Leonard CohenAbout
Though it is commonly regarded as a Christmas song and played often in churches, “Hallelujah” lyrically has a very different story, namely the second verse. While it uses a large amount of religious references and imagery, it can speak more towards a relationship that is not necessarily with God.

Hallelujah Lyrics
[Verse 1: Scott]
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 ya?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composin' Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2: Avi]
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3: Kirstin]
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
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4: Mitch]
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, yeah
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

What have the artists said about the video?
It turned out to be a stunning video, but it was a stressful day. We’d just flown back from a private event in Michigan and had a two-hour drive to the desert. The sun was setting so we only had a few hours to complete filming.
