cathedra

Monday, back to the real world. I feel like i'm fighting off a sinus infection, at least I hope i'm fighting it off. I'm dressed ever so clean and crisp today. My boss came back from a week long business trip to France, so I have to look productive...

I was thinking about something my mom said yesterday while we were watching the end of Shrek. The song Hallelujah from Jeff Buckley played and she said she thought that song reminded her a lot of me. Which I found kind of odd because I'm religious at all. But she said it wasn't about religion, she said the melancholic view of love that I have. Hmmm which freaked me out since I didn't think my mom knew about that. I guess she knows me better than i thought she did. Oh well, if you don't know the song, download it, it's well worth it. Here are the lyrics:

Hallelujah
by: Jeff Buckley

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

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
She cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe I have 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 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
