- (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.

GORGEOUS KIMALLURA ART used with permission from Firelystash: firelystash.tum...
The final demo of my Kima and Allura duet! I love these two so much, and wanted to explore what they might have happened between them in their past and while they were waiting for Vox Machina to return. Thank you Matthew Mercer for your amazing NPCs.

Stay tuned for a final version of the song, with musical arrangement and a duet partner!
"Time's not some beast you can slay. It's stone, never changing, you might have to bend."
I have another troubled mage this needs to be told to.
Someone Rolled a nat 20 on their Heart-Filled performance!
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
back here after the most recent episode bc I miss my girls
The algorithm has blessed me with this after seeing it for the first time 5 years ago. Crazy how long it's been, time's a weird soup. But this song still pulls at my heartstrings as it did back then
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.
" 'I might have turned'
'...Really?'
'I tend to crumble... where you're concerned' "
This just about killed me.
100% still one of my favorite lines 😊
@@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.
her love of Allura is so song it is enough to go back on her oath, the source of conviction so pure and strong it gives her divine power
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
this randomly popped back up on my recommended from so many yrs ago and it still has me misty eyed
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'm crying this is so cute? I love them so much.
aw, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on a fully orchestrated duet with a partner!
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.
Aw, that is incredibly sweet. I'm so happy that you got so much out of the song :) Have a great day!
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!
7 years later, and I still get emotional when I come back to this
I need you to know that this actually has me in tears.
awwww, :D *hugs*
What are these shows?

@@N7AslansHobbit_Ry I know what Critical Role is. I asked what are these shows he mentions are
@@axell15thewispmaster51 oh sorry.
A brilliant piece for one of the greatest works of entertainment in the history of the world. Thank you.
Here here! And thank you, I'm deeply flattered.
I tend to agree...no, I agree wholeheartedly
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.
a demo? DEMO?!?! please make more, your voice is made of the sweetest tones and i'm absolutely in love with what you've created
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.
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.
WHY HAVE I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS
I'M GONNA CRYYY
Wonderful ;;
This sounds like a perfect mix of two of my favorite shows. Critical role and Steven universe. This is so beautiful
That's what I was going to say
I was searching the comments to see if I wasn't alone
Man, one of the very first things I thought was that I wanted to see this animated Steven Universe style, it just fits so well.
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.
I know it’s been five years but I still come back to listen to this song every so often ❤️
I can't even count the amount of times I've listened to this!!! I can't wait for the finished duet!
aw, that is incredibly sweet. Thank you! And I am really looking forward to recording this again with a partner. :D
Spoilers but.... I'm so happy they are married now :,)
More spoilers...
She's a traitor.
@@fenrirswolh3 Even More spoilers
What? lol no she's not. Neither Allura nor Kima are traitors and I'm all caught up and onto C3 so...
That's honestly a spoiler I'm fine with learning before seeing it in stream/show ^_^
Its' been almost a year now and this song still astounds me everytime I hear it. It deserves hundreds of thousands of likes.
Had to listen during tonight's break! Missed them
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
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
I love how your tone changes between them, it’s so dynamic and touching. I keep coming back to this song after years, it’s so wonderful
Still have this whole song memorized after all these years 💖
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
aw, thank you. That is a really sweet sentiment, and I agree 100% with that sense of mixed emotions. Was definitely trying to capture that!
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.
I keep finding myself coming back to this song and I love it even more each time I do
I haven't even reached this part of the podcast yet but this song makes me melt
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!
Oh, and I can't forget ShortOneGaming!
Aw, thank you so much for your kind words! :D
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.
Fantastic and adorable. You miss have earned a sub and this song will fit nicely in my Critical Role playlist.
This is just.... art.
O_O oh wow, thank you!
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 :)
"I broke the world," you can really feel Allura guilt and pain in that line
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.
@@michaelbryant3640 gold star! ;)
Oh my ... that was heartbreaking. Simply beautiful. Thank you so much for this!
Oh god, got teary eyed there. Beautiful song. So very, very beautiful.
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'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
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 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 listened to this on loop 5 years ago at the wee age of 14. i need u to know this song permanently rewired my brain chemistry
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 cannot stop listening to this, so damned beautiful.
I wish I knew a love like this...
Damn... Made me cry. That was so beautiful. QwQ
I haven't seen the first campaign yet but my god this song is beautiful and don't even get me started on your voice! Wow!
This is so perfect, it feels like my heart is broken in two. The song is beautiful, and it matches its source's complexity and heartbreak.
this is so so lovely oml. i love kimallura so so much, and this is so fitting for them and so good. wonderfullllll
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
I think it was clear to everyone but Allie, I think back then tibs still had a shot... but then the world went to shit.
Can't wait for news on the official song ☺️
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I love Kimallura so much and this song is awesome!! Your voice is so beautiful and the lyrics are amazing, thank you!!
chills. thank you
this is so incredibly cute and such a good song! i've been listening to it often the past few days!!
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 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
The moment they were reunited, and Vox Machina realized their connection... It was priceless
I don't even know these characters but goddamn is this beautiful
Nothing but love for this....I love both, want both by my side when I fight evil.
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. :)
Wait, seriously?! That is amazing! I am so touched that my worked inspired a potential new critter! This made my day. Thank you!
Why is this not more popular!!!!!!
This has such amazing lyrics and such beautiful voices
i adore this, they’re so really adorable together ;-;
beautiful!!!!
thank you so much!
Love this. Kima and Alura is the best love story from the whole campaign. Great job
Brava!
This is...perfect. Thank you.
Just have to say, this song right here is everything under the sun that is alive and then some. I love it so much, thank you for creating this.
Beautiful song. And great artwork to go along with it to represent Kima and Allura.
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!
OMG. Please do more of Critical Role songs! Your voice is absolutely gorgeous 😭💖
I actually love this so much. thanks
Im not going to lie, I just found this song last month and its already became my fav song, its so beautiful, well done!
I haven’t even watched campaign 1 and I love this
How did I only find this now??? This is GORGEOUS.
I don't understand how this could get better, why even make a final version. It's beautiful.
This is incredible. Oh goodness, my heart
Chills.
Voices are so pretty. Hacent gotten this far in critical role but reminded of a couple of people in anther fandom and I absolutely love this ❤
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!
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.
Jeez that song should come with a feels warning... my lord Pallor that was beautiful
This is absolutly beautiful
I loved this. So wonderfully written and performed. From one bard to another I greatly approve and applaud!
I expect you've had a number of offers but if you're looking to someone to sing with.... I love this song 😁
Beautiful song. Got a little teary when Kima begged Bahamut it for strength. Thank you for this work of art
im crying rn holy shit this amazing
So very lovely! Thanks so much for sharing.
It's so simple and sweet!
Very well done!
I'm a little late to this party but I've always loved the relationship between Ally and Kima and this song is amazing.
Ukulele........ I approve
This gives me life everytime I listen to it 💜
Just subscribed, this was beautiful.
Thank you. Please never doubt your potential to be as amazing as you are, it would be a crime.
