uh oh I want to say something controversial
#it is not bad for me as a Christian to resonate with Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah in that way#just like it's not wrong for an islamic or jewish person to resonate with say catholic imagery wrt to their own beliefs#idek what the original context behind Hallelujah was bc Google isn't giving me anything relevant but I've seen people#criticizing how it's used at Christmas and made to mean something it wasn't intended to. but I think that it's possible#to respect a thing's original context while also being able to engage with it within our own#idk it's only relevant rn bc I'm thinking about hum hallelujah again and my Christian context for the WORD 'hallelujah'#is probably why I find the hope in it so easily#anyway.#delete later probably
