Darren sounds so emotional singing this (not that he never is amazing) just he's with his friends, his with Starkid and for a moment he's back where he first started, no Glee, just Starkid
Never noticed this before, but Brian Rosenthal's head totally gets crushed by everyone during that group hug. One minute his head is at Darren's side, and the next it's gone.
I feel for AJ in this video and the one in Days of Summer...having been in the pit orchestra at my school for a musical, I know how annoying it is when actors pull crazy tempo changes. It sounds great of course, but it is really difficult on the people trying to play instruments along with them. So great job AJ!!!!
I know how much Darren loves Glee, but being with all his Starkid friends and back where it all began and where home really is...and singing this song...I can't even describe my love for him. Also, he should take his shirt off...he spilled too much sexy on it ;)
cryingggggggggg he has such stage presence...but the best part was watching his friends watch him sing. i love it when all of the starkids are together :)
you can hear his voice shaking from "and I'm trying not to cry" all the way to the end. And Joey singing in the background. and the hug. I am shambles.
That hug at the end was just so... :') This song fits him with StarKid so well.This is his real home,not Glee or anywhere else.Right here,with these people that he loves so much.
I love that his hair isn't gelled down and that his face is scruffy. Darren will always be our Starkid. The one with the fro and the guitar. And we'll love him and all the other Starkids no matter where they go!
I love...Joey singing along; Darren clearly didn't know the hug was coming; Brian gives him the monkey hand on his hair at the end :) Thanks tons for sharing!
The way they're all staring at him the entire time, and how they sing with him, and the hug omg. It's obvious that they miss him and you can literally feel the love and no what are you talking about I'm not crying
The look of pride on Jaime's and Joey's faces are amazing. The group hug was totally awesome I love the friendship and love you see during it. Also the sigh and fake tear made me piss myself laughing. I love you Darren and all you starkids
I love how in all the songs you can hear the audience singing along, but in this one everyone was quiet listening to Darren. He killed it, BTW. I've always loved that song, it's so powerful. And NGL, that hug at the end made me cry!
oh god, if you look at Jamie's face throughout this video, she just has this look of pure amazement on her face. Like she, like the rest of us, can't believe how much Darren's grown and improved over these short few years
I'm so jelaous. I'd do anything to see them perform. Especially Darren. I love his voice! Unfortunately I live in Poland, thousands miles away from him. And I will never get a chance to meet him. :(
The thing is, this song never made me cry before, but watching it here? It's like it's Darren singing it, not Harry... I love how the other Starkids seem to be tearing up slightly too - this song has a new meaning methinks~ ;3
who knew the spell to ungell his hair was just ungellify?!?!?!?

I can't help but stare at Joey and Jaimie in the background...
This song always kills me... And the group hug in the end.... Stop guys :'(
And joey in the background, with teary eyes... Goodbye I'm dead
I think this is the most beautiful song ever. The way Darren sings it is just WOW
I knowwwww. He's incredible!
Can we just talk about how adorable Joey singing along in the background is?!?!
I love how evertime darren sung they just staired at him...😂👌
Stared*

To me that seems like the perfect song for all the Starkids.
Okay, so I may have started crying at the mass group hug at the end. I'm not ashamed of it.
+Flameswipe Yup. Still crying at the end.
Do you see Joe Walker grabbing Joe Moses during the hug omg
Same
I cry every time I watch this
Darren Criss, stop making me love you. Stop being ridiculously talented and damn sexy.
LOOK AT JOE GRABBING JOE IN THE GROUP HUG IM DEAD
This song is so Disney and amazing!
watching joey mouth the words to the song.
Awww group hugs are the best.
if you go back and watch a very potter senior year, a picture of the last hug in this performance hangs on the stage during the entire show.
I've also felt so alone and this song is so for me and my obession with hp. I can relate to the character in so many ways it's not even funny
Fancy meeting you here.
Kelsey Springer same fam. Same.
Same mate same
I feel you, girl
We can have a group hug
THAT GROUP HUG THO
There is a picture of the group hug in the background of AVPSY.
You can tell he really means what he is singing now because he is so happy with Starkid...
I feel for AJ in this video and the one in Days of Summer...having been in the pit orchestra at my school for a musical, I know how annoying it is when actors pull crazy tempo changes.

This is not “School appropriate”
Brolden just stroking Darren's head when they all go in to hug him. Oh, how I love Starkid.
Lets just highlight the fact that when they hug its a back ground picture to the stage when they are performing avpsy
cryingggggggggg
he has such stage presence...but the best part was watching his friends watch him sing. i love it when all of the starkids are together :)
Best. Group. Hug. Ever.
you can hear his voice shaking from "and I'm trying not to cry" all the way to the end. And Joey singing in the background. and the hug. I am shambles.
I just love how much they love each other.
the group hug at the end killed me!
I've seen this video countless times, but I start crying at that hug every damn time. Darren is first and foremost a StarKid
StarKid is Darren's home, and they're totally awesome
That hug at the end was just so... :')
This song fits him with StarKid so well.This is his real home,not Glee or anywhere else.Right here,with these people that he loves so much.
I love that his hair isn't gelled down and that his face is scruffy. Darren will always be our Starkid. The one with the fro and the guitar. And we'll love him and all the other Starkids no matter where they go!
I just want to go to Leakycon. And see Starkid. And enjoy their pure joy and excitement over being together. It's all I want.
I love...Joey singing along; Darren clearly didn't know the hug was coming; Brian gives him the monkey hand on his hair at the end :)
Thanks tons for sharing!

crying...
I love how Joey sings in the back the whole time. He seems so touched! :-)
There really hasn't been a time in which I've heard this song and NOT choked up and/or teared up. Such a wonderful song.
The look of pride on Jaime's and Joey's faces are amazing. The group hug was totally awesome I love the friendship and love you see during it. Also the sigh and fake tear made me piss myself laughing. I love you Darren and all you starkids
I truly love this song...shame he doesn't sing it more often at live shows...just so gorgeous! and the hug at the end....lessthanthree
I would love to have friends like them :') This is touching!
God he's such a performer. It's amazing.
I love how in all the songs you can hear the audience singing along, but in this one everyone was quiet listening to Darren. He killed it, BTW. I've always loved that song, it's so powerful. And NGL, that hug at the end made me cry!
I die a little inside everytime i hear this song its so beautiful and the raw emotion in his voice is incredible I love you Darren ♥
Aww! That group hug in the end was so cute! It made me cry just a little, because it shows how tight Starkid is.
Whoever marries Darren will be a lucky lady if he writes her a love song. He writes such beautiful music.
Darren: "Check this out." *sits down*
Darren is so hansome with the beard!!... and singing this song... and everything else he does!!
I love Jaime's little smile at the start of the song.
I love watching all the starkids mouthing the words along!
Joey singing in the background broke my heart...but in a very good way :)
tears. just. ugh.
i always thought that this summed up Harry's feelings perfectly. :)
I love how he went "ahh" *fake tear*
oh god, if you look at Jamie's face throughout this video, she just has this look of pure amazement on her face. Like she, like the rest of us, can't believe how much Darren's grown and improved over these short few years
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
Joey is just falling in love in the background
Darren in his natural habitat is a beautiful thing!
I can't not stop hearing this song it so fun and touching. darren you know how to entertain your audience.
Joey's face the entire song is just..... tears are literally trickling down my face right now ;-;
the group hug is the best thing on RUclips ever!
So much love in that room, on that stage. Watching this makes me want to go back in time and discover StarKid when it first came on!
This song makes me cry. I love it singing it cause that’s all I want. I feel so alone everywhere I go. All I want is to have a home.

The group hug gets me every time

The thing is, this song never made me cry before, but watching it here? It's like it's Darren singing it, not Harry...

I love how Julia and Joey are singing along!
Jaime is my favourite part of this video.

No matter how far he goes, or how famous he becomes, Darren will always have a home at Team Starkid

Because he wrote these songs. He was able to work to his advantage
Oh Darren! You are home with your starkids! Where you belong!! *is crying*
