I'm excited to be uploading this, I've loved this song for many years. Cheers, and happy 2023.
**Waiting patiently for a cover of Gloria because now I think that Kalafina and Raf is a match made in heaven** :)
Kalafina is one of my favorite artists, what an honor. I'll look into covering more of their songs in the future, thank you Titan
100% agreed! I hope to be blessed with covers of "Magia" and "Lacrymosa" one day. Kalafina is still one of the most magical music groups and Raffie covering one of their songs is something I never thought of before. Raf is always a goddess and this proves it even moreso
@@RafScrap Actually one I think your voice could be perfect for is Misterioso, from Madoka Magica Rebellion. You'd excel at that one I feel.
My best friend has described Raf’s vocal range as the following:
Mommy, feral gay vibes, and comforting.
I’d agree, but she listed masochism tango under the comforting category.
I think your best friend summed up my channel very well
Even as an aroace guy I can agree with that summary. Although I might tack on temptress/siren and potential villianess.
Sometimes horror is so beautiful, and you stare at it just as a will-less hare stare at a deadly and glimmering body of snake. It might meant to be scary but you just can't look away... And so you savor it.
@@ArsenFox Very true, though in this particular case, I think some people don't know much about SnM and what it can mean to people
I don't understand how someone's voice can be so beautiful and charming...
Felt a little shy reading this haha thank you very much
@@RafScrap aghh ty and nppp
Witchcraft
@@matthewminer1504 >:c its not
Voice? Heavenly. Art? Otherworldly. This video? A heavenly, otherworldly masterpiece. I’m also sooo ecstatic to see you animating more intricate MVs lately.💙
This was suppose to be a still video upload, but I changed my mind last minute--your comment makes that decision so worth it. Glad you enjoyed angel
You're officially the Siren Goddess of Music.
Officially christened by the lovely Luna. I'll wear the title with pride.
Ah yes something to help heal my ankle after falling down the stairs (don't ask how it's embarrassing) very soothing and heavenly voice indeed
I won't ask how, but I hope for a safe and quick recovery. Thank you as always Amaelle, feel better soon!
OH MY GOD. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT THAT YOU COVER ONE OF MY FAVORITE KALAFINA'S SONG. OH MY GOD. 😭❤
Thank you for covering this song. I still can't believe it. Most of Kalafina's song are difficult to sing because sooo many high note on each song. But you did it, incredible! Thank you, Raf!
I can't believe I did this either tbh, hope you enjoyed
@@RafScrap of course I enjoyed this! Again, thank you for singing this song and this amazing art work! ❤
I’m obsessed
Yo lydia your here makes it even better :)
Appreciate you, and hello obsessed.
i'm dad.
@@RafScrap not the dad jokes 😂
Ah, just what I needed after the attempt on my life that was my shift this morning.
I'm sorry work is so stressful princess, take it easy when you can
@@RafScrap Ack- my heart.
Holy shit! This is the Raf I was waiting for! Brilliant and Excellent cover!
Glad it was worth the wait Janessa, appreciate the lovely comment.
Yesss sage 🙌 sage is my favorite out of your oc’s and to see her story unfold was awesome 😎 wonderful work as always Raf 👏👏👏💗💗
That's a new one, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed. Thank you always for your support Elyzabeth
@@RafScrapof course 😊 I actually drew sage a couple of days ago after your post on how you draw your characters eyes and when I saw this I was like huh that’s an odd Coincidence 😂💗💗
I CAN'T BELIEVE I WITNESS SUCH PERFECTION. Thank you for this cover queen! 🥺❤️
My pleasure entirely, hope you have a lovely lunar new year! ❤️
Truly beautiful. Keep the magnificent work up. You're like a swarm. It just keeps spreading a growing stronger until you wonder. Will it ever end. Will its beauty ever have an ending and for all out sakes. I hope that this lasts for years to come because your music is just beautiful with a burning passion. An eternal flame that keeps burning bright.
What a poetic and lovely sentiment, Captain. I'll treasure it, thank you very much. Have a safe and happy lunar new year!
@@RafScrap pleasures all mine I wish you the same.
My siren queen, love of the seven seas. Your water fairy has come within the first hour of uploading to bear witness to your beauty, which I do believe to be the first of this year. As always, you absolutely floor your Primo with your talent and skill, and may you continue to receive success with your lovely videos. Stay happy and healthy, Raf. 😘🤗🥹🫠
My water fairy has come, and here she shall stay, because I refuse to let you go anywhere. Always a pleasure to see you enjoying little love, thank you for the support. Now accept your fate of being trapped with me forever
@@RafScrap Dowowowow. Primo cannot deny her siren queen of this wish. *Waddles and nestles in Raf's embrace in skrunkly moe water fairy*
Oh boy! More RafScrap covers AND lore on her OCs - and of course, it comes when I'm out watching my cousin's skating performance so I only saw it just now. FIGURES.
Well, in any case, this is absolutely amazing as always! As if the vocals, art and animation weren't already beyond divine, now there's lore to consider - it seems like Sage and Ara had some kind of relationship, but I'm still befuddled as to what exactly that entailed. Were they lovers before Ara died and Sage went on a quest of vengeance? Was Ara working with Hydra to entrap and kill Sage? ...Was Ara trying to entrap Sage for her own purposes and Hydra just took the opportunity to kill the Conqueror (and also possibly the Spider)? I eagerly await more details on this fantastic universe of yours - as well as the beautiful covers that accompany each snippet!
*rains down Praise and Encouragement Cookies in tribute to Raf's ever-growing awesomeness*
So Beautiful i Love it Good job
Appreciate the love and support Julia!
@@RafScrap 😊👍🫂❤️
Oh god I'm in love with this song, the lyrics, voice, arts and god damn everything
heavenly masterpiece
I'll cherish that love Evelyn, thank you very much ♡
It's wonferful ! You sing it so beautifully ! Thank you so much for this masterpiece ! 🥹🙏❤️
Entirely my pleasure, happy to see you enjoying
Originial version is good but this one gave me goosebumps
As a huge Kalafina fan, that means a lot lot me. Thank you
You're as impressive and skilled as ever, Raf. Very well done!
It sounds SO touching, I feel comforting and feel like crying at the same time.
OLHA ESSA VOZ, EU ESTOU APAIXONADA PELA ESSA VOZ!!
it's me! back again!
if you find any errors just let me know :D
i have no clue what is being said since it's japanese, so i'll use timestamps like last time and only put the unsung phrases.
[edit: fixed some timestamps, my bad ahaha]
0:22 to 0:27
(0:22) A miracle will happen just once more
(0:27) In a gentle voice, you imagine a warped future.
0:33 to 0:53
(0:33) to create a world
(0:36) to create a world where no one cries
(0:40) In an empty sky, stained crimson
(0:45) My prayers and cries reach no one and disappear
(0:53) I can continue on without comfort
0:57 to 1:21
(0:57) The light of a beautiful moon
(1:01) sinks to the beginning
(1:07) towards that distance
(1:10) which is yet so far away
(1:15) I hold out my hands
(1:18) with closing eyes,
(1:21) believing in your lamentation
1:41 to 2:12
(1:41) The truth is that you wanted to be saved
(1:47) Your lost heart bores a hole in the sky
(1:53) if I could choose you
(1:56) just the two of us,
(1:59) I would search for happiness
(2:06) Even if my body is burnt by cold flame,
(2:12) I can continue on without comfort
2:16 to 2:47
(2:16) The light of a beautiful moon
(2:21) Only quietly
(2:24) erodes to the beginning
(2:29) My locked away desire
(2:34) is still far away
(2:37) within the darkness
(2:40) All the days that
(2:42) I lived with you
(2:47) are a gentle song
You put so much effort into these, such a rewarding experience to see how closely you've observed. Thank you very much, and happy Lunar New Year ♡
@@RafScrap No, thank you for making it so awesome! I love seeing all the little details and how much effort you've put into this. From "Alice of Human Sacrifice" to now, you've created some amazing lore out of a simple little song! It's only right to appreciate such passion and give it proper recognition ♥
I always love listening to this in the mornings when getting ready for school. Feeling only a bit sick in the morning isn’t unusual so its calmer I guess to have more calmer music on rather than my usual upbeat, shouty music
Sage, the Conqueror. I see how she got that title. It's how I feel when Raf sings and displays her incredible talent for art, animation, and even mixing, I feel conquered by Raf. It's a blissful feeling.
T posing to assert dominance
RafScrap, the artist where every frame is a wallpaper
Means a lot to me Ray, thank you for the love!
*slaps table* AAAAAAA HOLY-
Words can’t describe the feelings I am feeling right now, my queen-
Oooooh I never stopped walking so quickly to listen to something so beautiful
Hopefully you stopped somewhere safe, thank you always for your comments, gives me many warm and fuzzies. Happy Lunar New Year!
@@RafScrap don’t worry, I was on a trail! And I’m glad my comments make you happy, I’m sure every comment does!
Such a beautiful song, not to mention the vocals! Great work!
Very sweet of you, appreciate it 🙏
leaping over the edge of my ship to swim to the source of this siren song actually,,,,,,,
Also yes this is making me SO nostalgic for Madoka Magica. Beautiful cover, absolutely jaw dropping and stunning.
very pretty raf, amazing as always
This is beyond beautiful!!!!!! I can hear your voice on replay all day and will never be tired of it haha 🤧 bravo bravo bravo 🙌 love The hair blowing ahhh amazing 🍓🥰
Te quiero mucho mamacita, I'm glad you enjoyed. Let me serenade you my love
@@RafScrap Te quiero Mucho papi Chulo 💓, haha 🫣 I would be honored my love💋 You don’t even have to ask I’ll gladly let you sweetheart 👉🏻👈🏻
This is PERFECT! 🤩 Your voice, the artwork!
Now that I think about it, Kalafina has a lot of songs that you could totally own--they really fit your darkly beautiful aesthetic.
As a huge Kalafina fan, that means a lot to me. I hope to cover more of their songs in the future, so please keep a lookout.
@@RafScrap Awesome! 🤩 I'll definitely keep a lookout!
Excited for your next song, whatever it is! 😄
HELLO HI YES I WAS IN THE CAR EARLIER AND COULDN'T LISTEN BUT NOW IT'S RAF APPRECIATION TIME.
The vocals are exquisite, soothing, heavenly. The art style is impecable, captivating, beautiful. All in all, I love absolutely everything of this video, ~as I always do with all other raf videos, don't come for me I'm very biased I lubbu raf /p~ and it makes me glad that I found your content. It always makes my day to see a new notification, and your songs bring incredible comfort to me whenever I'm feeling down/upset. I hope to one day be able to gather the courage to post my own singing online and... possibly one day sing with you? It's a longshot fantasy, but a person can dream... lol. Thank you so much for everything Raf.
Raf Appreciation Time (or RAT for short) is a very rewarding experience, thank you. I'm happy to be able to bring you comfort through music. Yours is a sweet aspiration, best of luck on your musical journey. Happy Lunar New Year Marian!
@@RafScrap Happy Lunar New Year to you too Raf!! I'm glad you enjoy reading RAT as much as I love typing it out :D and tbh about that aspiration I have, I've debated posting a few youtube shorts but idk if that's a good idea or not? Plus I don't really have any professional recording stuff lmfao just my phone... I guess I could use my gaming headset and not show my face? I'd be singing a variety of songs in English and Spanish that's for sure hehe but yes it's a dream I've had for a while to start something with singing on TH-cam and I think your comment might be the thing to finally convince me to!! You're an inspiration Raf, thank you so much for everything that you do, whether it's comfort from your covers, or inspiring, uplifting and encouraging words in your replies to people's comments on your masterpieces.
How your voice becomes more and more angelic?? I really love the way it sounds, make me feel in heaven
Is the best feeling in the world, thanks, Angel of Music ^^
Such a heavenly voice as usual! I loved the art so much this time around!! After hearing Magia years ago, it made me wonder if you'd sing another Kalafina song!
Had to come back to Kalafina, I love their music. Glad you enjoyed, thank for sticking around for so many years ♡
H- HIRAF! The art, the class, the style, the sass! Your enthralling and beautiful voice is luring me to a rabbit hole- I’ll gladly jump in, holy dang. Pure, dark and Hydraf! My gosh, you’re stealing my heart- omgimobsessed- you did great (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) so great I’m crying out of pure awe, proudness and joy- I’m still crying-
Mmm yummy Song tears mmmm
Makes me happy to see you happy and enjoying, thank you always for taking the time to comment Song
This sounds and looks so gorgeous, wow
I’ve been listening to RafScrap for a while now and I was so excited to see this video come out! The visuals are as stunning as the voice! 😊
Thank you Jinya, your excitement and lovely comment motivates me.
@@RafScrap Thank you for all of your hard work! It is always a joy to see what your next upload is!
OMG, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU COVERED TO THE BEGINNING!!! AHHHHH!!! The art and your voice is ✨️perfection✨️
I love hearing your voice my love, 💙💙
Was amazing to wake up to a cover thank you for filling elisabirds ears with such beauty. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Haven’t heard Kalafina in a while, but this is unbelievably stunning!
You are just SO beautiful in your art work and in real life. I also love your voice 🤩💖
What a lovely thing to say, thank you Kayo Chan.
Amazing!
I love watching the series. I saw the art and got really excited! Raf has made me pumped to take on the New Year with another amazing cover and art! 🔥🔥🔥
This kind of makes me want to watch Fate/Zero! Beautiful as always Raf!
Also, I just wanted to say thank you. The last few months of 2022 were kind of rough but listening to your voice helped me through it. I hope you have a safe and happy 2023.
Such sweet melodies fill the void of my bitter sorrow
WTF IS WRONG WITH TH-cam!?? This channel should have much more subscribers than it has!
i might be late this time but- i was stunned with your amazing voice once again. Why is it so tempting? and sooo perfect.i can't even the amount of work you put in to make your videos!
love your work so very much raf (and of course you too).i hope to be able to support you in any way possible for all your videos like before..keep it up queen!!!
💝 Absolutely stunning
Thank you RAF! This is my favourite Kalafina song 😭
One of mine as well, absolutely my pleasure to create a rendition you enjoy Edgaras.
i dont even know the original song but this cover is wonderful!❤❤❤ love it!
As a huge fan of the original, I'm honored to get to introduce this song to you. Thank you Zuzana ♡
What a way to celebrate CNY
Red for good luck
and sometimes blood
I’ve been your fan for a while, but I’ve always been too shy to comment. But after you made a cover of my favorite song…I had to! Beautifully done, both the cover and the art ❤❤❤
I LOVE IT SM
Appreciate the love Leelee 🙏
Omg Raf your voice in this is beyond gorgeous and charming. You did a wonderful job 💜
WOW😍
Happy Lunar New Year Evan!
@@RafScrap You Too 🥰
Still makes me feel so nostalgic. Nostalgia + Waffy = A Hamster Living Her Best Life
So gorgeous as always, Waffy~ Sage looking so heroic in her dazzling armor and all that beautiful red. And that 90s touch? Okay~ 👀 And I see those ship moments. Save your bae, Sage, with your sharp blade and beautiful flowing hair. I'm rooting for you -until Hydra comes in and then I'm peacing out; sorry not sorry.- Absolutely beautiful, myam~ Your vocals make me weak. Actually, your everything makes me weak. _huggles you with jelly arms_
I absolutely love your art and animation
Another beautiful release!!! 💞💞💞💞💞💞 everything of it I mean TT-TT
Loved this oh my Raf 👀❤️ the black on red art soooo good 😭 also love the appearance of the oc characters 👀🙌 hydra chopping his way though the goddess at 0:41 that was a great touch 🤣🙌❤️ your voice going Ethereal in places was just beautiful amazing (I’ve run out of words🤣) aaahhhh stunning as always 🙌
Hydra is female but yes, I really enjoyed working on that particular frame. Always a pleasure to see you enjoying my precious, happy Lunar New Year ♡
yes yes yes yes!!!! LOVE kalafina so much, this is an insta-click!!
You sound so beautiful, and your voice fits their music amazingly!
😍
As a fan of Kalafina, that means a lot. As a fan of you, that means even more. Thank you very much ♡
waiting for kalafina's magic song if possible pls 🧡💚
RAFCRAF AS LANCELOT BERSERKER I LOVE IT
I just adore the abstract and ominous touches that her videos, drawings, and music choice have😭🤌🤌🤌
Raf and Kalafina? God yes. I didn’t know I needed this. Absolutely Divine Raf. I can only hope to get more Kalafina content. “Fairytale” is my favourite 🥰
Will definitely look into that one, I love Kalafina's music ♡ Glad a fellow fan enjoyed!
👏 amazing as always
Once again, the video is so beautiful... The art, the animation, everything. I enjoy a lot of cover artists on TH-cam but Rafscrap really is above the rest. There's the amazing voice, but the visuals are really stunning and I really pay attention to it due to art school so for that Rafscrap is my favorite artist among all 😳😳😳
Means a lot to me, thank you Arwen. Wishing you the best of luck with your art school!
I’m finally for once thank you notifications
Thanks for having them on, appreciate the support!
@@RafScrap your welcome I love your content so keep the jolly good show going
My God Raf!!!! This is beautiful! My heart is filled with some emotion I can't explain, fantastic work!
My heart feels warm reading this, thank you as always Jade!
I’m Literally In a Trance 😍 This’ll Be On Repeat For A Loooong While Raf. That Was Seriously AWESOME! 👏🏽
Means a lot to see an artist I'm a fan of enjoying. Thank you MJ ♡
This is the most beautiful song you've ever created! I love the visuals and your angelic voice! Happy lunar new year!
Means a lot that you enjoyed, Amy. Have a safe and blessed lunar new year
another addition to the raf cinematic universe fr fr
SPECTACULAR AND AWESOME AS ALWAYS
Ah yes, the RCU, if you will. Glad you enjoyed Maria ♡
Gonna sob this is literally one of my favorite songs, so to see you cover it is a blessing among blessings
delicious tears
glad you enjoyed this rendition of one your favorites, i'm honored.
That moment when you're just trying to nap and a snake pops out of your chest.
Talk about a day ruined smh
Rooting and sobbing in the back for the new lore, I am getting quite attached to Sage and Ara and I think it’s not a good thing because half (if not 99.99999999%) of your OCs have tragic ends and my heart is not ready for it 😭😂 Again, damn, you’re sending me in the depths of nostalgia with this song, I’ve listened to some covers of it on loop back then! Happy to be able to add one more beautiful cover, this one being yours! I can’t wait to know more about all of your OCs 🙏🥰
Yays. New raf!!!
Yays Raf noticed me
@@RafScrap eep I'm sorry
@@yulixis2715 HAHA no that was a dad-joke reply to someone else, I apologize. Thank you for the lovely comment
@RafScrap I'm sorry I realized after I clicked send,
Anyways your songs make my days better, please keep it up, at your own pass and your own quality!
Las canciones de Kalafina son dificilísimas pero lo tuyo está a otro nivel. El toque grave le da un aire peligroso, hermoso y encantador a la vez. Me encanta!!
❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Amazing as always my queen. I was listening to this and you now have a new follower in my 17 yr old cousin, bless his little heart.
That's so sweet, tell him I said thank you and welcome. Glad you enjoyed Naomi!
Okay, I came here for more Phantom and you slapped me in the face with FATE FREAKIN ZERO???
Pls excuse me while I file this in the cluttered corner of my mind that muses over Saber/Irisviel 😅
How can someone have such an angelic voice, art as good as Michelangelo and make top tier animations. I'm impressed... no, I'm astonished!
I loved this video and your voice is as wonderful to listen to as ever! ❤️
I was also wondering, if you are taking requests, could you possibly do a cover of the song "Kiss Me You Animal" by Burn the Ballroom? I think this would be a fun song to see you cover as well as our reactions to it 😄
As always the siren voice gets to me as well as the amazing artwork ❤️❤️❤️
As always, I am honored. Thank you very much
The next time someone tells me sirens don't exist, I'm going to show them this video.
Solid proof
Holy fuck I love fate/zero so much, this is fucking amazing Raf!!!!!
Beautiful
I see Kalafina i clicked, i listened i cried🥲
More lore?! How exciting! I've been looking forward to having more revealed after their introduction in "Goddess".
I'm excited to be working on them as well, thank you for your excitement Captain ♡
Well, it's 4 days early, but this sure has brightened up my birth week.
Happy early birthday, Tiny Wizard. Blessings upon your house.
I LITERALLY HAVE NO WORDS!! one day ill be on time, BUT FOR NOW THE TEARS ARE FLOWING AND THE FANGIRL IN ME GROWS STRONGER 💜💜
Beautiful and gorgeous as always!!!💜💜💜 Love your voice 🌸
It should be illegal for someone to be so amazing, But I am sure glad it's not!!
PLZ????? KALAFINA AND PAFSCRAP? Universe, this it the best you can do for my mental health during my period 💅
It sound really amazing
Oh God I know that feeling, hope you feel better soon
Amazing as usual. Just adore your art and style. I love how menacing your character is in armor.
Happy to see you enjoying Mellow! Thank you always, and happy Lunar New Year ♡
@@RafScrap Happy lunar new year! ^^
You don't know how much I love your voice, in any language you make incredible covers TT 💕✨
Mwa
Lovely thing to say Georgina, thank you very much
What am amazing thing to wake up to!!!
Now I’m kinda sad I didn’t wake up a little earlier 😅😅
Hope you rested well, and that a good day followed
I LOVE the really soft bit at 2:16, really adds a spin on it different from the original so there's that one element of hope there before it's swept away in passion again. Speaking of spins on the original, I am screaming over Berserker Lancelot Raf. It's a great interpretation, really speaking to the turmoil that the Berserker Lancelot must have felt over the forbidden love that led to madness. Bonus in that a woman in armor, spear, and sword like that is just, phew, perfection. I wish the actual series had women Berserkers like that.
One of my favorite parts to sing, glad you enjoyed. Thank you for the lovely description, made me smile reading it. This is actually an knight OC of mine named Sage, no relation to Lance - but yes, a female berserker would be badass.
Happy Lunar New Year!
@@RafScrap Ah my bad on the misidentification, I thought the armor style looked similar to Fate/Zero's Lancelot. Out of curiosity, is there any lore for Sage then that I can learn?
Happy Lunar New Year!
@@klikssiikubra314 She made an ‘introduction’ to her OCs, a video titled ‘Goddess’, it’s beautiful!
@@Champion_of_Vlaakith Ah, so she was. Thanks for the heads-up
OH MY GOD? OR DEVIL IN THIS CASE? 😭This is such an anime like opening video that is so beautifully made!!! AHHHH and right after the day of my birthday!!?? RAF YOU MENACE TO HUMAN MIND, YOU MUST LIVE RENT FREE IN MY HEAD IT'S CONCERNING
WELL DONE on this beautiful video, I love EVERY detail, the hair animation HOLYYY and vocals? Mwah! Picasso as fine wine!🤌🏼💜🍷
Ahhh your enjoyment is one of the highlights of my uploads. Happy belated birthday sweetheart, I hope you had a lovely one.
@@RafScrap my birthday has been fulfilled,thank you my queen! 🥺💜
very beautiful I love how your voice can shift from low to high so smoothly omg so talented :)
Means a lot to me, glad you enjoyed ♡
Love how the artworks art deco (-ish) but also has some Japanese traditional elements.
Glad you enjoyed Justin, happy Lunar New Year!
PLEASE UR VOICE I CANT BELIEVE U SANG THIS SONG I LOVEE IT SOOO MUCHH THANK YOU
