Just got the entire Glee Soundtrack and I’m lovin’ it as ever.
For those of you who are not yet following it, do it! Right now! Next week, the 9th episode will be aired and I just can’t wait.
Anyway, my favorite songs from the album are:
- Don’t Stop Believin’ (Of course… the Pilot was successful because of this.)
- Sweet Caroline (So much better if watched.)
- Can’t Fight This Feeling (The song that discovered Finn. Or the song that allowed Mr. Schue to discover Finn. Something like that.)
- No Air (LSS for so many days and counting…)
- Somebody to Love (Especially the part when it’s becoming ‘Lion King-ish’…
)
Anyway, I like all their songs. Even Emma’s ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ is so cute. Rachel’s ‘Taking Chances’ and ‘Take a Bow’ are also listenable the whole day. Sadly, the mash-ups are not in the album.
But what intrigued me is this song: Defying Gravity. Haven’t heard it from any of the aired episodes just yet, so this might come out soon. I wonder how Kurt and Rachel would end up singing the duet.
Just read from YouTube comments that this is part of the Wicked Musical. Wow! Haven’t watched it but would’ve loved to. There are chances to watch here in Japan, but I suppose the Japanese version is quite a different experience from the English one, especially if I can’t understand most of the parts. Hihihi. So… Broadway, wait for me!
What do you think of Kurt and Rachel’s Defying Gravity? Oh, here’s the lyrics:
Defying Gravity (By Kurt and Rachel of Glee)
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down!
I’m through accepting limits
’cause someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But ’til I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down
I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down
Bring me down
Ooooh…
