He is just so angry. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen him put so much of his heart and soul into any of his songs before. And when he holds out that note it’s like he’s screaming. Like he is in so much physical and emotional pain that he just can’t hold it in anymore. And then he starts sounding like he’s going to actually cry. Not like in Glee, where Blaine knew it was possibly the end of he and Kurt’s relationship, but like he is so frustrated and upset. He can’t do what he wants to do and he doesn’t know how to handle it anymore so he just… let’s it all go.
I mean, this is Darren’s trademark song. “You guys are my teenage dream” and any time he plays it, he plays it because of us, for us. But now, now he’s playing it for him. He needs to get it all out and singing this song is the only way he knows how to.
It’s the only way he has.

If I Needed You - Mumford and Sons, live on NPR’s World Cafe (9/28/2012)
My little inside tidbit on this: They actually weren’t planning on playing that song. but David (the host) requested it because Marcus was noodling with the song during soundcheck…and even though Marcus admitted they barely knew the song, they played it for the set.
Marcus flubbed the lyrics while soundchecking…the “Loop and Lil agree she’s a sight to see” line. When they attempted it the first time during the actual session, Marcus got the lyrics correct…but put the line in the first verse instead of the second and was like “Ahhhh, I still fucked it up!” :D This version is the second go round…and you can kind of hear him smiling in the song when he does get the lyrics correct. :)Reblogging my own post because EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR HOW AMAZING THIS COVER IS
