I love how this song does such a good job of presenting Catra's anger as justified. Adora's urge to self-sacrifice is often cast as heroic rather than destructive, and it's a beautiful, bittersweet irony Catra seems to be the only one who notices that.
Thank you!! Adora choosing to take the failsafe in particular stands out to me, and it clearly stood out to Catra, too. Adora, young Adora, willing to lay down her life for her friends & the world - and no one immediately stops her except Catra! Castaspella stands out to me as someone who you might expect to step in and shoulder the burden, as an older adult. But everyone except Catra seems to just let Adora walk towards that failsafe once Adora has verbalized that she'll do it. So you're totally right, it almost seems like Catra is the only one who fully sees Adora as just Adora, rather than letting the idea of She-Ra partially obscure Adora's humanity.
MathematicPony I honestly never really stopped to consider it. You’re right. She’s the only one who didn’t see it as something that needed to happen. She was the only one who didn’t accept it and never did, and for once, that’s what saved her.
0:00 - 0:44 Catra missing Adora so she saves Glimmer 0:44 - 1:00 Catra is being chipped and Adora saves her 1:00 - 1:19 Meeting Shadow Weaver and going Mystacor to get the Heart 1:19 - 2:27 Catra and Shadow Weaver going after Adora and Adora is being injured then Catra saves Adora and kisses her 2:27 - 2:52 Adora saves Etharia and defeats Horde Prime, then Best Friend Squad reunites
THIS IS PERFECT I MEAN IM - IM SOBBING THE LYRICS: PERFECT THE VOICE: PERFECT OMG UA-cam'S RECOMMENDATION BLESSED ME RIGHT NOW LIKE IT BLESSED ME I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS BLESSED I MEAN-
I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING but seriously after the series finale I've been jumping from one piece of fanmade content to another reassuring myself that She-Ra is one of the most beautiful franchises I've ever experienced (of course crying my tears out every single time) I had this funny feeling that you're going to release something related to She-ra and luckily I wasn't wrong. The song is amazing and it's so nice to hear your voice once again ❤️
I was exactly like this, too! Then I found Reinaeiry's fan songs, and eventually, I started doing the exact same thing with The Owl House. If...you...uh...want something different, I made some fan art on Deviantart: www.deviantart.com/aeslynnz/art/Mathematicpony-s-Just-This-Once-in-Firstones-1-862469128 I TRANSLATED THIS INTO FIRST ONES FOR AN ART PROJECT! XD And then I made a drawing story on sticky notes! You just have to go through it by clicking the left arrow. ( I made have made a few goog-ups, but I did my best!) I hope you have found Reinaeiry by now! Oh, and Meelz! AND LUNAFLY! They made She-Ra fan songs, too! OH MY GOODNESS SO DID CAMI-CAT! Her song is like rock/metal and SUPER COOL! All of them are. Not as cool as my drawings, though. Just saying. Okay, I'm done now. I just hope at least one person sees what I did...I did comment already, but I figured I should at least share it with someone who would check it out...maybe.
"But I'll gladly trade myself for you to live" I haven't heard anything else of the song yet but someone's cutting a very large onion in this room. That line **gutted** me
You think that the reason why Adora is stuck on sacrificing herself than another person is because of Glimmer's mom? She probably felt the immense guilt for allowing her to take She Ra's place and doesn't want to feel that guilt again. Still, this song is beautiful. Like... 😤👌👌👌👌 wow
WE'RE GONNA WIN IN THE END! I have also just finished season 5 of She-ra and it was just a blast. It's a show we needed in these difficult times ^^ I'm glad you're still writing fan songs for all of us
Found this during my search through She-Ra content and UA-cam, and I’ve gotta say, I absolutely _love_ this! I think it conveys Catra’s point of view from her own sacrifice on the ship to Adora’s sacrifice with the failsafe perfectly. 11/10, definitely gonna be listening to this a lot.
I love this so much, and how it shows the irony that in most cases the most heroic path is self destructive, and it fits perfectly for catra to be singing, as she was the one noticed that trend
Song still makes this 50 year old man's man bawl like a baby. This is quality writing, quality music, quality tribute to a quality (and severely underrrated) show. Thank you for this.
Again the fandom never cease to amaze me and make me cry. My heart is aching again from another wonderful content! WE HAVE WON AFTER ALL! KUDOS! I'll be in the she-ra fandom for life
This is probably the best representation of Catorda song I have ever heard. It covers all the essential parts of the relationship with such a beautiful voice and catchy beat. The lyrics have so much meaning packed into them as well. Overall 10/10.
So I maybe binged the series a bit too hard, but THAT WAS SO GOOD And your song is 100x more enjoyable knowing the meaning behind every line. Thank you for continuing to produce such beautiful content.
I'd agree with the first two seasons, but I think the third season did an excellent job with Catra's arc. She had the chance to find happiness for herself with Scorpia in the Crimson Wastes, but abandoned it because of her trauma with Shadow Weaver and Adora. It's a classic and well-executed tragic arc. And also the season 3 finale was awesome. :P
I really enjoy this, the use of that one line that felt so heavy to me. When Glimmer tells her to do one thing right in her life, and Catra echoes that sentiment to Adora when she fights to save Glimmer... it was a line that stuck with me, and you captured that well with this song.
“But images leak through the static. Desperate blue sneaks through the green.” That was beautifully well written. I love how you explained that scene in that episode and I couldn’t ask for a better song for Catra during these times. I’m in love with song!
Hello... Umm... I jus wanna say that you have a great voice and i love the cover of time adventure, your voice is perfect. Sorry for my bad english, in mexican and i don't talk a perfect english, sorry
This is amazing. I've been listening to a LOT of She-Ra material lately (can't imagine why!) and this has to be one of my favorites so far. Truly, job well done.
@@duckysguidetoshipping8930 watched the first few episodes on Netflix. Took a break from it because school is holding me in a choke hold. Gonna continue once the holidays start :D
@@Prinzessin-s6b oooh that's good tho!! I promise if you feel like it's slow at first keeps going!!! Just don't look up anything related to the show the famdom is horrible with spoilers
Awwwwww, thank you so much!!!! I'm not great at visuals but I really felt like this one needed lyrics on screen, and then from there I was like "....hmmmmmm..." and did all the other stuff hahahaha
OMFGGGGG! that was so good, extraordinary, 100%, A++, however many where to say that i LOVED this and that you need to keep doing what you are doing. #sheramovie
Found this when I was letting a Spotify playlist go, and I thought "hm, this song would really fit Catradora and She-Ra," then I saw the title and went, "oh"
I´m used to having a goosebumbs when I listen to a song who express so much feelings I can relate to. But I never expected for me to be possible to experience it more than once while listening again. This is the first time. And I know it´s because it´s so true so that during this song I´m able to see the whole Catradora story running again and again before my eyes and it´s just too much. Thank you for this song. It won´t be forgotten.... well, definitelly not by me. MathematicPony, you are amazing. Not everyone can create a music which makes a person actually feel this beautiful heartache that may hurt a little but it´s a heartache of someone being in love (for as I am with the story)... So one more time. Thank you.
Yo I was drawing, and I had this song just floating around in my head. I was thinking to myself, “Isn’t this song on the radio?” Cause this song BOPS. This is Hits1 and national radio material.
@@MathematicPony No problem! But really, I looked up “I’ll be the good guy” like 5 times on Google and UA-cam trying to find the song, not realizing it was spewing this link in my face-
Okay, why is it that when I am looking for music to help inspire my own He-man and She-ra story, I find this brilliant piece of music? Honestly I can just see Catra and Teela sitting down and talking about how their respective partners are walking martyr complexes...
The youtube channel Five By Five Takes did some fantastic character breakdowns on Adora and Catra, covering the nature of abuse, control, choice, identity, etc., and honestly this song hits different after watching those and then coming back here with new understanding.
Somebody PLEASE make a Catradora comprised of their best moments according to the lyrics for this wonderful song so much! I love the lyrics so much because I can totally imagine Adora and Catra singing the duet together, because this song is a love letter to the two characters. I wouldn't say both characters are blameless, and I'm glad they finally forgave each other and chose to support each other till the end and finally earn their well-deserved happy ending without any deaths and all the good things that come of it, finally able to live the rest of their lives in peace and harmony.
I had to stop for a few seconds to shed some tears so i could see well enough to type It echoes Catra's thoughts and feelings so well, especially as she's the only one who sees Adora's "heroic" actions as self destructive and tries to get her to stop and let someone else be the hero
I LOVE the line "You're worth more than what you sacrifice" BEAUTIFUL similarity to Mara's "You're worth more than what you can give to other people." Also at the end, I noticed something. The story they get to tell that doesn't end with a hero's sacrifice has a pattern to it in my mind. "Just this once I'll choose what I want" - Adora choosing Catra "Just this once I'll do the right thing." -Catra doing the one good thing in her life. "Just this once I'll choose to save her." -It me of Save the Cat, since Catra never asked to be saved, but Adora did anyway, despite all the bad things Catra did. "Just this once I'll sacrifice." -Catra *Sacrificing herself for Glimmer "Just this once I'll make my own choice." -Adora making the choice to accept love from Catra "Just this once I'll be the good guy." - Catra during Heart Even though it's technically Catra's song to Adora....Please tell me I'm not super off base with this observation?) @mathematicpony
Wow. I really, really dig the story-telling through the lyrics and those background harmonies, especially during the repeated “Stay” bits.The percussion stood out to me with how it sounded like a heartbeat at the beginning and then later reminded me of a soldier-like beat during the bridge, that was so cool! Thank you so much for creating and sharing such a wonderful labor of love!
Ahhhhhhh, thank you so much! The heartbeat thing AND the solider march were also super intentional, because you know, Heart of Etheria and they were soldiers. :D So I'm happy you caught that! Thanks for listening and enjoying!
MathematicPony My pleasure! Ooh that’s awesome, I love how you incorporated those aspects of their personalities and relationship into this piece. Such thoughtful details!
i came back to this channel out of nostalgia bc i used to be OBSESSED during my mlp phase and not only do all of my old favorites still absolutely bop, there's also this song about one of my favorite ships??? best day ever 10/10 saved on spotify
I have never listened to a song this many times in so little time. I don't even watch She-Ra! You really did an amazing job singing this, I am not exaggerating. Not one bit.
Oh my god, I heard this in another Catradora video and had to make sure to compliment the creator because... This song has perfect lyrics and I LOVE the shifting perspectives between Catra and Adora. It really makes a powerful statement about the importance of both of their arcs and their importance to each other. Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt tears prickle my eyes at "now we get to tell a story that didn't just end with a hero's sacrifice." That line just hit me so hard.
I pretty much spent an entire night listening to this on repeat and I wanted to say thank you because I don't think anyone will top this song when it comes to a tribute to this show. Genuinely a fantastic piece of art.
What the heck!!!!! This is amazing!!!! Not to mention its original!!!!! U got a new sub!!!!! The lyrics are gorgeous btw!!!! And your voice is outstanding!!!
@@MathematicPony Np!!! U deserve everything & so much more!!!!!! Imma tell everyone I see to sub to your channel!!!!!! I see an amazing future for u!!!!!

Even though it's technically Catra's song to Adora....Please tell me I'm not super off base with this observation?) @mathematicpony
Wow. I really, really dig the story-telling through the lyrics and those background harmonies, especially during the repeated “Stay” bits.The percussion stood out to me with how it sounded like a heartbeat at the beginning and then later reminded me of a soldier-like beat during the bridge, that was so cool! Thank you so much for creating and sharing such a wonderful labor of love!
Ahhhhhhh, thank you so much! The heartbeat thing AND the solider march were also super intentional, because you know, Heart of Etheria and they were soldiers. :D So I'm happy you caught that! Thanks for listening and enjoying!
MathematicPony My pleasure! Ooh that’s awesome, I love how you incorporated those aspects of their personalities and relationship into this piece. Such thoughtful details!
THIS IS PERFECTION IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
i came back to this channel out of nostalgia bc i used to be OBSESSED during my mlp phase and not only do all of my old favorites still absolutely bop, there's also this song about one of my favorite ships??? best day ever 10/10 saved on spotify
Thank you so much, friend!

Oh my god this is so amazing. Those refrences hit hard.
It should be illegal to make me cry this way... please don't stop.
When it says desperate blue sneaks through the green, the first ones writing flashes blue
Okay I LOVED IT! I love the lyrics and the beat and it made my heart beat stronger!
Thank you
I don't get tired of listening to the song... Every time I do I cry.

Its a beautiful song that really got me in tears-
"But when i fall, you follow me" 😭😭...i'm not crying, you are crying

Thank you so much!!!!!
They’re in love your honour
i have this song on repeat! omg please continue to make more music, you are amazing!❣️
Oh my god, I heard this in another Catradora video and had to make sure to compliment the creator because... This song has perfect lyrics and I LOVE the shifting perspectives between Catra and Adora. It really makes a powerful statement about the importance of both of their arcs and their importance to each other. Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt tears prickle my eyes at "now we get to tell a story that didn't just end with a hero's sacrifice." That line just hit me so hard.
