It was such a surprise when I saw it. Great job Glee. The show is so good when it challenges your expectaions.

(FYI: If you don’t watch the show. Chris’s character sings the song in response to his dad being hospitalized. He’s being raised by his dad.)

The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A thousand kisses deep.

Leonard Cohen
