Cohen song that's hard to understand

The Cohen song Hallelujah was started in 1980, but wasn’t finally written until 1984. Naive listeners might fail to understand that it’s a highly erotic song.


An explicitly sensual version was brought out by Jeff Buckley.
Switch to YouTube to access the original Buckley's performance.


It's a song inspired by the singer's sexual relationship with a lady.
