Why this vid kicks ass: Yes, there are about a zillion versions of "Hallelujah" out there and countless videos using those versions. So what makes this one different? (Hint: it's not just that the version is only 2:57 long.)
If you haven't heard this cover of the song before, it's ... well, haunting, is one way to describe it. It's an a capella version and somehow that fits perfectly here. It's intense and breathy and you can practically feel the ache in Dean's heart through the song. The video does a beautiful job tracing Dean's journey back from hell and his struggles to find out who he is now, where he fits in the world after what he's been through, and how to make sense of how the world has changed in his absence. This is a Dean caught between Heaven and Hell - between Castiel and Ruby, between the Sam he knows and the Sam who hides things from him. This is a Dean who wants--desperately--but doesn't seem to know exactly what he's searching for.
It's a striking piece of work with a really effective song choice. Don't pass it by just because the song's been over-used. It's well worth three minutes of your time.
