Music Lovin' #3 - Don't Stop Believin' (Journey cover) - Glee
3:29 PM
An absolute old favourite of mine. If you didn't know, I was a glee fanatic (also known as a gleek). Why was and not am? Well, I actually stopped watching glee regularly since halfway through season 3, right after their Christmas episode and it was on their mid season break. I'm not sure what made me stop, even though I love Mark Salling (also Puck on the show) and Lea Michele (Rachel) and I'm a die hard Puckleberry shipper (I ship Puck and Rachel together on the show), still am and I'm still reading fanfics to keep the fan in me alive. And even though I'm not a Finchel shipper, Cory Monteith's death was still a devastating news to me.
As a gleek, I've gotten used to seeing Cory on the show and for a show that I've loved so much (I actually bought almost every album for the first 3 seasons) you get emotionally attached to it. So for season 5, I've watched the tribute episode and of course the 100th episode, which was a 2 parter, since EVERYONE was back and I've missed them on the screen so much. It reminded me of the times where I was so in love with the show and all the characters on it. It was of course a sore spot since Finn no longer was on the screen but it was a reunion indeed. I think from season 3 onwards, the storyline was no longer as good as it was before, introducing new characters that I don't feel for made matters worse. I'm not saying the new cast is untalented. They are. They're amazing singers, dancers and actors. But I fell in the love with the characters in show since season 1, with unfamiliar faces and a story line I can no longer relate to (and honestly kinda bored me) I'm not as excited to see a new episode anymore. I still love the music though, and even though I don't watch it frequently, I would listen to songs they covered.
So back to the song, Don't Stop Believin' was the song they covered at the end of their pilot in season 1. Even though up till now they have 4 covers of it, they're all a little different, I love every single one of them. It brings tears to my eyes because it was a song filled with happiness, sadness, and a song that brought all these characters together. This is the newest cover they made for the 100th episode, and it showcases many more voices. It's just kinda bittersweet to me, and I've been listening to it almost everyday since. A pretty lengthy post for Music Lovin' but gleek or not, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
