So a lot of you are asking me what my inspiration was for this song. It was actually a mash-up of stuff. I've been wanting to make a kind of sister song to 'Become The Beast' for a long time, which is still one of my favourite songs I ever made. I've also been falling back in love with the awesome tv series 'Penny Dreadful' and binge-watching a lot of true crime stuff on UA-cam and Netflix so I'm going through a bit of a monster obsession at the moment. Last year it was all pirates and now it's things that live in dark. It could almost be a fan song for Penny Dreadful if you wanted to hear it that way, but I wanted to leave it a bit open so you can attach it to your own scary fandoms. I hope you're enjoying it. 😊
Penny Dreadful is really a great show! Not just beautifully dark, dramatic, witchy and exciting, but also so deep in it's meanings... I especially liked all the lines that Frankensteins Monster said, when I watched the series some years ago, I wrote all of them down because I didn't want to loose them 😅
It is a hell of a sister song to "Become the beast", which is still one of my absolute favorite songs from you. Your music really inspires me and lets me be creative myself. I hope there might be some similar themes reaccuring because I think you absolutely nailed both of them.
@@BenSHammonds I always make playlists on Spotify for the books I write and publish, and there are a few of Karliene’s songs that made it on there recently. This may end up being another one.
@@that_grim_kid_jay19 I can definitely relate to that. I can’t exactly listen to music that has lyrics, because it’s too distracting while writing, but that’s not the case when brainstorming ideas.
Our whole life, we run away, hide away from the devil. Suddenly at a point we all realize that the devil we are running away from is none other than ourself.
Some trivia, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a really solid story. Hyde is described several times by Jekyll as a child, who never learned proper self control or how to channel his emotions, while Jekyll considers himself above all else because he can project his violent side into Hyde. When Hyde kills a man in rage he is filled with grief, self hatred, realizes that he has no one to turn to, he has no friends, and his only relative is a coldhearted monster by the name of Dr Jekyll. Towards the end Hyde wishes to disappear, to die so that that he never hurts anyone else again. Jekyll does not allow it.
Edit: Sorry, this seems to have become a ridiculously long comment. I’ll completely understand if it’s just skimmed through. I’m not sure if we read the same book? Dr. Jekyll was consumed with grief at Hyde’s actions, despite feeling a certain exhilaration at the freedom of doing as he pleases, whereas Hyde, as I recall, shows little to no remorse for his actions. Jekyll’s confidence, which starts at the highest of highs, starts to crumble as he realizes that his scientific venture hadn’t only succeeded with severe drawbacks, with Jekyll eventually losing all control over the shifts, but also that that succes couldn’t be attributed to his research-having been caused by an unknown factor outside his knowledge in the serum. He desperately tries to stop Hyde from reappearing, and it is Jekyll that writes his letter of confession and remorse to Utterson before his final struggle. It’s true that Jekyll refers to Hyde as a child on multiple occasions, not only in the context of Hyde’s behaviour but also as a creator looks at his creation, and Jekyll enjoyed that part. At least until he realized that Hyde was willing to take advantage of Jekyll’s soft spot for him, eventually being willing to take full control over their body. The book ends ambiguously, somewhere implying that Jekyll shot himself, but his struggle with Hyde before his death is left open-ended, and we have no certainty as for who actually pulled the trigger. It is only at this point in the book that we can perceive some agony-or at least frustration-on Hyde’s side. It’s a good read nonetheless, but it just feels like what I read and what you read differs vastly somehow? Perhaps it’s a matter of interpretation, but it just seems off.
@@kavertia6261 Ok, now I think that everyone read a different book, because everything is on spot with your explanation, but about the end, they didn't die for a gun shot, they took poison, and it was Dr. Jekyll who did it before he transforms in Mr. Hyde, (because he couldn't control him anymore or when he comes outside) while they were being locked in his room where Dr. Jekyll made everytime the liquid that would change him, that's when Mr. Utterson can break the door and finds Mr. Hyde in the floor, dead from what Dr. Jekyll had taken. Something that I feel about that it's how sad it was, because for a moment, they describe how Hyde wanted to live and he loved life despite every malicious and despicable act he did, how in the end he cries from rage and sorrow, knowing that they were going to die. Now I remember having a mix of emotions towards Dr. Jekyll, because at the beginning he enjoyed being Mr. Hyde, and all the things he did before the murder, how terrible of a person it was, but still made and take the liquid that would change him, yes, he felt grief from what Mr. Hyde had done, but only about the man who died at his hands, he knew that they couldn't stay the same after that, that he couldn't do anything to protect Mr. Hyde from the law (not in the way that he worried about Mr. Hyde safety, but in the way that he couldn't be him any longer for his actions and how far they could go if he didn't control him). So he decide to not take anymore of that, but that's when he noticed how his body slowly started to change even without taken the liquid, realizing that Mr. Hyde wanted to take the control over him. Dr. Jekyll locks himself in that room and he slowly becomes Mr. Hyde, but before that he was looking for the ingredients to make the liquid (I don't exactly remember who was looking for that or for what purpose, if it was Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde, because he transform in Hyde while locked up) I don't know, but at the end Dr. Jekyll wasn't really that good of a person, it's just that he felt grief and guilt for what Mr. Hyde has done. Edit: Just now I remember that it was Mr. Hyde who took the poison, I don't remember exactly how he goes to that conclusion but the feeling of anger and sorrow where still there. Sorry, I read it years ago and my memory may or may not be accurate, but I'm pretty sure of the other things.
@@MrEmpty-eq1se So, I have just taken the time to reread both the final chapter ten as well as the chapter in which Jekyll/Hyde’s death is described (eight) to check if I might have misremembered something, and admittedly I did make a mistake in saying that the death was by gunshot; it is written in chapter eight that “Right in the midst there lay the body of a man sorely contorted and still twitching. They drew near on tiptoe, turned it on its back, and beheld the face of Edward Hyde. [...], but life was quite gone, and by the crushed phial in the hand and the strong smell of kernels that hung upon the air, Utterson knew he was looking on the body of a self-destroyer.” Thus, you were right in saying that the cause of death was poison rather than a gunshot, and I apologize for mixing that up, it’s been a long time since I read it as well. However, in neither Jekyll’s account of the events nor Utterson’s description is it made distinctly clear who exactly took the poison. Utterson draws the conclusion that Hyde did it to himself in chapter eight, when he doesn’t yet know what had happened to Jekyll, but a few sentences before the previous citation we see an interaction between Utterson and a transformed Jekyll which implies that Jekyll was still mentally in control, despite his physical appearance being different: “ ‘Jekyll,’ cried Utterson, with a loud voice, ‘I demand to see you.’ He paused a moment, but there came no reply. ‘I give you fair warning, our suspicions are aroused, and I must and shall see you’ he resumed; ‘if not by fair means, then by foul - if not of your consent, then by brute force!’ ‘Utterson,’ said the voice, ‘for God’s sake, have mercy!’ ‘Ah, that’s not Jekyll’s voice - it’s Hyde’s!’ cried Utterson. ‘Down with the door, Poole!’ “ In this excerpt we see Hyde begging for mercy, but he holds himself toward Utterson with a familiarity that we know to associate with Jekyll-Hyde having had a fairly hostile relationship with Utterson in past interactions. Of course, perhaps it’s the fear of getting caught speaking, making Hyde desperate enough to sincerely beg for compassion, but we simply do not know. From Jekyll’s account, we know that he had at least some control over his body as Hyde, so we can’t exclude the possibility that at that point he was still the one in control. Yet at the same time, we simply don’t know. Jekyll, in his final account on the events, declares carelessness over what might happen to Hyde once he is gone, writing: “And indeed the doom that is closing on both of us has already changed and crushed him. Half an hour from now, when I shall again and for ever reindue that hated personality, I know how I shall sit shuddering and weeping in my chair, or continue, with the most strained and fear-struck ecstasy of listening, to pace up and down this room (my last earthly refuge) and give ear to every sound of menace. Will Hyde die upon the scaffold? or will he find the courage to release himself at the last moment? God knows; I am careless; this is my true hour of death, and what is to follow concerns another than myself. Here, then, as I lay down the pen, and proceed to seal up my confession, I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end.” These are the words with which the book ends, and so yes, Jekyll declares that he lays down his responsibility, forfeiting his right to life and with it his burden of guilt over another’s (for he still believes himself to be different from Hyde) actions, and that he will no longer care what happens after his final transformation, but we don’t get any definitive answer as to who commited the deed. We can’t know either when this was finished being written, and whether Jekyll might have changed his mind, guilt overtaking his resignation. The book heavily implies that it’s Hyde that takes the poison, but it also masterfully avoids telling us whether he actually did, and a lot of writers have a knack for placing red herrings at the end of books. The only one who might know would be Robert Louis Stevenson, and good luck asking his grave. Finally, it was Jekyll who desperately looked for the chemicals from his study, he hoped to find it so he could push back Hyde (he needed to keep taking it to stay as Jekyll), locking himself in the study so his transformations would go unnoticed. When his final bit of working serum runs out, he writes the confession. You’re right that Jekyll wasn’t a good person. He himself writes as such when describing the effects of his serum-noting that Jekyll remained himself, neither particularly good nor evil, just the virtuous, studious man he had been before. The serum brought out his deepest, darkest hidden parts, basically the core of his soul. He writes that, had his intentions been good and moral, what would have appeared instead of Hyde would have been an angel. Thanks for correcting me!
This song really gets the creative juices flowing. Here's a random spitball: I'm thinking a vampire that tries to save a settlement from a great disaster, but is discovered. A mob of people he's trying to protect brutally kill him, and he is unable to save them from the doom.
I’ve been going through a rough time… and my Mommy showed me this beautiful song. I didn’t cry when she first showed me because… you know. Poker face. But as soon as I got home I listened to this again and have been crying my eyes out. It’s a beautiful way to help me release this mess inside myself. Thank you 🙏🏼
Don’t thank the devils. Constantly only thank God. Unless you don’t understand that we are the devils. Only God blesses us. Are you devils God? No. So then don’t act like it. Peace.
as a writer and poet as well as a Gemini I can so relate to this, good mention of Jekyll and Hyde, also Homes and Watson, A Conan Doyle was a Gemini and the characters always reminded me of the two sides to my nature
Such an incredibly well-woven song, from the flawless vocals to the haunting orchestration! I love this exploration of humanity’s own inner demons, it’s absolutely spellbinding. 🖤
I needed to hear this song. I have felt out of place, like I am evil because I carry darkness for decades now. This made me feel a little less alone. I hope more and more writers become inspired to write from this perspective.
I'm in awe listening to this new masterpiece of yours! Amazing melody, lyrics, instrumentation, playing, and the awesome backvocals by Gustavo Steiner!
Holy crap, batman. That gave me chills, and loved every minute of it. This is the first song I've heard from you, and if other songs are as wonderful as this, I'm in for a treat.
I never write comments. This is the first time i do so because no one i ever had heard can move emotions like you with your voice, Karliene. I thank you so much for this gift. Greetings from Germany.
Been writing a vampire book for a while and have had this song blasting in my ears for one of the characters, it's so haunting yet triumphant, with a mix of sorrow and it fits him incredibly well. Truly inspiring.
Such an amazing voice. such powerful music. "Deep in the doldrums of war, all sides, no one talks. If they do not, then let them see all at once - the trades of the way out"
О мой бог...Впервые за долгое время я смогла почувствовать хоть что-то. И пусть это было отчаяние и лютейшая печаль, песня все равно шикарна и великолепна ~
As a Hannibal series fan and a fan of your "Become the Beast" song, I love this so much. And what a powerful text and the music! I love that your voice in this song is quite calm, which makes a perfect contrast and it's as if you're telling people the cold and scary truth.
I've never commented on a video before, took me a minute to figure it out. I wanted to let you know that I have been a subscriber for years and you are my favorite artists. I absolutely love your voice and you give my Irishman blood joy and peace in trying times.Thank you and I love you.
Stumbled across this late last night. Karliene you have a true gift. Your music is so beautifully haunting. It’s exactly everything I love wrapped in one song. The lyrics are so intricately woven. I have no words. ❤
Superb use of the craft here. Dark, haunting and totally spellbinding. I add my voice to the many who agree that you hold within such an all enveloping voice, the emotion and feeling you bring to your followers is not just musical it is a physical touch. 💖 🤗
Straight up loved this honestly puts me in mind of a character of mine that is Lucifer's daughter and how she kinda sees that they don't look like devils to most but finds that she's not the only one who thinks humans are part of their reason for being there. So she kinda confinds in not exactly doing what her daddy does even though he's a pretty dang good mob boss. but tries to see if humans are kinda also like devils. loved this and I can relate to the monster obsession lately been watching horror and stuff and writing books surrounded by horror elements. Much love to you.
I have the strong desire to hear this sung in a gothic thriller! The mood you are able to set with your voice and the accompanying orchestra is magical, Karliene! 💖
Hi Karliene, I wanted to thank you for your music! I've had a rare, miserable chronic disease since I was 2, just didn't know about it until 2010, I'm 46 & always looking for ways to cope. Your music helps so much! I "dance", combo of ballet, yoga, martial arts. Movement is good but hard to do with fevers & pain. Close eyes, meditate & see myself fighting alongside Anne & Mary. So thank you for giving me another way to help cope! Blessed Be!
I kind of want to put a metal aspect on this song and keep the creepy build, but after each run with the chorus, it gets heavier. ugh, this is so good!
Very nice . Im also a penny dreadful fan . I have the series . But havent watched it for some time . Great vocals . Soft and soothing voice. ill be sure to listen to your other songs. Sydney australia .10/3/2023
This song is a beautiful reminder that we all have a shadow aspect of ourselves. Darkness isn’t always bad nor is the light always good. We must find a balance within ourselves. 🖤❤️
Beautiful voice and an absolutely gorgeous song, I found the magic of Karliene through her Game of Thrones inspired songs, but having listened to The Highwayman, Anne Bonny, Elizabeth, and Anne Boleyn, I haven’t listened to anything else for the last 3-4 months
@@Karliene I have a playlist on Spotify, I think it’s about 150 songs in that one playlist, and the way you sing, it tells the story, and I would love to see a show based on your music, whether it’s the highwayman, or the story of Anne Bonny, but your voice is angelic keep up with the beautiful storytelling songs ❤️
Just found you. In a long list of songs I wasn't particularly interested in listening to, this one caught my eye and I'm.... enchanted. Your beautiful dark music is exactly what I'm always looking for and so rarely find. Thank you. You have a wonderful voice, great lyrics... this hits all the marks for me. Truly beautiful.
Love the artwork. Horrifying. Those eyes the last thing you see. I'd be like the joker and go out laughing with something like, "wow, who knew the devil was a jewa." as my soul was devoured. All this from the pic. Can't wait for the song. Went straight through my soul, Karliene. Most amazing voice my ears have ever heard!
Oooh! I wish I’d found this one earlier! I love Karliene. Also that lyric: he was born under Gemini. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde… story of my life. It’s always like there’s two people in me. A duality and a walking contradiction that has to constantly choose to be good. 😂😂😂
Very on the nose for things currently. I love this song, even though it’s hard to listen to some days. I love your music. Thank you for doing what you do.
This is a trip to listen to while undergoing hellish drug withdrawals. Totally sober now... but a year and a half ago, I discovered this song during a twisted friggin time. It hits hard now, though.
Definitely an interesting song to listen to first-thing in the morning as I get ready for work, but no way am I passing up a new release from Karliene!
This gave me chills and the picture and video filter make it even more so. Makes me think of Rosemary's Lullaby from Rosemary's Baby...chilling and beautiful
As a writer who does literary online roleplay of canon characters and originals, this song works for a couple of my characters. Thank you so much for making it! It is a brilliant song!

Thus, you were right in saying that the cause of death was poison rather than a gunshot, and I apologize for mixing that up, it’s been a long time since I read it as well.
However, in neither Jekyll’s account of the events nor Utterson’s description is it made distinctly clear who exactly took the poison. Utterson draws the conclusion that Hyde did it to himself in chapter eight, when he doesn’t yet know what had happened to Jekyll, but a few sentences before the previous citation we see an interaction between Utterson and a transformed Jekyll which implies that Jekyll was still mentally in control, despite his physical appearance being different:
“ ‘Jekyll,’ cried Utterson, with a loud voice, ‘I demand to see you.’ He paused a moment, but there came no reply. ‘I give you fair warning, our suspicions are aroused, and I must and shall see you’ he resumed; ‘if not by fair means, then by foul - if not of your consent, then by brute force!’
‘Utterson,’ said the voice, ‘for God’s sake, have mercy!’
‘Ah, that’s not Jekyll’s voice - it’s Hyde’s!’ cried Utterson. ‘Down with the door, Poole!’ “
In this excerpt we see Hyde begging for mercy, but he holds himself toward Utterson with a familiarity that we know to associate with Jekyll-Hyde having had a fairly hostile relationship with Utterson in past interactions. Of course, perhaps it’s the fear of getting caught speaking, making Hyde desperate enough to sincerely beg for compassion, but we simply do not know. From Jekyll’s account, we know that he had at least some control over his body as Hyde, so we can’t exclude the possibility that at that point he was still the one in control. Yet at the same time, we simply don’t know.
Jekyll, in his final account on the events, declares carelessness over what might happen to Hyde once he is gone, writing:
“And indeed the doom that is closing on both of us has already changed and crushed him. Half an hour from now, when I shall again and for ever reindue that hated personality, I know how I shall sit shuddering and weeping in my chair, or continue, with the most strained and fear-struck ecstasy of listening, to pace up and down this room (my last earthly refuge) and give ear to every sound of menace.

I never write comments. This is the first time i do so because no one i ever had heard can move emotions like you with your voice, Karliene. I thank you so much for this gift. Greetings from Germany.
Dark, poetic, hauntingly beautiful. UA-cam happened to recommend this on the sidebar and I am glad I clicked to check it out.
The queen has posted!🙏
"In the night we fear ourselves" gave me chills
Karliene is the finest artiste in this genre of music. A great storyteller, a clear captivating voice with a fine choice of background music.
Been writing a vampire book for a while and have had this song blasting in my ears for one of the characters, it's so haunting yet triumphant, with a mix of sorrow and it fits him incredibly well. Truly inspiring.
Our greatest enemy lies within our very being. Freaking awesome song hon, well done.
Its better to present with out fear than with in.
Such an amazing voice. such powerful music. "Deep in the doldrums of war, all sides, no one talks. If they do not, then let them see all at once - the trades of the way out"
I've been a witch for 10 years now. Karlen. Succubus. Enchantress. Daughter of night. Thank you.
О мой бог...Впервые за долгое время я смогла почувствовать хоть что-то. И пусть это было отчаяние и лютейшая печаль, песня все равно шикарна и великолепна ~
As a Hannibal series fan and a fan of your "Become the Beast" song, I love this so much. And what a powerful text and the music! I love that your voice in this song is quite calm, which makes a perfect contrast and it's as if you're telling people the cold and scary truth.
Beautiful, dark, poetic. As always. Your music is everything.
Why do i feel so calm right now , when i listen to this awesome song?? 🖤🖤 Chill 🖤
I've never commented on a video before, took me a minute to figure it out. I wanted to let you know that I have been a subscriber for years and you are my favorite artists. I absolutely love your voice and you give my Irishman blood joy and peace in trying times.Thank you and I love you.
Welcome to the club Dave. 😀
This and Become the Beast are my favorites, I wish there were more darkly enthralling songs like these, it's so hard to find such music.
Mine too.
I love the picture and and dark ambiance music
This and "Become the Beast" are inspiration for my novel Captain Grey. Thank you so much for making this!
The way your voice blends in the melody is beautiful ! It gives the song an ancient witch song-like kinda vibe, loving it !
Stumbled across this late last night. Karliene you have a true gift. Your music is so beautifully haunting. It’s exactly everything I love wrapped in one song. The lyrics are so intricately woven. I have no words. ❤
Superb use of the craft here.
Dark, haunting and totally spellbinding.
I add my voice to the many who agree that you hold within such an all enveloping voice, the emotion and feeling you bring to your followers is not just musical it is a physical touch. 💖 🤗
Haven’t even heard the song yet and I’m already liking, saving in my playlist and searching for it on Spotify
I hope you like it 😊
Currently writing a book and this is yet another song added to my inspirational playlist. This is beautiful
Amazing song, Her voice, the lyrics, and the music, blended perfectly!!
Yeah, absolutely!
this... is music
Straight up loved this honestly puts me in mind of a character of mine that is Lucifer's daughter and how she kinda sees that they don't look like devils to most but finds that she's not the only one who thinks humans are part of their reason for being there. So she kinda confinds in not exactly doing what her daddy does even though he's a pretty dang good mob boss. but tries to see if humans are kinda also like devils. loved this and I can relate to the monster obsession lately been watching horror and stuff and writing books surrounded by horror elements. Much love to you.
I have the strong desire to hear this sung in a gothic thriller! The mood you are able to set with your voice and the accompanying orchestra is magical, Karliene! 💖

Hi Karliene, I wanted to thank you for your music! I've had a rare, miserable chronic disease since I was 2, just didn't know about it until 2010, I'm 46 & always looking for ways to cope. Your music helps so much! I "dance", combo of ballet, yoga, martial arts. Movement is good but hard to do with fevers & pain. Close eyes, meditate & see myself fighting alongside Anne & Mary. So thank you for giving me another way to help cope! Blessed Be!
Checking out the lyrics and I can’t wait to hear it!
I kind of want to put a metal aspect on this song and keep the creepy build, but after each run with the chorus, it gets heavier. ugh, this is so good!
Such a masterpiece!
Thanks 🙏 that's what art is the words of a forgotten genius in the voice of a genius indeed.
I always love how you sings songs of the creepy/Halloween-y way, just love it. Would love more please.
this is so powerful. it gave me shivers! thank you for creating this. Much love from Bulgaria.
I'm happy we are two fans in Bulgaria ❤️
@@Natureismyhome770 It's 3 now

I just discovered your music today, It's truly Soul music. Thank you for your gift! Love and Light...
Great job guys... super lyrics Po.

Haunting yet beautiful, another incredible song!
ua-cam.com/video/svaJ_u5qSvg/v-deo.html❤️❤️
This cover is simply amazing. Can’t stop listening to it.
This song is a beautiful reminder that we all have a shadow aspect of ourselves. Darkness isn’t always bad nor is the light always good. We must find a balance within ourselves. 🖤❤️
Beautiful voice and an absolutely gorgeous song, I found the magic of Karliene through her Game of Thrones inspired songs, but having listened to The Highwayman, Anne Bonny, Elizabeth, and Anne Boleyn, I haven’t listened to anything else for the last 3-4 months
I'm so glad you're enjoying my music so much. Thanks for the amazing support. x
@@Karliene I have a playlist on Spotify, I think it’s about 150 songs in that one playlist, and the way you sing, it tells the story, and I would love to see a show based on your music, whether it’s the highwayman, or the story of Anne Bonny, but your voice is angelic keep up with the beautiful storytelling songs ❤️
I'm amazed... I really, and deeply love your' works. Such a great artist....
Accurate and beautiful as always love.
Just found you. In a long list of songs I wasn't particularly interested in listening to, this one caught my eye and I'm.... enchanted. Your beautiful dark music is exactly what I'm always looking for and so rarely find. Thank you. You have a wonderful voice, great lyrics... this hits all the marks for me. Truly beautiful.
I bow to the Queen Kathleen.. Queen of the songwriters and that Angelic voice
I am just gobsmacked. What a powerful, moving, and epic song.
just when i thought i was out of my monster building phase, i get launched back into it every time i listen to your music
Whoever did the art knew what they were doing, it is excellent and makes me want more witch themed songs.
I just discovered you and I can't believe you exist, such beautiful music and feels, its sooo addictive to me, i love the darkness feels ❤
Love the artwork. Horrifying. Those eyes the last thing you see. I'd be like the joker and go out laughing with something like, "wow, who knew the devil was a jewa." as my soul was devoured. All this from the pic. Can't wait for the song.
Went straight through my soul, Karliene. Most amazing voice my ears have ever heard!
Jewa?
I think he meant jawa?
Oops, but yeah nah, even Jawas need book keepers :P
It's very sinister but truthful, and absolutely captivating, I got goosebumps!
Such inspiring, breathtaking and catchy. Thank you.
a year later and I am still quite taken by this song. I have always found myself to be the joker and the jester, but never the king
Really why is her songs so underrated...the lyrics are wonderful...I love them
This are the best lyrics you can find in a song until present. ❤
Wow nice place nice music love it
Thanks for your music! Listen at it many years and it always give me fellings, good, bad amazing!!!!! You are great!
When here that song makes me think that in every darkness we made people out to be theirs always a light of kindness to bright out the darkness
Sometimes insomnia is a great thing when you come across a stunning gem like this .
Oooh! I wish I’d found this one earlier! I love Karliene. Also that lyric: he was born under Gemini. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde… story of my life. It’s always like there’s two people in me. A duality and a walking contradiction that has to constantly choose to be good. 😂😂😂
A one of a kind masterpiece all around.
Mmmmmm poetic, touched my soul 💙🙏
Presentation of a dark truth in an artistic way....
Loved it.
Your music and the voice speek straight to the soul!!!
how can i unlove you? when you make such masterpiece songs like these?
Very on the nose for things currently. I love this song, even though it’s hard to listen to some days. I love your music. Thank you for doing what you do.
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here"
Shakespeare - The Tempest
This song is a masterpiece. I absolutely love it.
Karliene, this is why I love you so much. You not just have an incredible haunting voice but you're also so smart
Derivate of “Become the beast”
I love it 🙏. Thank you Karliene
This is a trip to listen to while undergoing hellish drug withdrawals. Totally sober now... but a year and a half ago, I discovered this song during a twisted friggin time. It hits hard now, though.
So good to see you again, Karliene.
Hope everything is ok now!
❤️
Did she feel ill? What happened?
Yes what happened i also didn't know nothing.But i hope now everything is ok
She is singing about the one collective mother of humanity. We have the design before us we now will feel it from within each and all.
Goosebumbs, hauntingly beautiful ❤️😍
Definitely an interesting song to listen to first-thing in the morning as I get ready for work, but no way am I passing up a new release from Karliene!
This is hauntingly beautiful.
Sympas l'Ecosse très doux à l'écoute :)
This is such an amazing song. I can't stop listening to it on repeat.
The most beautiful I've heard in a long time... Es precioso!!! I love your song... 🖤 I love your music... ❤
This gave me chills and the picture and video filter make it even more so. Makes me think of Rosemary's Lullaby from Rosemary's Baby...chilling and beautiful
Absolutely amazing! Strings, piano, and power chords. Thank you 🙏 🌒
As a writer who does literary online roleplay of canon characters and originals, this song works for a couple of my characters. Thank you so much for making it! It is a brilliant song!
That was incredible
So great
