Hallelujah - The Prettiest (And Most Abused) Song In The World Electric Enthusiasm
-
- Society & Culture
This amazing song took 7 years to write and was then roundly ignored. Only after a cover version and the untimely death of an artist did the song finally become popular.
Since then, Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece has been covered at least 300 times and was used in The West Wing, Scrubs, Watchmen, Shrek and much much more. Everybody treats it like a sad song, but it’s not – Cohen’s intention was much more joyful.
BTWs include death of the author, communication in relationships and ice cream chords.
