Today, in contrast, one particular Leonard Cohen song is featured prominently in no less than three separate episodes of teen uberdrama The OC, and can be heard in at least twenty-four separate movies and TV episodes, almost always as the soundtrack to a montage of people being sad.
What I hope to show today is how, exactly, that happened to a song called “Hallelujah.”
I liked this lengthy article, and am surprised at the absurd start of this beautiful song. I admit the Buckley version is quite nice, but my heart tends to prefer the Wainwright version, probably because I heard it first, but also because my voice is similar to his and I like singing along with it.
