River ist ein Song aus der neunten Episode der dritten Staffel, Galaktische Weihnachten, und wird von Rachel gesungen, um für das Weihnachtsspecial zu üben, in dem die New Directions auftreten werden. Danach erklärt Artie ihr, dass er lieber ein fröhliches Weihnachtslied in seiner Show hätte, jedoch meint Sam, dass es bei Weihnachten nicht nur darum ginge. Er verlässt das Auditorium und will, dass Rory ihm folgt, welcher aber lieber bleiben will.
Das Original stammt von Joni Mitchell aus ihrem vierten Album "Blue" aus dem Jahr 1971.

Rachel:
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
