Because slowly, over the past 20 years, almost by accident, “Hallelujah” became the sad standard of our times.Īn album track by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohenin 1985, covers by former Velvet Underground member John Cale, and then the late Jeff Buckleydragged it into the pop culture spotlight, where it’s served to highlight the sad parts of movies and TV shows from “Shrek” and “Scrubs” to “The OC” and “The West Wing.” You won’t remember Jason Castro six months from now, but the song - “Hallelujah” - will probably stick with you ’til the day it’s played at your funeral.
