This week's episode of Glee is called "The Break-Up" and in it, the cast takes on a host of split-up songs. One is the No Doubt hit "Don't Speak," and the retooled track gets a clean makeover with pristine vocals, booming snares and carefully placed violin strokes. Gwen Stefani's unhinged yet defiant strength is reshaped into meticulously enunciated harmonies by Rachel, Finn, Blaine and Kurt, but the cast still gives the track that crucial tinge of heartbreak.

Catch "The Break-Up" on Glee this Thursday on FOX.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
