Complicated relationship | Reviewer: Leslie | 11/21/08 I agree that this song is just amazingly simple, yet wonderfully beautiful. The way I see it, and who cares if I am wrong, the two in the song are in love with each other. One of them is holding the relationship back from being whole, for some reason. The whole idea of only being affectionate in secret makes me think that maybe for some reason this is some kind of forbidden relationship. I like the idea that Hallelujah means "I love you", and I think that the party that wants to be 'all in' with the other, is feeling very hurt and frustrated that they can't be together. I don't know thats just what I think but no matter what its an amazing song, that can mean many things to different people. Perfection | Reviewer: Blake | 9/17/08 This is just one of many perfectly simple and pure songs by Damien Rice. His use of instruments is captivating and compliments the enchanting lyrics without taking the focus off them. The best songwriter of our time. I don't go a day without him. Absolute magic. it is what is | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/1/08 this song is one of those great songs that can relate to someone however they choose. the aleluyahs represent "I love you"s. he's hurt. someone he loved left. he's asking why this person filled his hopes and dreams with lies, because she left. Great song:p | Reviewer: eliee | 7/16/08 I really find this song great! Everytime I hear it,it gives me a sweet depression! As for you Thom: I dont agree with you! I think that each of us has the right to understand and imagine what he wants from a song! because everyone of us is different and thinks different from the others! So I dont find it proper to judge people for their opinions on the song! A song is like a poem! Everyone defines it with his own way and makes out his own conclusions! amazing | Reviewer: elyx | 7/6/08 this song give me chills, everytime i listen it...it is just amazing. damien rice is the most awesome singer alive.. And why'd you fill my sorrows With the words you've borrowed From the only place that you've known Why'd you sing Hallelujah If it means nothing to you Why'd you sing with me at all? *cry* *cry* What!? | Reviewer: Thom | 6/30/08 First things first, this song is not about a woman having a relationship with a pastor, it is not about a guy hurting a girl, how does someone on this forum find hope for her boyfriend and herself listening to this song? It is simply about Damien Rice's ex-girlfriend or ex-wife leaving him period. Go buy his second album and listen to it and the first one will make a lot more sense (at least for me it has). Secondly, I hate to be "that guy" that says to everyone, "what the heck are you all talking about!?" Though unfortunately I have to be. There are many posts about how guys are so terrible blah, blah, blah; we are not all terrible! I have been played by so many girls that I literally felt it was my turn to do the same--I am now going on a three year relationship so I grew out of it. Nonetheless I had a hard time trusting girls for a long time. Girls in general (not all) are so wrapped up in their feminist views (which I support) that they think all guys are out to get them. Here is the thing, if you put yourself in a position to leave your partner that is disrespectful towards your partner, vice versa it is disrespectful towards you. If you take anything with you from this post, if you love someone (unless for certain circumstances, ie you are in an abusive relationship, etc.) do not leave them; don't put yourself in a position to where you can fall for someone else. As a culture we put to much emphasis on the "fuzzy feelings" we get in the beginning of a relationship. That feeling always ends--as most of you know. Love is tough work but you don't need me to type this for anyone to know that. I will end this post on this note, and I am quoting from my first love, "date someone that you see a future with not just a night" plain and simple. Before I start getting hate posts about my comments, please take a deep breathe and re-read this post, reflect upon it, and if you still feel the need to tear me apart by all means do. These are just my opinions and I stick true blue to. damien rice | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/23/08 and so it is ...just like you said it would be... i quote damien rice to my best friend..who i have unfortunately fallen for. she is a truely amazing girl...and i got her to listen to this song, in front of me. and she clicked. across the table, she started to cry... are situation is very delicate..i shouldnt like her because we are best friends...but yet i long for her company...i long to smell her smell...to touch her skin....damien rice..you helped me..thank you Meaning | Reviewer: cris | 3/28/08 This song is about a female church member who is having a secret relatinoship with her Pastor. As she watching the Pastor speak and sing in front of the members, she daydreams about the moments when they're alone and the affection they share. She gets brought back to reality when she realizes that whenever she asks him to make the relationship public he dissapoints her by quoting the Bible--their relation and his faith don't mix. But even so, She wonders, why he sings or preaches at all, given she feels his love for her is stronger than his faith. In a last thought of self-assuredness, she wonders, why does he preach at all, then? Theory of love | Reviewer: Carolina | 3/22/08 I’ve thinking a lot because of this song. Thinking about the men who I had loved so much, about his words, his feelings. He always says love is horrible but, is it? It makes you so vulnerable, that’s truth, and it opens your chest, your heart, and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up, and I accept that too. Actually, you give “that person” a piece of you when didn't ask for it or deserve it. You see, they do something dumb one day like smile at you, or hold you in “that moment”, and then your life isn't your own anymore... Love really takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you sometimes crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like “maybe something is wrong between us” or “I really think this is not working very well” turns you in to horror darkness, breaks your heart. I know sometimes it hurts (not just in the imagination, not just in the mind.) It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real fucking pain, and that’s why he hates love. But, if I didn't hurt him, I dind't leave him along, why is he thinking love is shit? I can’t understand why he believes that. Why is he so disappointed about this, if I loved him like none in this world and he was one of the most important person in my life? I don’t know, I hope one day he change his mind and looks this from another point of view, just because I loved him, and I want ALL THE BEST for him.
