JEFF BUCKLEY - HALLELUJAH

Jeff Buckley, hijo del fabuloso Tim Buckley, saltó a la fama a principios de los noventa sobre todo por su asombrosa versatilidad vocal. Para mí, además de eso, era un gran guitarrista. No es que fuera un virtuoso, es que su guitarra sonaba tan profunda y emocionante como su voz, con millones de matices. La verdad es que no podía decidirme en qué tema postear, pero la verdad es que este es un clásico inigualable. La versión original es de Leonard Cohen, pero ésta de Buckley se convirtió en parámetro para todas las demás versiones. Jeff demuestra todo el potencial de su voz y su guitarra en vivo, tocando Hallelujah...




Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

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 (x4)
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
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)

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 (x4)
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 (x4)

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah (x4)

Hallelujah (x4)

Hallelujah (x5)
