More k.d. lang - Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
About five.
Turn up your sound.

I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord,
but you don't really care for music, do you.
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift,
the baffled king composing hallelujah.

Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof,
you saw her bathing on the roof,
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Hallelujah...

***

Well, maybe there's a god above,
but all I've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
It's not a cry that you hear at night.
it's not somebody who's seen the light,
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah,

Hallelujah...

Chills.
