Saw this feature on another blog I frequent (Kemp ‘borrowing’ from a blog for his own blog? I am shocked. Shocked to find gambling in this establishment!)
Kemp’s mental iPod song of the day
This is a song that I listened to on my iPod while driving into work this morning.
‘Hallelujah’ performed by Jeff Buckley from The West Wing soundtrack
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...
Hallelujah...
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...
Hallelujah...
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...
Hallelujah...
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
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 is a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelujah...

Sometimes I wish Martin Shhen was the real President.
Well, I guess not Mertin Sheen, but Jed.
I hear ya Sarah... I hear ya.
I wish that the characters of the West Wing were the real administration.
Leo doesn't seem the type to go around shooting people. (RIP)
BTW, so many powerful images in such a great show, and I think of the scene(s) made more powerful by the inclusion of this tune over the scene(s). Brings a shiver and a pause just thinking about it.
