Dublin O2, Hallelujah, Leonard Cohen, July 23rd




this song amazes me....I can feel him singing it....beautiful..... 
 Leonard Cohen, on what the song 'Hallelujah' is about: "This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled but there are moments when we can transcend the dualistic system and reconcile and embrace the whole mess and that's what I mean by 'Hallelujah'. That regardless of what the impossibility of the situation is, there is a moment when you open your mouth and you throw open your arms and you embrace the thing and you just say 'Hallelujah! Blessed is the name.' And you can't reconcile it in any other way except in that position of total surrender, total affirmation."
