Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House is featured in Swan Song, the ninth episode of Season Four. It is sung by Finn with the New Directions with Blaine, Brittany, Finn, Marley, Sam, and Tina having solos.
After Finn struggles to find a place to rehearse, Marley suggested the courtyard. Assuming that no one else is going to show up to practice, Finn starts singing along with Marley as the snow begins to fall. Both of them begin start to be accompanied by the rest of New Directions, who slowly emerge, wearing beanies and coats due to the weather.
As the New Directions reunite, back in New York, Kurt reads a letter in tears. Rachel asks why, to which Kurt replies that he has been accepted to NYADA. Rachel runs to hug him as they cry in joy. The New Directions clap and applaud as they reunite.

Finn:
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Finn (and Marley):
Hey now, hey now
(Don't dream it's over)
Hey now, hey now
(When the world comes in)
They come
Finn and Marley:
They come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Blaine and Tina:
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
Brittany and Sam:
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Blaine with New Directions (with Sam):
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
(To build a wall between us)
We know they won't win
Finn (Tina):
(Ooo, yeah) Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over (Don't dream 'til it's over)
Yeah! (Oh, whoa)
Finn (and Tina):
Now I'm walking again,
To the beat of a drum
(And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart)
Blaine and Tina:
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Finn with New Directions (Marley):
(Oh, whoa, whoa!) Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
Finn (with Blaine):
(To build a wall between us)
We know they won't win
No, they won't win, no
Sam with New Directions (with Blaine):
Hey now, hey now
Don't (dream it's over) (Marley: Don't let them win)
Hey now, hey now
When the (world comes in) (Marley: When the world comes in)
They come, they come
Sam with Blaine:
To build a wall between us
Tina with New Directions:
Hey now, hey now!
Blaine with Finn (Tina):
Don't let them win (Oh yeah!)
Don’t let them win (Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh, yeah)
Blaine and Tina with New Directions:
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
