Glee Cast - Shake It Out Lyrics






[Santana:]
Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play

[Tina:]
Every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn

[Mercedes:]
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way

[Tina and Mercedes:]
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound

[Mercedes:]
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

[Santana:]
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn

[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

[Tina and Mercedes:]
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before

[Santana:]
The dawn

[Tina and Mercedes:]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa

[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

[Santana:]
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back

[Mercedes:]
And given half the chance would I take any of it back

[Tina:]
It's a fine romance but it's left me so undone

[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
It's always darkest before the dawn

[Tina, Santana, Mercedes:]
Ooh hoo oooh hoo...

[Santana:]
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't

[Tina and Santana:]
So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my rope

[Santana:]
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope

[Tina, Santana, and Mercedes:]
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat, cause

[Mercedes:]
Looking for heaven,

[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
Found the devil in me
Looking for heaven,

[Mercedes:]
Found the devil in me
But what the hell

[Tina, Mercedes, and Santana:]
I'm gonna let it happen to me

[Tina and Santana: (With Mercedes belting):]
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh whoa
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa

    This song is a hard one for me not to listen to it saving me right now

  5. c.... f....

    I would love to talk with the producer of Glee and ask if he can do a sequel the Glee 2 the sequel
    I’ve got some ideas to

  6. R.... C....

    I'm planning to sing this for open mic for my vocals class so wish me luck!

  7. l.... ....

    The best cover they did hands down

  8. C.... L....

    Never understood why Britney and Sugar just sat there not singing

  9. A.... P....

    No disrespect at ALL to Florence, but I love this version so much more than the original.

  10. M.... ....

    Tina is so underapprreciated, she has a really good voice! (Also, I love Jenna 😄)

  11. I.... M....

    Crying so hard

  12. L.... S....

    Favorite part’s “I can see no way” whenever they sang that

  13. M.... E....

    naya’s voice makes me pregnant

  14. m.... c....

    season 3 had the best songs

  15. I.... t....

    This performance was so moving and beautiful. It was really sweet for the Glee girls to sing this to Coach Beiste.

  16. T.... M....

    shake it off more like it...

  17. R.... R....

    I'm so sad they didn't let Naya, Amber and Jenna sing a song together again

  18. J.... K....

    I know what this song it’s all about and just all those people who got bullied in the past or now just listen to this song the original or this cover this song will help

  19. G.... s....

    A melhor versão ❤

  20. V.... L....

    Perfectttttttt😍

  21. A.... T....

    I believe that thing song is one of the best in all of glee because of the sincerity and the fact that it sounds the least auto tuned. It sounds like their actual voices and I love that

  22. S.... L....

    I love this cover ♥♥️♥♥️♥♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

  23. L.... H....

    I love the harmony and this song in general. I'm my opinion, I think it's better than the original.

  24. M.... D....

    I don’t like this🥺😭‼️🤮🤦🏽‍♀️🤞🏽🤞🏽💯🤮🤑🤑🤑🤘🏽👊🏽

  25. L.... O....

    K a lot of people are arguing about this so:
    I'm doing this song in a choir, and in the sheet music it says that the lyrics are, "I like to keep my issues strong" Keeping your issues "strong" referrers to not letting people get the best of you, and that you should stay above and you should be able to change you, not others.
    [also, Google it...]

  26. y.... J....

    2019 anyone??

  27. A.... B....

    Music for suicide and the devil ! 😨

  28. K.... s....

    I love this song it helps me when I want to hurt my self

  29. S.... J....

    One of the best covers I've ever heard

  30. A.... M....

    2019 💓

  31. C.... W....

    *in my opinion this version is way better than the original.*

  32. B.... F....

    its always darkest before the dawn

  33. Q.... P....

    Charlie Day would love this song from always sunny in philly. It talks about ghouls!

  34. D.... S....

    2018 feelings

  35. T.... L....

    So beautiful, I simply love this so much. I just wish Heather/Brittney could’ve had a couple lines in it but otherwise it was incredible

  36. L.... ....

    i hear some camila cabello hahaha

  37. K.... G....

    It's really ridiculous how they had Scooter or Cooter whatever his bucket, fought over by Coach Beist and Sue, then Coach B won his heart and he was all romantic and sweet, they married, and [SPOILER ALERT] Cooter becomes someone we can't like or trust, thus provoking this song. And when that happens, suddenly Coach Beist is super vulnerable and afraid. Unlike all the rest of her storyline to that point. And then in Season 7 what happens. It's just a massive plot change and sometimes I wish they would have left it alone so people could be happy.

  38. *.... ....

    この曲に何回救われたか……
    本当にこの曲に巡り合わせてくれたgleeに感謝しかない。

  39. R.... a....

    I ran out of tissues damn girls. Thanks girls

  40. M.... D....

    Brasil 2018?

  41. L.... ....

    soy la única que prefiere esta versión antes que la de Amaia?

    L.... ....

    Lara son versiones muy distintas y las canciones a más de una voz suelen ser más bonitas
    Pero tanto las voces de naya Ámber y Amaia son preciosas e insuperables

  42. L.... S....

    I love this

  43. M.... R....

    I love this song

  44. k.... ....

    Tina wad criminally underused in this show. She has such a beautiful, sweet, clear voice.

    k.... ....

    I thought the same thing. When they had her on lead for True Colours I was so happy because I love Tina as a character and they didn't let her shine enough because she has an amazing voice

  45. J.... K....

    Naya Rivera has a soulful, sultry and appeasing voice.

  46. G.... M....

    Amaia💙

    G.... M....

    esta versión es mejor

    G.... M....

    Amaia de españa

  47. A.... B....

    Still love glee in 2018

    A.... B....

    Jan 4 2018 3:30pm

  48. d.... s....

    Funny How its now that naya gives the beating..

  49. B.... G....

    Ojalá Amaia tenga esta versión, je

    B.... G....

    Be GC Por desgracia no pero lo bordo igulamente

  50. n.... ....

    Can yall believe that this was the closes thing to a Tina/Santana duet and they had SIX SEASONS???? I'm still bitter.

  51. �.... �....

    I've been crying all day to that song three years ago... It has been with me in a very tough moment.

  52. k.... ....

    Naya’s voice 👌🏻

  53. �.... B....

    2017 and this perfect cover still in my heart

  54. R.... T....

    who still hearing this in 2017 and is like dam this is still amazing

  55. G.... ....

    Santana😍😍😍😍

  56. o.... ....

    No one can sing like Florence.

  57. B.... B....

    No, but listen to amber's riff at 3:24 my god

  58. A.... C....

    Santana's voice is amazing!!!!

  59. E.... T....

    I hate pop, but I'm gonna help out someone special by playing this on guitar for a performance. I somewhat like it and its worth it

  60. C.... G....

    SANTANA'S VOICE

  61. H.... ....

    Replay, replay, replay, this version is so good!

  62. D.... W....

    the feels 😢

  63. I.... P....

    IM EXTREMELY disappointed that Brittany or Sugar didn't sing, I mean, Sugar I understand since her voice es pretty bad, but Brittany's voice is awesome, I think it would've gone really well with the song

  64. R.... A....

    In my humble opinion Amber and Naya had the best voices in the cast and the fact that they did just a few performances like this per season really pisses me off... but whatever

  65. N.... A....

    One of the Best Performances on Glee... Love their voices and the song fits perfectly with the storyline 💙💙

  66. T.... n....

    Glee has some amazing messages ❤️

  67. B.... ....

    Catchy song :P

  68. A.... M....

    We're doing this song as our ballad in our show choir set!! It's sounds so amazing!!

    A.... M....

    Abigail Morris lucky!!! I hope you guys do great!!

  69. M.... J....

    I LOVE this So muchhhh

  70. m.... ....

    like it

  71. N.... ....

    Mercedes said "fucking for heaven"

    N.... ....

    Noname she says looking for heaven

  72. A.... I....

    Ah, the days when Tina didn't act so much like a whinny little girl.

  73. M.... K....

    Does anybody know what episode this is?

    M.... K....

    It's Episode 18 from season 3, it's called choke (:

  74. a.... ....

    The fandom has to stop fighting. I love Santana/Naya, Tina/Jenna, Mercedes/Amber, Brittany/Heather, and Sugar/Vanessa. But Rachel/Lea has an amazing voice too. I happen to think that everyone in the glee cast is so talented. Although they are different in many ways, they are still similar. Their voices are amazing on their own, and together. Anyone who hates on Lea, hates on everyone in the cast, because they are a family. And if any of you are real Gleeks, then you guys wouldn't be hating on one person. Because when we hate on one of them we hate on all of them. For shame.

  75. A.... V....

    their voices never fail to give me chills

  76. A.... W....

    Who agrees that Rachel and Quin have the worst lives in Glee?

    A.... W....

    Amy Wasson they have pretty great lives.

    A.... W....

    Well considering that Sam had to strip to make money and keep his family afloat.. I don't agree xD

  77. K.... T....

    btw
    this song is awesome, i love santana's and amber's voice

  78. K.... T....

    "Rachel sucks", "Santana's the best singer" "Santana is better than Rachel", "Rachel's boring and irritating"

    Do you know who is boring and irritating? You.
    You always say the same things and you keep throwing shit over Rachel / Lea.
    Santana and Mercedes have wonderful voices, but also Rachel.
    They have totally different voices that can't be compared, but I think you are immensely stupid to be able to understand this, so you continue to offend the character of Rachel.
    I think the character of Rachel is really significant and hard to understand, often misunderstood. That's all, basically for you Rachel is just that girl too ambitious, selfish, irritating, with delusions of grandeur and fragile.
    you don't think that she's also the girl who has not performed to make way for mercedes, you don't even think about what Rachel has done for become a star, you don't think about how much Rachel cares of his friends, do not think about how much Rachel has always been helpful with her friends and has tried to be nice despite having made many mistakes, you have never thought about how many times she got up after a fall while having easy tear.
    4 mistakes and people will always remember and will use them against you, 100 good deeds and no one will remember or care about you .;)

    that's all, sorry for my english but i'm italian:*

    K.... T....

    Butthurt fandom more like it. Kitty makes a good point.

    K.... T....

    Santana's a better singer and character.

    K.... T....

    Kitty T. Gallavich Rachel was the most selfish character on the whole show, she demand that she will get all the solos even tho her voice wasn't the best one in the whole cast, when she seen someone else even getting a little shine she would get jealous and try to out do them.Even the girl who play her (Lea Michael) truth be told even the people she worked with on the show says the same damn thing in real life she's just selfish,self center, and just down right annoying TBH with u

    K.... T....

    Rachel is bad girl no Santana

  79. M.... w....

    omfg i just can't stop listening this fucking song. I open my cmptr and when i realize i'm already listening this

  80. T.... A....

    I try to found this music on Spotify but I cant.. can somebody help me?

    T.... A....

    I did not find in spotify

    T.... A....

    Thiago Aguiar não tá disponível no brasil :-/ assim como a maioria das músicas da terceira temporada

    T.... A....

    Por que nao tá disponível as músicas da terceira temporada?

    T.... A....

    Nem todas as músicas da terceira temporada entraram nos álbuns do Glee, e dessas que só saíram como single só dá pra achar no iTunes mesmo.

    T.... A....

    glee s song are not avaible in every country 😕

  81. C.... R....

    Was waiting to be dissapointed, but it sounds actually good

  82. f.... ....

    A melhor é Santana.

  83. M.... L....

  91. K.... C....

    That moment when it has 666 dislikes. O-O

  92. S.... I....

    Too fast

  93. E.... 1....

    Only here because I absolutely love this song. Don't know what the fuck Glee is though.

    E.... 1....

    +EveD 123 they also covered Dog Days Are Over. they're both two of my favorite covers. Glee was a tv show where they covered hundreds of songs.

    E.... 1....

    Glee is a show based off a club in highschool called Glee club where you perform songs.

    E.... 1....

    +Trinity Corpuz its called new directions tho

  94. C.... ....

    they should've become a trio after glee. that would've been epic

    C.... ....

    I think Santana and Mercedes went on to sing together

    C.... ....

    +maddy bolton nah they sang together in the show. I think most of the people split up after and don't talk much. I'm sure they are close friends still though

  95. A.... F....

    Shannon 😥

  96. C.... B....

    This was one of the best songs all the girls sang together. It's beautiful

    C.... B....

    Christian Bland I love it but it was just Santana, Mercedes and Tina not all the girls

    C.... B....

    Congrats on 1k likes

  97. n.... ....

    forever obsessed with this

  98. g.... ....

    The original is an anthem. Don't know what this is.

    g.... ....

    it's called a cover lol. they're often not meant to sound exactly like the original, believe it or not

  99. E.... F....

    Nowhere near as powerful and emotional as the original. Just doesn't sound right to sing this song acoustic like this.

  100. C.... k....

    I cant get over Santana's voice though <3

    C.... k....

    Honestly😍
