@@FantomTangents that line and Kima's "If we were that simple, I'd march out the door ... and give up the wish of what could hang been mine" retort are my two favorite moments in this.
I was not expecting to cry... No literally, I was just swaying to the lyrics and then the part where Kima said "If we were that simple, I'd march out the door" DESTROYED me
I love that the hardend one, Kima, is being so gentle with Alura while trying to tell her that she loves her. This is a beautiful song and i think you captured both of them so well. Their frustrations with the dragons, their duty to the world, and not being able to tell each other what they have wanted to for years. It's a great addition to the lore of the game.
This is a serious work of art. The vocals on "ally, please. I told you..." were hauntingly beautiful. Though, my absolute favorite lines are "I wonder, sometimes" "sometimes" "what I had failed to say" to "I might have known what I was loosing that day". Gosh! So much emotion. In honesty, I've only watched a handful of critical role episodes. That being said, this song told a real story. I didn't need to see all the episodes, I understood perfectly. This tune has been in my head for some time. I'm just listening on repeat :3
I've become mildly obsessed with this song. It's so beautiful. My partner told me about their relationship before I started watching and I became invested because I love cute queer representation. This is a beautiful companion to the story told through the show, and it makes me tear up every time I hear it. I am looking forward to the final version.
Kima and Allura are two of my favorite Critical Role NPCs, and hearing such a beautiful song from their perspective makes me incredibly happy, well done :)
I listened to this in work while doing dishes in the kitchen, and multiple people swore up and down they'd heard that voice before and that they loved the voice.
I don't normally comment on videos but I wanted to say that this song is beautiful. I love critical role and the characters but wen I listen to the song not only reminds me of critical role but also of me and my best friend.
I’m rewatching cr1 due to nostalgia from the wedding and I’ll have you know this made my heart feel a little more raw afterwards beautiful vocals and awesome lyrics!
I only recently found this song and I can tell you in an instant that it's one of the best I've heard - ever. Between The List, and that Hamilton idea you and some critters are working on, I'm beyond excited to see what else you have planned! Cheers Gypsum, keep up the great work!
We're not affiliated (as noted in my video description cuz of past mixups :P), but I'm a big, big fan! Their CR musical works were major inspiration and motivation for writing this song in the first place.
Are you thinking about doing one for what happened in episode 85? I would cry hearing that. Also, now I have "Say" as my favourite song in my phone, I really think is gorgeous.
aw that is really sweet. I'm so glad you like it! I haven't planned on another song right now. I'm mostly focused on getting this song as good as I can. Though I will add that this song has a couple accidental references to the events of 85, that I hadn't realized! (See: last chorus, allura's last solo line, and the last shared line). I was just wrecked when I realize what I had foreshadowed.
I just realized now, 85 WAS ALL YOUR FAULT! Im kidding but really, wow. Be sure Ill be attentive for when you think this song is "as good as you can" eventhough I think it is already perfect. You should totally send it to matt and the cast by twitter, they are lovely, they will listen to it.
Hey hey, 85 had already happened when I wrote it! :P Just didn't realize the symbolism was more like foreshadowing :P. Already tagged Matt on twitter and posted the song a few times, but it didn't gain much retweet traction so it may have just gotten lost in the shuffle. Don't know if any of the cast heard it. In the end I've made peace with it. Critters seem to have really enjoyed it. And maybe they'll catch the final version :)
When I'm sad, I listen to this. When I'm angry, I listen to this. When I'm angry, I listen to this. When I'm longing, I listen to this. Thank you for this gift to the ears and for every time I had to hear this
I’m in no way shape or form a cryer. My reaction to most things is bored indifference. This brought some tears up. Kudos to you. Your voice is immensely beautiful and if it can bring emotion to me, you have some fierce talent.
I never know sometimes what the cast rolls with, sees as a better story.. or was just there all along.. but I LOVE it all the same. Kima just called her Ally and the clear bond, and suddenly lovers.
It's so soothing and I can't help but feel like you captured really well the feeling of slight regretful sorrow lined with hope that defines Kimallura so well. Great work
To be honest, I haven't gotten to this part of Season One. However, I'd argue that you don't need that much knowledge about the story to be emotionally invested in the song. The raw acting talent you have in voicing these two lovers is so powerful that the listener doesn't need the full story. It's all there in the song. Truly outstanding work. I look forward to hearing your other songs.
I don't normally listen to fan-songs for the things I watch, they've never caught my interest before. But this...this is amazing and I am dying and my heart is breaking and I love it.
This is genuinely one of the most moving fansongs ive ever heard and it brings me to tears every time i listen to it. Thank you dearly for making such a gorgeous song for these two
Aw, this is so beautiful! I love Ally and Kima. I remember feeling so sorry for Tibs when they brought her back after their rescue mission and. It was so plain that there was something between the two of them. Anyway! Great song, wonderful lyrics and beautiful vocals
Never thought of this before, but Allura's regret is an odd counterpoint to Delilah Briarwood's desperate arrogance when she "broke the world" to bring back her husband.
Story telling. It seems Critical role is bringing back the human emotion in various area's of art. Musical inspiration, animation, and the imagination of those who wish to tell their own tales. Joy, and other feelings invoked by hard decisions and their consequences. Can't believe I didn't hear these songs sooner. I wish I had.
I just played along on my uke and I really love these chord changes. After playing for some years now their are not many songs that have any surprises in them maybe some 7th chords but this was a nice change
I first stubbled upon this song over a year ago just after I lost my cat, and it was so comforting to listen to. I barely knew anything about Campaign one at the time but this song made me look into it and lead to me falling in love with the characters. So thank you 💜
I love this song. A song is the most beautiful when it can both relate to a specific situation and/or emotion while also being able to evoke a memory or person to the listener. This song makes me think of their story, but also MY own story. Being a gay man, songs like this, about being honest, even if it is hard and scary, can lead to beautiful results, always makes me feel things; and this one definitely lead me to tears. Thanks for putting your heart into something that ended filling mine as well.
I am not a critical role fan. I stumbled upon this song 6 years ago and have listened to it 100s of times since. It stands on its own as a tremendous piece of art and one of my all time favorite love songs
I keep coming to this song so many times, and I try and show it to so many of my friends. It's truly a piece of art and I just love it so much- the emotion you put in the lyrics, and the lyrics themselves it's all such perfect harmony!! I love it so much, it a wonderful piece of work
I've just discovered this but I've already memorised all the words after only hearing it this morning :'D I really really want to make an animatic to this now oh my godddd
WAIT. with the animated series, both of our lovely ladies will have voice actors independently of matt right? i wonder theyd ever consider singing this beautiful duet together 🤭☺️
I cried from the sheer beauty of this song! it’s amazing & the amount of character & story that comes through is absolutely breathtaking Thank you so much
Wow you so nailed this relationship and with such beautiful vocals/composition! Amazing how you differentiated Kima and Allura's 'voices' ❤️ Also, love the little nod "I broke the world" as a nod to the Briarwoods but this has such a happier end. Gorgeous! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Omg I just found your channel and this video, and not only do you have an incredible voice, the story you created, their separation and their regret, it honestly brought me to tears! You made it so we could feel what they were feeling and relate to them, which is amazing. Thank you!
I somehow always end up back here, and this song never fails to make me tear up. It's so beautiful that I shared it with my friend and it got him into watching the show. So bravo. :)
This is a very nice song for these two. Very nice work. I like the structure of the verses, it makes it sound whimsical and like a proper conversation. I really think a Critical role Musical needs to be made at some point. It would be fun.
This song destroys me. It's so good, so emotional, it both breaks my heart and makes me feel like it's filling up with love at the same time. aaa. Your representation of Allura is something that has inspired me a lot with making one of my dnd characters I'm going to play eventually. Do you think you're going to make any songs for the mighty nein? I don't know if you still follow critical role but I would love to hear more music like this
