Love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah. So says Leonard Cohen.
I've had this idea for many years now that blue is the color of love. Not just any blue, though. It has to be a blue both deep and luminous. Chagall had it down. It also appears for a few fleeting moments at sunset on a clear evening, approximately three-quarters-sky distance from the sun's slicing the western horizon. I am constantly on the lookout for this blue.
I wrote lyrics the other day basically rejecting Cohen's definition of love (Turns out hallelujah means rejoice). But still, if I were to design my own personal box of crayons, Hallelujah Blue would be my favorite.
