John Cale - Hallelujah (The OC Marissa's Death)

às vezes a morte chega como um vendaval! E é sempre trágico... No seriado The Oc a personagem Marissa Cooper morre, e foi difícil acreditar. Não só porque ela era a "mocinha" da história (ainda que uma mocinha como eu gosto: bebia, teve "experiência homosexuais", consumia qualquer coisa que dessem prá ela e ainda assim se saia bem!) Mas ela morreu.
Trilha sonora: John Cale cantando 'Halleluijah'
Essa música seja recorrente no seriado, nas versões do próprio compositor (meio fraquinha...) da Imoegen Heep (nova! com direito a vocoder e etc..) e a do John Cale (sempre fantástica!)

"Hallelujah"

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
