Why has Iheartradio confused Pachelbel and Cohen’s “Hallelujah” with being Christmas music?

[Anonymous]

And please, can they change up the playlist and banish that Mariah Cary monstrosity?

Please and thank you.

Make your own Spotify Christmas playlist.

Or you can set up a Pandora channel and train it to play the type of music you want.

I have my own Spotify Christmas playlist and include several songs that aren't technically Christmas songs, but are very much appropriate for the season. Hallelujah (various versions) and Pachelbel Canon in D are both on there. They're beautiful songs.

It doesn't really bother me when a lot of the music would be played in a Church anyway

There's a lot of classical music out there that feels like I'd be in a church somewhere, for a wedding, who knows.

I'm not a purist

Can you provide a link to the song? That would help me in answering your question.

Cohen's Hallelujah is about infidelity, so no, not a Christmas song by any stretch

Pachabel Canon is fine, particularly if it is the Christmas Canon version.

We play various versions of Hallelujah during Christmas, regardless. It's a beautiful song.

It's not Christmas music though.

It’s the same morons who play Born in the U.S.A. at a Republican fundraiser at a country club or at an address to U.S. troops

Is it Handel’s Hallelujah chorus? That could be for the Easter portion of the Messiah.

No, she said the Cohen Hallelujah (the one talking about sex explicitly, as well as various Biblical infidelities of Samson and Delilah)

Great song, but not even remotely Christmas-y

"Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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 a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did—well, really—what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah"

I've already acknowledged that. Are you always this pedantic?

That doesn't sound like a song about infidelity.

Also who cares it sounds beautiful if it reminds you of God or Christmas then so be it enjoy it.
