Q. Here are the lyrics to the fourth verse:
Well 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?
Well, remember when I moved in you,
And the holy dove was moving too,
And every breath we drew was hallelujah..
Is my analysis correct? What do you think of it?
Buckley is referring to a time when he shared intimate sex with someone.. When he says "remember when I moved in you.." he's referring to making love to her, and when he reaches orgasm,(the holy dove) "was moving too" and the holy dove refers to his sperm and also his love for her.. I think though the climax of the verse is the last line. Beautiful , just beautiful when he sings with pain on his face.. "and every breath we drew was hallelujah".. He has climaxed and is looking at her face and breathing with her with love and passion. This is all a memory to him as he says at the start of the verse .."well there was a time, when you let me know, what's really going on below(subtle sexual connotation)..
Even playing this verse on the piano, the chords go up the scale with minor falls as the verse goes on showing as he starts to reach orgasm.. Am I right in saying this verse has no religious reference and is clearly about sex and hes lustful and painfully sad because he never has sex with her anymore?
Watch the video and especially listen to lyrics while watching his facial expressions and the tones he sings the words in.
A. I think you have it exactly right.

A. Em, yus. I think that's what it means. I've recently learned this song on my guitar (you're right it sounds beautiful....) and had the same thoughts on that particular verse. I've seen the video too, and recognized the clip where he makes "the face". Best described as "full of passion"
And yes, I believe that this verse has no religious reference, though almost all of the rest do.
I hope this helped in some way, it looks as if you got it.
what was the first song you learned to play?
Q. What was the first song you could play all the way through on guitar?
Also any tips on what songs i should try to learn (I'm A Noob).
I want to learn songs with chords and tabs (Not something extremely easy, i want a challenge.)
A. I learned to play "The Incomprehensible Sleep" by a band called Cool Hand Luke.
It wasn't a good beginner's song, as it has nothing but barred jazz chords. It was a serious challenge, but it paid off.
I'd recommend something with a 16-note strum pattern(up-down-up-down at a steady pace) and both major an minor chords.
Check out "Hallelujah" by... Well, it's been covered by hundreds of people and I don't know the original artist, but I like John Cale's version.
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOZLQ3d1FI
I know that's on piano, but the chords work the same.
Chords(with tab for the chords): http://www.e-chords.com/guitartab.asp?idmusica=37891
While that's in the key of G, I prefer the key of C.
The chords in the key of C: C instead of G, Am instead of Em, G instead of D, F instead of C, Em instead of Bm, and I think that's all the ones used.
So the intro is (C) up-down-rest-up-down-rest- (Am) [move your ring finger to the string under your middle finger] up-down-up-down. Just repeat that a couple times.
Hope this helps, and that's not overly confusing(I'm horrible at trying to explain chords).
Good luck!
