Most popular "dramatic montage" song ever: 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen. |
|
Used in "The West Wing", "Scrubs", "Shrek", and more.
Tonight, it got a workout on "House".
The Jeff Buckley version, same as the "WW" 3rd season closer.

2. They also used it in "The O.C." |
|
Or so I've read. Never seen the show.
Still, it's a great song. One of the best.

4. My crying moment came during the 2nd season closer |
|
to the tune of "Brothers In Arms", but, yeah, the "Hallelujah" montage was very powerful.

5. Leonard Cohen is the man of my dreams. |
|
A fine mind, a fine heart, and pretty easy on the eyes. Here's a bump for your thread, Aristus. :thumbsup:

6. John Cale's version is incredible |
|
Best version, IMO. I read an interview w/ Cohen a few years ago where he says it's his favorite, too.
Best song he ever wrote..

10. I actually thought John Cale's version was a little dry. |

8. It really needs a rest at this point |
|
It's so overdone...at this point using it is just letting your creative bankruptcy show.
I also propose a moratorium on the use of O Fortuna in trailers for shitty action movies.
