in my case, Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah.
people find it odd that I love this song so much, but it's just beautiful.
I think some people find it odd when someone can genuinely love a song that refers to any religion other than their own. but a beautiful, touching song is a beautiful, touching song.
Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well baby I've been here before
I’ve seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah.....
really beautiful and touching song, but quite simple too.
I think this was brought on by watching Shrek the other night. okay, so it's a different version of the song, but the tune works it's way in quite a lot into the whole film.

I really love this song too, Galena, and the fact that it refers to another religion has never really bothered me. In fact, there are songs from many religions and cultures that I am not a part of that I have found beautiful!
The last song I listened to was Loreena McKennitt's version of Greensleeves. I have no idea why I love her version so much, but I swear I could listen to it all the time.

Actually, the last song I listened to was a remake of "Afternoon Delight". It was originally by the Starland Vocal Band back in the seventies. But the one I listened to was done by the cast of the movie "Anchorman" with Will Farrell.
A friend of mine made me a cd full of parodies and goofy (and somewhat dirty at times, lol) songs. She stuck this on it because we both liked the movie. It has a few with Jack Black that I can't type the names of on here. And it also has a few of the skits they do on WDVE for the morning show.
"Afternoon Delight" is really a good song, though. I remember it when it first came out, even though I was young then. I liked it!

Well I just got done with a two-pack.
Rammstein's "Hitler" and Rammstein's "Hallelujah" which is very religious and inspiring if you listen to it. Much more than any other namesake.

Actually the last song I listened to was Come On Feel The Noise by Quiet Riot because it was on my dad's digital cable music channel. good song, though.
