The song Hallelujah in the video below has a special place in my heart. It has such a beautiful and captivating melody! This is subtitled with Amara, a free Web based program for captioning videos, and the captions can be toggled on and off with the CC button located near the slider. I tried subtitling with Amara, and it was easy to work with and goes quicker the more familiar with the keyboard shortcuts I get and with the use of a foot pedal recently acquired at a second-hand store.
What a good song to practice steno to!
Lyrics, Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen, performed by Jeff Buckley
I heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord, but you don't really care for music, do you? And it goes like this, the 4th, the 5th, the minor fall and the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah. (Hallelujah x 4)
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, and she cut your hair, but from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. (Hallelujah x 4)
Baby, I've been here before. I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor. You know, I used to live alone before I knew you. But 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 x 4)
There was a time when you let me know what's really going on below, but now you never show that to me, do ya? Remember when I moved in you, and the holy dove was moving, too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah. (Hallelujah x 4)
Baby, there's a God above. All I've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. It's not a cry that you hear at night. It's not somebody who's seen the light. It's a cold, and it's a broken hallelujah. (Hallelujah x 13)
A VOICE: Wow.
