Coming back to this song after Downfall hits different. Like "Betrayal can steal all the kindling within" and "The choices of family and friends disappoint and it's always your job to be bigger than them" and "Second chances are always allowed"- Those are all lines I can imagine The Everlight telling herself in her darkest moments.
I translated it in my language, wrote it down and gave it to my mother... you know, she's totally a Pike. She was moved by it and she loves your voice too!
I buried my Nana today and despite everything, I couldn’t cry no matter how much I wanted to. Listening to your song got the tears flowing and really gave me some much needed comfort - Nana in the role of the Everlight was singing straight to me. Thank you, Lilli 💗
This one absolutely destroyed me. You're like a real life bard with the power to move us, break us, or steel our resolve. I am not even kidding, I would buy a vinyl of the full list of your Vox Machina songs.
Lilli... Such potency in lyric, tune, and vocal emphasis. You struck all the right chords and thank you for such a wonderful representation of Sarenrae and the essence of Pike Trickfoot :).
The Everlight singing to her own small lights, absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing job showing the vulnerabilities of Pike, a character who always puts on a brave face and rarely shows weakness. Great job!
Listening to this again after watching The Legend of Vox Machina Series and seeing Pike's solo journey while the team is in Whitestone makes this song all the more hard hitting. Lines like "you don't know if you're all that good anymore" and "you see paths that need lighting, including your own" have just taken on a whole new meaning ❤ You can tell that Lilli always manages to cut to the core of a character when her words stay true to / align with the various iterations of VM's story, even as they change and grow. Magnificent lyrics, vocals, and storytelling all around 🥰
Who could capture Pike's essence better than Sarenrae herself, in the guise of the bard. Well done, you get all the emotion across, as usual Thank you for another great piece of art.
Last month, my wife left me. I had a huge amount of grief and despair in my heart but I reached out to my best friend to tell her how I was feeling. She responded by sending me this song and telling me that this was how she wanted me to feel and to listen hard to the lyrics. Although nothing bad happened to cause the separation, it was impossible as to see it as anything other than my fault. Feeling that I wasn't good anymore was an understatement. But this song really puts everything into perspective. Everyone has challenges that they face, the easiest way to overcome them is by asking for help and to be that light for other people. Second chances are always allowed, they're the only way we can grow and the more we help others the more we help ourselves in return. Truly a masterpiece. Your talent is a gift to the world. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful. I love the parallel that both Sarenrae and Grog call Pike “little light” in their songs. I feel it means Grog sees Pike truly as she is. Which makes sense since they grew up together.
This song is so powerful. It really cuts home about how strongly pike's ethos remains in critical role. We all talk about leave each place better than you found it, but campaign two was all about second chances, and it's like she never left
Literal. shivers Lilli. The mark of an amazing song is it's applicability - you wouldn't even need to know who Pike was to feel moved by this song. All praise to you. And thanks for the tears!
The crescendo to the final measure...makes me think of Sarenrae holding back the pandemonium boss at the end of Search for Bob. Even though it's a really ugly fight the Everlight is there encouraging and protecting.
I was fine until "You don't know if youre all that good anymore". That's when the tears started lol. I love this so much. Pike struggled sometimes but she realized you dont need to be perfect, you just gotta do your best.
I come back to this song time and time again. Would love it to be on spotify, but until that day comes, I will single handedly be the reason for about 2 thousand of these views
This is so so stunning - It doesn't just capture Pike as a character so brilliantly, it also really speaks to me as someone with a faith. Truly beautiful stuff, thank you for sharing your music and words with the world ❤
Literal genius Lilli. It hit me like a truck on that second to last line that this was Sarenrae speaking to Pike. You are such a phenomenal storyteller and you touch these characters stories with every single chord.
I see people reading this song as either Wilhand or The Everlight being the perspective this song is coming from… but I see it as Grog. The “little light” from that song continues, he was given a second chance thanks to her and Wilhand and of course just because he was dumb as a rock doesn’t mean he can’t have moments like this. Are we forgetting the conversation he had with Keyleth about how he doesn’t let his rage control him and how he uses it to protect the people he loves?

The first "second chances are always allowed" had me tearing up immediately. It is impossible to actually pick a favourite line from this song, and I'm sure my favourite will change as I proceed to sing this song nonstop for the next week+ (lessons and new pack have more company now!), but right now "your heart is a safe place for others to land" stands out to me as just so perfectly lovely. You do such an amazing job of finding the soul of a character and showing it to us, and clearly defining the edges of the characters. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!
This is the great thing about your songs, they are great on their own without the context. This song is really HAUNTINGLY beautiful, it reminds me of my grandmother.
I don't think theres a single one of these songs that I haven't cried at yet and the streak very much continues. This one just instantly made things feel Better, or at least like they will be and I can already tell its one of those songs I'll listen to whenever I need some calm. Just beautiful both musically and the lyrics
Well as I'm here with tears in both eyes and warmed heart. "You have to hand to hold someone up and two eyes to fill with love." That is pure poetry and pure Pike. It's my wish that everyone can have hers and yours out look on life. Thanks for yet another amazing addition to my heart. I'll cherish this song forever. :]
This is a busy period for me and listening ( and finding chords ) to this song has been a treat, a relaxing moment before I go to sleep. I've posted many of the chords for your songs on Ultimate Guitar, and I wanna tell you that people are not only listening to your songs but also *playing* them! Stories has 2,478 views and 122 people added it to their favorites!
"you are tired, you’re feeling unsure you don’t know if you’re all that good anymore" As someone who's struggled with codependence (since long before I knew what it was), this song and especially these lyrics hit home. I know what it feels like to burn out trying to take care of everyone else but yourself and, when you finally realize you can't do it all, feel like you're no good to anyone. Knowing someone is there to take care of you when you need it makes a world of difference. Thank you for this song, it means a lot to me.
This is such a beautiful and moving piece! Had me crying by the second verse. I’m a pastor and there is so much love and gentleness in this song. Thank you for sharing this piece of your heart with us!
I will not rest until I have figured out the chords for this song. This is amazing and very pretty. Thank you critical role for giving us all this community of gold ❤️
I am deeply grateful for your own light, which has helped to guide so many --- people you'll never meet, but whose lives are better for your music having found us. Thank you for continuing to share this gift.
I haven't watched campaign 1, and of everything I've seen of the characters, Pike has stood out the least until now. This song brought me to tears on my break at work. I think I needed it today. The sincerity you bring to every song is absolutely beautiful.
I love all your songs but I've been listening to this nonstop since it came out. I don't usually comment on things but this song spoke to me too much to not. This song makes me weep with love for life and everything. It's like it was written for a younger me, "You don't know if you're all that good anymore" speaks to me on almost a molecular level. "Your heart is a safe space for others to land" and "you have two clear eyes to see others with love" are now my favourite song lyrics of all time and up there with just my favourite words. All I can say is thank you
BEEN WAITING ALL DAY Edit: IS THIS SARENRAE SINGING TO PIKE? Adorable beautiful amazing!!! Edit 2: Not sure if you noticed but the lyrics say "fire inside" instead of fire unfed"
This song already means so much to me. It's perfect for the main character of my own fantasy series, and I hadn't really seen him as being similar to Pike before, but now I love that I can associate them together. This is beautiful
Never thought I'd get emotional over a fan CR song but damn. These are incredible, and I hope the cast sees them sometime. Not only is your voice amazing, but the lyrics and the music are absolutely fantastic!
Just so you know, this song will be added to the rest of your wonderful songs that i sing to my one-year-old, and have been singing to him since the day he was born.. thank you
This is such a beautiful song. You truly did justice to the struggles of virtue and how hard it is to do the right, kind thing. I play your music often because it's lovely and your voice is so sweet, and my 10 month old always stops what he's doing to watch you for a little while.
Serenrae singing to Pike was a beautiful touch... I always forget that Pike barely got to express her own anger since she was always carrying other's burdens. Second Chances... Like her coming back to life the first time... Like Grog facing the herd again... Like Percy facing his demons and Vex facing her father... Like Vax rejoicing in life after coming back as a revenant and Scanlan getting a second chance to be a dad... Like Tary coming home to rebuild the Darrington legacy... And like Keyleth, facing the world on her own, learning and learning to keep her footing with every passing day... This was precious in every way, Lili. Thank you so much. Our Monstah was done justice!
I teared up hearing your song. always feeling like I have to be positive for those around me. have to be there to do the things that others can't/wont.. burying anger and holding onto it, not knowing how to free it... Thanks for singing this, it lifts a burden off my shoulders.
"little light, are you listening? little light, just look up.." *Me looking up at the sky for my grandpa blinded by tears* Thank you for giving us all some more kindling within.
Oh this song destroyed my heart. The way she’s called little light and the one that guides people through tough times is being guided! I love the immaculate warm vibes of this song
wow! i'm not a cry-y person but your songs bring me to tears! you have such a wonderful way of capturing the heart of these characters and your lyrics are always so lovely.
Pike holds such a special place in my heart and this song has *everything* I love about her 💛 thank you, thank you, thank you 💛 To have someone else sing for her is just genius and I love that Sarenrae is praising her. I'm definitely not crying, no not me. It must be raining.
Don‘t mind me, just going through all the songs and crying to every single one. Hope we get all of them on Spotify as well, wanna add the to my CR playlist so I can cry in my car. :D
Ugh!! You're! So! Amazing!! Thanks to conditioning from your earlier pieces I start to tear up the moment you play that first chord. Thank you for the art and beauty you bring into this world and thank you for sharing it with us. *wipes tears* So good
Very moving Lilli. This one is really interesting to me, I've never been a person of faith, but I have portrayed several, and the thing that fundamentally connected me to them is the sense that this feeling, the one described by this song, is what they are truly seeking from a higher power. Second chances, and something to keep faith with. The idea that something believes in you, and will forgive you, because they know you're worth it. It means you have something to follow when you don't believe in yourself, when you think you are as low as you can get. They know you are worthy of love. Even if you do not. It is a powerful thing. Faith in something like that, or just being good, it can be a terrible burden. It's hard to be the person who does the right thing, the good thing. Even for good people it's hard to do what you know is right, it can be very lonely, and frightening. But the person who believes in something believes in doing what's right, because they're believed in. We look to those believers, those beacons of hope, those lights in the dark, big or small. Because we all want to believe in something, most of all that we might be someone worth believing in. You've captured that mixture of blessing and burden that the faithful have to bear. Thank you Lilli, appreciate you sharing this with us.
You have an amazing voice but what is even more mesmerizing to me is how you manage to tell a captivating story through your music :) I always look forward to your songs!
Please, please, please, take this as the compliment it’s supposed to be. I find myself having to emotionally prepare for one of your songs because they truly hit home in so many different ways. “Mothers” makes me ugly cry. That doesn’t happen a lot. I really hope you keep making music because you are so amazing at it and I can’t wait to see where you go with it. 💜 1 minute in and I’m already tearing up! Goddamn!
Coming back to this song after Downfall hits different. Like "Betrayal can steal all the kindling within" and "The choices of family and friends disappoint and it's always your job to be bigger than them" and "Second chances are always allowed"- Those are all lines I can imagine The Everlight telling herself in her darkest moments.
I love that Pike's song is someone offering her guidence. It's heartbreaking and I love every second.
Praise Sarenrae!
Just like in Grog’s song, she calls pike “little light” and I’m not crying you are
I love that it's Seranrae singing to Pike, what a song
i was crying at the very first “second chances are always allowed”
This song holds my heart gently in its hands
I translated it in my language, wrote it down and gave it to my mother... you know, she's totally a Pike. She was moved by it and she loves your voice too!
Second chances are always allowed, but in this case you don’t need it, you got it right the first time.
Jeez, this woman, making grown men cry.
I buried my Nana today and despite everything, I couldn’t cry no matter how much I wanted to. Listening to your song got the tears flowing and really gave me some much needed comfort - Nana in the role of the Everlight was singing straight to me. Thank you, Lilli 💗
I’ve lost my Nana as well. And this helped me to cry too. It’s touching and cathartic - your art matters Lilli
Sorry for your loss!! She is with the Everlight Now! :)
I couldn't decide til the last verse if you'd written it as Wilhand or Sarenrae! It's wonderful. It's just so wonderful. Thank you.
Not sure what you're talking about... this was clearly my mother singing to me. I can tell by all the tears running down my face.
I personally hear it as Wilhand at first, and later in the song it switches to Sarenrae.
@@Grimwyrd Me too. Miss her so much.
This one absolutely destroyed me. You're like a real life bard with the power to move us, break us, or steel our resolve. I am not even kidding, I would buy a vinyl of the full list of your Vox Machina songs.
Such a pleasant melody! I can totally picture Pike singing this to Percy.
"Learning love is learning grief" damn...that hits hard. You are such a brilliant lyricist.
Lilli... Such potency in lyric, tune, and vocal emphasis. You struck all the right chords and thank you for such a wonderful representation of Sarenrae and the essence of Pike Trickfoot :).
The Everlight singing to her own small lights, absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing job showing the vulnerabilities of Pike, a character who always puts on a brave face and rarely shows weakness. Great job!
Listening to this again after watching The Legend of Vox Machina Series and seeing Pike's solo journey while the team is in Whitestone makes this song all the more hard hitting. Lines like "you don't know if you're all that good anymore" and "you see paths that need lighting, including your own" have just taken on a whole new meaning ❤ You can tell that Lilli always manages to cut to the core of a character when her words stay true to / align with the various iterations of VM's story, even as they change and grow. Magnificent lyrics, vocals, and storytelling all around 🥰
Who could capture Pike's essence better than Sarenrae herself, in the guise of the bard. Well done, you get all the emotion across, as usual Thank you for another great piece of art.
Ashley is going to cry. Brilliant Lilli, just brilliant.
Last month, my wife left me. I had a huge amount of grief and despair in my heart but I reached out to my best friend to tell her how I was feeling.

Second chances are always allowed, they're the only way we can grow and the more we help others the more we help ourselves in return.

"Second chances are always allowed" is a Taliesin level line.
Beautiful. I love the parallel that both Sarenrae and Grog call Pike “little light” in their songs. I feel it means Grog sees Pike truly as she is. Which makes sense since they grew up together.
This is up there with Ressurection in terms of sad yet absolutely beautiful lyrics, you captured Pike so well!!
This song is so powerful. It really cuts home about how strongly pike's ethos remains in critical role. We all talk about leave each place better than you found it, but campaign two was all about second chances, and it's like she never left
Actual tears. I have no words. This is gorgeous. Pure art.
Literal. shivers Lilli. The mark of an amazing song is it's applicability - you wouldn't even need to know who Pike was to feel moved by this song. All praise to you. And thanks for the tears!
The crescendo to the final measure...makes me think of Sarenrae holding back the pandemonium boss at the end of Search for Bob. Even though it's a really ugly fight the Everlight is there encouraging and protecting.
"but this one is yours"
damnit Lilli😭❤
I literally made a OOOOOOO sound when I saw this uploaded, and my fam looked at me like a crazy person xD
It's crazy! Sarenrae sounds just like Lilly! I can't believe she came down to bless us with this absolute beauty! Guiding Bolt straight to the feels!
I was fine until "You don't know if youre all that good anymore". That's when the tears started lol. I love this so much. Pike struggled sometimes but she realized you dont need to be perfect, you just gotta do your best.
I’m at work right now and just gave this my second listen. I gave a full body sob and started crying at that line
I'm not crying, you're crying.... So beautiful!
It’s crazy how every song she writes is the best song I’ve heard
i love that it feels like sarenrae is singing this song to her
I come back to this song time and time again. Would love it to be on spotify, but until that day comes, I will single handedly be the reason for about 2 thousand of these views
This is so so stunning - It doesn't just capture Pike as a character so brilliantly, it also really speaks to me as someone with a faith. Truly beautiful stuff, thank you for sharing your music and words with the world ❤

GOOD GOD WOMAN HOW CAN YOU BE SO TALENTED!?!? I love all your stuff, thank you for sharing your heart with us. Love it already.
I see people reading this song as either Wilhand or The Everlight being the perspective this song is coming from… but I see it as Grog. The “little light” from that song continues, he was given a second chance thanks to her and Wilhand and of course just because he was dumb as a rock doesn’t mean he can’t have moments like this. Are we forgetting the conversation he had with Keyleth about how he doesn’t let his rage control him and how he uses it to protect the people he loves?

Knowing there's a new Lilli song to look forward to every weekend has made my whole January :D
Beautiful as always, thank you!
This song feels so perfect for pike, especially what we've seen in LoVM so far!
I am deeply grateful for your own light, which has helped to guide so many --- people you'll never meet, but whose lives are better for your music having found us. Thank you for continuing to share this gift.
I don’t know why “second chances are always allowed” made me cry so much, but it is such a wonderful message. Lots of love to you, Lilli ❤️
I haven't watched campaign 1, and of everything I've seen of the characters, Pike has stood out the least until now. This song brought me to tears on my break at work. I think I needed it today. The sincerity you bring to every song is absolutely beautiful.
I can not put into words how badly I need this right now with all the insanity and everyone living in the land of make believe. Thank you
Redemption stories always make me tear up, and this one more than some. Thank you!!
I love all your songs but I've been listening to this nonstop since it came out. I don't usually comment on things but this song spoke to me too much to not.

Edit: IS THIS SARENRAE SINGING TO PIKE? Adorable beautiful amazing!!!
Edit 2: Not sure if you noticed but the lyrics say "fire inside" instead of fire unfed"
This song already means so much to me. It's perfect for the main character of my own fantasy series, and I hadn't really seen him as being similar to Pike before, but now I love that I can associate them together. This is beautiful
AWWWWW!!! Sarenerae singing a song about Pike is sooooo perfect! I cried with this one! Can't wait for more!!
Never thought I'd get emotional over a fan CR song but damn. These are incredible, and I hope the cast sees them sometime. Not only is your voice amazing, but the lyrics and the music are absolutely fantastic!
I never thought a song about Pike would make me cry. This is beautiful, you're amazing 💙
This touched my soul in some way. So beautifully written, both lyrically and musically! Wow just amazing! Bless!
This song is at the top of my 2022 TH-cam Recap ❤️
With Lilli as the top artist!
This is so soothing. It's often the last song I listen to at night to calm down before I turn on my sleep story
I forget that all of Lilli's song's make me cry. Thank you again (as always), good bard.
Well, shoot. Now I'm just sitting here alone in my room crying.
This is the most beautiful thing I've seen / felt in a long time. Thank you.
...yep. Still hits the same today. Sitting alone and crying again. ❤
"Second chances are always allowed" that hit me way too hard. Fucking beautiful song
Just so you know, this song will be added to the rest of your wonderful songs that i sing to my one-year-old, and have been singing to him since the day he was born.. thank you
This is such a beautiful song. You truly did justice to the struggles of virtue and how hard it is to do the right, kind thing. I play your music often because it's lovely and your voice is so sweet, and my 10 month old always stops what he's doing to watch you for a little while.
3 months later, and this song is still a safe place for me to land. Thank you.
Serenrae singing to Pike was a beautiful touch...
I always forget that Pike barely got to express her own anger since she was always carrying other's burdens.
Second Chances... Like her coming back to life the first time... Like Grog facing the herd again... Like Percy facing his demons and Vex facing her father... Like Vax rejoicing in life after coming back as a revenant and Scanlan getting a second chance to be a dad... Like Tary coming home to rebuild the Darrington legacy... And like Keyleth, facing the world on her own, learning and learning to keep her footing with every passing day...
This was precious in every way, Lili. Thank you so much. Our Monstah was done justice!
I teared up hearing your song. always feeling like I have to be positive for those around me. have to be there to do the things that others can't/wont.. burying anger and holding onto it, not knowing how to free it...
Thanks for singing this, it lifts a burden off my shoulders.
I come back to this song so often, it's just beautiful. Thank you for many a good cry 🤍
This song is so perfect… you were my top artist on spotify, actually my top 3 songs were all yours… i need this is on Spotify very soon please
"little light, are you listening? little light, just look up.." *Me looking up at the sky for my grandpa blinded by tears*
Thank you for giving us all some more kindling within.
Oh this song destroyed my heart. The way she’s called little light and the one that guides people through tough times is being guided! I love the immaculate warm vibes of this song
Girl you keep eating it up. Brought tears to my eyes, can't wait to see what you do with the others ❤
wow! i'm not a cry-y person but your songs bring me to tears! you have such a wonderful way of capturing the heart of these characters and your lyrics are always so lovely.
Love how the “little light” connects this to grog’s song!!! Made me cry, good job ma’am ❤️
Pike holds such a special place in my heart and this song has *everything* I love about her 💛 thank you, thank you, thank you 💛
To have someone else sing for her is just genius and I love that Sarenrae is praising her.
I'm definitely not crying, no not me. It must be raining.
Every time you put out a song, it's perfect. Every single time. This is SOO good
Each song you bring us is a true jewel!
I can't stop imagining the Everlight singing to Pike now, it's so sweet 🥺💙
I could listen to this song on repeat forever 💕💕
i am bad at telling my family i love them, but i think telling them this song makes me think of em got through
Gosh how can you make me cry even while making me feel so warm? Thank you so much, I always love your music.
Ripping my heart out. Again. Lilli, you're amazing. THANK YOU for -EVERYTHING-.
Don‘t mind me, just going through all the songs and crying to every single one. Hope we get all of them on Spotify as well, wanna add the to my CR playlist so I can cry in my car. :D
another amazing song, Lilli... i love your belting voice... so pure .. vibrato is angelic... so amazing ... wow!!! wow !! wow!!!
Ugh!! You're! So! Amazing!! Thanks to conditioning from your earlier pieces I start to tear up the moment you play that first chord. Thank you for the art and beauty you bring into this world and thank you for sharing it with us. *wipes tears* So good
I think this might be my new favourite. Hmm, Matt's and Molly's are still up there if I really want to cry though.
Very moving Lilli. This one is really interesting to me, I've never been a person of faith, but I have portrayed several, and the thing that fundamentally connected me to them is the sense that this feeling, the one described by this song, is what they are truly seeking from a higher power. Second chances, and something to keep faith with. The idea that something believes in you, and will forgive you, because they know you're worth it. It means you have something to follow when you don't believe in yourself, when you think you are as low as you can get. They know you are worthy of love. Even if you do not. It is a powerful thing.
Faith in something like that, or just being good, it can be a terrible burden. It's hard to be the person who does the right thing, the good thing. Even for good people it's hard to do what you know is right, it can be very lonely, and frightening. But the person who believes in something believes in doing what's right, because they're believed in. We look to those believers, those beacons of hope, those lights in the dark, big or small. Because we all want to believe in something, most of all that we might be someone worth believing in. You've captured that mixture of blessing and burden that the faithful have to bear.
Thank you Lilli, appreciate you sharing this with us.
motivation for temple builders indeed! lovely!
I felt this in every part of my soul, wow 😭😭😭
Beautiful, beautiful song in both the tone and the lyrics. Stunning.
Yet another amazing song. Keep it up! Just out here stright crushing it!
god damnit how are you able to just so perfectly capture their characters
"you want to hold onto your anger a while
‘cause your built to hold everyone else’s' has me *losing it*
You have an amazing voice but what is even more mesmerizing to me is how you manage to tell a captivating story through your music :) I always look forward to your songs!
a fitting tribute to the Beloved of the Everlight, the goddess of Redemption. thank you for this.
I love that Saranrae is singing this to Pike! So sweet!
You always make me cry in the best way ❤️.
Please, please, please, take this as the compliment it’s supposed to be. I find myself having to emotionally prepare for one of your songs because they truly hit home in so many different ways. “Mothers” makes me ugly cry. That doesn’t happen a lot. I really hope you keep making music because you are so amazing at it and I can’t wait to see where you go with it. 💜
1 minute in and I’m already tearing up! Goddamn!
