EDIT: Ok, this is awesome!
Today was a spectacular day for me. I keep reading your incredible comments. I don't answer all of them because I don't want to sound repetitive.
Sincere thanks again for all the wonderful things you say.
I thought nobody was going to like this song (because it's very different from the original). But I see that I was wrong, and I still can not believe it.
I'm glad I worked so hard on this cover (although today one of the strings of my harp broke because of the excitement! img131.yfrog.com/i/19012010003... )
Thanks people!!
Hello everyone! After a long time without uploading videos today I decided to make a cover of this wonderful song.
"The Muse" is a song by Darren Criss (known for his role in A Very Potter Musical. Check his MySpace, he has a lot of great songs www.myspace.com/darrencriss ).
To get the music I used this video • Darren Criss, The Muse... (I haven't found the score or tabs anywhere). I had to adapt the song to the harp, so you will see many changes (especially in the rhythm). I apologize for all musical errors. It was very difficult!
It sounds very very very different from the original. Please listen to it, because it's beautiful (and much better than mine).
I hope Darren won't be offended! I did it because I love this song and I could not resist to play it!
Thanks for watching. Hope you like it.

Hola a todos! Tras mucho tiempo sin subir ningún vídeo hoy por fin me he decidido a hacer una cover de esta maravillosa canción.
The Muse es una canción de Darren Criss (conocido por su papel en A Very Potter Musical. Pasaros por su MySpace, tiene muchas canciones geniales www.myspace.com/darrencriss ).
Para sacar la música he utilizado este vídeo • Darren Criss, The Muse... (no he encontrado la partitura ni los acordes por ningún sitio). He tenido que adaptar la canción para el arpa, así que veréis que tiene muchos cambios (sobre todo en el ritmo). Pido perdón por todos los errores musicales. Ha sido bastante difícil!
Es una versión muy muy muy diferente a la original. Por favor, mirad la versión original, porque es preciosa (y mucho mejor que la mía).
Espero que Darren no se sienta ofendido! Lo he hecho porque me encanta esta canción y no he podido resistirme!
Gracias por verme. Espero que os guste.

this is insainly beautiful, darren was correct

[@MammaMia]

It's like this song was MEANT for the harp! I love this instrument so much. There are not enough harps in the world.

[@Minzeminz]

More people watched the reaction of Darren Chriss than this video. I love it. 1000 greetings from cold germany!

[@TheVergile]

This reminds of these music boxes you always see in old movies. I would love to have one with your arrangement of this song....that would be wonderful. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

[@LauraChewy]

i love that darren remembered this and put it on his fan covers playlist after all this time ;) still just as amazing as it was almost 3 years ago :)

[@EdwardScissorshand]

You know, I never really understood it when they said "Play the music with your soul." I mean, it's just notes. You can't show emotion with that. But, now, watching this, I finally see that. Thank you.

[@anadvc6948]

this deserves so much more views

[@darrencrissistotallyawesom918]

This is so perfect. So haunting and just Oh. My. God. It's so beautiful, I can't

[@hiddencherry212]

I watched this a few years ago and loved it. I had to google it to find it just now. Still gives me chills. Wonderful job!

[@KlaineHummelson]

This.. scares me. It's so amazing, and it's so eerie, and you're just absolutely amazing. I can't express how amazing this is. When Darren did that video I thought "Wow, that's got to be an overreaction!" But now that I watch this I completely understand.

[@mariannesv2505]

WOW! I led here by Darren's reaction to see what was so amazing and it's just BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE, I'm with no words, keep going @CeviHarp, you have a very big talent, LOVE it!

[@jennnwalshhh]

This is absolutely amazing. The first time I heard it I immediately fell in love with it. I choreographed a dance to this and everyone has told me that it was the best dance I have choreographed. Thank you so much for this amazing piece of music. Keep up the good work. You are a truely talented and inspiring person :)

[@nataliehawkins5583]

Like Darren said. Oh. My. God. I love this so so so so so much

[@rinrennee]

I still love revisiting this and listening over and over again! I always sincerely wish I could have a music box with this tune *covet*

[@Hew91]

It is so hard to find good covers on youtube anymore, but to me a good cover is 3 things. 1) Respectful to the original artist and piece: the very soul of the song is left in tact here...you can tell just how much you care for the song, and it comes out elegantly 2) Does not compromise the style of the one covering it: You spent the time to turn this song into your style, not an easy task and well done 3) Offers something new for the listener: This is elegant, and captures the song's raw emotion

[@3sth3la]

mi Dios!! debo decirte que no soy de las personas que lloran al escuchar una cancion o una melodia.. pero esta pieza tiene algo.. que me conmovio mucho.. tocas excelente, y no me imagino el honor que debes de haber sentido cuando Darren incluso hizo un video para agradecerte.. deberian tener un boton de "me encanta" en lugar de solo uno de "me gusta"

[@EndUsikaProductions]

I literally got chills. It reminds me of the music boxes I used to play around with as a child and showing it to a friend we all didn't talk, even being quiet afterward because it just felt wrong after such perfect music. We all love it, you're a brilliant harpist.

[@jbfan1987]

This is just....so beautiful. There is nothing like the sound of a harp, to me. And then with The Muse...God it's just fantastic. I can't get enough.

[@soleilromero7227]

Darren criss ur so amazing ur very talented and inspiring I just love u and I want to be like u when I am older

[@EmilyIncorperated]

Wow, you totally deserved Darren's reaction to this!

[@theatreangelina]

Upon hearing both this rendition and Darren's original on guitar, I much prefer this. And I'm so glad that he wasn't shy at admiting what an amazing talent you have and that HE'S jealous that he didn't write this rendition before he wrote his. It's very beautiful and a wonderful song to hear on the harp. Thank you.

[@smileygirl2244]

This is bringing tears to my eyes, 3 years later and you still manage to awe people! Keep up the beautiful work and thank you for showing people what real music is x

[@hautxtalons]

I too was directed here by means of Darren's response video. I love his song but my god, he was right, this is a whole new thing you have created and it's so very beautiful. I feel like I'm in a different world altogether when I listen to this.. some sort of elven fairytale eternal forest flowing with like silver streams and I could go on and on!! In short, you're amazing!!!

[@PianoDisneygal10]

This is fantastic! And to have Darren say all those terrific things about your performance is amazing! You are so lucky!

[@OddXVi]

[@musiicmasterrr]

This is absolutely one of the most beautiful covers of anything that I have ever come across, and I thank you so much for taking the time to recreate this already amazing song into something magical and magnificent. I watched Darren's response after watching this the first time (I'm listening to it again right now) and he hit it dead on; you are extraordinarily talented. Simply put, you're marvelous in your craft. Please never stop playing. (:

[@YukiTsubaki7]

[@benjamincarring6859]

You're an outstanding musician! This is one of the best covers of a song I have ever heard!

[@sandraludvigsen]

I never really take the time to listen to stuff like this, but this is absolutely beautiful. And then you got Darren to make a video of it, that is waaaaay awesome!!!!

[@ReinoChap]

Wow.... I'm blown away. This is absolutely enrapturing. You've done an incredible job. I could listen to this video all day... haha

[@chessnuts101]

This is so beautiful, yet so magical. thank you for making life that extra bit more wonderful for me.

[@haruechan]

Omg... Darren Criss' song is gorgeous by itself... and then you came and managed to turn it into something even more beautiful! I'm kinda speechless by this... All your Darren Criss covers were amazing... and so are your original piece... I need to watch more of your videos as soon as possible... But this.. this is priceless. You're a wonderful musician.

[@darvb5]

@CeviHarp Thats just absolutely incredible!!!! :D I just want to say, you inspired all of us here on youtube, and im so happy that you made this cover!

I love playing your music when I get ready in the mornings, or when I'm doing homework, or whenever I'm on the computer, really. I love this song, and you absolutely KILL IT. There's no other way to put it. Fantastic work. :) Keep 'em coming.

[@raakku]

... I'm speechless. I'm so glad that Darren made a video about this, because you totally deserve to get attention and I think I would've never come across to this overwhelmingly beautiful version of this song without his video. You are so talented, I just can't get over it. Taking a pop song and transferring it to such an instrument as harp... Just amazing. I hope you are proud of yourself and keep making these absolutely amazing covers for us to hear.

[@asplanned26]

this legitimately has an ethereal quality to it. i feel like an angel's about to come take me by the arm and fly me away to some place that is totally awesome..

[@musicxxorxxmisery]

[@SomethingSimple555]

[@tessinetly]

This is absolutely stunning. Almost otherworldly in it's haunting quality. Sheer genius. I can see why Darren was so touched by the way you "bent" this piece to fit your harp. Brilliant!!

[@independentproject91]
