Just imagine Scanlan performing this song all around Exandria to remember one of his best friends and he puts so much emotion into it because he'll never be able to get over the fact that he had to choose between Counterspell and save the world or Wish and a small chance to keep his best friend.
"As she curses the queen and her feathered crown" The moment I heard that, I broke down completely and spent the rest of the song sobbing. Loudly. This is the most heartbreaking piece of music I've ever heard...
I play a Kenku cleric, formerly death domain of the Raven Queen and now trickery domain to Vax, in a Wildmount campaign.. This song is canon as one his mother heard sung by a Halfling bard and in turn serenaded her little feather brain to sleep. Skip ahead to his first "adventure" out where the party follows their overly curious Tiefling bard (imagine Tasselhoff) through and into the Faywild, to the middle of a Summer Solstice revelry. This song (and natural 20's from the bard and the feather brain on performance) caused the immediate shift to the Winter Solstice... Only after the more jovial sea shanties in his repertoire has been exhausted. They certainly did enjoy hearing about "The Ruby of the Sea."
Dear Critter, I have to publicly announce that I am listening to your song for the 30th-40th time. I've listened to it at home, I've listened to it while reading... I've listened to it at work... I've listened to it on my way to work... and I still hit replay. I want to thank you for singing of Vax's demons while the odds stand against him.
My listen count is going up and up... :D Thank you again. I've been listening to this so much, I think it was a push forward to write about closure and Vax's death.
This isn't just a good fan song. This is a good song in general. Whether I knew anything about critical role or not I would listen to this. There is such a depth of emotion in the vocal part. You've got a real talent for music and whether it's critical role songs or not I can't wait to hear more of your music.
This was beautifully written I love the part where he asks “ will she bargain against the queen and claim you before the gods “ because we all know thatVex would have done anything even the impossible to keep her twin . She would have dammed the raven queen . Vax is her brother he is not the queens paladin nor her property . He is her twin
Damn the pain....the anguish.....it's all clearly conveyed within this melody of heartache and sorrow....the vocals and words intertwine in such a way that it brings the tales of his sacrifice and the deepening sense of loss from his friends to light......awesomeness in such a sad and cruel victory
Gods damn it I love this song. I discovered it yesterday and I've been playing it on repeat. If this song was played at the end of the final episode I for sure would have cried. This is a fantastic song
The most touching song i've heard for Vax yet...I'm a fellow musician and this is brilliant...all emotion. You know it's gold when every time you play it, it reaches into your chest and grabs you by the soul. Sincerely...thank you for this beautiful song.
Wow. This is so good. I’ve listened to a bunch of Critical Role fan songs, some better than others. This one blows me away. Your talent really shows through. The fact it’s about Critical Role is just gravy. Delicious gravy. I also love how many comments there are compared to the number of views. Critters, man. We’re a passionate bunch.
This is brilliant! Especially with the recent episodes... this really tugged at my heart. I hope you continue to make music! Both your voice and lyric writing skills are beyond stunning.
I was sewing and youtube started shuffling through CR fan music and when this came on I had to stop because I just started crying. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this and sharing it.
Oh God it hurts so bad. You have so expertly crafted a blade of sorrowful song that pierces the hearts of man and God alike. Truly a beautiful song in its pain.
Omg my hands are shaking. This piece is so fucking amazing! Critical role fans are so something so special...You are amazing!!! And your music is something I would be happy to pay for and listen to over and and over again.
This is a wonderful piece of music. It reminds me of some good blues songs. Very heart and soul filled, and i would love to see what else you have in store.
Just finished C1 Ep. 80 and found this song I love it!!! It makes my heart weep but I still put the pieces together on how Vex and the others of VM would feel. Awesome job❤️
Very very cool. Im getting around to everyones tributes and I love this. Kinda has the tones of a version David Cook sang of Billie Jean. Such a dark perfect tone for his story. Great work friend. Subscribed. Best of luck to you.
This is unbelievable outstanding. I can't hit the like button more than once. How have I only found this now! Exceptional, fantastic, emotional. Bravo!!!! You've got me nearly in tears.
honestly I imagine this voice when i imagine the voice of my ranger. I'd love to possibly have a song made for him if i could. Your voice is so amazing

"And you only hope that this fire won’t burn her down." This line gave me goosebumps. This whole song was fantastic.
This song broke me. This is Vax's soul laid bare in the form of song
"As she curses the queen
and her feathered crown"
The moment I heard that, I broke down completely and spent the rest of the song sobbing. Loudly. This is the most heartbreaking piece of music I've ever heard...

Rest easy champion
4 years later this song still strikes all the right points. ive played this for non d&d players absolutely fell in love with the song.

Wow, thank you so much! It means a lot to me that you enjoy it, thank you for listening!
My listen count is going up and up... :D Thank you again. I've been listening to this so much, I think it was a push forward to write about closure and Vax's death.
I agree. This music piece is just stunning. It brings me to tears every time.
Im,with everyone else this piece is amazing and I cry every time do hope to hear more of your music in the future
Why do I imagine this as Percy singing to Vax and begging him to fight the deal for everyone's sake?
Joe sang for Percy in the Exandrian musical. That could be it
@@evemundy4600 SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT
Oh, no wonder when I first heard this it really sounded like Percy.
I’m loving the new campaign but the first will forever hold a place in my heart. This song is so beautiful, totally worth the crying
Farewell Vax'lidan. Rest near your Queen.
This isn't just a good fan song. This is a good song in general. Whether I knew anything about critical role or not I would listen to this. There is such a depth of emotion in the vocal part. You've got a real talent for music and whether it's critical role songs or not I can't wait to hear more of your music.
Wow, you're too kind! Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Greater love hath no man than to give his life for his brother
This was beautifully written I love the part where he asks “ will she bargain against the queen and claim you before the gods “ because we all know thatVex would have done anything even the impossible to keep her twin . She would have dammed the raven queen . Vax is her brother he is not the queens paladin nor her property . He is her twin
Yeah she actually did offer to murder Orcus in the name of the Raven Queen for Vax so there’s that
This makes me want to cry in a good way. And it makes me so excited to see where this goes in the show
"The fire in her eyes and in her hair" - loved that line. And everything about Vex. Just beautiful.
Is that not a reference to Keyleth?
@@wheeliebin18 I think they meant they liked that particular line about Keyleth, and also liked the entire next passage about Vex.
Why I keep listening to this song and breaking my heart all over again is beyond me. It's just too beautiful so I guess the tears are worth it.
Wow. That hit me harder than I thought it would.
Sweet Mother of Ravens this is amazing... Literal chills dude. You captured everything I love and hate about Vaxs decision in a single song.
That was beautiful. I never watched campaign 1, yet I always cry when people talk about Vax's death. It hurts so much.
almost 4 years later and this song still brings me to tears every time I listen to it, hauntingly beautiful, thank you so much for this 🖤
it's the onions i swear... beautiful work.
Damn the pain....the anguish.....it's all clearly conveyed within this melody of heartache and sorrow....the vocals and words intertwine in such a way that it brings the tales of his sacrifice and the deepening sense of loss from his friends to light......awesomeness in such a sad and cruel victory
It has illicited tears from eyes so many times...
How did it take me this long to stumble upon this???!! Still too soon, so many tears
Man, that's an amazing and extremely moving song, you gave life to Vax'Ildan again.
You sir, are awesome. This was a wonderful song. It brought a tear to this soldier's eye.
Sneak attack to the feels
god if you could get this onto spotify i would DIE
I know I'm late to the party, but SAME. I need this on Spotify so bad!
not a day goes by that i don't wish this was on spotify
Gods damn it I love this song. I discovered it yesterday and I've been playing it on repeat. If this song was played at the end of the final episode I for sure would have cried. This is a fantastic song
so many emotions in one song.
i simply have no words to describe this other than all the feels
i just finished and have finally understood the reference to the diamonds that makes this so much deeper than i already thought this was
I sincerely hope Liam has heard this. I loved it and I know he would too.
The most touching song i've heard for Vax yet...I'm a fellow musician and this is brilliant...all emotion. You know it's gold when every time you play it, it reaches into your chest and grabs you by the soul. Sincerely...thank you for this beautiful song.
Ahhh! This is awesome! Critrole is literally my favorite show, and this is an insanely emotional song! Seriously, well done you!
Bidet,

And here I said I wasn't gonna cry...
Vax'ildan was my absolute favorite character of Vox Machina.
