I'm still mad they never sung a starkid song on glee.

[@Ana9au1a]

It better that way, starkid dont need no autotune

[@ruby._.romanoffx7778]

[@confusedchica]

So amazing to think a song he wrote for AVPM in college could be so amazingly applicable at the trevor project. Between this and coolest girl, darren criss could teach a class in self-esteem and anti-bullying to kids everywhere.

[@MicahRion]

In a different performance at the Young Actor's theater camp he said that he wrote the song even before AVPM. It's amazing it fit for both AVPM and Trevor Project.

[@Benjithetoucan]

He wrote it in italy when he missed his friends

ok is it me or can you just see 'Blaine' singing this to to 'Kurt'? i mean it describes them SOOOOOO much... this song is adorable, and suits his voice so well! *heart melts*

[@TheChrisErvin]

Makes sense that it fits his voice doesn't it? He did write the song...

[@sofinbugg1558]

Steph P Oh great, now you've tainted a PERFECT Starkid song with your Glee shipping. This is for HIM and JAIME. And to think this clip was totally awesome before. Now I keep thinking about how the Very Potter Musicals are over :'(

[@charchaz00]

forever mad that they didn't use this on glee, exactly what you said, this would've been beyond perfect for blaine to sing to kurt at the start of their relationship

[@did789again]

OMG DOES HE EVER GET DIZZY FROM MOVING SO MUCH ? I love how he's so energetic all the time !

[@nylatlas8138]

Darren, please, don't put your face in the camera. Your beautifulness and handsomness is making me cry... His voice is perfect.

[@hpfan]

I think it's pretty incredible that he's performing a song that he, himself, wrote. The world knows he's handsome, he can sing, he can act, he can dance, he's a sweetheart. But how many knew that he's a talented songwriter as well? I'm so glad he got to share this with so many people outside of the Starkid and Glee fandoms. He's a true talent and class act, and you can tell that these words mean just as much to him as they do to the people who hear them. Bravo, Darren. And congratulations.

[@Roxy2020rox]

I keep hearing the four part harmony at the end of this T_T aww avpm memories

I love how every time the backup sings he smiles so adorably

[@Acem35]

It’s a super meaningful song and so many people don’t know it’s from a Harry Potter parody musical from 2009

[@shamidkpzd]

This song has become much more than a love song, much bigger than AVPM. It's become such an anthem for so many people, people who feel like they don't have anyone to turn to. Thank you Darren, for sharing with us this beautiful song. It means more to us than you'll ever know.

[@mirrorballsagittarius]

Favourite song of Darren's

[@avenueis1377]

OH MY WIZARD GOD

[@bato2763]

it's weird hearing "i know it ain't easy" without the audience laughing

[@annabelmb]

I always end up singing the AVPM bits ("no it ain't easy... it's so hard trying...")

[@mvy109]

I love seeing how excited Darren gets when performing...he is amazing :)

[@mewithoutmusicstinx]

darren is perfect I just can't...

[@AnomieRose]

I love those little faces he makes, and how passionate he becomes when he gets hold of a piano and a mic. He's phenomenal. This song, his voice, the musicals he's done, his acting: he's just a great person all around! And to top it all off, he sings for such a great organization as the Trevor Project. He's not human...

[@samsingsthings]

Darren, you made me cry!!

[@magesneaky2303]

I love his facial expressions when he sings ♥

[@MLEbug]

Awww. He's so young and excited. :)

[@HeyitsMeGuy]

It sends chills down my spine thinking that he wrote this song for a parody type of musical, but really it's so much more powerful than its intended purpose.

[@carolinabelle58]

They should have used this on Glee!

[@anangel705]

yeah,like kurt and blaine trying to put their more negative stuff behind them,or Kurt gets sad because he wished his mom could attend their wedding or something than blaine/darren starts singing this and t becomes a duet by some point.

[@missymariebee]

Oh Darren.....How many ways can you make everyone who sets eyes on you fall in love? Sigh and goosebumps.....

[@urmom-qi3kl]

"This song is terrible. You know what I would give it in a scale of one to ten where one would be the worst and ten would be the best? An eight. Eight point nine. NOTHING more than a nine point eight, because there's always room for improvement" (aka having Jamie, Bonnie, and Joey singing with him haha)

[@mariamejawara]

You got me in the first half

[@ineedarealitycheck]

The best thing about this is that he wrote this song HIMSELF and he's not singing somebody else's lyrics. They are all HIS, and that fact makes me tear up a bit. :)

[@juliawilliams2787]

Its sad cuz he's preforming it alone 😔

[@greyhoundstations]

The background singers really add that extra something to this song. It sounds great.

[@LaCaliffaEnnio]

There's something else about Darren that makes him extra special. There's a certain sweetness that he exudes in his songs. Not only is his singing heart felt, it's very sweet. I guess that's why a lot of people fall in love with him when he sings.

[@MelchiGabor1]

The chorus in the background wins at life.

[@anjanaumapathy]

This was the video that made me fall in love with him, after watching Baby, it's cold outside 2500000000 times, in December. I spent my 15th birthday in 2011 watching his Disney covers and just being amazed and falling hard in love with this beautiful humble incredible man. And I'm still not over him. I've written poems I will never show anyone for him and he's the first thing i think of when i need an escape from reality. I am just really grateful for him. He's the best human being ever.

[@MoonshoesLisa]

This song literally embodies The Trevor Project's message. I can't.

[@melovedisney1492]

Does a more perfect man exist? He is an angel.

[@TheBestVideosEver333]

What is there not to love?!?!? Hes hot, hes a nerd and embraces it, he writes his own songs that will melt your heart and touch your soul, he sounds amazing, he feels the songs, he doesnt do anything bad, hes hysterical, he can make fun of himself. Theres not a single thing wrong with him

[@judgehangman]

Well, finally the man himself came and said that he loves us all equally. Not that he didn't say it before, but people just keep insisting that he loves the StarKids the most.

[@TrueGoldenArrow]

I'm gonna go see him on broadway. I swear if I meet him and he hugs me I will be forever happy cause he's too perfect to be a human.

[@jjjones6749]

i think he is one of the few singers who sounds better live than on tape :D he's absolutely amazing

[@MissGleekbabe]

I always cry when i hear this song because Darren doesn't know I exist and how much he means to me. I know I'm not alone cause he's somewhere waiting for me.

[@kris10lynn]

*bows down to the totally awesomeness of Darren Criss*

[@anakathleen7341]

Just the fact of him actually getting into it makes him perfect. His triangles we call eyebrows are just a topping.

[@DarrensGirl1958]

This is my ultimate cheer-up song. Whenever I'm in a shitty mood, this song is just on repeat forever.

[@MegaSylvaine]

He is 100000 % in his song, it's not possible to live a song in a stronger, deeper way than this. OMG

[@pigfartsyum61]

From the stage of A Very Potter Musical, with that 4 part harmony, to a stage in front of thousands with a chorus. Words do not describe my feeling of pride right now.

[@roxregina]

You know how you sometimes wake up having a tune in your head? I just woke up with this! :-)
