  • (spoilers for Critical Role episode 77, but the song takes place sometime between episodes 57 and 58)
    In Whitestone, Allura is meditating, working on the arcane barrier protecting Whitestone, while Kima impatiently waits with her. The long time partymates sort out their fears and feelings.

    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

    • @FantomTangents
      @FantomTangents  7 років тому +1

      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.

    • @joselovonable
      @joselovonable 7 років тому +1

      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.

    • @FantomTangents
      @FantomTangents  7 років тому +7

      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 :)

    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.

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.

    I'm a little late to this party but I've always loved the relationship between Ally and Kima and this song is amazing.
