This will always be my favorite version of this song!
+Corley May MINE TOO!!!!
Mine, too!
Good god there are things I love about all versions: Aaron's angelic voice, Jeremy's humor, and now Michaels child-like excitement...NOW I REALLY DO WANT TO RUN AWAY WITH ALL THREE OF YOU!!!!!!!
Unlike most performances I've seen of this song, Arden acts the character and really brings out a new depth in the song.
Its so fantastic how all of these different performers sing this song, but each take a different approach on how to perform it. I cannot decide which one is my favorite because they are so different dramatically. The song by itself is so beautifully written.
Michael Arden is an adorable little button and I love him
That little head nod he does at 2:04 is my reason for living
i can't even explain how many times i have listened to this.
Oh Michael, who wouldn't run to the end of the earth with you! Irresistible!
this guy has something beautyful about him but i can't just define what...
This is quite possibly the most charming thing I have ever experienced. Thank you.
Usually I'm not a fan of a singer who takes SO many artistic liberties with their phrasing, changing of melodic lines, making some lines spoken that should be sung, etc -- but this performance is so heartfelt and well thought out that I couldn't help but love it. It's also a beautiful arrangement of the song. Bravo. Really beautiful. And Michael has a beautiful voice.
i've watched this what feels like a hundred times, and i'm still not tired of it. just...awesome.
i could watch this all day
Excellent performance; both the pianist and singer/actor are incredible. So musical and passionate.
Mark Taper Forum in LA. I saw the show several weeks ago and loved it so much I went back to see it again last weekend. Michael is AMAZING!
best version
im an aspiring actress and seeing performances like this just inspires more than anyone could imagine. The truth, honesty, and openness that Michael displays touches me how I wish all the performances I see did. Talent is beautiful.
Wow Wow Wow...I share this in my FB wall every year, still wows me....
That was so so beautiful. I t really wasn't acting, it was so natural and heart breaking. Just brilliant.
i'm in love with this man.
Ok, so Michael Arden just raised the bar of awesome for himself...
And Kerrigan and Lowdermilk are made of WIN.
I just fell in love... his acting... i just... wow....give me a minute to process that...
I cry everytime I listen to this song.
Brilliant....song...and singer...amazingly incredible!!!!
I'm madly in love with my best friend. I can't be with her, and I try not to let myself entertain the idea. Until I hear this song. I see us holding hands on the coast somewhere. Anywhere. I imagine kissing her softly as the sun goes down. And for these four minutes, I know what happiness is. That is the definition of a beautiful song.
Just gorgeous. I heard David Boys sing this at Barre on Thursday. A gorgeous song beautifully sung by Mr. Arden.
When ever I hear Michael sing this song I always get chills.. And start to cry. Hes so fantastic. I love the ending of this version. Such a great singer performing an beautifully intoxicating song!
This is my favorite versions, even out of the different ones of Michael
this is so beautiful, michael arden has a way of acting so brilliantly. between this and bare, he's one of my favorite guys in mt.
THis is the most beautiful perormance of this song I've ever seen and heard...he just can't be compared to anyone, because he...god, he's Michael Arden...and I loved him as Peter in Bare!!!!!!
This version is so good omg
I seriously find myself sighing every single time I listen to this song, and I think I've listened to it literally 30 times already within today.
I think his speaking half the song is exactly what gives it it's power. I absolutely love what he has to say. It's exactly how I feel about the love of my life. Bravo.
i just saw michael last night in pippin the musical. he is beyond amazing. he has such a bright career ahead of him!!!
Goodness. First I really love his pre-sound like on "ride". and second I really like his acting and how expressive his face is. WOW. Really believable.
it's so gorgeous. just so simply breathtaking
I like how he goes form being a fun funny person at the start and just snaps into character.
This song always gives me chills. Micheal Arden is amazing!
Incredible. Michael is love!!!
Michael OWNS this song. I can't hear anyone else perform it without an echo of his version in my head. But then again, that happens whenever Michael sings any song.
The emotion he puts into his singing is astounding. He really lives the part and thats rare in music these days.
This song is SO VERY BEAUTIFUL - and Michael Arden's performance is so touching and real wth emotion that this clip has become an addiction for me...thanks to K&L for such a lovely song!!
This has got to be one of the most unexpectedly romantic songs that I've ever heard...
And now he’s a Tony Award winning director. ❤ He’s a national treasure… Michael, you are so loved.
i agree..I keep falling in love with this guy!
this song is so amazing to me :) always hoping someone will sing this song to me. no one will ever understand why this song always brings me to tears...
I couldn't help but smile the entire time, so emotional
I'm speechless, that was incredible.
Goosebumps....amazing!
Really I can't even speak at the moment. You had me at.... I'm not good with words. Bravo. I am getting married in 2 months and I will have my first dance with my husband to the song, his name is Sam... thank you.
He nailed the emotion on the head! Fantastic performance and one that I based my version of the song off of! Michael is such a magnificent story teller and its all in his eyes! Wonderful job!
simply beautiful. such an amazing talent
beautiful. he does performs this song the best out of all of the covers. he is amazing.
I love his performance and his boyish like ways suit the song perfectly. I dont know if it's just me, but i always find myself wanting to give him a hug at the end of the song :)
First saw Michael at Barbra Streisand's concerts in Europe, then THRILLED to have him literally 3 feet away from me singing during the LA production of "Pippin" at the Mark Taper Forum. AMAZING. What a beautiful voice and a beautiful performer!!
Oh my god. I loved Michael Arden before, but I think this seals the deal.
that was absolutely stunning.
I personally think that Michael's is the best take on this but its Jeremy Jordan's version that really makes me want to run away with him
mesmerizing.
absolutely beautiful.
makes me cry. why is michael arden not a bigger broadway star? and why wasn't easter rising more of a success? this man has TALENT and i feel it doesn't get recognized nearly as much as he deserves.
This is amazing. And so very true.
I love when he shakes his head and says "I'm in love with you" It brings me to tears. Sooo amazing.
A heart-rending performance, it is so cute whe he sings.
I can't do this. He creates such an adorable character that is so mild and quiet, but so in love. And the end, after he belts the high note, he has this look on his face that is like 'Whoa...calm down. What are you doing?" and then the he looks down. I WANT ONE! UGH!
ON REPEAT >>>>>> 0:47
this is brilliant. period.
He has so much control with what his face does. It makes the song that much more incredible. I'm amazed every time I watch this. Dear lord haha. LOOOVE it
He bought so much reality to it.
You're my biggest fan I'm obsessed with your voice i love musical theatre can't stop watching you
This is my favorite version of this song. He just makes it so beautiful and cute!
this is such a sweet version of this song. if he sang this to me, i'd run away with him.
I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE the little nod he does after saying run away with me at the end... sooo cute :) i WISH i had a voice like that
wow, the committment. excellent performance. hope to see more of this guy!
He makes my heart smile. :]
he broke my heart. he is fantastic and is destined for a bright future on the stage :)
i cant stop watching this =]
I watched this video for the first time a couple of years ago and I have yet to see a performance of this song that is as moving and so full of emotions as Michael's version. (Matt Doyle's and Aaron Tveit's are vocally strong but does not come close to touching this emotionally.) Not only Michael an amazing singer, he is a fine actor as well. When you watch this, you feel like he's singing just to you. And for four minutes, we are all Sams and we want to run away with him.
AH! So good. I love this song and I LOVE Michael Arden.
This is my favorite thing on the internet.
Please post more Michael Arden ...he's great!
I love how simple and intimate this version is - utterly believably and captivating. Who wouldn't be swept off their feet? :-)
thats what makes it the best. the little things.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to run away with Michael. hahaha!
Aw, he's just such a good performer. So in tune with human emotion. What a joy to watch and listen to.
OH MY GOSH his facial expressions were so absolutely PERFECT, that was amazing, absolutely fantastic! ♥
His acting is brilliant.
i love muichael arden ! and this song is amazing
i've seen so many guys perform this song. michael arden is by far the only one i've seen who has been able to capture the essence of the character and communicate truthfully through the lyrics. maybe his voice isn't perfect, but singing requires so much more than just a beautiful voice.
Each time I watch this it gets more and more amazing! Michael is SO incredibly talented!
I canNOT watch this without saying "Wow!"
he is amazing. he makes bare what it is.
I love this song so much. His acting is perfect. Great!
EXACTLY!whenever he sings or acts he fully takes on the character.i mean even if your not watching his peformance,just listening to it,it can bring you to tears.then you watch him and you cant keep yourself together.this is just purely beatiful,and so is he.i mean this in the least fangirly,but most matter-of-factly sense:
Michael Arden is a god.
im dutch so i always have to listen to a song more times when its sung english, but when he sings a song i understand every word right away, he tells the story really good and his diction is amazing!
LOVE THIS. I did this for my Solo Musical Theater piece for speech. Absolutely loved performing it.
Oh Michael I will run away with you anytime! Haha my crush forever❤😊
i'm so filled with happiness from watching this, i've watched it 6 times in a row and i'm like about to cry its so beautifulllll
so so perfect!
This is such an amazing performance and song. I wish I could give it over 5 stars!
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard in my life. Thank you so much.
