This song is the animated opening song for campaign 2, which the characters are from. I’m not quite sure where you’re getting Vox Machina from unless you’re thinking of the upcoming animated series :)
@@FlyingDominion That makes sense! It is in fact primarily a song for campaign 2, but if I remember correctly, the first version of it was used for the preview of the animated series, but it was extended and adapted for the animated intro of campaign 2! :D
Nope! The song (at least lyrically) was first used as a campagin 2 opening, well before any sort of animated series kickstarter was even announced! The bass-heavy music is almost undoubtedly inspired by by the Campaign 1 opening, though! The actual original song, as written by Sam Riegel and performed by Ashley Johnson, Is only the first verse. As noted in the description, Cami-Cat wrote the second for this cover. The original animation it was set to actually got significantly delayed and altered due to [spoiler] happening on the show, which delayed the unveiling of the song, itself.
It took me a good 10 seconds at least, I think, staring at that to figure out what was going on there. But totally agree that he definitely pulls off a crown and should wear one.
An absolutely outstanding cover guys, your vocals are just righteous and divine i love it your performance of this song was truly remarkable, keep it up!!!!
When the rogue gives advantage to the bard and both the rolls are nat 20s. On behalf of all critters thank you for this cover oh queens of the call. A+++ on the extend lyrics Cami! Love how fitting they are and all the little easter eggs in the video that I'm sure you worked on together.
Because people in (most) art are often made to look perfect. When drawing we spend a lot of time making sure everything is symmetrical and proportionate, and I personally only ever tend to draw characters that I personally deem attractive and often appear flawless, or when they do have physical flaws its done so for aesthetic purposes (think scars) or cool story telling. Because its what I enjoy drawing. Art is a form of story telling and creative outlet. Its not meant to represent real life, not for me anyways and I know its not for a lot of people. And here’s the thing, real people aren’t perfect or flawless. So art looks “better” than anyone ever will But in my honest opinion. Perfection in real life doesn’t exist, and if it did it would be boring. So embrace the way you look, because it makes you you, and it makes you interesting.
@@adeleaslan8182 i thought you might be, but I wanted to write it just in case! and also for anyone who does feel upset over not being able to look flawless or perfect like art ❤️
Anna doesn’t promote new merch Me: Fine I’ll do it myself. Everybody go buy a sticker or even a new sweatshirt so Anna can keep providing us with her angelic covers🥰
I feel like I am actually in a Lord of the Rings adventure! Traveling on the road with the bards playing this on our quest! Rocking the renaissance era as always, girl!
This. This right here is why I look forward to your music. I've never heard a song or a cover of yours I didn't like. And cami adds to the awesomeness and then some. Your work pays off in spades in my humble opinion. Anna. From one music lover to another. Thank you
Anna and Cami certified bards that I hear in the back of the tavern as I'm accepting a quest from a wizened one eyed sorcerer with questionable motives
I was so confused when the video was longer than the song, but I LOVE the expansion to the song so much!!! Someone show this to them, I bet they'd love it!
Putting this out there for anyone that wants to use it in their campaign since I just thought of it. A shortbow with multiple strings that doubles as a harp. Any bard that uses it may expend use of their inspiration to generate it as a single shot that deals twice the inspiration dice as damage and use their charisma modifier in place of the dex for the attack and damage. This song inspired me so much hearing the queens of covers cover it I came up with an item in their honor. I think I'll call it 'A Shot of Inspiration'.
I didn't see this cover coming but I adore its existence. I love Critical Role and I love your covers so to get a notification that you covered the intro song for campaign 2? Instant spark of joy. Thank you so much Anna!
I’m a pretty simple humanoid. I see a video notification from Anna, one of my top inspirations, and I literally break the play and rewind buttons. Simple! :D
Such a convergence of wonderful things, Anna and Cami (probably my two favorite singers ever), singing a Critical Role song (probably one of my favorite shows ever). Life is good.
OMG First of all this is amazing love you Anna Second, There was an ad at the beginning, but I didn't realize it was an ad, so I really just thought Anna was singin 'I'm a big kid now!' And this nearly gave me a heart attack Goodnight folks
When I saw this, I had to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Anna, you are amazing. Critical Role is AMAZING... This song is and will always be... the song of my heart and soul! and the extra verse... very nicely done!
Yay!! First Chloe, now you took your own take on this epic number. I really like your slower, building, almost Celtic take on it. Feels more folky. Like something the Bard would sing.
This was incredible. Your voice fits so well within the D&D world so harmoniously and the acoustic tune makes it feel like I’m actually at a tavern with my party mates. Thanks Anna for a wonderful cover (with help from Cami) and I can’t wait to see what song you cover next; perhaps Blunt the Knives or Misty Mountains.

Such a great song! 💗💗🥰

@@chaoschild1753 Does that mean Anna is only da best?
@@FlyingDominion 😊
Everyone is giving Anna and Cami their rightful praise, but can we talk about the art? TobyJamesSharp killed it. Great job all around!
Okay, yes, it's very good art, -but these are campaign 2 characters and the show that the song is for has campaign 1 characters. What's up with that?-
This song is the animated opening song for campaign 2, which the characters are from. I’m not quite sure where you’re getting Vox Machina from unless you’re thinking of the upcoming animated series :)
@@Samthane I first heard the song as the trailer for the animated series. I haven't finished campaign 1 yet, so I haven't heard the campaign 2 intro.

This is an absolute *_BANGER_*
@@mendiv4741 LOL thats alright though. Sometimes it just doesn't work out for ya.
It's also in podcast from, so you can listen to it whilst doing something else or driving
The extended lyrics feel so natural, I didn't realize they weren't just part of a longer version I hadn't heard before.
Seriously? I didn't realize those weren't actually a thing before this
Caduceus's crystal makes Caleb look like he's wearing a crown.
Wait?! Oh shit! That's what it was! Haha, I was wondering why the hell Caleb wore a crown! I assumed it was aesthetics or something!
He deserves a crown for being such a king,,
It took me a good 10 seconds at least, I think, staring at that to figure out what was going on there. But totally agree that he definitely pulls off a crown and should wear one.
Especially cause it's orange! Not purple
It's what he deserves
Veth rolled so high on stealth she disappeared completely
No she with cad and caleb
