Serendipity

The laws of chance, strange as it seems,
Take us exactly where we most likely need to be

Hallelujah

The song explains that many kinds of Hallelujahs do exist. I say : "All the perfect and broken Hallelujahs have an equal value". It's, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion.

I wanted to get into this tradition of the composers who said "Hallelujah" but with no precise religious point of view. And then I realize there is a "Hallelujah" more general that we speak to the world, to life… It's a rather joyous song.

It's not exactly some gratitude but the affirmation there is a will that we can't control.
