Musings of a Loquacious Mind

I heard there was a secret chord...

Everytime I hear this song - or even think of this song - it burrows into my brain. It plays and my thoughts flow around it and it seems to make everything seem so much more important. Or trivial. I prefer the Cale version. I tend to mentally edit out any verses I don't really like. This reminds me of how my mom liked the song Under the Bridge before she really listened to the lyrics.

Now 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
Hallelujah
