La Miscelánea

經過了回歸的"Audition"跟布蘭妮特集 在收視率上打了一場大勝仗
而第三集"Grilled Cheesus"雖是收視最低的一集 沒有精彩的舞蹈或熱門的流行曲
劇情上卻回到了Glee最初給我的感動

這集的主線是Kurt父子關係和宗教
先是Finn因為向吐司上的耶穌臉禱告後得到靈驗 建議Glee club本週要用音樂向耶穌致敬
但Kurt對於對同性戀不友善的基督教很不以為然
之後Kurt爸爸病倒 Glee成員們試著為他禱告 也被Kurt拒絕 大家便開始思考信仰的議題...

很喜歡Mercedes對Kurt說的話:
"I know you don’t believe in God. You don’t believe in the power of prayer, and that’s okay.
To each his own. But you’ve got to believe in something.
Something more than you can touch, taste or see.
Cause life’s too hard to go at it alone, without something to hold on to, and without something that’s sacred."

雖然整集的歌曲都很不錯 不管是Kurt對爸爸唱的I Want to Hold Your Hand 或Rachel大展歌喉的Papa Can You Hear Me 
但還是片尾的這首最能作為這個主題的總結
既不是要去讚美宣揚上帝 也不是叫人放棄信仰 還是提出問題讓我們思考

「如果上帝只是我們這些眾人的其中之一?」



If God had a name, what would it be 
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in Rome
