Tonight, many a tear will be shed by "Glee" fans during the emotional tribute episode to Finn Hudson/Cory Monteith. It will be especially heartbreaking for Lea Michele, who was Monteith's real-life and on-screen girlfriend. This week, Lea finally broke her silence about his shocking death. 

The actress told  TV Week Australia, "For me personally, I've lost two people: Cory and Finn," Michele said. "We had a beautiful memorial for Cory in the auditorium and some of the cast members sang and people spoke about him. It only felt right that we would do the same thing for Finn, so I felt it was very therapeutic."

She also revealed why she delved back into work not long after his death. "Everyone is asking: 'Is it hard to do this? Is it hard to be back at work?', but the truth is it's no harder at work than it is in life," she continued, "so we might as well all be together as a family supporting each other to get through this together."

Michele spoke about her enduring love for Monteith. "I woke up every single day feeling like I was in some sort of spell or something, that I was lucky enough to have him in my life," she shared. "There was no greater man than Cory, so for the time we spent together, I consider myself very lucky."

TVLine recently released the set list for the memorial episode, which is called "The Quarterback," referencing Finn's position on the football team. The soundtrack spans from a song from the musical "Rent" to a Bob Dylan cover. 

The track list for "The Quarterback" first reported by MJsBigBlog, is as follows:

"Seasons of Love" (from Rent)
The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You" (performed by Amber Riley's Mercedes)
James Taylor's "Fire and Rain"
The Band Perry's "If I Die Young" (performed by Naya Rivera's Santana)
Bruce Springsteen's "No Surrender"
Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" (performed by Lea Michele's Rachel, rumored to be the actress' only scene in the episode)

TVLine also reported that although there was talk of doing a montage of Finn/Cory scenes over one of the songs, the idea was abandoned. 

"The Quarterback" will air tonight, October 10 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
