Leonard Cohen

leonard-cohen

 

Canadian born Leonard Cohen, musician and songwriter, passed away in Los Angeles at 82 years of age. Known as “the master of erotic despair”, Cohen’s sexual 1984 song “Hallelujah” continues to be embraced by Christians for worship services.

 

Here is a post from our archives from 2014:

 


IDTIMWYTIM: Fake Hymns: L. Cohen’s “Hallelujah”

A devout observant Jew, who began studying Zen in 1970, became a Zen Buddhist monk in 1996. In 1984 he wrote and released one of the most covered and widely loved pop-songs in history: “Hallelujah.”

GenuineIt is simple, powerful, and visceral.

It has references to Scripture–or at least appears to, and even refers to “the holy dove.” Most importantly it says “Hallelujah” lots and lots of times.

Hundreds of Christian artists have covered this song as if it were a Christian hymn. The letters IDTIMWYTIM mean “I don’t think it means what you think it means.”

The reference to “the holy dove” in the song is made in reference to innuendo about sexual pleasure.

And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

The song itself is about a love/sex relationship that is being destroyed by the couple. The references to Scripture are to similar situations with David and Bathsheba, Sampson and Delilah. The references, however, are either confused or poetically reinterpreted. Cohen makes it sound like David had his hair cut by a woman who betrayed him, or perhaps it is the song’s narrator who is tied up by his lover:

You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

The word Hallelujah “Praise the Lord” is used here as a double entendre.

The song itself promotes an Agnostic view of God

Maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who has seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

The Agnostic argument continues to the next verse, where the notion of religious belief is relegated to a personal issue.

You say I took the name in vain
I don’t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what’s it to you?
There’s a blaze of light in every word
It doesn’t matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

And yet, somehow the song’s narrator hopes to stand before some kind of god at the end. Cohen calls him the “Lord of Song.” One of the implications is that the tragic sorrow filled broken love lives of people are merely the lyrics of the song written by this “Lord of Song.”

I did my best, it wasn’t much
I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch
I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I’ll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Followed by 17 Hallelujahs.

Cohen certainly has produced a memorable song. And it appears from the list of cover artists, that anybody can bring their theology or interpretation to the song without ruining the song.

Sure, some of the Christian artists cut out the “naughty bits” or most of them… and maybe even add their own verses.

But isn’t that a blatant admission that the song itself is not really a Biblical Christian Hymn?

I want to hear this song, but in the right setting. It belongs at a dance at the tail end of the second set, or just before the musicians take their last break for the night. When the kids are sleeping on coats on the benches beside the dance floor. When I can look into my wife’s eyes and be thankful that the song isn’t about our relationship.

I don’t want ever to hear it in Church.

Gang, it isn’t a Christian hymn, so, please, don’t pretend it is. You end up making the Atheists giggle.
