Columbia Records became Glee's official music partner that spring, and the show continued churning out hit singles when it returned in September for the full run of its first season. Of course, it didn't hurt that many of the actors had already cut their teeth on Broadway, including Lea Michele (the star of Spring Awakening) and Matthew Morrison (the original Link Larkin in Hairspray). Such experience helped boost the musical performances on the show, and Columbia began gathering some of Glee's best moments for a series of albums, beginning with Glee: The Music, Vol. 1 in November 2009. That album cracked the Top Five during its first week of release, paving the way for the arrival of Vol. 2 in December. Both records went gold; by the following year, Vol. 1 had climbed up to platinum status.
Glee took a quick break at the end of 2009, with more episodes planned for the spring. The show returned in April 2010, its arrival punctuated by the release of a new soundtrack, The Power of Madonna. Featuring seven songs originally recorded by the Material Girl, the EP also introduced the newest member of Glee's cast, Jonathan Groff, who had previously performed alongside Lea Michele in Spring Awakening. It debuted at number one -- the first of Glee's releases to do so -- and was followed two weeks later by another album, Showstoppers, which also topped the charts. The show wrapped up its first season that summer, but not before releasing one final EP, Journey to Regionals, which marked the final appearance for Groff.
Several months later, Glee returned with a new season and a new round of releases, including a Halloween-themed EP (The Rocky Horror Glee Show), a holiday record (The Christmas Album), and the full-length Vol. 4. Along with newcomer Chord Overstreet, the albums also featured Darren Criss, who joined the show mid-season and helped Glee earn another Top Ten hit with "Teenage Dream," as well as guest star Gwyneth Paltrow. By Thanksgiving, the cast had racked up more than 90 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the Beatles' previous record for the most hit songs by a non-solo act. Glee took home three Golden Globes in early 2011 and began turning over a new leaf with the spring release of Vol. 5, which featured the show's first pair of original songs (including the Top Ten hit "Loser Like Me"). More changes arrived with the release of The Warblers, a short album that focused exclusively on Darren Criss and his all-male choir at the fictional Dalton Academy.
Glee's second season wrapped up in May 2011, one day after Vol. 6's release. A spinoff TV show, The Glee Project, immediately hit the air, followed two months later by the franchise's first movie, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. The film documented the North American half of Glee's 2011 tour, combining behind-the-scenes footage with live performances. Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album, Vol. 2 was released that November, a couple of months after the show's third season premiered. Just a few weeks later, Vol. 7 of Glee: The Music arrived, featuring music from the first part of the third season. Mid-2012 saw the release of Glee: The Music - The Graduation Album, which commemorated the senior year of many of the show's favorite characters. The cast rounded out the year by releasing the first set of songs from the show's fourth season and a third volume of Christmas music. The July 2013 death of cast member Cory Monteith cast a pall on the beginning of the show's fifth season, but it returned that September with a tribute to the Fab Four that was released as Glee: Sings the Beatles. The following October also saw the release of the Quarterback EP, which featured some of the Monteith tribute episode's most heartfelt musical moments, including Rent's "Seasons of Love," the Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You," and Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender." ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
Constant Craving
Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin
And constant craving
Has always been
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Leads wisdom to its youth
Santana & Shelby
Constant craving
Has always been
Craving
Santana, Shelby & Rachel
Ah ha, constant craving

The lyrics of the song Constant Craving sung by Glee Cast can be interpreted as a reflection of a deep-seated desire or longing that has always existed in the lives of the characters. The lyrics convey the idea that this craving is an inherent aspect of our being, much like the blood running through our veins. The first part of the song sung by Santana establishes that this desire exists in all of us, irrespective of our experiences, and that this yearning has been with us since the beginning.
In the second verse sung by Shelby, the lyrics suggest that this craving could be the result of a universal force that attracts people towards the truth, or it could simply be life that teaches us wisdom and the need for something more. The incorporation of spiritual and philosophical themes in the verse portrays the complexity and depth of the human experience.
The chorus, "Constant craving has always been," is a repetition of the idea that this longing is an inherent part of our being that has existed within us since the beginning of time. The use of harmony and the layered vocals in the chorus create a feeling of unity and reinforce the idea that this desire is something that we all share.
