    When the lyrics say
    "It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift"
    The actual piano chords are playing in the song at the same time

    When you're an ogre and overhear a princess saying that something is ugly so you assume its you and get angry but is actually her because she is an ogre at night. so you go get lord farquad and his crew and come back in the morning just as the princess turns back to a human and you get your deed to your swamp and as you go there you talking donkey friend tried to ask why you all grumpy and you get mad at it and everything else and walk away and feel all sad while the princess also feels sad.
    Yep. This music fits that circumstances.

    the first few lines are about king David 2 Samuel 11- chapter 12. the last few i can easily see as being about him so but i think that the composer was drowning ties to his own life (or to shreck's predicament) or it could be said that it what God was trying to say to david. like a how he can use the brokenness in our lives. ether way it is up for internation this is just how i see this gorgeous song.

      It made me cry too. do you know what hallelujah means?

    • @Dazzie27
      @Dazzie27 10 років тому +2

      yeah but im not religious, so i dont think that has anything to do with why i was crying. i think its the childhood feels.

    • @the47alex
      @the47alex 10 років тому +1

      Dazzie27 yeah of course. the meaning of hallelujah doesn't make any person cry I think, it's a praise. I also don't know to say why this song made me, and you, cry O.o

      its probably because you feel old, like youve grown up, because as most people think of this song when we were young watching movies, and you just feel like you miss those days i guess? i dont know sorry

      Well this song has a very sad and mournful sound to it. Makes sense that you would be moved to tears. Makes me sad sometimes and if you really listen to the lyrics of it it is quite sad.
