Hallelujah

"Hallelujah" is a song by American rock band Paramore, released as the second single from their second studio album "Riot!". The single peaked at No. 139 on the UK Singles Chart. The song is not to be confused with the Leonard Cohen song of the same name, although on the Final Riot! summer 2008 tour, lead singer Hayley Williams performed an extract, accompanied by lead guitarist, Josh Farro. The video, directed by Big TV!, was officially released on July 30, 2007. The video appears as a photo montage of backstage and live performance photos, with the lyrics of the song written in the spaces between the photos. The video will zoom in and out on some of the photos. When the photo fills the entire screen, the photo will be revealed to actually be a short video clip, and the video clip will play. The video was shot at Rocketown in Nashville, USA when the band were playing their Riot! tour, even though the music is playing over the concert performance. As of January, 2022, the song has over 16 million views on YouTube.

[Verse 1] Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place If we only had a way to make it all fall faster every day If only time flew like a dove Well, God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love [Chorus] This time, we're not giving up Let's make it last forever Screaming, "Hallelujah" We'll make it last forever [Verse 2] Holding on to patience wearing thin I can't force these eyes to see the end If only time flew like a dove Well, we could watch it fly and just keep looking up [Chorus] This time, we're not giving up Let's make it last forever Screaming, "Hallelujah" We'll make it last forever [Bridge] And we've got time on our hands (We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands Got nothing but, got nothing but (We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands [Chorus] This time, we're not giving up Ooh, let's make it last forever Screaming, "Hallelujah" (Hallelujah) "Hallelujah"
