[lilymaoas]

Jonathan Groff???? OMG nice



[monkey49278]

This must be one of the most loveliest songs I've ever heard. I teared up listening to it and now I can't stop. thank you :)

[AlyssaSquaredRocks]

the absolute best battery's down song! such an epic ending!

[KDMfanpage]

WHY IS KYLE DEAN MASSEY SOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING?

[fossegirl5678]

I forgot how beautiful this song/sequence is!

[viewofsaturday]

this song still makes me misty!

[itkapatanka]

nice Jake..you're almost as cute as my bf!!!

[srayj]

Jake and Co. you guys are incredible. I am addicted to this song now!

[yriaswife]

I watched this vid like a thousand times and now i recognize Jon Groff... :D love this song!!!

[rgraverson]

Who are the guys at 2:01 (Jay A Johnson maybe?) and 4:05 ?

[BroadwayNerd123]

@rgraverson at 2:01 that is Jay!!!

[Skeedbob]

gay



[kaighnyne]

@Skeedbob yeah, Jake is.

[h0neycrisp]

From the very first moment I watched him covering Party In The USA, I knew that no wrong could come from that boy... I was right! TBD is awesome!

[elphiegreen]

will there be bloopers for the 16th episode?

[elphiegreen]

was that jonathan groff at 4:29?????

[rgraverson]

@elphiegreen yep sure is!

[grandpianoalex89]

Jake, this STILL makes me sob every time. I love that is reprises "this is your life." I am so sad that this is over. :(. It has been such a big part of my life. I can't thank you enough for how much this series has done for me. <3.

[clooimx]

Ok so.. I totally didn't notice who was in this clip... but seeing Morgan Karr anf Jay Johnson dancing in the background made me smile.

Missing TBD terribly!

[worldwide156]

what was kyle dean doing at 2:22??

[worldwide156]

i <3 kyle dean massey!

[mymixedtape05]

i love that shoshana is in the background, rifffing.

:) my favorite.

[patebrisee]

RSO owns.

[billlangley0090]

where did that dread guy come from? Doesn't make sense for him to be in the final pose with the rest of them...

[frecklez0408]

@billlangley0090 The guy with dreads is Adam Wachter, the musical director for the show. He's in a lot of the outtakes and episodes from season one.

[billlangley0090]

Ok, now it makes sense :P

[GreenMusicGirl10]

That's Adam Wachter, he's the music coordinator for the show and although he hasn't had much screen time, he's a big part of TBD

[calialoha25]

LOL-ing all over the place with the line,"... and not be so f-ing judgy". ombj that's awesome.

[Junior113872005]

Obsessed

[HappyEmo643]

LOVE IT!! makes me wana get up and dance :)

[kenzamabob]

it's not a bad note, it's called harmony. It's supposed to be like that.

[Kelseylikessomething]

i really thought he was strait.

[ramltfaw]

The date he went on with the annoying chick in one of the first episodes was definitely confusing.

[hilld7291]

i love this song! it has so much heart! i can't wait to hear what's next for this cast/crew as well as all the composers/lyricists!

[reprisexmyrole]

I love that its a shot of Jay Armstrong Johnson on "Applause"

[SAfan33]

this is my new favorite song it's soo good

[Evolutionofbalance]

@rgraverson

awhh (: im happy for him!

[EricMilleganNAF]

I love how they do this with awesome TBD songs!!! Thanks Jake!!!

[animekohai]

there will come a day where i won't tear up during this song... i am grateful for the tears and the memories

[BroadwayBaby313]

favorite TBD song ever!!!! I've listened to it probably 75 times!!

[avalondreams]

Positively adore the "This is Your Life" bit that starts at 1:10 - so much passion there :D

<3 The Battery's Down and will miss it dearly.

[GhostTaps]

This is just so so good. I can't get over it. Congratulations and good luck!

[psiangel7]

love this song 2 bad the shows over hope u guys do something new asap

[rachdawgdiggitydawg]

i've watched this part of the episode so many times! i loooove it.

[ashiamalashia]

I would love if you released an album with all of the Battery's Down songs on it.

[thebatterysdown]

season 2 album is in the works!

[SurrenderTheSilence]

YESS. Thank god. I was hoping that you would still make one even though like the show's oer [I will cry at the last episode. D=]

[allybee10]

so excited for season 2 album! listen to season 1 all the time!

[cmbroadway]

@thebatterysdown Is it really!!??!!?? ")

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

Incase ya didn't know, there is a 1st season album on itunes.

I would love a second season album!

[cutekat0012345]

omg i love the batterys down

.all i can say is.

AMAZING

[CorruptionCertified]

its been fun

[toufupowa]

i can only imagine how many times you would have to film the elevator scene

[Evolutionofbalance]

is he actually gay?

[rgraverson]

@Evolutionofbalance

yes, he is now officially out

[Pintabiano]

What the hell I didn't subscribe to this.

[tessabeads]

you should have

[tomluvspatti]

god the show has really gone with a bang. This is probably the best song of both seasons and it makes me cry every time I hear it.

[ddubdawg]

I can't believe it's over

[ilikedurian]

So the moral is... all you need is love? Although I loved the feel-good song/dance number, this ending left too much unresolved and didn't make strong ties back to the central plot. What about his career as an actor? The episodes leading up to the finale, make it clear that Jake is still driven to pursue a life on stage. Yet this last episode would have you believe that all Jake wants out of life is love. It's cute, idealistic but oh so trite. Regardless this was a fantastic series. Thanks

[tessabeads]

I'm hoping for season three, someday...

[kaighnyne]

@ilikedurian did you see this entire episode? "Act Three" was all about how he's donw with disspaointing himself trying to make it big.

[ahveg]

looooooove it!

[kakashi1336]

I cant wait for the cd from this season to come out! The best songs from the entire series were in this season! :-D I'm going to miss this show so much.

[Happybunyoo]

soundtrack PLEASE! lol

[sararkay]

i loved those wedding vows and this song was the perfect ending! WAY TO GO TBD!

[SilmarilSam]

This is one of my favorite songs from the whole series!! Fantastic. Favorited :)

[viewofsaturday]

i just love this song SO MUCH. it gets stuck in my head, and its so beautiful, and has a great message!!!! :)

i especially love when pasek+paul harmonize. because, y'know, its pasek and paul. geniuses.

[clooimx]

HAHAH so agree!

[SUPNESS12]

im sorry i love this song but all i can think is wat were ppl thinking as they saw this and they were passing

[alainamonts91]

I am continuously reminded of how much the cast, crew, writers, directors, and just everyone outdid themselves on this episode.

[drby3]

does the short bride realize her blouse is breast wide open!!!!.....lol

[alexeidarling]

I just love everything about this song...it was a perfect way to end the series. Congrats on an amazing run...and CD soon?

[jeffaroche]

like the song. but the gay marraige totally ruined it. ugh. it even looked totally unnatural in this vid

[micathegreat1]

this is a BEAUTIFUL song i think its my favorite battery's down song ever...

[amandastec]

god i'm going to miss this!!! so incredibly amazing!

[KarlSolenoidIV]
