What if Stumpy had kissed Chance back? What if Chance took the little man in his broad arms And cocked his carbine harder? Would his swagger have suddenly made sense to us? Would all the pieces have come together? Would he have put on the dress he modeled for Carlito? Would he have sent that woman o...

For me there will never be a moment
Never a now
Never a real past
I died a thousand years ago
And now I am my own ghost
Haunting my own life

He sucked lemons during battle He did not like to be touched He would cry like an infant He enjoyed clam juice on a hot day He wrote letters to his cat He wore a giant Mexican hat He made excellent biscuits He never did learn to drive He feared men with club feet He learned his famous swagger as a t...

Three hundred years from now, 90% of what we consider great will be forgotten, but the atomic men of that time will still listen to LC. He will in fact be preserved in head form.

Well it's a better choice than the one I had--"Everybody Knows"

I'm a biscuit boy. But I aspire to be a muffin man one day.

I suspect the chord progression itself (I–vi–I–vi / IV–V–I–V / I–IV,V–vi–IV / V–V/vi–vi–vi) actually is a secret reference to something in the Torah.

It's one of the greatest songs of the 20th century. You can't "ruin" it--it can only ruin you!

What do you think of the KD Lang cover?

And here's John Cale's version, which is a cleaned up and reorganized version of LC's live version as far as I know. The Wainwright version appears to be a slightly altered variation of this version. Words & music by Leonard Cohen I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it plea...

Here's the version I know of as the original LC version: Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah Lyrics Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffle...

There seem to be an array of variations on "Hallelujah." I know of two basic versions from Cohen himself, the original version "priestly" version and the subsequent live version which has a focus on interpersonal love. Then there's the Wainwright version and the Buckley version, ...
