He wrote this before AVPS. They just needed a last minute song so they changed it around a bit for Umbridge to sing. Hint why it is different from the AVPS version.
Honestly? The way he sings it, I can actually see this being a hit single on radio. I'm not even joking. It's amazing how he can change a song from making you laugh till you cry with Joe to singing it himself and his voice metaphorically making you pregnant. Bam. Just like that.
The fact that they adapted this song to fit Umbridge makes me even more impressed at how well it fit the musical. Definitely a tone shift, but that worked in their favor for that part.
That's the impression I have too; when I heard it in the musical I really liked it but it stood out to me as something that could be its own song beyond the context of the show.
No, he wrote the song for himself, then used it in AVPM. And for the person recieving that feedback comment it may have sounded like yelling. So I just gave them a tip about maybe not using capslock in the future :)
At the beginning, he kinda stuttered (lol, irony). Darren: Remember that, uh... Someone in the crowd: Remember that time... Darren: Remember that time (cont.) He always forgets his own lyrics! It's adorkable! :D
Can we petition that Darren release a studio version of this song on iTunes? I seriously want him to release this song and The Muse. The man's singing (and songwriting abilities) never fails to make me smile. :)
i used to listen to this all the time and i just remembered this video for the first time in 10 years and it again makes me sad he never released an official version of it
Was just thinking how awesome this live performance is, so simple and raw, and how nice it'd be to see it. THEN I REMEMBERED I AM ON THE 5TH ON JULY FFF.
I don't know if we're looking at or talking about the same Darren, because Darren Criss has one of the foulest mouths I've ever heard. It's just one of the more adorable, real things about him.
He pulled another darren doesn't know on us. Lyrics, darren doesn't know them. He can make it work though, not hating on darren, but it's hilarious how he always forgets his own lyrics, but still is amazing
I still find it wierd, seeing Darren Criss on youtube like this, and in his homemade disney cover videos, and then seeing him on national television as Blaine on Glee! It's easy to think of celebrities as not real people. When the transformation from normal person to famous can be seen like this, it's rather inspiring. Good job Darren!
Love that he actually stuttered at the beginning of this :) I can't believe I only heard him sing this for the first time yesterday! I love this more than the AVPS version, his voice is so sexy -3
I love playing this on ukulele! It's definitely a different sound that the guitar, but so fun. Btw, the chords (repeated): F#m, E C#m, D. And then right before the chorus: C#
his hair, his voice, his talent, his passion in what he's doing, his loveability factor (forgetting the words to a song he wrote) and him in general. wow
this guy is seriously made out of win. I don't know how his body survives through the day without all his molecules reversing and imploding at the speed of light out of pure AWESOME. Mad guitar skills. If anyone has a better quality version, for the love of god, put it up. :)
