Shake it out ( May 6, 2012)

Glee released their brand new cover single- Shake it out on the episode Choke. IN this episode, the prodigy talent Rachel choked on the song she  "knew backwards and forewords"- Don't Rain on my parade. She failed and didn't get into NYADA, or dream school. THe other aspect that glee focused on was domestic violence. Coach Beaste in this episode was suffering from domestic violence from her husband. SHe therefore showed up at school one day with a huge bruise across the school. Santana, Tina, and the others girls made fun of the coach and indirectly revealed their lack of knowledge on domestic violence. They were therefore obliged to sing a song about " no one can lay a hand on me". They finally settled with the song-Shake it out. I found it a beautiful song. It is one of those few songs we have these days where they lyrics are actually quite beautiful. Every demon wants his pound of flesh, but I''d like to keep somethings to my self. It's always darkest before the dawn. And I've been a fool and I've been blind, I can never leave the past behind. I can see no way I'm always dragging that horse around...( How beautiful) Shake it out shake it out! It is so beautiful! MY favorite line is: It's hard to dance with a devil on your back. That is SOOO beautiful. From this song, I can see how songs are the aftermath of ballads. This is such a beautiful song with meaningful, poetic lyrics and grate melody.
