I like to do covers when I'm not feeling very creative. Here's a good one that Merck got me interested in when he told me it was by Rufus Wainwright. I arranged it for piano and attempted to sing it, even though I'm just getting over a cold. It's a gorgeous song.
Hallelujah.mp3
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Its not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelu-uuu-ujah
