Once Upon A Time (Feat. Kanaya & Beetlebug) - A Tribute to L’Manberg (Dream SMP Original Song)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2021
- August 2nd is the one year anniversary of L’Manberg independence. I wanted to do something special for the anniversary, so I reached out to some of the first ever Dream SMP artists! Kanaya and Beetlebug were so kind to lend me their vocals. I had a lot of fun working with both of them! I don’t think I’ve ever spent more time on a song than I did with this one. For the past two months, my producer, Grace, and I have been grinding away. I also hired several musicians to play in the song so that it would come across more lively and grand. I hope you all enjoy! Once again, big thanks to Grace, Kanaya, and Beetlebug!

This makes my head explode with emotion. ♡

WOOHOOOO
LETS GOOOO!! I CANT WAIT. >:D
I ALREADY KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING
Hi kanaya
ayup
YOOOOO
*It all started with Tommy, Wilbur, Tubbo, Fundy, and Eret. Now, Eret is king of the Dream SMP. Wilbur lives with Philza. Tommy is neutral. Tubbo is president of Snowchester. Fundy is in Las Nevades. None of them seem to be on the same side again.*
Oh great, now I'm crying over block men again, brb
@@bor_d4133 as far as I know, c!Wilbur is staying with c!Philza. I may not have fully been focusing on the streams, but in Wilbur last stream he was with Philza and Ranboo.
OH SHOOT YOURE RIGHT!!
Brb crying- 👀
*Sigh* I suppose... it was never meant to be.
@@WDinATX NO NO
NOT A SINGLE STEP CLOSER
It’s official. This song is cannon to the Dream SMP Lore.
Let's hope we see it in a Tales of the SMP stream if those ever happen again
@@nazrarain1452 i'm pretty sure the next one will be on nov. 16th, so it would actually fit pretty well

Sounds weirdly nostalgic, like the end credits of a Disney movie.
Absolutely beautiful, with the medieval celebration like music, the book that shares the stories that were written in the SMP, the throwbacks to previous songs, the lyrics themselves, the vocals; I could go on. One of the greatest masterpieces created here on this channel. The pain and beauty in your voices in general is lovely.
I see this was definitely worth the wait, and you could _feel_ the effort emanating off of this song. Stunning! 💜💙💜
Thank you! That means a lot
this is really the best way to describe this, this song is beautiful!
@@thisaintworthsearchinyall
the tales from within these pages
They come and they go in stages
Now all that will remain,
Are stories of joy and pain
...
We come from another lifetime
To carry these worlds in our minds
This burden's ours to bear
But don't give in to despair
...
So we, we will tell their stories
All of their grief and all their glory.
- Excerpts from Tell Your Story by Derivakat.(slightly modified)
I imagine this song is sung by Phil a few hundred years into the future to some kids while remembering his long dead friends
you know, you didn’t have to make me cry
This sounds like a song I’d sing my kids, sounds dumb but if I have kids I want to tell them the story of the smp (well maybe tone down some things and change some stuff) but I want to tell them I was there or something, that I remember these city’s being built and watching them fall that that nation was mine and I loved it. Now I’m just ranting but seriously L’manburg was my escape.
Lyrics
I see
The walls of black and gold
And though the faces here look kind
I know the secrets that they hold
Each one
Is playing their cards close
And all of them have stories
That will probably never be told
Have you heard of the man with the mask
Or the great ruler who one day finally snapped
And he blew all that he made to kingdom come
Have you heard of the kid
Who lead men into war
Or the tale of the unkillable warrior
These legends all were so much more than rhymes
One upon a time
I see
The ocean down below
I’m flying in the night
I touch the sky
The stars are just so close
I search
For hours in the snow
Longing for a feeling
That I felt when I was home
Have you heard of the man with the mask
Or the kid who wished that he could take it all back
Would’ve never done what he’d done
If he’d known
Have you heard of the ghost
Who would melt in the rain
Or the girl who had nothing to lose just to gain
These legends all were so much more than rhymes
Once upon a time
Oh woah
Oh woah
Oh ooo
I see
Obsidian and smoke
The ashes that still linger here
Are traces of what once was home
We lost
But the story must get told
One of power, friendship, and betrayal
A tale as old as time
Oh woah
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
I saw
The walls of black and gold
Ohh
If you see any errors please tell me I’ll fix them :)
Thx
A A AYAYWYYAYWY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME THIS SOUNDS SO NOSTALGIC AND GOOD AND IT FITS LMANBERG SO MUCH !!!! it was so fun to do o7
VERY POG SONG
Thank you for being a part of it! I had so much fun working with you as well!! :D
Great trio
IT WAS INCREDIBLE AMOSJNOBEI
Hello musician
I have never cried this much while listening to a song.
“Have you heard of the man with the mask?
Or the kid who wished he could take everything back?
Would have never done what he’d done if he’d known.
Have you heard of the ghost who would melt in the rain?
Or the girl who had nothing to loose just to gain?
These legends all were so much more than rhymes.
Once upon a time.”
These lyrics are absolutely stunning. Thank you for this song, it’s by far my current favourite.

Tommy’s tribute to dream smp video had me coming back to listen to this again
I'm imagining this song is sung to the next generations during campfires, the book was written by Karl, telling all of their stories for the generations to come
This is such a throwback to the past. It's a story being told through such a meaningful way of a meaningful thing. L'manburg fell, but it will always live in our hearts. I absolutely love the book of photographs. It fit the song so well. It started with a van, ended as a war, but will be remembered as something beautiful to many. L'manburg had many flaws, but to the people who knew of it? Were a part of it? It was something they will never forget.
god now I'm just getting emotional over it again. darn it block people, how could you /j
I can't believe its been a year since l'manberg's independence. This song is really beautiful. It has all of our memories of the smp and the amazing stories told, and even though I joined the fandom near the end of l'manburg I feel so nostalgic for everything and I nearly cried at one point. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in for this amazing song
Honestly thought I was the only onwe who joined that late. But yeah o7 to L'manburg
Now 2 years… Here’s to season 2 of this wonderful SMP full of so many memories.
This song smells like the smell of flowers on a sunny hillside.
Rip Technoblade. "The Unkillable Warrior" has ascended to fight god.
Or become him
This sounds like a song that Karl might sing to document L'Manberg.
I love this point of view of seeing the stories of each Dream SMP member as a legend lost to time. It makes everyone, from the madman Wilbur, to the unkillabke Technoblade, to the underdog Tommy, feel even more... well, legendary than ever!
Also love how the second dives past the legend and into their feelings, humanizing them more and showing just how important the moral conflict was too!
THIS WAS INCREDIBLE YOU GUYS
Kroh is in the house! Yo! True star power today: Kroh, Kanaya, Precious Jewel, Tia Jade!
Thank you so much kroh!! :D
Mark my words, one day I will sing this to my kids as they fall asleep
I love how we’re all just literally making songs and theories about a bunch of people screaming in a block game.
it’s very cool to me this this community is so strong that we all salute when we see l’manburg... premiere chat was spamming o7 haha... but like, every time the lmanburg anthem plays when i’m listening to music on shuffle, i salute... o7, lmanburg, o7
It’s been 3 years since this amazing SMP started. Now it’s over and Season 2 has started.
Here’s to Season 2 and many more memories to be made. Thanks to everyone on the SMP and all the animators and song writers who make this community so much better.
Thank you for all the memories. And once again, here’s to Season 2!
This song is extremely underrated. A fabulous song.
i can see canon wilbur at his lowest singing this to reminice about the simpler times
A majestic, solemn masterpiece of nostalgia and legends, I don't think will ever get something like the dream smp again....
I agree
Yes, almost a year and I’m still crying for a Minecraft roleplay. It’s *eternal sadness* .
This is gonna make me cry isn't it? I'm already sad by just looking at the title and art
POV: the next generation of the SMP (Micheal shroud ect) sing this song to remember the tale of lmanburg and there parents
I was sitting here listening to the song and I could just imagine this being sung by Tubbo and lmanhole since he's still stuck in the past and its interesting to imagine the book with the photos could be Tubbo's full of photos he got or took of others(all but one he wasnt in so he could very well be behind the camera) to share the story of Lmanburg maybe to Micheal
i cant believe that its been a year since l’manburg won independence...
im crying rn ;~;
This sounds like a kid found their parents old scrap book with friendships that never lasted and they’re reminiscing as they explain the memories
the ultimate dsmp nostalgia song tbh
Coming back to this now, it feels as if the song is the last of these great legends or their descendants teaching young ones the story of L'Manburg and the tales each of the characters took before, during and after everything they held dear was destroyed.
This song made me think about what'll happen after the SMP is over- like, will we remember this in five years? Will we tell these stories to children when we're all old and wrinkled, and how will we tell that these are so much more than just stories, there are people behind them as well?
yeah, I nearly cried, I love this song so much.
I cried. God damn it. L'manberg may not be real but let's be honest it's the only fictional country I've and probably maybe you cared about. It's so nostalgic and it just shows how much every canon character has been through. o7 L'manberg, your spirt it always alive within us. I love the feel of this song to. The violin makes it extra touchy and gives it that sad feeling. The feel of the song is just so accurate and the lyrics and the song itself hits so hard. The amount of people you are, and already made cry is going to be absolutley huge. Gg mate. You guys did great in sending the feelings of the song.
To me this feels like someone who is telling the stories of L'manberg to some children years after everyone on the DreamSMP died
Woah 3 best DSMP singers in one song, I'm sure this is gonna be a legend
This has the same feeling of being young again, being tucked into bed while your parent figure reads you a story its very comforting
175 like and 0 dislikes.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
When the SMP is finally over and all the lore is done, this is the song I want to hear playing for the credits. It’s perfect.
You simply don't know how much this inspires me, this is definitely my favorite song of yours and possibly one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time. I am currently writing a Dream SMP origin fanfic story, so this really motivates me and gives me pure joy that L'manberg existed and changed lives. To be real, I'm probably gonna listen to this everyday before I continue writing. Thank you for using your beautiful voice to bring stories to life and making me happy in my darkest days.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you like the song, and I'm so happy to hear I inspired you!
Link of the fanfic please
Can't believe a block game made us all cry. It's still sad how it ended
And now, Technoblade is a legend. A memory as well. Memories may fade, but legends never die.
No dislikes…
And that is how it shall remain
If only... if only
UA-cam has dislike bots because of how bad their algorithm is (no dislike videos break it so bots add dislikes every so many views/likes/comments)
This aged poorly
@@da_dino_dude The dislike bots account for the 2. This still likely has not been disliked by a single human.
there are 11 bot accounts then or 11 people with no taste
I feel this is the song to send someone to introduce them to the story, before sending them to EvanMCGaming
This sounds so weirdly... nostalgic
For those who came back for this in 2024
It's been like two years, and man, i kinda miss the DSM even though i was not an active fan
This is one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard for a block game. This really brings the lmanburg era to life as a piece of history, which due to how fast the interney moves, it pretty much is. One can only hope the dsmp will get another arc just as great soon. Thanlfully it seems to be headed in that direction.
A fantastic work from 3 of my favorite singers, you all did great!
Thank you so much!
The blade is dead but well not be forgotten
The one thing that I love about Amanda's songs is that the music is equally good as her voice. The music is always super fantastic.
Algorithm, do what your supposed to thing, bring this masterpiece to the minecraft CC’s!
Yes. Great idea!
o7 RIP L’Manburg… we loved you! Such a great tribute!
THE ULTIMATE CROSSOVER LETS GOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS GONNA SLAP
MY FAVORITE CREATOR MAKING A SONG TOGETHER THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!
Incredible. Absolutely incredible. So many talented people gathered together to create a masterpiece that will forever be loved. It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come from the first days of the SMP. So crazy to see everything we’ve learned. Thank you for the memories. ❤️
This song is a masterpiece!
Always my l'manberg
This song deserves way more views. Everybody, keep spreading the word about this fabulous song!
I remember the tale of the unkillable worrior o7
HOW. AM. I. JUST. HEARING. THIS.
There is anger. There is very much anger. I have no idea how I didn't know that this came out.
This is absolutely amazing! I love it so much. The hinting at all the different stories without completely disclosing who they were, even though we're able to decipher it. I love your voices together and the lyrics are amazing. Freakin immaculate.
o7
Dude. The memories over the last year flowing in all at once with this song 😭
Its been such an interesting time watching this story and community develop and bring together such amazing people. This song was such a pretty but reminiscent tune ;v;
Haven’t even seen it and I know it’s gonna be epic
Came from Wolfy's speedpainting. This is gorgeous!
I've cried at these people playing the block game before, but this just hit on another level. You outdid yourself this time
somehow you (and all the other musicians and singers) were able to replicate the feeling of nostalgia and a touch of bittersweet. and I loved how this wasn't just about the lore and the story of lmanburg, but it also reminds us of how long ago that was in real time.
Honestly this song kinda makes me sad as it gave me the realization that dream smp mcyt will probably be the last 'generation' of mc youtubers I'll see while I'm still a kid and that it'll eventually become history
When you cry at this you know you watch too much dream smp
This song is massively underrated.
this bring back memories. Its beautiful it makes the story better
You can be sure that in a few years when the SMP is over i will be back here just for the memories
BEETLEBUG AND KANAYA! Thank you for bringing these stars to help
Techno was an amazing warrior 😔
Seriously the best song ever heard
I’m not crying, you are. But seriously great job! It feels like a song that would be sung around campfires centuries after the characters we know are gone.
I absolutely love the animation, and with the song
I‘m feeling back to the time L‘Manburg was being in its best months. With this song the anthem of Manburg lives on.
I'm so excited but at the same time scared that I will just cry through the whole song
o7 L’manberg. You live on in our hearts and memories
and in the vods :]
OH MY GOSH THIS SONG😭✨ SO BEAUTIFUL IT PULLED AT MY HEARTSTRINGS, I LOVE THIS BEYOND COMPREHENSION🤩💕✨😭🥺 This has got to be one of your greatest masterpieces yet, which is saying a lot because all of your work are absolute masterpieces. This is so amazing🥺✨💕
-Also why can I imagine someone in the Lost City of Mizu singing this to their kids before Ranbob sent them all down to hell?-
I AM CRYING OVER A FICTIONAL COUNTRY and i am no ashamed abot it damm this song juist gives me nostalgia
This is gonna be awesome
IT WAS SO GOOD I WANT A MANDOLIN NOW
This song is a literal masterpiece.
Wait . . . what? No freaking way! This is going to be epic!
headcanon that Karl's singing this to a future generation
Crying again. I love the nostalgic feeling that emanates off the song. So beautifully written and I can't get enough of it.
It's so nostalgic and sad... But I love it
This makes me cry it's so beautiful. Please tell me more about the unkillable warrior. I'd love to hear his tale again.
I CALLED IT ON THE LIVESTREAM, I CALLED IT! I WAS RIGHT
Edit: now am crying, this is beautiful
just notice now that l'manberg lived only for five months
I love the story it tells to the people who know
Three of the Best MCYT creators are making song together. Is this heaven?
Indeed!
the woodwind instruments really held it all together holy shit
*aggressively adds to favorite music playlist*
I just know this is gonna be an absolute masterpiece!!!!
This makes me feel old and nostalgic for some reason. Gosh, it's been a year when this happened and the DSMP has come so far. L'manberg was such a huge turning point and it brought together so many people. This is downright beautiful and gorgeous. Astounding job, you guys!
o7
this is gunna be so pog and im already preparing to cry
update i did cry
YOOO I KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME THREE OF MY FAVORITE DSMP MUSICIANS
It's beautiful
This is going to be fun to come back to in a few years when dream smp is just a distant memory. THAT'S when the real nostalga is gonna hit.
This song is just beautiful...
