Almost sounds like Leonerd Cohen's 'Hallelujah'.

"And from your lips, she drew the hallelujah."

That was great. It sounded inspired by Jeff Buckley's rendition of Cohen's "Hallelujah".

This is what happens when children are raised listening to the They Might Be Giants educational albums.

And I can't find anything wrong with that at all.

Am I the only one who found the wording really forced into the tune?

"There's billions of you that I could choose from, but you're the one for me because you're the closest one" seems a little too honest for a love song, even a chemistry love song.
