I really want Darren to make a studio version of this and put it on Spotify and iTunes. This will forever be one of my favourites of his and I know the words off by heart :)
I've been listening to this song probably as long as it's been out. Its seared into my memory like almost anything else. I wish it was available too! Ita one of my all time favorites
Can I just say how fucking hard the guitar is on this? You don't think about how hard it is until you try to play it. He's got a whole bunch of hammer-ons and pull-offs hidden in the middle of his strums, not to mention the strumming pattern is harder than it sounds. Also - finger picking. And I swear to god, he invented half the chords. I know he hates the whole "Every song uses the same four chords" thing, but this is insane (in the best way possible). I love this song. I do. But my hands don't. Anyway, kudos to Darren for creating something so cool:)
Katie Nelson I've managed to create a simpler version that sounds almost exactly like Darren's! It's totally awesome to be able to play this (see what I did there? =D)!!
Katie Nelson I can second that. I have being learning guitar for around a year now, and this is a song I have been working towards for a while. It pushed me to keep trying, and challenging myself to learn more complex things and I am a much better guitar player, because of my passion for wanting to learn these (very complex) amazing songs written by Darren. If I just stuck to those ordinary four chord songs then I would nowhere near as able as I am because of these songs that I am learning written by him. (Also, my finger calluses have never been as tough haha).
i know im literally 6 years late but do you happen to know if anyone has written a tab (or something similar) for this song? its literally one of my favourite songs but i cant find one :(
Listening to this has reminded me that it doesn’t matter about the small things and I have a good life. It also makes me peaceful and in a good mood no matter how much someone has made me mad. Darren is a literal god and no one can change my mind.
Something I think is interesting about Darren's songs in LWL is that they're much more like standard pop songs than the theatre-style songs of the Starkid musicals, which makes sense. This is a good example of that, it's a total banger but not the kind of song you'd hear on stage.
It's my jam. Love it from the bottom of my heart. Can't believe it's real. If it's how angel sounds, I wouldn't be surprised. Love you so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
erm he's loved in Glee too- he's happy in Glee and it's making him very famous. I love him in Starkid too and it's clear he loves that but he cant just do that forever.
Oh my gosh, if you've heard Lauren live recently (I went to London Leakycon and saw her) then trust me, she's incredible live. (admittedly yeah, not as well as the others but now I'm just insane about her voice which is why I mentioned her. :P)
As much as I disagree with you, I just felt like this had to be done... DAMN THAT G.L.E.E!! THEY'RE ALWAYS MAKING TWISTED ABOMINATIONS OF EVERYTHING!! *Wink*
Dear Darren Criss, iloved u & u were pretty much perfect . Then u made a friends referrence.... And now i KNOW that i lve u & that ur perfect . Stay golden-333
i don't know how long darren's known mia but i know he did write it and this song was on Little White Lie which he and his friends made like in 2007 or something. it's such a great song isn't it! i can't get it outta my head... and the whistling at the end! it isn't enough that he's a great musician, songwriter, singer etc but to subtly add in a whistle bit... too good.
Starkid have said that they aren't going to do a season 2. But they did say what happened to everyone, I'm pretty sure that Duder and Tanya or whatever her name is got together, Sami and Kevin got together and Toby got real friends. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the gist of what happened
@thechosenone23241 As much as I agree with the 'TOTALLY AWESOME' button, it's very obvious that you're not referring to happy when you say gay. So I'm going to point out 2 things. 1. Gay means you like someone of your same gender, a button can't be gay. It doesn't have a gender. 2. Gay will ultimately never work as an insult, because it's not a bad thing.
Honestly i wish they would but so many characters wouldnt be in it. I was going to ask them for the rights to create a season two with my own friends replacing them but i dont think theyd let me
this is still one of the most underrated songs of all time

omg same

@@emmasheehan7923 it's on spotify. under "little white lie" album comp. it's from a web series they made ages ago

@@zazzalilperkins7357 I would also like to know this, if you find the answer
Darren's songs always got me feelin some type of way
Oh no she better don't
This the Darren I think of most often. The adorable, multi-talented goofball who sings Disney songs on a regular basis.
This song perfectly displays all the subtleties of life, good and bad. It’s very powerful.

I wish little white lie never ended:(

I'm supposed to be writing an essay. If I don't get to finish I'll just write DARREN CRISS in big capital letters on it. Instant A+.
Darren is a angel purely gifted from god
It's my jam. Love it from the bottom of my heart. Can't believe it's real. If it's how angel sounds, I wouldn't be surprised. Love you so much
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Me: Just one song...
Me: (2 hours later) but...Darren!
Haha! That "Friends" joke tho :) I like that show...
I can't even describe in words how much I love this song
I absolutely love this song! And I love Darren!
He's supermegafoxyawesomehot!!
These lyrics are great
One does not simply sing better than Darren :)
starkidfan36 ha ha imma a LOTR fan as well

a goddamn METEOR
@@Draztikus Mamma mia!
“StarKidPotter.” Wow, this is old! (Still amazing, though. 😊)
This is my personality, passion, and life written in verse and put to music. Thanks Darren for always understanding.
I think Darren, Dylan and Brosenthal all have great voices, they're just different.
the more I listen to this song, the more I like it :)
Hes still got F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing and Ross Geller =)
Darren Criss is perfect.
Amazing Darren Criss as usual
I died listening to this ............. I love you Darren . Oh and thanks for saving my life ...
I feel like he’s implying that he doesn’t have legs and I don’t have arms.
He has come so far!:')
Someone needs to make a karaoke version! Not that I don't enjoy singing with Darren.
So under-rated
One word; magical
God I love his voice
This song is the reason I feel in love with Darren.
0:56 My god I love Darren. This is a reason why XD Friends references!
I don't think it was a friends reference. This is from Little White Lie and I think those are characters from the show. Unless it is then sorry-
@@sunshinesolace3540 Nah, it is a Friends reference.
If you never saw the tv show F.R.I.E.N.D.S you had a miserable youth !! This is the best tv show in the whole world
He has a very tuneful whistle :3
I'm DEFINITELY in love
My sweet little boy is the cutest little man on earth! Awww, I love him so much! He's my little sweetie.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. reference. And I thought he couldn't get much more awesome. :smh: I love him with a passion that consumes me.
1 person was rocking so much out they missed the like button.
erm he's loved in Glee too- he's happy in Glee and it's making him very famous. I love him in Starkid too and it's clear he loves that but he cant just do that forever.
I could listen to Darren whistle all day
Darren criss Rules!!!
i really wish there was a LOVE button :)
Sorry for the 8 years later reply but same
love darren soo much!
love it
and darren
I'm really in love with that song :)
Oh my gosh thank you!! The minute I can I'm going to buy it(:
no that is Darren whistling , says so in the credits of LWL
*late*
I think that Brant Cox is one of the best, too. He's up there with Dylan and Brian in my opinion.
I love it.
Oh my gosh, if you've heard Lauren live recently (I went to London Leakycon and saw her) then trust me, she's incredible live. (admittedly yeah, not as well as the others but now I'm just insane about her voice which is why I mentioned her. :P)
i love this song im using it 4 my next audition its amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing its totaly awesome
I love him so much
This song is so addicting!
This is the song where everyone comments about how much they love darren... The song where i comment "i'm glad you still think..."
Same here. This man/woman is a legend
It's a reference to the television show, Friends. Joey, Ross, and Chandler are the names of the characters.
He can Do Both and be Totally Awesome! >w
Love it. my second favorite Darren song, (First? The muse, obviously :P )
Yes Darren, we are still in love. Nothing's ever gonna change that!
As much as I disagree with you, I just felt like this had to be done...
DAMN THAT G.L.E.E!! THEY'RE ALWAYS MAKING TWISTED ABOMINATIONS OF EVERYTHING!! *Wink*
I love when he says Joey~~~~
It's like, "Guys. Come on. I've been waiting years. Can you please just make a second season so I don't die from suspense?"
i just love him
6 Dislikes? Thanks Hermoine!
Huh...after reading this entire comment thread I love you too.
LOVE this
you can buy an ebook called 'the bully book' that is a book about after LWL season ending. The hardback is released December 26th 2012 :)
Lol I love Matt!
adorable ;
L
this has always been one of my favorite starkid songs, but I think it was actually wrtten by his brother.
Dear Darren Criss, iloved u & u were pretty much perfect . Then u made a friends referrence.... And now i KNOW that i lve u & that ur perfect . Stay golden-333
FRIENDS REFERENCE AAAAAHHH
FREINDS REFRENCE OMG!!
Where'd you get the mp3?
Did Darren wrote this ? I just have a 'jealous' feeling that this song is for Mia....:)
i don't know how long darren's known mia but i know he did write it and this song was on Little White Lie which he and his friends made like in 2007 or something. it's such a great song isn't it! i can't get it outta my head... and the whistling at the end! it isn't enough that he's a great musician, songwriter, singer etc but to subtly add in a whistle bit... too good.
I think he wrote it when he was going out with Julia
He met Mia in 2008, so nope. Not about her.
I do to
I officially love you.
...This song...
Yes ^^
I really wish they made a LWL Season 2
Starkid have said that they aren't going to do a season 2. But they did say what happened to everyone, I'm pretty sure that Duder and Tanya or whatever her name is got together, Sami and Kevin got together and Toby got real friends. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the gist of what happened
Toby gets friends lmao
I'm pretty sure that in the end it's not whistling but some kind of flute ;)
Like for the Friends reference!
theres a place for you right here in my arms!
It'd break by all of Darren's fans(:
or maybe a omg i absolutly love him button
Ahh, I've never seen it.
Oh gosh. I'm sorry but you need to put Clark in there somewhere. And Lauren needs to be up there if you've heard her recently?

I want to learn the guitar so I can play this song
Agreed. Dftba? :D
me 2!!!!
*~guitar~* XD
Yes, but katherine9997 already said that. "...it's very obvious that you're not referring to happy when you say gay."
Honestly i wish they would but so many characters wouldnt be in it.
I was going to ask them for the rights to create a season two with my own friends replacing them but i dont think theyd let me
Je ne comprend pas le rapport entre les couplets et le refrain??? (sorry I write in french cause I don't know how to say it in english)
Ninie _d&c c'est n'importe quoi
Ok :)
