HALLELUJAH.
HALLELUJAH - SHREK SOUNDTRACK
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?
i am not what i show you.It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
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
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe I’ve been here before
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What’s real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Maybe there’s a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry you can 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
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
heard this song during the first movie, reminded of it recently. it's a beautiful song by a broken hearted man. it's a hymn of pained love, and of psalm of lament with King David references. sweet simple song.
been listening to Connie Talbot, and man, every time she sings "Somewhere over the Rainbow" it's touching. she's come a long way since appearing on Britain's got talent at age 6. now she's 10, has three sold-out albums, and has a fourth album in the oven. still posts awesome covers on YouTube, worth a subscription.
you know, every time i blog, i try to make the posts light hearted and interesting. i want people to read and come back again the next time i post. i want them to think about their own lives and their friends and themselves.
this time, I'm going to post what i want to say.
life is not as great as i tell myself. i make mistakes and i screw up. sometimes badly, other times just bad enough to ruin my day. i will smile at you and joke with you, but the truth is you may have already irritated me and i feel like punching you. i think that true friends are really hard to find, and i don't trust easy, but if you're my friend, i can lay may life down for you. i am lazy, i don't bother to dress up and i hate taking pictures of myself even if I'm a photographer.
i think that the work i do is and forever will be under-recognized, and that i should make money than people think i deserve. i am far from perfect, but i am bold, and loud. if you do me wrong, i won't hold it against you, but i will make sure i don't fall for the same trick twice.
i think anything i can make is not worth buying, especially jewelery and shirts. i am critical of other's people artwork (if it's other things i don't really have any opinion) so if you impress me,it means i can't make it or i really think you are talent. i will rather buy blank, single color clothes and design them myself than go shop. i love wearing my own designs, be it shoes or jewellery. i dislike myself in glasses and skirts. i think tan tops are the most useful clothing ever invented, because they go with everything.
i hate dreaming, unless i cannot help it. i have more nightmares than good ones. i would rather make myself so tired that i can't dream. i remember more of my dreams than i want to, and they scare me when i wake up. i like the feeling of staying up all night and being touched with a feeling of surrealism where your mind just floats around the whole day. I'm angry at myself more times than i care to admit, and when I'm angry i feel like punching something or doing something dangerous.
i love English bands, and i listen to the occasional Chinese song to remember. i think songs are a sea of music to get lost in, and the lyrics mean a lot to me. or if the beats just loud and fun, and brings back wonderful memories, it's cool too. i don't watch TV, and i don't know any popular actors unless i see their face somewhere. Hollywood doesn't interest me, and i think in any movie, all that matters is the story and morals, not how hot the male lead is.
i want to be musically talented, and i want to sing my songs in front of a large crowd someday. but now, i just think my songs are cheesy and shallow, and I'm desperately trying to learn guitar so i can perform them one day. i want to be able to dance too. i took classes and i can move, but i want to sweat, let go and naturally impress people. i want to dance like in the movies, i want to be the girl in sneakers that has a cheerful spring in every move.
♥ I'VE GOT HEAVEN ON THE INSIDE OF ME.
peace and joy God has set me free.
peace and joy God has set me free.
