I love the internet: an extraordinarily well-researched article on the different versions and uses of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." (via kottke)
[Imogen Heap's] song "Hide and Seek" soundtracked the final moments of the OC's second season, the slot occupied a year before by a full rendition of [Jeff] Buckey's "Hallelujah." This pairing was so successful that, for the finale of season three, the final moments were accompanied, once again, by Heap, this time covering --and, to be clear, I am not shitting you--"Hallelujah." This is the point where the OC consumes itself whole, and it is a sickeningly gorgeous thing to watch.
