Glee - Roots Before Branches (Lyrics)

[@rodrigodutra4418]

This episode was actually more tearful than the Series Finale.

[@ximenalopez3425]

Rodrigo Dutra You are sooooooo right

[@amayatarver3770]

Right that was the best glee out of the whole show

[@lalugube]

This episode and The Quarterback :'(

[@aunicacoen1924]

😥😭😭

[@huntermoss9132]

Ximena López yessss . i was bawling once Finn said will you surrender with me .

[@CosmicM00N]

The part that got to me was when she was on the train and Finn was waving to her, then the train starts to leave the station and he runs along beside it. The expression on his face... You can tell that it wasn't only Finn loving Rachel, it was Cory loving Lea. Amazing episode, amazing performance.

[@heily6142]

🙌🙌🙌💖💖💖

[@siobhanpinto7566]

well said ;)

[@bjuble]

Oh you said that so nice:')

[@kayla5924]

That was the part that got me too :(

[@nicolerendler4481]

+Charlotte (MOVED ACCOUNTS) awww tearing up bc of this comment

[@RyannBarton]

''There's always a Seed before there's a Rose, the more that it rains, the more I will grow'' Those lyrics are SOOO Inspiring, this song is incredible!

[@katieannemarieklaisner2868]

I love that part too

[@BABYASHLEY87]

Thats is my fav lyric

[@deleonaaron9759]

[@MrSasyB]

I hate them. Cause it brings this notion that bad things will build up character and make you stronger. And while yes that does happen, they also build up trauma and shitty behavioral patterns. I'm done with romanticizing disgrace and misfortune.

[@demeko96]

I cried so much in this episode... when they are in the car and she thinks he's driving her to the wedding but he's driving to the train station... and the car stops and he tells her what he's doing and she thinks he doesn't want to marry her anymore but then he tells her he's setting her free because this is how he loves her... OMG it was wonderfully terrible ♥

[@jessicamankowski10]

I cried at the part so many times

[@kaylahrae.]

I cried so hard 😭😂 hahaha

[@chantelcairns9899]

they did that because Cory started his drugs again amd that is how he didi

[@demeko96]

Chantel Cairns I didn't get your last part x)

[@kaylahrae.]

demeko96 She is saying that's how he "died"

[@arseniotegari6541]

Lea's voice and technique is out of this world. No wonder she idolized Barbra Streisand in the series, due to both of their similarities.

[@katieannemarieklaisner2868]

Lea Michele is my idol:)

[@justinn9342]

yesss

[@Arannetperez]

When I first listened to this song, I was only 13. Today, I am 17 and now I fully understand why Finn made the choice that he made. He wanted Rachel to have a better future. Like the song says "gotta have roots before branches" you can't skip a big step in your life to follow another.

[@nikkiekeen-cross2067]

When I watched this episode for the first time when it aired, it made me cry. Now it makes me upset. Upset because now I am older I understand it more. Upset because I miss the old Glee. Upset to hear and see the original members growing up and getting on with their own lives...engagements, babies, divorces and deaths.

[@May04bwu]

growing up... they were already pretty old for their 17/18 yrs old characters then. Haha sounds funny.

[@SmileGlata]

That was beautiful!

[@IceIncursio]

Woah this comment hurts more now

[@kaytlincarter6948]

Who else thinks glee versions are almost always better than the original

[@dantedome]

I think it is.. Better... But I think I will try something more in it Search Saksham Kashyap I wish for you and you'll know it

[@samanthalopez457]

I think the glee versions are better than the originals by far Still watching Glee and Listen to there music in 2021

[@SmileGlata]

Τhis episode was prophetic.Finn let Rachel go and some months later Cory let Lea go...

[@camrynlewis9929]

Γαλάτεια Καλύβα what do u mean Cory let Lea go?

[@LivingAWorldOfGlee]

Camryn Lewis I think they mean because Cory died :(

[@camrynlewis9929]

LivingAWorldOfGlee Oh yeah, I knew that

[@jontvg7596]

2016 and this song is still making me cry like a baby

[@mattiaprealta3458]

2020

[@crystalgoddess9240]

2022 and I'm sobbing

[@YuukoOshima]

My choir does this every year as the final song for the seniors so when they come back a year or two later they can get up on stage with fellow choir kids this song never fails to make us all cry when we see our seniors carrying the candles in the graduation caps and gowns

[@samanthalopez457]

This episode made me cry so much Who else loves and still watches Glee in 2021

[@joannanidey227]

I love this song but I still cry watching it in the episode. Cory/finn was my favorite character on glee and all allways will be. I know he is resting in peace. But his spirit lives in everyone who new him and all us gleeks. So at least his spirit lives on forever. RIP CORY MONTEITH.

[@swagking8008]

I was taking a test and my teacher said " you have quarts before gallons." and I was just there like 'ROOOOOTS BEFOOORE BRANCHEEEES!!!!'

[@りきまる-f4p]

I think this scence is gree's peak ! I'm crying allways see this scence. finn & rachel …two people love forever.

[@ximenalopez3425]

And we never got to see a wedding of Finn&Rachel :(

[@karenjohnson5711]

The most heartbreaking part

[@benalortman5525]

[@allicambridge2335]

[@aly8950]

i love this song and Cory's voice echoing leas sounds so good

[@princessamaya46]

when Finn asked Rachel to surrender before he took out her suitcase out of his truck. I just started to cry.

[@sarinamontes1214]

Love that episode it is favorite part out of the whole episode.

[@jaelynchurko2600]

Cory Monteith's voice is beautiful i love you lea and cory i miss you Cory everyone does i still cry about it.

[@tripletsquinones7532]

Cassidy Banks so we are still bet friends are

[@bellaconnell2881]

it’s June of 2019.. and this song still makes me cry just like it did years ago.

[@tashanet6497]

I still cry watching this episode. And more so now that Cory has passed, this song is more touching. And though Mark did what he did he had some heavy demons that none of us can judge as we not know the full story but another human is dead and it’s just sad. This life is just sad

[@jellyrcw12]

Glee used to be my whole life. I had a Glee themed birthday party one year lol. Rachel was my inspiration and I'm so thankful for everything Glee helped me find. Roots Before Branches all the way

[@kaifanning6345]

Raise your hand if you are still listening or watching in 2019 !!

[@saracoutinho3398]

🙋

[@chloespearance7933]

2020!!

[@taylerellis6995]

Ugh when I watched this episode it was 1 am and I was crying my eyes out. Lea is such an amazing actress and the most believable cryer I've ever seen. I could actually feel her pain

[@fighterxoxox4713]

Lea's voice is perfect! Stay strong Lea - R.I.P.Cory Monteith x

[@sweetbubblez736]

Remember seeing this episode and crying ... so emotional and beautiful how Finn decided that he would rather her go to college and follow her dreams

[@Aceiza94]

1am, 22 years old and im sobbing.

[@jasminewilson6834]

TraceEliza me except the 22 years old part

[@obohemma1983]

This song was really beautiful finn and Rachel were truly amazing

[@Dermatillomaniac]

How could I forget about this song?! LOVE IT! Thank you for the HQ version!

[@mackenziespeck8479]

I still can't believe that Cory is dead I still cry a little bit at night because of him and it's 2017 it's been almost 4 years since he died and I still don't understand why, he had so much and then it was gone. I love u Cory #RIPCory

[@juliebonvarlet7187]

I can't explain what I feel because of this song..She have a power inside me..

[@cheyennehamilton7570]

we're singing this in choir. sounds amazing so far 😍

[@Alyssa-cv1bd]

It breaks me how underrated this song truly is ... one of my personal fav songs ever created & I never heard anyone sing it as lea did ..

[@paigelewis153]

Listening to this is soooo painful.... Fly High Frankenteen

[@noeminegrete7351]

I was so emotional when I saw that episode it was the best of all and I love that song

[@markcarroll7219]

Glee is amazing

[@stephcurrythegreat]

This episode ❤️. When they were all there to say goodbye to Rachel before she took off. No matter how much misunderstanding they had, they was there and said their goodbyes and goodlucks. This scene is gold.

[@YourFriendlyOnlineStranger]

I listened to this all the time when I was leaving the school I've been at for three years, so I took a double-hit of feels. Did I mention I've had these three teachers all three years that I grew to be like family to? >.

[@randomk-poplover9850]

Bri Arcanum try leaving your school of nine years

[@Alyssa-cv1bd]

If only she knew what this song really means ... man it’s so powerful and her voice just killed it much more than the original . Leas voice is just unbelievable . I love this song so much , it being one of my favs & one of my fav covers of Rachel berry on glee.

[@mink9186]

3:30 Cory's accompaniment at "branches" hits me in my heart for some reason

[@straykidswoo4976]

This song hits more when you graduated right now and can really feel the emotion:(

[@courtneymilner5956]

lmao i was sobbing so bad during this you dont even know

[@sashabari1399]

Courtney Milner same

[@clarissabailey718]

Only certain episodes of the series cause me to ball like a baby; the one when Quinn gets in her accident, this one, when we say goodbye to Finn. 😭🥺

[@sailor_brat]

I'm currently re watching Glee and I just got to this episode and this part gets me every time ;___________; seriously one of the most emotional moments in the entire show, I always cry aaaaa

[@lms1479]

During this Episode I cried all the time. It made me so sad bc I knew after this Episode everything will be different. The half of the New Directions leaves to go to their Colleges and there will be new members and it won't ever be the same again D':

[@dutchhavefaithderlinde5307]

2:34 - 3:01 Okay Imagine Cory listening/seeing Lea singing this part on the studio and looking at her with a soft smile (that one that Finn gave to Rachel almost every time), proud of her (of course she wouldn't notice that because she would focus on the lyrics of the song and everything)

[@maggieshields9989]

I adore this song x when it shows Cory sending Lea in her way to fulfil her dreams it reminds me of when my dad passed away when I was 7 and the fact he told me that when I get older I was to follow my dreams - this is one of those moments she you have flashbacks about lost loved ones - but I also remember him saying that he is always in my heart no matter what x I feel a deep connection to this song now x

[@carmellagarcia5803]

I'm seeing this video right now and I have so much tears coming down my face. I saw this different video where Finn dies and where they buried him, and it just made me cry so much like full real I'm like being serious

[@katieannemarieklaisner2868]

I only cry when Finn chases after the train.it gets me every time.

[@Carleyyy]

This makes me cry every time

[@EfrainGarcia-of9nk]

I've seen this episode so many times and I still cry.

[@IVERTR]

That song is so amazing!

[@kaydaniels113]

I cry everytime I hear this song. But it's a true song

[@bayleighrolens218]

It’s 2019 and I’m still listening too this song and watching glee❤️❤️

[@susuki1457]

Me to

[@HarrrrrrryStylesss]

When he ran beside the train during this scene it broke me because he truly wanted too marry her but he made the brave decision too let her reach for the stars without him

[@margaretdao5945]

cried so hard when I first saw the episode

[@noyaaaaa_]

Margaret Dao 😩

[@chloesima2298]

I sang this at my final choir concert and graduation for the class of 2019 it was very emotional

[@caitlynowens1224]

i love this song so inspirational i love the video in glee i cry all the time when i hear it

[@jemmarosebuenaflor9551]

This episode whoa! Made me cry

[@cassandradoe4239]

I used to ALWAYS listen to this song wif one of my beastie/sister before I moved away. Wen I heard this song again it brings tears down my eyes of her

[@anastasiatilghman7736]

No matter how many times I watch this episode I always end up crying by the end.

[@emilygrace8065]

This song just makes me think of Cory. I wish I was still here😓

[@lalugube]

IS IMPOSSIBLE not mourn in this episode :'(

[@dayshabutler1957]

It is. I'm watching the show now, and I'm almost finished with season 5 now. This is the first time I'm watching it, so I already knew about Finn/Cory's death before I watched this episode, and I bawled during this scene. It's so sad seeing all the memorials throughout the show after his death, but I'm glad they honored him. But I am happy Rachel eventually got a happy ending and so did Lea.

[@atith_young97]

Love this song and very emotional too

[@jamyamckinnon4110]

I liked the part where They showed the whole glee club on the steps ,then when She looked out the window on the train . From the first Season it started out as Nobody liking Rachael. Now They Love and adore her 😍😍😚💯and Hate to see her go😥😥 But kno She needs to follow her dreams like She planned to do Since 2009 in Season 1 episode 1😋😋🙈💨.Rachel Is What started the glee club she Was the heart. And I can't believe glee is coming to An end. The last episode Ever is coming on next Friday. I Just can believe I Remember when I Didn't Even know What this show Was till I saw it in mg chorus class then I liked and started from Season one and watched all the episodes I Was like. 😄😄😁 I Love this showwww. It show the real in people. Who their Really are and Not afraid to show it No matter how many bullies in the world more wish we had glee club at out school. I wish my school could be like this. My dream was to meet all the Season 1 through 3 cast. Don't get me wrong it Still is ( rip coryyy. 😔😔) But I also wish to be like glee. A Family. 😊😊😍😍😍😍😍

[@KeltonElliot]

Believe me, I like glee and it's picked up again since season 4 and I like the new seasons, but I stopped loving it after season 3, and the season finale would've been such a perfect ending to the show with this song, they honestly should've just left it on this episode.

[@RpAlEb]

You're so right!!! I think the same...

[@beonincalmen2668]

Aww!.i love this song!.i love Lea's voice too.

[@KevinBiedrzycki1]

Every time I listen to this song,it brings me back to my senior year. I miss high school so much. The episode this song was sung in was when the class of 2012 just graduated. After that it was my turn. My turn to take roots before branches. I'm still at the roots of my life at this point,but I know once I grow my branches it'll have me know that I've made it to my destined goal to become a performer/actor on broadway. Doing what I love and being satisfied

[@Cinnabon29]

so complicated feeling in this song... much to feel, though I'm still here.

[@erynelo1926]

[@patblack781]

The first time I've seen this episode and heard this song I cried because I didn't know that there was another season and was heartbroken that this should be the end and that there was no happy ending for Finn and Rachel... Now I'm crying because I know they were meant to be together, but their happy ending can never happen

[@kathgarcia5784]

This songs always makes me cry because it's all i'm feeling right now, so lost, with so much fear of not being able to reach my dreams because i dont know how to start and with some problems that makes it more difficult for me to start. I need to feel i can and will do it

[@sophIYAching]

this makes me tear up everytime... is it just me?

[@lorenzaranieri5135]
