JT covering Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah for the Haiti Telethon. Does justice to this beautiful song:
And probably the best known version of this song, by the late Jeff Buckley:

New “Big Love” opening credits!
January 12, 2010 — KenI was very surprised by this. I don’t think HBO has ever drastically changed the opening credits to an ongoing show, like they’ve done here. I was expecting the Beach Boys and ice skating, which I’ve always liked, but I see this as a welcome change. The song is “Home” by UK band, Engineers. It’s a nice sort of “loss of control” metaphor that blends well with the show’s main themes of uncertainty. It also serves to ring in the “post-Roman” age. I also find it reminiscent of the “Six Feet Under” intro on account of the closeup of the hands. Here, they come towards each other, while the move apart in 6FU.
The original opening used for seasons one through three:
Joni Mitchell – River
