I can't embed this video, but it's Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah. There is something about that word that fits so perfectly with so many things I want to say. Things that are happy but a little sad, or sad but a little happy. The word itself is more dynamic than I sometimes give it credit for, and I think this version does an excellent job of dramatizing the richness of one word.

oh sigh and murmur and joy.
Yes! I never thought about it that way, but Yes! My favorite part of the song is when he exhales at the very beginning of the recording. That breath. My goodness.
it's just like in poison's "every rose has a thorn" (the breathy beginning--amazing!)
