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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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."

ha! is the "heaven" part throwing you off?

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.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

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

ayup, it sure is. I'm not sure how I misread that. Did my brain go from, "Papa Can You Hear Me?" to "Papa Don't Preach" to "Like a Prayer"? Perhaps I need a little lie down. (needless to say the episode hasn't aired yet out here)
