Examining the impact of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in contemporary network culture, this study highlights k.d. lang's YouTube interpretations, which resonate with Nietzsche's concept of the 'spirit of music.' It explores how modern recording dynamics and social media transform the experience of music, focusing on the song's sexual and religious themes. The analysis offers a phenomenological perspective on the objectification of gender, delving into issues of desire, including both homosexual and heterosexual dynamics.
