    ------ About the song Everybody Here Wants You performed by Jeff Buckley

I found this song on a friends' playlist and I am a dancer in Los Angeles, whenever I play this song for stage, by the end of the song I need a shopping bag for the $$$$ . It moves men like a bulldozer ....

Men have imaginations, and they can be electric charge pulses
Thanks Jeff , you make my night .... Every night


The Music and Words | Reviewer: ME
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

Nothing has ever moved me like this song. The words indicate sorrow and woe..... but also refer to sad love. I wish that there is another song like this timeless piece of music!

For me it means that the man needs to realize that salvation is by grace | Reviewer: Theo
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

This song is so beautifull. It touch us deeply. I can see myself trying to please the Creator - God. But man cannot do that. "Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand"; as Don Moen sings. The unique way to be free from melancholy and receiving His Salvation is trough Jesus.

My Take | Reviewer: Denny
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

You don't have to know the Bible to be moved by this song. But you do have to possess some understanding of Old Testament Biblical history to see why Leonard Cohen used these Bible stories. This song borrows from Samson & Delilah, as well as David & Bathsheba. Love representing a broken & cold Hallelujah is quite Biblically accurate. In Eccl. 7:2-4 talks about how it is better to attend a house of mourning, than a house of feasting. By sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. All throughout the Bible, True Love is shown to be of self surrender, one who serves & love can very well be quite broken. This song interprets many feelings.

hallelujah! | Reviewer: Nelsia
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

No one is wrong and everyone is right. This is loaded with literary devices and i love the discussions it generates. As long as you can support your answer then you are right. It is about relationship between God and Man and two lovers... our lives a filled with so many broken hallelujahs -in spite of the brokenness we can still find or recall some happiness. This man is embracing his journey. Wonderful piece of literature and a beautiful song!

    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

I have heard many songs and I swear no song have ever moved me like Hallelujah. I at least listen to this song at leats twice a day. It is sooths. Burke has not included the third and forth stanzas.

Replace God with Music | Reviewer: Frank
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

He is stating that Music is who he turned to in his time of loss. Praise the music. After he broke down he began to sing.."And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah." Another example: "And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah." Which is what enables everyone to share this song. Music is what heals, and he has all of us looking to this song.

Just don't question it. | Reviewer: Jess
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

OK, the person who said how can "hallelujah" be "broken" . sERIOUSLY??? I means that the faith in the lord is broken or lost. Comeon I'm a ninth grader and I can figure that out.Over all this is my favorite song and, don't question it just enjoy.

Caution: Very honest | Reviewer: Lucie
    ------ About the song Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley

This song seemed amazing to me in that visceral, from the gut feeling everyone talks about. Of course, like so many of you I had to take a look at the lyrics. The lyrics are at odds with the "religious" theme of the song, but that is exactly why I adore it. I get Cohen's sarcasm, frustration, and defeat. The whole package is nothing but amazing. Remember how "Born in the USA" was not about patriotism? "Hallelujah" is not so much about the lord as it is about man's pithiness in the context of his world full of hope, sadness, failed love, lack of intimacy, acceptance, etc. As such, the song is made so more more significant by the dichotomy and irony of the chorus, music and lyrics. It's a complicated song, but life is complex if you're a thinking person.
