Hallelujah

Perhaps whoever was on the school’s Christmas concert planning committee picked it because of the title, or maybe the committee was stacked with Leonard Cohen fans. Regardless, we were amused to hear 9 and 10 year olds passionately singing the words to Hallelujah:

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her

She tied you

To a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah…

Dammit again. Oh, I don't care - this one will show up on my blog, too.

Did the students follow it up with a rousing rendition of Chelsea Hotel?

Hush little children don't be scared, she didn't really tie him to a kitchen chair.

This is one of the best songs ever... love it. Ever hear Jeff Buckley's cover? It takes it to a whole 'nother level.
