Would appreciate knowing the artist and song played during the rape kit scene in "A Life Interrupted." The movie's music is credited to James Gelfand, and supposedly the song is "Hallelujah" by Patrick Watson but a cover by Jeff Buckley. My research indicates that is not the case. The song is a sad ballad and the lyrics mention the orchard or the orchard ground, and a wall hung with purple and gold.
I have tried the band web site of Patrick Watson, with no success. Both band and composer are Canadian. I have also directed an inquiry to Lifetime Television Network .
Thanks!

I think the song you're looking for is called 'Corpus Christi Carol' sang by Jeff Buckley :-
He bear her off, he bear her down
He bear her into an orchard ground
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
And in this orchard there was a hold
That was hanged with purple and gold
And in that hold there was a bed
And it was hanged with gold so red
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
And on this bed there lyeth a knight
His wound is bleeding day and night
By his bedside kneeleth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon hath bourne my mate away
By his bedside standeth a stone
Corpus christi written thereon

The song is Corpus Christi Carol but it is not the version by Jeff Buckley. According to a person on imdb.com, the artist is Patrick Watson. I can't find the movie version of the song available anywhere. The lyrics are mostly right, but the following is according to the close caption:
Oo, Ah
He bear him up, he bear him down
He bear him into an orchard ground
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon as borne my mate away
In the orchard there was a hall
That was hanged with purple and gold
In that hall there was a bed
It was hanged with cords so red
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon has borne my mate away
And in the bed there lyeth a knight
His wounds bleeding day and night
By the bedside there nealeth a maid
And she weepeth both night and day
Lu li lu lay lu li lu lay
The falcon has borne my mate away
Oo, Ah, Oo, Oo, Oo
Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo, Oo
