Now that I've listened to Come What May for about 100 times, I feel
like I can finally think logically about it. I was surprised that they
chose to go with the movie version instead of the other one, because
Blaine is singing more in this version but once again, RIB prove that
they know what the hell they're doing.
If we take in the context of the song in the movie, Christian is teaching Satine the song and trying to prove his love for her so to speak, which is reflected in Glee by Blaine. Also, the conversation just before CWM in Moulin Rouge is Satine trying to break up with Christian and Christian refusing to let her. Again, it's reflected in Glee with Kurt trying to downplay the make out and the sex and Blaine telling him that he knows that they will be together for a long time.
The song is Kurt's fantasy and while it makes sense that Blaine will be singing more in Kurt's fantasy, I think it also accommodates the fact that Kurt is "torn" about Blaine. He'll basically just stand there, listening to Blaine professing his undying love and contemplating whether he should join him or not. Kurt spends half the song trying to figure out if he has it in him to sing with Blaine which in a way, means that he has forgiven Blaine. Kurt joining Blaine in their wedding song refers to Kurt finally taking the final step in forgiving Blaine, which again is reflected by the fact that his first solo line is "I love you" which is the only part that was changed from the original song ( Chirstian is the one who says it first in the song which means that Blaine should have been the one saying it with Kurt echoing him, not the other way around) That holds a lot of weight because it's the very first time we hear Kurt saying I love you first. Also, cutting "until my dying day" from the end kinda makes sense because I think this is the moment Kurt comes out of his fantasy and realizes that this means that he still loves Blaine enough to forgive him.
The lyrics of CWM itself fits Klaine so much. The parts they both sing fits the situation perfectly. Blaine keeps saying how much he loves Kurt and promises to love him no matter what. Kurt joins in when he realizes that his life is perfect when Blaine is in it. He's a little timid and unsure in the beginning, with Blaine's voice being a notch about Kurt's, portraying his confidence that they belong together versus Kurt's doubt. Kurt's tone changes in "And there's no mountain too high", it becomes more sure. His voice soars in "Storm clouds may gather, stars may collide" which refers to them being pulled apart and broken, then we got to his first I love you. It's like he realizes that no matter what they went through, the trouble and the pain, he still loves Blaine and wants him.
There are some theories that this is Kurt's Blackbird moment, and while I certainly hope so, some of the upcoming songs indicate that they don't get back together after CWM. If Mamma Mia and Against All Odds are in context, then Kurt will start slowly realizing that he does want to give Blaine another chance, which will start with CWM but will take some time after because he's afraid of getting hurt again, while Blaine will despair that Kurt will never take him back, hence the live performance of Against the Odds. The only other time Darren sang live was the acoustic version of Teenage Dream which means a lot for Klaine so it makes sense that the second live performance is another song that is about Kurt. I certainly hope that they continue with the Moulin Rouge parallel and we get the CWM reprise when they get back together, just without the dying part.
