Three days before "Glee"'s tribute episode to Cory Monteith and his character Finn Hudson "The Quarterback" airs, the FOX dramady has released the audio of three of the episode's most poignant tracks. Naya Rivera (Santana) singing "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry, the whole cast singing "RENT"'s "Seasons of Loce" and Lea Michele (Rachel) singing Adele's version of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love."

UPDATE: 'Glee' Season 5 Spoilers: Cory Monteith Tribute Episode 'The Quarterback' Songs 'I'll Stand By You,' 'Fire & Rain,' 'No Surrender' Stream Online Before Oct. 10 Air Date [LISTEN]

MTV News premiered Rivera's version of the somber country song "If I Die Young," and the mid-tempo track is covered simply and quietly, allowing for the lyrics reflecting a life gone too soon to shine through.

Meanwhile, BroadwayWorld.com premiered the "Glee" cover of "Seasons of Love" from "RENT." Similar to "If I Die Young," the track reflects living life to its fullest. The reflective full cast song was first revealed as a part of "The Quarterback" in September.

Finally, the most buzzed about song from "The Quarterback" is Monteith's real life and on-screen girlfriend Michele's cover of Adele's "Make You Feel My Love." First heard in the FOX promo for "The Quarterback," the full audio plays off the precedent set by "If I Die Young." Simple piano instrumentation softly plays in the background while Michele sings the heartbreaking lyrics.

Michele will reportedly not appear in the episode until the very end, when she sings the powerful "Make You Feel My Love" solo.

The synopsis for "The Quarterback" revealed that the plot will circle around former glee club members returning to William McKinley High to mourn Finn Hudson and celebrate his life in song. Other songs in the episode include "I'll Stand By You" (The Pretenders), "Fire and Rain" (James Taylor) and "No Surrender" (Bruce Springsteen).

Monteith died in July at the age of 31. The young actor passed away due to an overdose of heroin and alcohol.

"The Quarterback" episode of "Glee" will air this Thursday, Oct. 10, at 9 p.m. on FOX.
