Ain't No Crying - Derivakat [Dream SMP original song] 

Lyrics: What am I fighting for Whose side am I on Lost everything in the crossfire Witness the wreckage at dawn Say it enough and you start believing They can tell you that it’s righteous Keep your chin up in the crisis Say it enough and you start believing In the glory, in the justice They will drill it into your head Ain’t no crying ‘till the war’s done Ain’t no crying ‘cause the fighting’s just begun No crying ‘till the sun comes ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up In the division, make your decision Every shoulder you’ve leaned on is the one you will turn on Burn it to ashes, watch as it crashes Nobody left to forgive or forget Say it enough and you start believing They can tell you that it’s righteous Keep your chin up in the crisis Say it enough and you start believing In the glory, in the justice They will drill it into your head Ain’t no crying ‘till the war’s done Ain’t no crying ‘cause the fighting’s just begun No crying ‘till the sun comes ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up What am I fighting for What have I done What am I dying for What have we all become Make you live through the pressure Make you live through the pain Sacrifice you for nothing We’re still dying in vain

"Every shoulders you've leaned on is the one you will turn on." Tommy:And i took that personally.

but HE'S IN YOUR BED and I'M IN YOUR *PREMIERE CHAT*

“Ain’t no crying till the sun comes up” “This is my sunrise, Tommy”

"Theres no point in anything if you've lost hope" -TommyInnit

when you realize the background singers are all her:

Derivakat: the only person who can bust out hit after hit in the span of maybe 4 months without a single miss

Someone: the butterfly effect is not real Alexander Hamilton: *Observe*

"Sacrifice you for nothing..." Hits harder after Sam killed Ranboo for...yeah nothing. Dream didn't give a shit. The Syndicate did, though.

"Every shoulder you’ve leaned on is the one you will turn on." is going to be my high school yearbook quote

"Whose side am I on?" Ranboo: You shouldn't *be* on one in the first place!

OMG SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE A WHOLE ASS MOVIE AND THIS SHOULD BE THE END SONG

Hits diffrent after Wilbur's "this is my sunrise"

This sounds like a song that would be played in the background of a movie trailer, it’s great

Song is an absolute bop, but when you really listen to the lyrics you can hear how tragic it is. These people haven't had the time to cry and mourn because it's been one war after another, a tragedy following yet another. Picking sides to fight on are all they know and they cant afford to cry over their decisions. Amazing song by the way! Really sets the mood for the DSMP

this shit STILL SLAPS and nobody can convince me otherwise

I love how all of the songs are written for the SMP but also can be easily used for the real life to: war, death, tyranny, forgetting, etc. Its just so beautiful and tragic at the same time. Derivakat is an absolute genius and wonderful being we probably needed but definetly didnt deserve

Ain’t no crying Something tells me it will make me cry

This should be the song for the animatics about the revolution... this is incredible!

"What have we all become" hit me so hard. By now there are no good or innocent people on whole SMP. Like everyone took part in some some kind of revolution, war or became literal monsters, keen on murdering or torturing

Techno wouldn't want us shedding tears, he'd want us to shed blood o7

*How many talented people are in this fanbase*

"Every shoulder you’ve leaned on is the one you will turn on" *Eret has entered the chat*

"War is war. Nothing changes. Weapons fight. Men and women lose lives. Buildings destroyed. Resources depleted. The point of war is to show and stop the other side who is better. But in truth... Its pointless... Lives lost... For nothing.."

Even outside of the Dream SMP fanbase, this song provides a great commentary on what it's like to be a soldier, led to fight by propaganda. You walk a mile in a soldier's shoes with this song!

Imagine a derivakat and Sad-Ist colab... I'm already excited (well aged comment moment)

This song should be used by SADist when she makes the animation of the fight of the red egg guys vs techno, philza, dream (maybe tommyinnit). But this song is pog champ

What I love about this song is that it works outside the context of the Dream SMP. Hell, i'd argue it works even better, it sounds like it's written as an anti-war song more than anything from the Dream SMP. This could easily fit in any time period with war present, a disillusioned soldier growing more and more cynical realizing the futility of their efforts.

I can imagine SAD-ist, Derivakat and EvanMCGaming collabing SAD-ist - Animation Derivakat - Music EvanMCGaming - Narration MAN THAT WILL BE REALLY EPIC

This sounds like Niki's character, in the Manberg vs. Pogtopia war she didn't know what to do or who to trust, but she kept believing in Wilbur, links to "keep your chin up in the crisis" but Wilbur still blew up Manberg, which is the "Every shoulder you've leaned on is the one you will turn on." Which is what she kind of did. The last two verses link with this in a way I do no know, but they do.

Imagine this in a SAD-ist animatic....that would be very pog

Dear Technoblade, The war is over and we have finally shed our tears some tears still fall and many still come to my eyes. The memories you created will remain here and we will make sure.... that the Legend of the Blade never dies. Thank you Sincerely, Your Fans

I’m sorry, but for what just happened, I am crying before the sun came up. I can’t not. The war is done so now they may rest, and we can finally shed our tears for the fallen. RIP Technoblade. He will forever be in our hearts. Blood for the blood god, now and forever. You will be missed Techno. But now it is your time to lay the sword down and rest. For the war has finally ended. You won. The blade will never die.

If SAD-ist and Derivakat ever had a crossover, this song will fit with SAD-ist's animation style. Edit: This aged so well.

Ya know this song could represent literally everything on the SMP but I think it especially represents Purpled. "What am I fighting for? Whose side am I on?" If you watch Purpled's perspective of the revolution, you can see he is very unsure. He doesn't understand what the sides are fighting for, and he doesn't know who to support. "Lost everything in the crossfire. Witness the wreckage at dawn." Purpled didn't 'lose everything' but after the war, Mexican L'Manburg began and that went right over Purpled's base. He lost his land basically. And he saw the wreckage at dawn since his front yard is L'Manburg. "Say it enough and you start believing. They can tell you that it's righteous, keep your chin up in the crisis." Karl kept telling Purpled that they were in the right, that they were the good guys. He didn't understand so he would believe anyone if they told him they were the good guys. "Ain't no crying 'cause the fighting's just begun." He watched as L'Manburg got into its many many many battles. He watched as Mexican L'Manburg got bombed. He watched as TNT rained from the sky from the obsidian grid. No matter what happens Purpled has to watch it over and over again. "Burn it to ashes, watch as it crashes. Nobody left to forgive or forget." He watched as it L'Manburg took its final stand. And after it was all said and done, no one was there except an enormous crater. No one was there to fight anymore. And just like that Purpled was left alone, on the edge of the wilderness. "What am I fighting for? What have I done? What am I dying for? What have we all become?" Once again, not know what side to pick and fight for. Watching as everyone descends into madness, fighting over stupid objects or actions. Of course, I know it wasn't meant for Purpled as he is more of a minor character rn. But I loved the song and started to think about it in more depth. :)

I wanted to hear this song again, and I was like “Where’s the original, I don’t want a dream smp animatic” I didnt even realize a song this good was made for a fan animation

Who agrees that, if the dsmp ever became a tv show, this should *definitely* be its theme?

Just a reminder before it premieres, if you wanna play the song over and over again instead of giving views to someone who made a loop just look Derivakat's video! This way she'll get the views. If you don't know how to do it just right click the video and choose loop, it'll play the song until you right click and unloop!

This hits hard after Tommy’s death Edit: Even more now that he’s back

"but the thing about this world tommy, is that the only universal language is violence." -Technoblade

"Say it enough and you start believing" is just mathematics in 7 words

I'm hyped for the song, here before the premier! Nobody dare dislike this video before you've heard it! (or after for that matter)

This could actually be mainstream and people wouldn't be confused wtf how is this so good?

" Every shoulder you leaned on is the one you will turn on " We stand for shubble, not wilbur.

Came here after 3 years and still remember half the lyrics. AHHHH such nostalgia to the SMP golden days and watching streams during the lockdown

This song doesn't just describe the Dream SMP, it describes the entire speculative political thriller genre... which is a really weird thing to type, since I've never tried to give the Dream SMP a genre before, but that seems to fit.

did I spend 2 hours trying to do the 'what am I dying for?' riff? yes. was it successful? define successful.

This gave my grandfather nostalgia, especially the lyrics "Witness the wreckage at dawn". He fought in the Vietnamese war and lost a leg and an arm.

Over two whole years. The first song that introduced me to this channel. So many wins, so many losses, and yet... we're still here. Nothing will *ever* force us to stop doing the hobbies we love most. I'm so very proud of everyone that's still here. You all are so strong, and I'm proud of you all for pushing through whatever has made you struggle, and I hope that you will all have amazing lives. I know this may be a bit sappy, but just know that there are still people you haven't met that love and care about you. Cherish those that you know, and shove as much negativity out of your life as you can. Your war may not have started yet, but just know that you are all loved by me, even if I don't know who you are. I wish you all as much positivity as possible. You can win your wars. I know it.

the scarf on the grave marker hits different after march 1st...

" *Every shoulder you have leaned on is the one you will turn on* " Damn, that hurts

Ngl this would pop off in a sadist animationnnn nglll

'' To prove youre good side, you have to show youre bad side first. You need to have Power to show people youre good side. And to get Power you Will need swords, land and discipline... " -Wilbour Soot (2020-2020)

AINT NO CRYING TIL THE WARS DONE- I love this song qwq

man. she just hits everything right on point. how tired they are with the constant wars, how they don’t have the time to show weakness, the manipulation of Dream, the way that there is constant betrayal because no one’s beliefs line up with anyone else’s. and LET ME TELL YOU, THIS SONG IS SO WELL MADE!!!!

"Sacrifice you for nothing" is such a simple but great line cos it fits both those who were loyal and those who were traitors. Tommy wouldn't sacrifice L'Manberg for anything but Fundy would sacrifice it for literally no personal gain

No crying? *sniff* Is that possible right now?

“Say it enough and you’ll start believin” that made me think of the quote “it was never meant to be”. Because of how many people say it

She's so fast at making songs her last song was released just 2 days ago! You're amazing Derivakat

I loved this song even before I learned what the DSMP was. Heard it on a Spotify playlist and immediately loved it

It reminds me of 3rd Life. "What am I fighting for?" Is because they are just fighting. "Whose side am I on?" Is for those who have to pick a side. "Lost everything in the cross fire, witnessed the wreckage at dawn." Is how they keep losing lives and are fighting for stuff (example: the cows, they killed them all and suffered the result.) "Say it enough and you start believing." They believe it is for good. "Keep your chin up in the crisis." Stay positive through the death. "Ain't no crying till the war's done." They don't have time to cry.

You cannot convince me that this song is not about Ranboo. "What am I fighting for? Who's side am I on?" Ranboo didn't pick a side in the initial war. "Lost everything in the crossfire. Witnessed the wreckage at dawn." Everything Ranboo owned was blown up with L'Manberg. "Say it enough and you start believing." All the signs in the panic room and all the times he tells himself that he isn't the bad guy. "In the division, make your decision. Every shoulder that you've leaned on is the one you will turn on." Ranboo has stated that he has (unintentionally) betrayed everyone that trusted him at one point or another, and it is in the memory book. "What am I fighting for? What have I done?" He doesn't want to take a side because he doesn't want to be against or hurt anyone. Also, his memory problems and the fact he often can't remember the things he's done. You can't convince me that this song isn't about Ranboo. EDIT: I KNOW IT ISN'T ABOUT RANBOO, STOP TELLING ME THAT. I WAS EXPRESSING MY THOUGHTS YALL

A *LOT* of headcannons in this comment section missed a lot of this song. This song doesn't only point to a specific character, it points to all of L'manberg and it's leaders, as well as the Pogtopian leaders. The lyric "Say it enough and they'll start believing" "If you say that its righteous" and "They'll drill it into your head" is mostly referencing to the Leaders aka: Wilbur and Schlatt who manipulated their own men who trusts them the most, covering up their main personal priority with "its the for the right cause". This is all in both Tommy and L'manberg's point of view when their own Leaders proved that they weren't thinking for them but for the Leaders only. The Lyrics " Make you Live through the pain" " Sacrifice you for nothing" "We're still dying in vain" is referenced to the people of L'manberg when they were all down and losing hope after the First War, even if they lived through death and destruction, they know they're still gonna die somewhere soon because of betrayal and manipulation from their so called "Leaders". Btw, my personal look through this is that I think the Anarchists/Syndicate should take out all causes of this. Mainly because the Eggpire is one massive exposed sheet of manipulation.

always find myself coming back to this one, an absolute masterpiece :)

The war is now done… it was a draw… o7 Technoblade

I feel like the DreamSMP members can fit for certain lines, for certain parts of their stories. Tubbo: What am I fighting for (It just fits-) Eret: Whose side am I on (They don't know who to side with, Wilbur or Dream) Tommy: Lost everything in the crossfire (The discs, friendships, much more.) Fundy: Witness the wreckage at dawn (He saw everything happen) Wilbur: Say it enough and you start believing Tommy: They can tell you that it’s righteous Tubbo: Keep your chin up in the crisis Wilbur: Say it enough and you start believing Eret: In the glory, in the justice Fundy: They will drill it into your head Wilbur: Ain’t no crying ‘till the war’s done Tommy: Ain’t no crying ‘cause the fighting’s just begun Tubbo: No crying ‘till the sun comes Fundy: ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Wilbur: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Tommy: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Tubbo: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying Fundy: ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Eret: In the division, make your decision (He had to choose, Be the King or Stay with L'manburg) Eret: Every shoulder you’ve leaned on is the one you will turn on (He chose to turn on his friends) Fundy: Burn it to ashes, watch as it crashes (Fundy burning the flag) Wilbur: Nobody left to forgive or forget (Wilbur growing distant from everyone and slowly going insane) Wilbur: Say it enough and you start believing Tommy: They can tell you that it’s righteous Tubbo: Keep your chin up in the crisis Wilbur: Say it enough and you start believing Eret: In the glory, in the justice Fundy: They will drill it into your head Wilbur: Ain’t no crying ‘till the war’s done Tommy: Ain’t no crying ‘cause the fighting’s just begun Tubbo: No crying ‘till the sun comes Fundy: ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Wilbur: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Tommy: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying, no Tubbo: Ain’t no crying (no crying) no crying Fundy: ‘Till the sun comes up, ‘till the sun comes up Wilbur: What am I fighting for (In the Button Room) Philza: What have I done (Holding the sword, covered in blood) Tommy: What am I dying for (Already on his last life) Tubbo: What have we all become (It just fits okay-) Eret: Make you live through the pressure (Being pressured into choosing, King or L'manburg) Dream Make you live through the pain (Should be obvious-) Technoblade: Sacrifice you for nothing (He's killed many many people) Wilbur: We’re still dying in vain (Pressing the button and blowing up L'manburg)

I just stalked all your dsmp songs and the harmonies in the chorus of this one THREW ME OFF GUARD! You have such a beautiful talent please keep sharing it 🥺❤️

This song fits a character in my DnD campaign _perfectly_ and I put it on every time I want to write for him so like, thanks! :D

"Make you live through the pressure Make you live through the pain Sacrifice you for nothing We’re still dying in vain" is such a raw ass group of lines I Can't.

How do people dislike this before it even premieres. Bruh you seeing the future or something?

No. Crying. I just can’t

We can’t stop crying 💔

*When you realize how lucky the dsmp members are to get this type of fanmade songs and art oh my godd*

"Every shoulder you have leaned on is the one you will turn on" is such a great quote for the smp. There have been so many personal conflicts between friends and betrayals and this line describes it perfectly

WAIT DERIVAKAT MADE THIS IVE BEEN HEARING THIS ALL OVER DIFFERENT EDITS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SOME RANDOM PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS SONG BUT ITS FROM OUR DERIVAKAT BRO IM SO PROUD OF THIS FANDOM DAMN

“Say it enough and you start believing” This fits Wilbur so well.

I'm going to be In school why must school exist-

I want to cry after tonight, Tommy was my major comfort character and now I'm here

He's an inspired a generation who'll pass down his legacy. Damn straight techno fans will be banding together wayy into the future. We'll make him a household name, cause heck he already is one. damn legend, thank you for changing my life technoblade - in ways you'll never now

My old man told me something that I still believe to this day. "Peace is only the short breaks between the wars." And he was damn right.

That fucking cross in the front aged like fine wine-

The last line hits alot differently after yesterday

This one song can be interpreted for almost any plot points in the dream smp that has happened or will happen in the future because this song perfectly portrays an antihero, which is the basis of all characters in the dream smp. No ones a hero or a villain, they are all right from their own perspective. So this song can represent any character in the smp for any plot point and it would be true, and this is why the dream smp is so entertaining.

WAIT GUYS HEAR ME OUT. A VIDEO WITH DERIVAKAT AND SAD-IST. I WOULD PAY TO SEE THAT TBH

this is literally a song sad-ist would use for an animatic... GIVE US THE COLLAB ALREADYY

I think they they should use her music in cannon scenes

I'm not even from fandom, I just love the vibe of these songs

Tried to come up with a DSMP musical idea, this is the idea I had for this song: L'manbur walks out first, strumming the baseline, with other characters walking onstage to deliver lines, e.g., Techno ("What am I fighting for?"), BBH ("Whose side am I on?") and so on. Dream himself delivers the "Make you live through the pressure, make you live through the pain" line, as dramatic spotlights go everywhere and focus on each character

you cannot convince me that this isn’t wilbur not only to himself but to those he once held dear (THIS IS SO GOOD BTW I- AAA)

This song kinda gives me The Score vibes (If you don't know who The Score is, it's a band (a really good band). I recommend go seeing some of their songs!)

UNDERATED CHANNEL

This is the first derivakat song I listened to and instantly became a fan

WOOO LETS GOO, CANT WAIT TO HEAR THIS SONG FULLY

Derivakay puts the music, SadIst puts the animation. Perfectly balanced as everything should be

This song is so nostalgic: I saw a video with an animatic with this song in it 2 years ago. I absolutely loved the song, found out it was by Derivakat, listened to all her dsmp songs and more and was obsessed with dsmp for the next 2 years, thank you so much Derivakat for making this. Now that the dsmp has ended all that comes to my mind is the saying; don't cry cause it's over, smile because it happened.

i feel like this song really represents Tubbo_ more than anyone because the only reason he fought in the Disk Wars was because of tommy and the fact that everything that he has built has been destroyed, he has showed little emotion during Wars or stressful situations.

Man. This song hits different following recent events.

here before the premiere and the weird people get here haha

I’d like to dedicate this song to my pet caterpillar I lost and spent an hour searching for while holding back tears in 2nd grade

One of the things I love about your songs is that they are great without context, I feel comfortable letting people hear them even though I am not comfortable with them knowing what fandoms I obsess over. Now I can obsess in quiet
