Wow, those automatic translators seem to have come a long way! I remembered them as basically useless, that's why I didn't try.

At any rate - no relation to the original, right?

I just stumbled across a swedish version of "Hallelujah", by Molly Sanden. Here's a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sop2Tmikiug Now, if anyone here speaks swedish, I would really like to know what she's singing - I have a suspicion that it hasn't got all too much to do wi...

I read somewhere that it's simply Trinity. Now, I don't know how true that is... it's a balanced triangle of power and desire. A dynamic balance where one time you think that one is the master, and then it shifts, and the other one seems to be the REAL master now... and then you wonder, is the woman...

I have always found this song fascinating in a very twisted way, and could only partially make sense of the lyrics... so, let's analyze another song, boys (and girls), and let's see if it grows old and bitter!

Hahaha! Thanks for the information. I NEVER buy the Spiegel, only this time I did, for an pseudoscientific article about "the soul". I'm not sure I would even have found the interview with LC, if I hadn't read about it here on the forum!

Just to add a little more confusion (a.k.a. levels of meaning *g*), here are a few rather biblical ramblings of mine, regarding the first two stancas of "Hallelujah": Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord -- We start out with David's youth, when...

(1) How old were you when you first listened to Leonard? As a child, I heard LC played by my father all the time. My first conscious memory of it is from the age of 4.
