JJB Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The lyrics "The birds, they sang at break of day/Start again, I hear them say" pop up in Q magazines review of the album. Seeing as a writers credit to this track is towards Leonard Cohen, I've forever been thinking "What if it's hallelujah?". These lyrics fit to the melody line "I heard there was a broken chord/that david played and it pleased the lord". Do you think Coldplay have used Hallelujah as their sample? Sorry, this accidentally got posted in the DLIBYH sub forum. Ooops :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James. Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Wow, I never thought of this... those words seem to fit that tune, you could well be right here! If it is true, I just hope its not a complete rip off of Hallelujah, but maybe like a small tribute to Cohen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrk Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I don't think it samples Halleuja since the oracle said there are already too many covers and songs that sample it. I think it will be another Leonard Cohen song. I really love Halleluja BTW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thats what i was hoping for :) I don't think it's a bad thing, just that just in case it turns out to be like it, then people don't rage saying there was no warning that it was coming :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZ Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Samuel already posted in another thread, but the lyrics come from Cohen's song "Anthem". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiame Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I really doubt it. Hallelujah is the most over rated, over blown song ever. Those lyrics aren't Chris Martin's, they're Cohen's. They come from Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schröder Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg6HKkedhyI]Leonard Cohen: Anthem - O2 Arena - YouTube[/ame] As amazing as the lyrics are, the song itself is pretty dull. Won't be that much of a difficulty for Coldplay to top that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I hope that only a small portion of the lyrics are used from Anthem. I'd be pissed if they totally stole all the verses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel_94 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I need to listen to that Anthem song and see how he used those words in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
