What's the best way to end this month? Blog about Darren Criss of course.
So tonight the lovely Darren Criss was on The Cleveland Show and he played an adorable church choir boy named Hunter. I just get giddy thinking about it. :D
Here are the video clips of him on the show. He is so wonderful and I am beyond in love with him. He is a constant reminder of the beautiful things in this life. And I thank him.
Clip 1- Darren and Fergie singing "Jesus Walks"
Clip 2
Clip 3
All I have to say is that in any form, cartoon or human, Darren Criss is the sun coming over the horizon.
So I've been hearing some amazing songs lately and for some reason I hear ones that are perfect for my wedding reception. (I know, I know, I'm such a girl) So here's what I've compiled so far.
I should thank Glee for singing these amazing songs and bringing them to my attention. *Watch, the entire CD is going to be covers done by the Glee cast*

13. I Like It by Enrique Iglesias
14. Elephant Love Medley from the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
15. I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz
16. Marry Me by Train
That's all I've come up with so far. I can't wait to go back and see this in a few years. :D I wonder what my engaged self with think. haha.
Kurt and Blaine are the love of each others lives. Blaine even said so.
Bright and shining Klainebows are streaking across the sky in every direction.
Those two inspire me to believe in love. They show me that love is beautiful. I hope to one day find someone who I know right away is the love of my life. But I hope even more that I can tell it to them straight up and not be afraid. Kurt and Blaine are the epitome of what love should be. They are honest, loving, caring and true to each other. They have a love that I want to have.
On that note, I dedicate these songs to Klaine and to the love that I one day hope to have. :D
My Love is Your Love
The Only One
It's like technicolor in black and white
I felt like a boxer without a fight
A night in Vegas without all the lights
Before you
I could only see as deep as the skin
Before you
I never thought I could let anyone in
Before you
I was waiting for my life to begin
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
My walls are falling and my white flag is high
I've surrendered to the feeling inside
I look in to your eyes and rewind
Before you
I could only see as deep as the skin
Before you
I never thought I could let anyone in
Before you
I was waiting for my life to begin
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
(You are) Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
(You are) Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
Ryan Murphy deserves a medal. He knows exactly what he's doing. I bow down to that man for I am not worthy. I am of course beyond gleeked about this weeks episode.
~Duran Duran. Darren Criss. Matt Bomer. Sheer Genius. Nuff Said~
Their voices mesh so well together. They sound amazing. This episode was so lovely. :D
I'm so glad Glee is back. My life my sense again. :D
This boy never ceases to amaze me. He just gets me, ya know? He doesn't know it but he is constantly doing things that make me fall in love with him all over again.
What is it this time you ask?
DC loves Avatar: The Last Airbender! And not only does he love Avatar
but he also is pumped to see the spin off series, The Legend of Korra. I am a very happy
girl. :D
So the group Fun is officially my new favorite band. Their sound is so unique and refreshing and not to mention that the lead singer, Nate Ruess, has some major pipes. Seriously, he has got extreme talent. Bravo.
Oh and for those of you who don't know who Fun is I'm sure you've heard their single "We Are Young" which is lovely. Nate Ruess is originally from the band The Format and after they broke up he formed Fun with Andrew Dost from Anathallo and Jack Antonoff fromSteel Train.
So now you know who they are. I just recently bought their 2nd album Some Nights (First album is Aim and Ignite) and every song on it is breathtaking. Not to mention the lyrics are so thoughtful and interesting. Fun is just so different and I just can't get over their sound. I love it. Obviously.
Their title track "Some Nights" is officially my new favorite song. :D Enjoy.
"Some Nights"
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
Well, this is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies...ahhh...
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
