Hallelujah!!!!

Can a voice mesmerize the soul, Can a frame of painting elevate you from your perceptions of reality to a world of bliss? Well i always belived that every one has a emotional intellegence which is not rational, unlike common intellegence, but it is gained by the our personal experience where you hear, feel, say something from deep inside, not insanely but something very profound and out of deep thought.

Art is a form of emotional intellegence.. It may not seem rational to many but it is more personal in opinion to every individual.... An opinion on any art, music or painting or movie, is formulated by the thought triggered by an emotional chemical reaction.. Many people like a song which may contain stupid lyrics, and no mathematical sane notaions or rythm.. but it triggers something inside, something which our intellegence rationalizes personally... something which is unseen by others... more personal than their own thoughts, something closer than their conciousness... sometimes they can explain it, and sometimes its inexplicable.

I was always triggered by many such things, many times, but few days back it reached its new heights. I heard a song on tv, a male voice sang hallelujah... that was all i got, but the tune caught my concious alertness.. i turned to the next best thing after God to point me to the correct direction.. you guessed right Google, i searched for a day or so, and finally i got the lyrics and the song in male voice... it was by leonard cohen... it was mesmerizing.. then soon, i stumbled upon a new voice which had done a cover of the song... a female voice... Allison crowe... a cover of orignal.. only better.... no much better... and thus my latest crush(not in love sense.. but more of artistic obsession sense) was born.
I downloaded few of her songs,,, of which 'Hallelujah', 'Lisa's Song' and 'In Love and In Vain', i played for 7 hours continuously.I wish i can explain why i heard the songs in her voice for 7 hours continuous, i wish i can explain the clearity of her voice... i wish i could explain her pitch, her tone,, and the essence of lyrics that touched me deep inside... i wish.....and i can explain in rational sense but i wont... then it would be like disecting something personal, something very close.... ;-)

If you wish to, you can chk out the songs they are for free download at her website...so are the lyrics....
