GLEE - Cough Syrup (Full Performance) (Official Music Video) HD

GLEE - Full Performance of Cough Syrup.
Sung by: Blaine Anderson/Darren Criss.
Episode: 3x14 "On My Way".

[@aeris44]

This is Darren's best cover on Glee. This type of song really suits his voice.

[@aeris44]

***** *Addition* yes I would say obviously since he had such a main role after the came in. Voice-wise I think the second generation of the male cast were more powerful. But their characters were just dragging the series.

[@michelamonaco5997]

aeris44 true

[@Rbstcookie234]

aeris44 Darren? His name is Blaine.

[@WilfredoVEVO]

Noup, Blaine is the name of the character, Darren is his name in the real life(:

[@graceadams7836]

Agreed completely

[@MinqApoc]

I just love how Glee was silly and unrealistic, yet had these heartbreaking "realtalk"-scenes.

[@aileenvargas8913]

MinqApoc that’s the way life goes

[@samcleary5719]

how is this silly and unrealistic ??

[@MinqApoc]

@@samcleary5719 large parts of glee were silly and unrealistic. This one of the realtalk scenes i was mentioning.

[@charlotted1321]

up to season 3 they were doing ok with the real stuff, past that it became a fantasy/comedy/musical show..@@MinqApoc

[@charlotted1321]

just darren and a microphone and he manages to make this one of the most powerful, if not thee most powerful meaningful performance on glee.

[@johnnewson2]

It along with the storyline is a very powerful message

[@ApeNature]

Its a very good performance, heightened by the cross-cutting of Karofsky's suicide attempt. It's the confluence of editing and performance.

[@adahkaplan8494]

Charlotte D probably also the montage with Karofsky and the echo effect on the audio...most powerful scene on glee by far

[@arthurfilipi2549]

nah, not the most powerful because of Unique's "if i were a boy", but DEFINITELY is up there

[@rohinirenee]

Darren is God!

[@eloisemurphy2051]

I used to hate karofksy but seeing him go through this just makes me cry 😭😭😭

[@asianpizzza4518]

Same here

[@leahclark5381]

+Ivy Hayes same

[@sydney589]

I started sobbing

[@kourtneykardasim3125]

eloise murphy same

[@static979]

me too

[@kindesgedanke]

I cry every time I hear this song because of this. This is the saddest and most touching performance/scene in Glee history for me. Even beats Seasons of Love and I was sobbing then.

[@EleniValois]

that one, and shooting star when mr.shue found brittney. and, of course every song of the quarterback

[@kindesgedanke]

And I keep coming back. 😢💔

[@jordyngiganti9703]

Imagine is pretty touching

[@MS-kt8vl]

If i die young, stand by you, make you feel my love aand I wanna hold you hand are my top most emotional songs. I've cried during all of them.

[@MS-kt8vl]

Oh and the acoustic version of Teenage Dream.

[@jordanmonfils2440]

Girl it’s 2020 and I still can’t stop listening to this

[@katiet3470]

YES it’s a whole vibe

[@paigesimard4350]

same😭😭😭

[@degro_1915]

yuppppp

[@rohinirenee]

Same.. Darren ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Lol-fl1hz]

Ha same

[@dezraithornhill8797]

This scene will ALWAYS be better than the Thirteen Reasons Why scene. Sorry but it's true

[@adonoadono6862]

Dezrai Thornhill factsssss

[@gaslight.gatekeep.girlboss6476]

amen

[@candymama7589]

Dezrai Thornhill Ik it’s better than the whole show

[@BIELCGRIO]

yeah, a people that dind't die obviously its better than a died one. 13RW helped me a lot to deal with myself and the problems that i've passing through.

[@sophiqu354]

@gus they aren't talking about the song in particular They're talking about the suicide attempt in both shows

[@danielabarroeta3521]

Can we talk about how perfect is Darren Criss voice

[@Saulestrellav]

Darren Criss is perfect

[@graysang5386]

everything about the darren criss is perfect

[@julietbauer4989]

This definitely the second saddest glee song in history after seasons of love. My heart broke watching Karofsky go through that, and to add to it, Blaine was singing this song with such emotion and pain. I remember sobbing my eyes out when I first saw this.

[@chase282]

me to

[@nicolesantiago4795]

Juliet B first it “make to you feel my love” then this song on the saddest song on glee

[@camillepeterson2519]

This is the best cover of cough syrup, I ever heard. Darren has got a fantastic voice, and his a really good actor. When I first saw him in Glee, I immediately like him. He is my fav character in the Glee. :)

[@camillepeterson2519]

He is a really good actor*

[@stephaniepotter396]

Ikr!! He's my favorite too!!

[@juanjos96e]

I liked him too, then, out of the blue, he started using too much gel and dressing like an old person

[@crownbritish2259]

Juanjo Tavolara so true omg haha- I noticed as well and I hate it

[@TheMatube12]

This and the one by Matthew Schuler (I think that's how it's spelled)

[@DevinSumer]

this song saved my life. this is my song. forever.

[@mlemons33]

Devin Sumer glad you’re still here

[@faith9196]

That’s amazing

[@lovefromjuliaxo]

it's my song,too x

[@ElectraV]

And this one is mine 😭 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2GYaJ2AmNV1l6c

[@ayraerae245]

Happy you're still here ❤

[@taylorh.5501]

This song goes great for the Karovsky scene. This show has tons of life lessons like suicide, depression, same sex marriage, LGBT, and addresses bullying

[@denissen9062]

It learns you about acceptance

[@itsme133]

Teen pregancy too

[@Samantha-zv1lc]

darren’s facial expressions reflected karofsky’s situation and it hit hard.

[@blackwidow746]

Can we just appreciate the incredible acting from Max Adler (Karofsky) like he played this part so well and it's so powerful

[@eviestbarbe3781]

this song was so perfect for this scene, i don’t think a different song would’ve gone so well with this

[@SPINDY72]

This Glee guy masterfully portrays the raw, visceral persona of a front man. Subtle, passionate rage.

[@cordeliapalmer5800]

On the one hand, this song is so perfect in the context in which it was sung. The juxtaposition of Darren Criss’s beautiful voice, the crazy emotional acting skills, that song, and Karofsky’s suicide attempt are stunning. On the other hand, though, part of me keeps thinking, ‘Should have saved that for Nationals, Blaine. Or at least sung it twice.’ Honestly, as far as I am concerned, that is the most powerful song of the show, and the most beautifully performed. And they are both such tremendous actors. On a different note, I always feel that Karofsky should have returned to McKinley after all of the bullying, and joined the glee club. He would have been welcomed and celebrated there. And he has a good voice. But seriously. Darren Criss. Wow.

[@ebsii0687]

The whole thing was him singing it to kurt to see if it would be good for nationals. Like. Tf.

[@rishiheda8186]

I thought Karofsky had graduated by then. I may be wrong

[@ankitagupta6695]

I absolutely love Darren's cover! It not only suits his voice, but he also enhances the rhythm. My favourite!

[@taylorellis9307]

I just can't get over how good his voice is it gives me gooseboops

[@breannasimpson491]

they seriously couldnt of picked a better person to play Blaine

[@peachygirl4389]

Omgomgomg I know !!!

[@maryfridaysolarjova3869]

I don't know how Darren does this,but I'm always crying when I listen to this song 😢❤

[@ritaekah2516]

[@itsme133]

Lyrics: Life's too short to even care at all, oh. I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control, oh oh. These fishes in the sea, their staring at me, oh oh oohh. A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, oh oh. If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away, To some fortune that I, I should have found by now. I'm waiting for this cough syrup, To come down, come down. **Break** Life's too short to even care at all, oh. I'm coming up now, coming up now, coming up now, out of the blue, oh oh. These zombies in the park, they're looking for my heart, oh oh oohhh. A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, oh oh ohh. If I could find a way to see this straight, I'd run away, To some fortune that I, I should have found by now, and so I run now to the things they say could restore me, restore life the way it should be. I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down. One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh. One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh oh.

[@tatianaosvaldo4894]

I came back to this song today when darren wrote about his brother suicide, i've been dealing with depression since a year ago and this makes me sad but also with some faith "life's to short to even care all" i hope everyone that is dealing with this can get through, we are not alone.

[@JadePaints]

I love how they're covering bands that don't have much recognition but have amazing songs

[@christinakraenbring3959]

I tear up every time I hear Darren Criss sing this. He is my absolute fav in Glee.

[@laurent4305]

Emmy worthy scene, really

[@darrencriss8985]

I really think this version is much better than the original. Darren at his best here

[@ashleyforbs6190]

ikr

[@ambermotley3396]

Darren Criss same.

[@AbbASongs1]

hands down

[@crimsondiamond5695]

You’re full of yourself😂

[@Memma85]

This proves that it doesn't matter who you are or how big and strong you are; when bullies get to you like that, you always feel like the smallest and lonliest person in the world and the scars stay with you forever! This was an important episode in my opinion.

[@aleishamcguire3844]

Glee will always be such a great TV show because of things like this. They taught people about real shit that was going on in life. Suicide, fear of coming out, bullying, everything. It will always and forever be an amazing show

[@adam____________]

Darren's peformances are always so emotional I love him gosh this song made me cry every time I've heard it

[@charlenelambert7588]

I'll never get over this cover. I love it so much. It makes me cry everytime. This scene was so meaningful, and beautiful.

[@RonHeartsMe]

This was absolutely the most powerful moment in all of Glee. Darren sang it perfectly and the cuts to Karowsky getting ready to kill himself was perfectly done. I still hear this version when I listen to the song.

[@jaderamos8368]

The emotion and passion that he gives off while singing is amazing

[@AlberthSothel]

The best song of Glee :3

[@jacieljairhernandezmorruga9678]

Alberth Sothell it's not made for he

[@berniecasey7572]

AMAZING VOICE..........Love Darren.

[@ana1995miranda]

Same!!! I love Darren!!!!

[@ThePreppalicious]

I'm really disappointed that we never got to see how Karofsky's life turned out.. I know Max talked about a scene that he shot with Chris and Darren.. Man, I would have LOVED to see that. Who knows maybe he'll get an invite to Kurt and Blaine's wedding..

[@Racqualh]

I def agree

[@rae.quillzwilltree8267]

that would good have that

[@Racqualh]

But Karofsky (Idk his real name) is on Switched At Birth as Bay's bf Tank . . . but im sure he'd be willing to come back on Glee cus he was at the Glee 100th episode party

[@rae.quillzwilltree8267]

that is true

[@Rae-fi7zh]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Supermatze]

Life's too short to even care at all oh, I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control These fishes in the sea they're staring at me oh, oh A wet world aches for a beat of a drum Oh, oh If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down, come down Life's too short to even care at all oh, I'm coming up now coming up now out of the blue oh, These zombies in the park they're looking for my heart Oh , oh A dark world aches for a splash of the sun oh, oh If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now And so I run now to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down Life's too short to even care at all oh I'm losing my mind losing my mind losing control oh, If I could find a way to see this straight I'd run away To some fortune that I should have found by now So I run now to the things they said could restore me Restore life the way it should be I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh One more spoon of cough syrup now, oh Übersetzen in: Deutsch Quelle: Google

[@ebsii0687]

The first lyric is relateable

[@lucyalbaumann]

Everyone’s performances in this scene are flawless. Max Adler really proved how talented of an actor he is. It feels so real. I strongly admire and respect his portrayal of Karofsky. I can’t put into words how much this scene makes me feel. He did such an incredible job, and showed his story in a way that you can’t write. On Darren’s part, his vocals and acting choices are absolutely incredible. I’ve heard him sing so many songs, but this one always sticks out to me. He brilliantly blends the raw emotion of the scene into the fact that Blaine doesn’t know about Karofsky’s suicide attempt. If you took Dave’s scenes out it would just look like Blaine’s singing another song. But if you took out the shots in the auditorium, it seems like a song specifically sung to go along with the scene (If that makes any sense). I could write an essay on this scene and I adore it so dearly.

[@imateakettle]

I know this comment is old, but you’re totally right. Adler really does show that feeling of “I wanna die but what about the people I care about”. This is coming from someone who is only alive for fear of hurting those i love.

[@user-lg8yj9sp4c]

This is my favourite performance in Glee.

[@jurassicgarden5485]

Haven't really watched or been a fan of Glee in years, but this really hit me...

[@geniedreamsofyesteryear1328]

This cover is just FLAWLESS. Darren is perfection

[@Louisiana26]

If you have been through this then this song will bring the emotions rushing back. I wanted to stop the song but I didn't because it is a reminder of how much we have to continue to fight so hopefully the next generation won't have to go through this. Darren did an excellent job on this song.

[@victoriasmith1954]

Darren/Blaine slayed this song. Poor Karofsky... this scene always brings me to tears.

[@nisanuravc6669]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COVERS IN GLEE

[@whorundaworldgirls1]

on a more positive note; blaine sounds so amazing

[@CrystolW88]

I miss the old Glee. This video breaks my heart.

[@Nedread]

These scenes, coupled with Kurt's visit to the hospital later made this a heart wrenching episode. Even 'Grilled Cheesus' didn't affect me this bad; and that was full of Kurt-hospital scenes. It just hurts to see beautiful people in this much pain - I can't begin to comprehend people who would do to others what that jock did to Dave.

[@romeosbrother2386]

This is one greatest glee song cover ever.

[@jenniecraten5089]

Poor david. :( the pain in his eyes is so tangible...

[@diabeticidiot3647]

everything about this scene makes me sob uncontrollably, but when the music went quiet, Karofsky took a breath and stepped on that chair, knowing what he was about to do... that broke me. that broke me so hard man.

[@nicdejesus7886]

watched this episode forgetting the he hangs himself, and i cried, especially because very recently my cousin went through the same thinf, if anyone reading this have any thoughts whatsoever about suicide, dont do it, when you do it, it not only hurts yourself, it hurts everyone who cares about you

[@julianamelo2900]

nicolas dejesus dont you think a person who thinks about suicide have enough pain already? So why add a hugh responsibility like you did with your comment?

[@infernosikenah]

Juliana Melo thought about it and actually the thought of people being hurt by me killing myself helps me out cause it doesn’t make me feel like I have a burden of other people’s feelings it makes me feel like someone cares about me

[@karolinekoerner962]

Juliana Melo it's actually helps....this song I listened to while I cut and hurt myself. Just one thing helps

[@alanaschoffer994]

When you are about to kill yourself you are already dead inside, you get to a point It doesn't feel you are there anymore, I got to that point three times, I'm Just alive by miracle, only God can help when someone get there.

[@itatchi8827]

Guilt tripping suicidal people into staying alive isnt the best way to approach this either

[@marywyatt7611]

this is one of the reasons i love glee talks about subjects that is being dealt with in real life. they had no business bullying him to the point where he thought ending his life was better for him. glad he got help in the end and came to love who he is. shouldnt be bullied because of your sexuality.

[@YourNewDistro]

My all time favourite glee scene & song HANDS DOWN!

[@damesjeanjamesdean]

Dude, this song, this cover, this scene breaks me everytime.

[@goofy_gooner888]

This and the end of glee were the saddest part of the show

[@elhigh]

A terrifying moment of despair, and an odd song that somehow captures that moment and makes it even bigger. This is a hard scene to watch, and a hard song to hear.

[@ignaciovillalabeitia]

One of the best Glee covers

[@puffypuff9946]

Such power and emotion in Darren's singing. This has by far been the best performances he has done. Everytime I hear this song I can only think about him and the emotion he gives on stage with a single mic and low stage lights. This episode hits me so personally and no one should ever have to consider suicide. This cover is amazing

[@AustinHitachiinCyrus]

I am NEVER emotionally prepared for this video. Believe me, I do think this was one of THE BEST performances EVER on Glee. (In my own opinion that is.) When you meet Karofsky, you instantly dislike him. He was a bully, he was a jerk, and an antagonist you would say. I personally disliked him VERY VERY much especially how he treated Kurt. Season 3, when he kissed Kurt, I wasn't expecting it. I thought it was a great storyline- with Karofsky actually being a homosexual himself, closeted, scared, but hid it with bullying other homosexuals. No matter how much you liked or disliked him, I guarantee that you will NOT feel the same as you did before you watched this scene. Yes, I disliked Karofsky every time I saw him, but I cry every time I hear this cover, see gifs or photos, and even watch this performance. No matter who you are as a person or what you did, nobody should EVER have to go through something like this. Yes, he got a taste of his own medicine, I do admit that, but he did not deserve to die- and luckily he didn't With Darren narrating this song with emotions and having the scenes of Dave, it made me cry like a baby, and will everytime i see it. I feel like this was a true and honest moment on Glee.

[@alicevanderlund3126]

I'm so glad that you have summed up my exact thoughts so I didn't have to because I cannot even express myself while crying this hard. I don't really know the context (what happened before or after) but It still gets me every time.

[@mannnymoore6751]

Christopher Breeden take ur dumbass somewhere else. No one needs haters like you.

[@jaylah5355]

Glee definitely has their serious episodes where it makes you feel something and connect with the characters on a higher level just AMAZING

[@rishiheda8186]

Karofsky kissed Kurt in season 2, by season 3 Karofsky was reformed but yeah totally agree with the rest of your comment

[@lamjeff]

One of the most amazing performance on glee still... best song performed by Darren and great performance from Max!!

[@dakotajames3977]

I love that they are able to portray the vulnerability of even the toughest person. It’s emotional, but holds so much power. I can’t think of a more perfect song for this scene.

[@user-pf9jk1tc9i]

i bawled so hard during this scene i just couldnt handle it :( i cant even handle it NOW

[@theavrillavigneproject]

Porbably the most powerful moment on Glee ever. Still cry every time.

[@angiepierina1884]

2020 and this song is still sooo meaningful, darren did it again

[@ainsleyflower304]

The emotion Darren puts into this song is amazing

[@Geeebaby92]

The slow start with the instruments playing and focus on crovsky. To the fast pace and split focus of him crying, and Blaine dancing with so much feeling it's just beautiful! This was written, produced, directed, and acted out perfectly! I cry every time

[@cambeckett]

this is my most favourite song from the whole show and i listen to is ALL THE TIME i cri

[@namni19]

Darren nails every emotion in every song. A phenomenal actor. And singer.

[@michelehaber61]

Darren’s voice is perfection 👍🎤💞!

[@michelehaber61]

One of Darren’s best performances , surprised he never got award from Glee , so talented, is ok, he got his Emmy , but his voice is magic

[@duckielover151]

Performances like this one really shows Glee at its best. I can't say the show didn't have its flaws, but it was moments like this one that kept me tuned in.

[@velocity9789]

This scene always makes me cry :(

[@jonfed3477]

When I saw this episode, I cried my freaking eyes out!

[@moavallin4597]

This, in my opinion, is Blaine's best song. It suits his voice and this performance always makes me so sad

[@breannasimpson491]

this has got to be one of the saddest moments on glee.

[@SuperHinata18]

i always cry when i see this video. i hate how the boys treats him. why should people be judge because how they choose to live their lives. whats even sadder is that suicide is the number 1 killer among teens those days. what can't we just get we all get along and treated each other the way we want to be treated.

[@sandrin41]

i love you Blaine

[@seliloski]

The first note and i got chills all over my body... geez it's been 3 years

[@lilbunny1678]

When I saw this on Tv I was about to kill myself bc of bullies and Blaine saved me from that #grateful

[@joannemanoula3241]

God loves you

[@WaffleChips]

i’m so happy you’re better now. keep your head up you are an outstanding person 💞

[@mauricepf1363]

I literally cried seeing this vid, I can see myself in this vid after my coming out in Senior school. it is so sad, to be honest. Glee helped me through this time of my life. Also, this is a powerful and amazing song, sang by Blaine.

[@luisorozco1489]

With this whole quarantine going on I started re-watching glee and I slept on Blaine warbler the first time I watched the series... This version is better than the original in my opinion

[@marinamouta1508]

I ♥ this song... especially sung by Daren Criss

[@littlerussianone]

Love it so much!

[@taylorellis9307]

I've been replying this over and over just how Darren gets into the song ughh it's just so amazing

[@lucie_fvre]

Beautiful ... ♥

[@cn8918]

The best cover. Awesome! I love his beautiful voice.

[@LeslieNichols95]

So good I got goosebumps. Ugh.

[@DangerEM]

My favorite Blaine song

[@kimberleybell93]

This scene brought out every emotion possible

[@feredits840]

This is so meaningful to me, because i always thought that if i came Out as bi this would happend to me, i thought to even commit suicide bc i didn't wanted to get bullied and all that crap. But Believe me, it's not worth it, it's okay. You can be yourself and it's totally fine. I haven't come out yet to all My Friends and all My family, but My parents Are Okay and my best Friends accepted and treat me the same, even One of them came Out too, just like a casual conversation. Kid, you're going to be fine❤️ stay alive

[@KD-hs4kg]

Totally, I thought about suicide too, my parents and family always say when I get older I will find a nice guy. But in my head I'm like, no I'll find a nice girl. I haven't told my parents yet, but my two best friends are really accepting, one of the is bi herself. We make so many gay jokes it's not funny. Our two guy friends think it's funny because we are all 3 best friends and 1 of us is straight, 1 bi, and 1 gay. We are literally a fucking rainbow of friends 🌈🙎🏽🌈🙎🏻🌈🙎🏼🌈

[@feredits840]

Darren Criss that's cool, my best friend and I make tons of gay jokes. It's good to have support. If you decide to come out soon, you can always count with your friends❤️

[@autumnwenrich6005]

I think you should tell your parents

[@autumnwenrich6005]

you don't need to hide

[@feredits840]

amazing people only i agree💕

[@maryoricruz4880]

2019 and I’m still loving this cover is so emotional, and his voice is sooooo ahshshahs

[@BananeAllaRiscossa]

Best glee cover ever

[@bethbarbontin7187]

This always made me cry :(

[@amras1984]

My fav song!

[@vale-fm8ft]

😢😢😢😢 But the good thing is he dosen't die

[@madisonsimpson3021]

I love this performance! Its so sad tho

[@CutieMoli]

I was in the diningroom, ir was a wednesday and I cried my eyes out. I will never forget the first time I saw this episode.

[@-1nonlykobe249]

No matter where I am or what I'm doing. This song will forever give me goose bumps

[@racheltheraddest]

This scene is one of the most gut-wrenching in the history of Glee. I was literally shocked and horrified by this, and even though I hated Karofsky as a character, it was horrible to see him go through this..plus Darren Criss's performance is absolutely AMAZING!

[@marleneallison5124]

This brings tears to my eyes.

[@bente3115]

This is so beautiful and meaningful . Darren is so good! I still remember first seeing him on a very Potter Musical and from that day since now I am hopelessly devoted to him ... #truestory
