Hallelujah- Rufus Wainwright

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
in 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'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 you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
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
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

Abe Lincoln and that should be enough reason for you to read this post


I haz an idea! I wanna make this a quote a day blog :D To start it off, here are some of my favorites from Abraham Lincoln!

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

-Abraham Lincoln


Damn I wish he was my grandfather! That guy is AWESOME :D <3

I haz interwebz!




Just got internet so I figured I'd post and let you know I'm alive. ...Whoever the hell you are...


Anyways, yeah, I have so much to say that I can't even think of wha to write so I'm just gonna leave that for another time when I fell more in the mood to rant. I had a busy day as usual so I just fell like chilling and watching some mind numbeing cable (which I also just got!)

Oh, as something to entertain yourselves, here are some awesome songs I found!

July Flame by Laura Veirs

In For the Kill by La Roux

Anthem by Filo & Peri featuring Eric Lumiere (Nic Chagall remix)

Have a great day! (Oh, yeah...the Catwoman pic is because she's in NYC which is where I'm near.)
(...And I love Catwoman...) :)
