Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not the whole thing, but it was definitely quoting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The song starts with "Oh God-our heavenly Father. Oh, God-and my father Who is also in heaven. May the light of this Flickering candle Illuminate the night the way Your spirit illuminates my soul."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I thought it started, "life is a mystery..." I can't find a music video version that starts with "Oh heavenly father"- maybe on the album?

Oh God-our heavenly Father. Oh, God-and my father Who is also in heaven.

OK, maybe it was just that part that struck me. I was so thrown off! Do Jews say "Our heavenly Father"?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I can't think of that exact phrasing in English too often, but "our Father" is in a lot of prayers, and "tate in himmel," which means "father in heaven," is used in Yiddish.

Notice that I am trying really hard not to focus on the enormous pile of crap the rest of this show (Sue MF Sylvester aside) is trying to shovel at me.

I actually think it's because I hear my Southern Baptist grandfather's voice, not even any of the other Christians I hang out with! Most folks I know don't say Father...

Hil, thanks for that. I was kind of stuck on that too.

Isn't that Madonna's "Like a Prayer"?
