What is Leonard Cohens song, Hallelujah, about?
Cohen wrote at least two versions. This question gets asked quite a bit; the song one of my favorites. Cohen weaves religious/Biblical references throughout his works. Here he’s merging his own love life with that of King David and Bathsheba. Pure, sacred love being lost by the body’s physical needs. The best explanation I’ve found of that song is “One Haunting Ballad Has Been the Soundtrack to Many Lives Recently. But Why?” by Bryan Appleyard, which can be found at: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/t… More at: http://www.webheights.
