By:	Hey Monday
Sung by:	Dalton Academy Warblers
Solos:	Kurt and Blaine
Place:	2011 Midwest Regional Championship
Episode:	Original Song

Candles by Hey Monday! is featured in Original Song, the sixteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Blaine and Kurt as a duet during Regionals, with the rest of the Warblers singing backup.

Blaine chooses the song because it is very "emotional," and that he mostly wants to sing with Kurt just so that he can "spend more time with him" which leads to them kissing for the first time. Before the performance, Kurt admits to being nervous because it is the first time he has ever performed a solo in front of a competition audience. Despite expecting criticism from Blaine for being nervous, he assures Kurt that he finds it "adorable." Along with Raise Your Glass, this wins The Warblers second place at Regionals.

It is originally performed by Hey Monday! from their debut studio album, Hold On Tight. A revamped and demo version is also featured on their second EP of the same name.
