What are you listening to right now?

I'm really enamored with the latest Norah Jones' album...

WOW#!

I have the CD with a different musical pair [Michael Zaretsky, Viola; Xak Bjerken, Piano] but the Glinka instrumental duet is quite stunning.

Great album-great song

Kudos to Norah Jones for revamping her sound.

I did not recognize Norah. But same great voice.

i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah

hallelujah...

well 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 her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah

hallelujah...

baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah

well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

hallelujah...

Izzie,
Jeff Buckley, Hallelujiah
pretty and somber and can understand each word. Thanks for sharing.
I am listening to his "Grace" song.
And I have a Hallelujiah song to share with you.

Sting has a new album just in time for the holidays;If On A Winter's Night. Lovely songs done with a strong cast of musicians.

Christmas At Sea



BTW-the accompanying lyrics are Scots Gaelic

Okay, so I like to throw spitballs sometimes....

I knew this song sounded familiar though I have never heard of this (the original?) version. The Mavericks had remade the song on their debut album.

This version holds its charms.
