Years after he wrote Hallelujah, after Mount Baldy I think, Cohen took to talking in interviews about the tremendous sense of relief he felt when he knew he was finally and irrevocably beaten. It seems to me that if the song is about anything it's about this - OK, sure, we're all defeated, we all fail in our grandiose dreams, but maybe somehow we find in ourselves the capacity to say yes to the world anyway. In other words, yes, your grand romantic dreams came to nothing, you didn't manage to ascend to the realm of the angels and let's face it you never will, but somehow you found yourself saying yes, amen and hallelujah anyway. A psychoanalyst once told me that in his experience this cycle is normally over within eighteen months I remember thinking, 'I wish I could make it last that long! I generally manage about three.'īut it seems to me that the crux of the verse is the last line before the chorus, which they didn't really discuss - 'she tied you to a kitchen chair / she broke your throne and she cut your hair / and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah'. Yes, they're beautiful lines, and we've all been there - the great surging tide of passion lifts you out of the mundanities of workaday life and for a few precious moments the world seems to be charged with beauty and energy and meaning - then it recedes again, and you find yourself back in the ordinary world, washing the dishes and taking out the rubbish, and the lover who moments ago was the incarnation of Aphrodite and Venus is revealed to be just an ordinary person, no different to anyone else - and as the ordinariness comes crashing in again, you feel you've been obscurely cheated or somehow tricked.
I was a little surprised that the lines which seemed to stand out for the presenter, and for at least one of the guests, were, 'she tied you to a kitchen chair / she broke your throne and she cut your hair'.
