Even after listening to this song a thousand times while animating, I still can’t get enough ❤️ It’s been a huge honor working with you and bringing Nesta to life!
thank you for animating! you did a wonderful job, it looks absolutely stunning 💗
@@as_paradise Thank you! 🥰
@@Erlance This is wonderful and fully colored which must have took forever. And I love your art style and I have so many compliments but I don't know how to put them to words. You did an amazing job.
@@elcat2577 Thank you so much!❤️
The drawing is so amazing!! You're so talented. Keep making your dreams come true. Have you ever read the series Legend by Marie Lu. It would be awesome if you would draw the characters from the series if Beth Crowley or another singer wrote a song about the book series, and make it seen like a movie. Just like this awesome video.
I love that you can see
Cassian sitting on the rooftop with the lyrics "kicking and screaming but no one can hear me"- perfect placing!
I love how you did not include Cassian and their romance. You just let the girl be by herself and made it abojt her. It's lovely to see that ypu saw Nesta's emotions and arc more important than the man.
This is gorgeous.
My favorite line is "Take what's left of my fractured heart; blood stained cause the pieces are so sharp."
Same!
💯
This played when I read this.
and how the heart begins to BEAT in time with the song! Masterfully done!!
I read this as it played....
I don't know what I love more; the song, the animated music video or the fact that it's based on a book
I put this on and my two year old sister just went from crying to completely silent, I am in awe.
Even she knows what a good song sounds like. 🥰🥰🥰
This song makes me think of how difficult is is for people to flee from their anxieties, depression, PTSDs, etc... I can understand how hard it is for those people to escape those mental blockages.
It is
Climbing out of the hells our abusers did to us is meet with a cold look of "you should be over this by now" from society. We are told healing takes time, day by day, though we are always given less time to truly heal within society that's always moving forward. We will heal. We just need proper support, if we can find it, whatever it may be.
I agree. That's my first thought -- PTSD and trauma from narcissistic abuse. It's very real. No one deserves this.
@@lora7418 I unfortunately endured 8 years of it. Even though it's been over 10 years since, I still have troubles at times. I just found out I have Adhd. Sad, instead of helping, they used it against me. I have a alright support group. I'm just grateful the beautiful people who have helped and gave me time to heal. Might never be fully, though with each breath I will my hearts wishes out and sometimes the universe answers. It's recognizing those answers, whatever it might be, that is somewhat tricky still.
I've never read this book, but the song & the video are great!
The court series is amazing, I also recommend it's counterpart A Throne of Glass
@@iwillbejudge Throne of Glass is one of my favorite series; I’ll definitely have to check this one out! Sarah J. Maas is a SPECTACULAR author!
@@iwillbejudge disregard my previous message, I just realized which series you were talking about. I HAVE read this one lmao, just not this book I don’t think
@@iwillbejudge Rhysand always made me think of Hades: Misjudged and just looking for love. (VERY simplified version of Rhys’ character, but still)
@@TrisFireblood aaaaaaaaaaaaand he has two brothers!
Strike first
Make it hurt
When everyone assumes the worst
I never have to say I'm sorry
Spiteful
Ruinous
I'm all things you feared I was
Another villain in your story
You think that I'm a spitfire?
You should
Afraid you're on my bad side?
That's good
If I wanted to end you
I could
I could
I'm sinking down
If you only knew how hard it is
For me to climb out
I'm kicking and screaming
But no one can hear me
So what happens now?
The shadows are creeping in
I didn't ask for
I didn't ask for this
Cold rage
Hides the shame
Of images I can't escape
Scars that live under the surface
It's strange
What I became
When part of me was ripped away
And replaced with something worthless
You think that I'm a spitfire?
You should
Afraid you're on my bad side?
That's good
If I wanted to end you
I could
I could
I'm sinking down
If you only knew how hard it is
For me to climb out
I'm kicking and screaming
But no one can hear me
So what happens now?
The shadows are creeping in
I didn't ask for
I didn't ask for this
Take what's left
Of my fractured heart
Bloodstained 'cause
The pieces are so sharp
Take what's left
Of my fractured heart
Bloodstained 'cause
The pieces are so sharp
I'm sinking down
If you only knew how hard it is
For me to climb out
I'm kicking and screaming
But no one can hear me
So what happens now?
The shadows are creeping in
I didn't ask for
I didn't ask for this
Never forget
I didn't ask for this
Thankkk uuu :)
thank you so much
It's perfect!! The animation works so well with the song, amazing job!!
Beautiful! You really write down Nesta in a song. I think her characters is one of the best, and the line about the villain in the story dang girl! Love your work!
this fits perfectly!! I haven't read Nestas book yet but now I'm even more determined to do so!!
Now is a good time to read it
@@fallenroseknight8238 absolutely!!
Same. Only read the first 3, cause that's all there was when I read, and I'm having a hard time bringing myself back to the series
this book, its really great 😭😭😭
I love that Cassian is on the roof ♡
Dang Beth Crowley has done it again an epic song based on a book that I am now aching to read
how is she so unpopular?
i just LOVE HER
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Blown away how a story is told in a few minutes. You've done the work justice.
💫
you should have so many more subscribers, your songs keep me going in times when i just want to give up.
I feel the exact same way ...Beth Crowley helps empower me and gives me the strength to pull through whatever life throws at me
Nesta is by far my fav acotar character i love her sm!!
That gave me chills, it was so beautiful and so perfect for Nesta's character in ACOSF. Another amazing piece that will be going on all of my playlists!! The chorus is my favorite part, it's so haunting and breathtaking. Amazing work!! and the art is SOOOO pretty too!!
I've never known lyrics to relate so much, my partner agrees.
Cried so much because I struggle to use words, and this explains everything and why I do the things I do.
Thank-you for your music, you have helped me get through some terribly tough times.
Am I the only one who found this song and listens to it on repeat
Your songs like these always make me want to read the books they’re based on
Same!!
You should they are so amazing
This song actually matches one of my own characters. She’s a wolf called Asrani who was cruelly traumatised by her own best friend who almost killed her when he wanted to be Beta of their pack. She survived but became selectively mute due to the trauma. Her ex-friend planned to exile her after their pack turned on her and made her feel worthless but she left before he could and became a loner, where she quickly learned that it was either kill or be killed. She earned a reputation of being a merciless serial killer known as the “Shadow Bandit”. Later on, when she has found family in her new friends, they find out about her old reputation and they are shocked. Getting defensive, Asrani gives them the cold shoulder for a while until her mate, Faith (yes, she’s a lesbian), talks to her and Asrani says “They seem to forget I never asked for this. I didn’t have a choice.” All I can see when I hear this song, is my character.
That actually sounds really cool plus it's gay, that's always a bonus
Is this an actual book? I'd love to read it; it sounds like a great read.
I’d also love to read this
@@angelcalderon7456 It’s not a book, unfortunately, but I might just turn into one now since people want to read it :)
@@AubreyFaye Good news! I have turned the roleplay where Asrani is from into 4 books. Currently in the process of writing book one - I will link it here when I've finished it
Perfect song for the Villain Era that is starting. I always love your music and now I really want to read the book.
A RWBY fan? Noice!!
Nesta is my favourite character. I saw myself in her throughout the final book. Most underrated character imo.
This is absolutely beautiful,
The art and music are incredible, the lyrics are so *good*
"I didn't ask for this"
The whole thing captures Nesta perfectly
I can imagine her singing this one night when she finally reached a snapping point
She's a badass, but none of its easy for her. She's so strong and has managed to make it through so much but because she has to, and you can feel it in every lyric
This really is her song
It's like a threat and a cry for help all at once
I am absolutely in love with every part of this
I love Nesta and relate to much to her story. Thank you for this.
This is sooo goood!!!! The lyrics fit Nesta perfectly 😍🖤🖤
Awwww Nesta!! Lovely song and animation!
This animation is Amazing!
Your music is a work of art.
And your voice is so beautiful.
Never stop
I found this song a week ago and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.
This is such a good song!!! I never read the books, but the animation is amazing and it's definitely one of my new favorite songs:)
This deserves so many more views, it's an incredible song and beautiful animation work.
My Nesta Archeron this video is amazing 🥰😍
I've been waiting for this song since you hinted about it in one of your videos! This is absolutely perfect, and it describes Nesta and her trauma really well. She was thrown in to a horrible situation, and she couldn't figure out how to deal with it. She never asked for it.
Another banger by Beth crowley
How could anyone not love Beth , She's so kind and beautiful. If I was her lover, I'd be shaking my head everyday and asking myself. What's my beautiful lady's creations of the mind thinking 🤔 about today ? 🤔 There's no doubt here ..Beth is one beautiful person...LUCKY DOG
I really wish i had the money to buy this book now! This sounds so good!
i love how Cassian is present for a brief moment in this. he really stuck with Nesta through thick and thin, but let her figure it out on her own. everything about the lyrics & animation is absolutely stunning. very well done to everyone involved, and thank you for sharing. ❤️
Oh my goodness, I hardly had to listen to it once before adding it to my playlist of my absolute favorite songs.
The song was absolutely beautiful, so emotional and, well, real. It was an amazing portrayal of how people who have been through traumatic events can fall deeper and deeper into a hole that nobody else can see. And the animation - simply amazing! Beth and Erlance, you’re both incredible.
My favorite line was “When part of me was ripped away, and replaced with something worthless.” I thought this was one of the really raw moments of the song, where we get a true glimpse behind a cold, mean exterior to an insecure girl who thinks that she is a monster.
I’ve never read this series, but now, i really want to!
I read A Court of SIlver Flames a few weeks ago. Nesta is my fav Character and I also love Cassian. I was in love with the 5th part and I'm so happy that I've found this.
One of us!! I Love this song and this series!!!! This animation is beautiful and this song. I'm I love with this whole thing
My favorite singer out there hands down on all songs!
wow..just in awe with all of beth crowley's song. I wish there were one on The Cruel Prince series
@@isthissomegoodemotionaldamage actually I didn't, thanks for it
Nice song
still cant get enough... AMAZING VIDEO ANIMATIONS AND GREAT LYRICS
Seriously this song blows me away bc it fits my dnd character PERFECTLY. I can attach every single line to something in her backstory, her present, or my plans for her. She's a cleric of the Silver Flame so the fact that this character's flame is ALSO SILVER?? Wild. Just. Outstanding.
That's awsome that you can see how it fits your character!
Love the video 😍
This is me..... thank you for showing others in a beautiful way
AHHHHH acosf made nesta one of my favorite characters thanks for making something so amazing
This fits my current breakup with my daughter’s father too a T, the drowning feeling, the unexpected everything, the rage but then also the realization that I’m so much stronger, resilient, capable, and better than I ever knew.
This song is so beautiful, I just love the overall mood which the animation captured PERFECTLY! Such an awesome collaboration deserves all the love, just a big compliment to both of you. I hope to see more of this combination in the future ❤
The animation, the song everything is perfect ! Thank you both so much !
I actually went and bought this book series after hearing this song and seeing this video. You are an awesome singer and songwriter. Thank you for turning me on to a new author.
I love the part where she says "but no one can hear me" and the illustration is Casiano on the roof
The song is beautiful and the animations are amazing! They fit together so well, this should go viral!
Even I didn't read the book, I have to admit that this is amazing.
And the animations 💯💯💯
It describes my feelings almost exactly! Thanks for giving voice to my unspoken emotions!
Omg, this is amazing, literal perfection. The music, the lyrics, the art!! Congrats to you both for making something so breathtakingly beautiful ❤
Amazing when she turrns gold I love this
Omg I just finished reading the book last week this is such good timing and it's Beth Crowley!!!!!!!!!
"Take what's left of my fractured heart" hits so hard😩❤️

I love this song and the animation.
Amazing song and wonderful animation! Now I have to read that book
Amazing, beautiful words and music.waiting for more like this.
I just finished this series and I'm so obsessed! This fits so perfectly to her story ❤
i'm so glad youtube randomly reccomended you, you've such good character songs
if this song isn't used in the real life adaptation, I'm gonna be very upset... it's amazing!!!!
Don't mind me, just admiring this new masterpiece 😍
This was so beautiful!!! The lyrics are so apt i could picture the exact moment from the book that the words were related too! And the music is so soothing along with the animation which goes really well with this song! Great work and song🥰
This song makes me want to like Nesta, instead of hate her. Wonderful job!
I can’t wait to watch this!
Not even done but so many thoughts
I love the chorus so much and the entire thing is amazing
Dealing with a narcissistic. Your music is a lifesaver.
This is so fitting of how I feel right now. Really awesome song and animation
Fell in love with ur music a few months back. This is my fav so far. Hits my core.
I´ve been listening for 3 days non-stop and I love it so so much!!!!
Love the song and the video fits it perfectly!!
you make me wanna read a series I have never heard off in just one song
Screaming right now, this is perfect for Nesta!
Never heard of this show/movie before now, but this song has my interest in it.
This is so beautiful- both the song and the animation, absolute skills
This is so beyond awesome!! The animation fits perfectly with the song!! Well done Beth Crowley and Erlance Art!
oh my god, i am crying thank you for this 😭😭😭😭
I read the whole series!!! I loved it!!! Thank you for making this!!!
This really makes me want to read the series now. But I just bought new books and am not allowed to do it again till I read everything
I love the song and specially the video!!!
"I Didn't Ask For This" is definitely one of my favorite songs that I have written Beth. Luv u and ur music❤
Powerful! Love your music and great video. Best wishes for 2022!
I’ve been waiting forever for this song!! I’m so excited!
Wow, She did an Amazing job!😍
This is absolutely the best song I have ever heard that describes my current self with my narcissistic husband. Although extremely painful for me in my present situation, you did an absolutely amazing job with this song and Shelly incorporating the amazing animated video! I relate to this song 100% nowadays and keep rewatching it for a bit of comfort as I do with most of your songs. Thank you so much for your music. Be very proud of the gift you share with the rest of us out here, your music accomplishments are valued Beth. Blessings to you dear and thank you. 🙏😇💝❣
Honestly this song just represents me. Like I just can't stop wanting to scream in the real world, but this song just screams for me, mentally.
This is amazing!!! The song and ofc the beautiful animation from Erlance!!!
This song fits one of my DnD characters so well
I've never read the book, but as someone who was the black sheep of the family growing up, I find myself relating to this song.
You're only getting better and better. Don't give up. I love this.
Im getting this series to Christmas. I'm very excited ❤️❤️
Incredible!
