Hi all,

I'm looking for the band who play in the season 3 episode 21 on the closing on the following of secret agent death , the title should be "halleluia", do you know it?

Thanks for your help

Yes,
His Name was Jeff Buckley and this is a quote from wikipedia where you find total, and tragic info on him...
"Buckley's seminal version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was the album's (Grace) magnum opus, and is still considered by many to be the definitive recording of that song; it has since become Buckley's best-known song."
This song is probably one of the most played TV covers in history. It was used in last week's ER 23rd Nov I think? ("Maura Tierney vs the helicopter crash from ****" or something I almost flamed ER for using this great song as a "tear jerker"... but then ER will do ANYTHING to stay on the air).

Anyway, it was written as you'll see if you read (and it is fascinating reading) by Leonard Cohen who, if you click thru you'll find classic hits aplenty. Cohen was and (still alive) is a writer essentially from the late sixties 60's genius writer generation (got that Bob Dylan 60 mournful anguished quality doesn't it?).
Cohen wrote The Judy Collins classic "Suzanne", which you HAVE to listen to. Anything Cohen.

Back to Halleluia. It kind of got discovered by the new millenium producers and has become the "goto" song for irony and broken dreams/spirituality. Ironically, on it's surface it seems religious, but it's a sixties song, and find the lyrics and read them. VERRRRY disturbing , haunting and beautiful. No one's cover of the song EVER came close to Jeff's and so tho you'll see practically every singer in history has tried, they never play anything but the Buckley version.
His fragile and almost anguished performance was the only one to capture Cohen's depth of lyric.

I still break into tears every time it comes on in a TV show, even after 30,000 listenings on West Wing Reruns and every other show it's been used on (movies too.. Rufus Wainwright sang on the Shrek Soundtrack... sorry Rufus....not even close).
I'm a jaded musician, and it still kills me. Anyone with a sense of the human condition and a sense of the genius loves this song.

Find it.... download it.... Own it.

It's Hallelujah / I Know It's Over by Jeff Buckley Here are the words. It's hard to find on Lime wire but I finally got it downloaded.

I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you don't really care for music, do you
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Well 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Baby i've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
But remember when i moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
And as i climb into an empty bed - oh well, enough said
I know it's over still i cling, i don't know where else i can go, over and over...
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea it wants to take me, the knife wants to slit (cut) me
Do you think you can help me?

Sad veiled bride please be happy - handsome groom give her room
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
More than she loves you - and i know it's over - still i cling
I don't know where else i can go - over and over.....
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh mother, i can feel the soil falling over my head

Well, maybe there's a god above
But all i've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah...
