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

[@tydelouis65]

You can tell glee has really helped his voice

[@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.

[@did789again]

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

[@MissShortStack]

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

[@nylatlas8138]

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

He takes my breath away.

confirmed! DARREN IS 100% HARRY FREAKING POTTER-

[@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

[@teddylupinsmyhero]

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

[@mvy109]

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

[@samsingsthings]

Darren, you made me cry!!

[@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...

[@magesneaky2303]

I love his facial expressions when he sings ♥

[@AvalonMorley]

LOVE this guy! He wrote this song? Such a talented, natural, hard-working professional he seems to be. Congratulations to him on his Broadway debut!

[@efkaservicegirl]

I will never get tired of watching him perform this song. Ever. It doesn't matter if he's in a tux behind a baby grand or in a t-shirt and cargo pants behind a keyboard in 110 degree heat, him performing this song will always just get to me.

[@Petitlavieve]

That song is one of my favorite songs from AVPM! You always take my breath away with it Darren!

[@StarkidVampireWeeknd]

No, Darren, you're not. You are NOT alone. All of us Starkids, and, (even as a Starkid, I am saying this), you newly-Darren-fans-because-of-Glee, are supporting you through all of your endeavors in life. WE LOVE YOU

[@JellieBeanGurus]

I adore the faces he makes when he sings

[@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.

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.

[@rozinamouz9286]

Actually Darren wrote this song a couple of years before AVPM, when he was in Italy.

[@thewaywardpoet]

I was bullied like crazy in middle school. I wish that I had heard this song back then. I obviously made it through without harming myself, but there were times when it seemed like there was no way out. That's why, every time I listen to or sing this song, I cry, because it takes me back to that place. It's very therapeutic. Thank you, Darren. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[@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.

[@sovington100]

I think this is his BEST preformance of this song! And that is saying something... I also love that little goofy smile he kept having!

[@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)
