In this sneak preview from next week's prom-themed episode of Glee, Lea Michele's character Rachel Berry reunites with Jonathan Groff's Jesse St. James to sing Adele's hit "Rolling in the Deep." The Glee version actually comes a lot closer to John Legend's a cappella arrangement, down to the breakdown and choir interludes.

“The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie”

The Joy Formidable | 2011

The opener off the Welsh group’s The Big Roar album was an epic one, but the band was worried that track had polarized fans. “The first song is eight minutes long,” Rhydian Dafydd, the Joy Formidable bassist, said. “If you did that in the Seventies people would be, ‘Whatever.’ You do it now, people think, ‘Holy s---!’ Some people think it’s the f---ing greatest track on the entire album, and some people think it’s f---ing boring. It’s that element of needing to challenge people.” The band concluded through the song’s lyrics that love was the “everchanging spectrum of a lie.”
