Original Lyrics for Hallelujah Cover - Improve the lyrics to improve your mind!

One thing I haven't done in a while is write a new song. Generally I am writer of lyrics, a poet of sorts but I almost always steal the music from some other song, and when I don't I have to try to find someone to make music for my lyrics.

Hallelujah is a great song already, though I much prefer one version over another, I mostly don't like mindlessly repeating other people's lyrics, even if they are powerful, if they are depressing or revealing of some lower human condition. There is of course a place for that in music. I just like to 'fix' lyrics so that if they get stuck in my head, I don't get depressed for months. Much of our psychology remains at the level of the music we listen too, and even 'great' songs have questionable psycological effects in my opinion.

The original song, as I interpret it, is about King David, one of the greatest Bible figures. He was a musician and also a poet, he wrote many of the Psalms in the bible, which pleased the Lord. He was so beloved by God that he became King and conquered all of his enemies, no one could stand against him and his country entered a period of great prosperity.

Until...he coveted another man's wife. From his castle or tower, he saw her naked on the roof. This lady was the wife of one of his generals, Uriah, and after having made her pregnant, and worried that he would be found out, he schemed a way for the husband to die in battle.

After this, David no longer pleased the Lord. His throne was broken by this act, his enemies came against him. His own son Absalom led a rebellion against him for many years, and even had sex with 10 of David's wives in public, perhaps a symbolic retribution for David's sin.

The song originally written by Leonard Cohen ends with this depressed, but yet defiant verse:

This is a powerful statement about the human condition (and God's vibratory nature), but the human condition is nonetheless sad, and stated thusly, in past tense, it comes to doom us before we've even had a chance, in my humble opinion.

This is the problem I have not just with music, but with much of deterministic philosophy. Yes we are broken. Sure we are bad, as bad and worse than beasts! Evolution is a lie, we are worse than before, look around you! As Samael writes in his Treatise on Revolutionary Psychology, 'It is enough to read universal history to find out that we are still the same barbarians of the past, and instead of improving, we have become worse'.

Well not me! I'm getting better every day 😃 - and I would encourage you to do the same! Observe your many selves and feel free to excommunicate the parts that don't make you any better. Also, examine your level of consciousness, especially through your music. Are these lyrics and slogans making you a better person??? If not, why not try something different?

Here, today, I would like to share with you all a new version of Hallelujah, roughly based on my own life experiences, in some parts completely new and in some parts just adjusted slightly. Over the course of the next 100 singings, I may come to change some of the words, for that is life. One day, I may release an album of great classic songs with better lyrics, at least I will want a copy 😅 Feel free to leave your comments below about music, psychology or even my lyrics.
