also, just a little explanation (spoilers for people who don't already know the plot): wilbur's character died after blowing up the nation, and he came back as a character called ghostbur. while ghostbur existed, the original wilbur was in limbo at the train station from the album cover of your city gave me asthma, the album of sad wilbur songs you've listened to before. dream's character used a book called the revive book on ghostbur in a desperate attempt to regain some power while locked away in prison, sending ghostbur to the limbo and bringing wilbur back to life. the song revived is from the point of view of revivebur, the line 'you should see the other guy' referencing ghostbur and the pain he's in as wilbur returns to the living. ghostbur was a beloved and wholesome character and definitely a fan favourite, so the idea of him being in pain is obviously heartbreaking. this song, revived, has all the train sound effects and station related lyrics linking to that story arc, and the anger shows the unpredictability of wilbur's character, as we've seen what he's capable of with the blowing up of l'manburg, and now that he's back we have no way of knowing if his claims of having changed are true or not. you probably just didn't need that whole paragraph but for anyone wondering, there's a bit of a long winded explanation :)
Thank you so much that is I believe the clearest way of explaining everything you need to know about the story to enjoy the song while keeping it simple
Mat: "I'm assuming some war happened on the Dream smp." Me: *puts cup of water down* "which one?" Also, a good song to react to would be "Blink of an eye" by winks. It is a dream smp song and I love it.
@@Animallover24678 You’re absolutely right… the most well-known ones, also the wars for L’Manburg, we’re the first ones that showed up in my head- but also the fact that there’s been more than one gets me thinking-
When Wilbur died in the lore he went to his 'limbo' which was the Train station from Your City gave Me Asthmas cover art. Time moved differently there, which was only a few months for us, it was 13 years for him. And when Dream killed Ghostbur (Wilbur's ghost which took his place when Wilbur went to his limbo) and revived Wilbur, he came back basaas as ever, as 'Revivebur' who was thirsty for blood. Keep in mind kids. This is all from a minecraft server.
Im genuinely surprised that at this point he still doesnt know the dreamsmp lore... i mean he gets the story bc of the songs but i think he would be a lot more impressed with the lyrics and the sounds that these artists like derivakat put in the background and all of the meanings and little references...
Fun fact! The "siren" noise in the background of REVIVED is actually Derivakat vocalizing!! She wanted a sound there but she could find a good one, so she did it herself :)
@@WhiteFang-fy2rg sadly i dont know/remember, but they should still be up on her twitch if it was streamed!! if not, she did it off stream. i just know that she did the siren herself by vocalizing :))
Doomsday is actually written from the point of view of the people doing the destroying. They were/felt betrayed so they took their revenge by destroying everything.
“Its sounds like if an anime villain rapped over top of a Corpse Husband produced song” This...this is the best description of Revived ive ever heard...
I'm pretty sure that the train in the background in Revived is a reference to the whole revival thing like a train from 'hell' bringing Wilbur back to the real world, or like his hell/limbo being a train station... I'm not 100% sure though
The interesting and impressive thing is that she is able to tell a story or go for a feeling, and people get it. Like, Mathew knows next to nothing about the Dream SMP, yet he can understand that there is a war, backstabbing, betrayal, etc. all from her music.
In terms of production for Revived almost all of the sounds you hear are train sound samples apart from the vocals and maybe the synth. Also the 'siren' you heard was Derivikat going 'WooWoooooooo' and adding reverb XD
She has a college degree in musical theory if I remember. And Will's limbo was a train platform that he experienced for 13 years (in his time) before his revival, -> the train noises & visuals. Fun fact, she made the siren noises herself because she couldn't find any she liked
I feel like REVIVED is better in the lyric video because the visuals really add a lot, you should check it out. On second thought, the art in the Why music video adds a lot as well.
About the song Why "Cant stand the rain, cant stand the pain" This of course is about how ghostbur melts in the rain and forgets negative things But also during doomsday(s) (it was more than a day) it was raining
Yeah, if you are planning on reacting to any more smp animatics, you should do late_august! They are by far my favorite animators and they include so many details in it.
You all love him a lot, and idk if you’re on Instagram, but he’s not going to post for a long time if ever again. But yes he should watch his videos I think!
Day 2 of asking Mathew to react to the soundtrack of Centaurworld, the new musical show on netflix. It's very very good, I picked out the songs that aren't spoilery, so they're safe to listen to without context. Rider's Lullaby Centaurworld Hello Rainbow Road Taurnado Fragile Things The Nowhere King (I recommend just listening to the audio when you go over this one, because while it's not spoilers, the scene will be more impactful when/if you eventually watch the show) I shall keep asking until it happens, i'm that determined.
Fun fact: That siren in the background at the end of Revived is Derivakat screaming into her microphone while her brother was in the same house because she couldn't find a siren sound to use. It was really funny to watch live on stream.
His reaction to Revived as a non-fan of the DSMP and Derivakat was like on the same level as what we had and I find that so funny to me. Revived is a certified bop
going back to when you reacted to sadist there's another channel that i think is criminally underrated, their channel is late-august and they do really detailed animatics that i think would be nice to react to :)
@@kayleekirkpatrick9193 I know I’m saying he could do a video similar to when he reacted to “georgenotfound only fan” as in that video he reacted to a range of songs which Wasn’t related to each other.
I will never understand how he gets the story almost exact, while vague, just by listening to the songs. I already know the story, and listening to the songs back I can understand from my end, but seeing as he's never actually looking into the Dream SMP lore, that we know of, and him getting this stuff so accurate is freaking amazing.
Doomsday was actually always impeding, but it took a new meaning when Tommy betrayed Technoblade. Before, it was a means to end corruption and also a form of vengeance. But after Tommy's betrayal, it was interpreted as a warning, a message saying: This is what happens when you break my trust. Had Tommy not switched sides, the exact same events would've happened, maybe if postponed, but it would have a completely different meaning.
@@humairamaster9498 Yeah, everyone is a c!techno apologist, so not a lot of people point that out lol. but I definitely agree. I do realize that Tommy was sort of just using Techno from the very beginning, but Techno went too far. What he did was much worse than what Tommy did. I *am* a c!Philza apologist though- I make excuses for Phil, like Phil really just wanted to get rid of the government because he thought it corrupted people, like Wilbur. but blowing it up... I mean, tbf, it wasn't Phil's idea to blow it up in the beginning. When Techno and Dream decided that's what they were going to do though, he just went with them. But I do really feel like I'm just making excuses for him because I like Phil lol
The trio you were talking about tells the story of Doomsday, aka the Third (Final) Destruction of L'Manberg. Doomsday is about how Dream, Philza, and Technoblade blow up the nation, and Why is the ghost of the founder Wilbur Soot, Ghostbur, lamenting how Phil broke his promise and how Ghostbur keeps having to pay for the mistakes of others
i got so excited when you reacted to REVIVED it's literally the BEST Dsmp song EVER ! ( not just because it's about Wilbur's dream smp character and he's one of my favs haha- ) the song is actually so good! Derivakat nailed it as always :D !
I love watching you try to piece the story together with just music :3 most people who react to dsmp songs are already totally familiar with the story, and it just kind of cheapens it to me for some reason? Haha idk I just love that about your videos
Hiya Mathew!! It’s over a year later now, and I think it would be *awesome* if you were to re-listen to these songs, because now that you know a good portion of the lore they would hit SO much harder, and understanding the lyrics just makes these songs even more phenomenal
The way you were startled when Revived Started XD, the Train Sounds Are part of the Dream SMP Lore, Wilbur had been dead and his Limbo was a Train Station
fun fact! that siren at the end of revived isnt an actual siren sound, its actually derivakat! she couldnt find the exact siren noise she wanted, so she made it herself!
I’m gonna be completely honest. I lost my mind and jumped around my living room when you said you listened to the decemberists. They are some of my favorites as well, and I even went to a concert of theirs. So. Thanks I guess.
i found you through my love of wilbur, and your videos kept coming up on my recommended, and you don't even know how happy it makes me to hear you listening to derivakat. i love your channel! x
The only Derivakat song I'd heard so far is Revived since it's been blowing up lately but oh my god I need to listen to more of her songs apparently, HOLY SHIT her music sounds gorgeous
The story: Night before dawn: Perparing for the war Doomsday:The war Why: The ghost of the man who built the thing which got destroyed Revived: The ghost is revived
FUN FACT: the siren in the background of revived near the end was derivakat! she couldn't find one that she liked so she just decided to make her own with her vocals! also i recommend watching the lyric video for revived it adds so much more to the atmosphere
I so want him to get into the story, he'd appreciate the songs even more than he does now! Even if he doesn't do a video on it, he should check different lore videos out
I love that everyone who made Derivikat reaction videos always highlight that Revived is fire. It was the first Derivikat song I've listened to and it's also my favorite DSMP one.
I cannot begin to explain how happy I am to know that you listen to and enjoy The Decemberists! I don't see them getting much recognition, but their music is so very good, and seeing a music channel such as yourself say so is just great!
Definitely needed this video, Mathew is just so funny,, I'm so glad I've found ur videos, they truly make my day every time. Love hearing ur opinions and seeing ur reactions ♡ :D
I really like the fact that you don't know much about the plot for dsmp because we get to see how Derivakat's music holds, for people ouside of dsmp, story wise. Though I suggest watching the video for Revived bc the art for it makes the song 100x better. Love the videos!
You should listen to the amazing devil. They are very underrated but I love the unique style they have. Some of my favourite songs (in order: -farewell wanderlust -the horror and the wild -welly boots - unwanted animal
Derivikat actually did a stream 2 days ago, where she was making one of her own originals, and not dsmp song, called Eden (I might have spelled that wrong) And let me tell you... That song was awsome! And it wasn't even the finished version. Basically the song is about how your dating this guy, and he just doesn't get it. And its kinda a reference to the biblical story of adam and eve, but with a twist. When the full song is released, you'll definitely have to listen carefully bc for most of the stream she was recording some harmonies and some background sounds, that you'll really have to listen carefully to even hear it. Like, you know how musicians and basically anyone who works with music can hear really well and identify lots of things that ppl who don't work with music probably wouldn't pick up the first time? It's basically like that. One of the things derivikat said on stream about the song: "I don't smoke, but if I did, I'd probably listen to this song because like, it feels so free/ stress relieving" (I can't remember exactly what she said, but it was very similar to this. I remember her saying she doesn't smoke) So yhea, the song is very angelic like. Here's the Vod from the stream: www.twitch.tv/derivakat/v/1134383797?sr=a It's also great to listen to this in the background bc it's so calming. I'm sorry I made an entire paragraph, but I've just been obsessed with this song and it isn't even out yet. I've rewatched the stream 2 times already. My favorite part in the song from the stream: I'm pretty sure this is apart of the bridge btw: ' kick him out of paradise finally he'll realize To by to to 'pologize (I couldn't really make that part out) To edan, (I might be spelling edan wrong I'm sorry) Let the sky be filled with light Heal the scars and bloom with life Leave me here and I'll reside to edan ' (And of course there's some other small background sounds, there's also a riff somewhere) I don't wanna spoil the song here so again, if you want, search up Derivakat on twitch and the last stream she had, which is accessible to rewatch, is that. The stream title is: recording a song new emotes! !software !socials
I never noticed that you hav the habit of sitting in the way your knees are visible in the screen, its low-key cute aha; been binge watching your content these past few days from your jack stauber to bo burnham and finally dsmp. watching you react and comment on the tinniest details are quite interesting and just understanding your thought process thru out. keep up with the good work!! looking forward for more!
i ADORE seeing you react to derivakat songs. her incredible music plus your relatable, humorous, and insightful reactions to them make this so entertaining to watch.
14:48 can’t say what the train is but it was the reference for the art. it’s based on the your city gave my athsma cover because of the train in jubilee line!
amazing reaction as always! I like hearing your insight on the actual music itself since I'm more of a lyrics person. it helps create a bigger picture of the song in my head and I appreciate it! this album really is so good. Revived is absolutely amazing, but Night Before Dawn and Doomsday are a liiittle closer to my heart haha
The background to Revived is supposed to emulate trains on tube tracks bc the character it's based on's purgatory was him trapped at a train station. and the clicking noise to Doomsday is tnt triggering from the rigging above the city the song is based on! The cool thing about Derivakat's songs for me is 100% the fact she incorporates cinematic aspects to her songs that are supposed to be reminiscent of the specific lore each song is based on, the style she chooses also tends to be affected by this too!
as a fairly long-term (in my opinion) fan now, it absolutely astounds me at just how more comfortable you seem making content now. in some of your earlier videos, it seems like you're almost afraid of making any jokes or talking a lot, but you just seem so much more...... free. now. i don't know how to explain it. you seem almost happier.
this was a really cool reaction! i’ll go ahead and tell you what each song is about in case you interested! :) Tell Your Story: about Karl Jacob’s tales from the smp series where he time travels and helps people through past (or future) conflicts. This one specifically is about how he wants to tell the story of these people Write It Down: Same area as Tell Your Story but this goes more into how he needs to write down everything from where he time traveled to because he very quickly forgets all of it. Night Before Dawn: this is talking about the night before a major war in one of the dsmp countries (L’manburg) Doomsday: This is after the war and L’manburg had lost, their enemies left a crater that leads down to the bottom of the world leaving it crushed and beyond repair. Why: this is going into the perspective of one character called Ghostbur in the same time of doomsday, Ghostbur struggles to see any kind of bad in people and so seeing his own father completely demolish his home country was shattering, Why is basically the conversation he had with his father. Revived: this song is going into the revival of Wilbur (Revivbur) and how he escaped his limbo after 13 and a half years, his limbo was a train station which is why there are train sounds. “the other guy” mentioned in this song was ghostbur as he had to trade in his own life unwillingly in order to revive Wilbur. Casino Royal(e? i can’t spell): This song is about quackities country Las Nevadas, it’s basically Las Vegas but in the dsmp. not much else to say. Glad you liked the songs! they’re awesome!
Doomsday was from the attackers' povs, and Why was from one of the victim's pov of the carnage that happened that day. And eeeeveeeryoooone felt betrayed and it was amazing to watch
Doomsday is kinda from the perspective of the one who *was* betrayed. "The Plagues" Animatic by WolfytheWitch is of the same battle. I really love how they flipped the context of the original song on it's head, making Ramses' voice the one heralding God's wrath.
yessss I was waiting for you to listen to sounds of the SMP ESPECIALLY for revived because I've been listening to that song on repeat ever since it came out, it slaps so hard (also for a different song that's technically mcyt related: Tubbo, another minecraft youtuber, recently released a song of his own with CG5 and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!) great video as always!!
you should definitely watch a summary or something to catch up on the dream amp! derivakat's lyrics are so wonderfully crafted, it's so perfectly done and when you know the background it makes the songs so very cool to listen to!

Bro I can easily imagine Corpse rapping Revived. If everything was heavier, it would be just up his alley
right
Right after "Revived" dropped, *the Discord went banana.*
This comment is so true-
Not only the Discord, the whole Dream SMP fandom that hears Derivakat songs (Which hope its everyone but ok)

I love watching you try to piece the story together with just music :3 most people who react to dsmp songs are already totally familiar with the story, and it just kind of cheapens it to me for some reason? Haha idk I just love that about your videos
Hiya Mathew!! It’s over a year later now, and I think it would be *awesome* if you were to re-listen to these songs, because now that you know a good portion of the lore they would hit SO much harder, and understanding the lyrics just makes these songs even more phenomenal
“I’ve actually blown up multiple peoples bases because that’s who I am” Wilbur would have liked you a lot
"I feel like i got betrayed" every big dream SMP lore fan
I recommend also checking out Revived along with the music video, some amazing visuals accompany the already amazing song
You have so much musical knowledge, I love listening to you interpret these kinds of songs!
"Why" is my favorite of the album and it being right after Doomsday in the order worked so well to contrast the two perspectives of Doomsday.
The way you were startled when Revived Started XD, the Train Sounds Are part of the Dream SMP Lore, Wilbur had been dead and his Limbo was a Train Station
Everyone's raw reaction to "revived" is so entertaining
16:14 Wait until he finds out that the alarm is actually just Derivakat's voice going higher and higher
Now I really wanna see his reaction to the storyline , so he can figure out what those lyrics mean
Pretty sure that’s how we all felt the first time we heard Revived Mathew
"oh... i think that's what it's about"
you can hear the self disappointment in his voice 😭
fun fact! that siren at the end of revived isnt an actual siren sound, its actually derivakat! she couldnt find the exact siren noise she wanted, so she made it herself!
I’m gonna be completely honest. I lost my mind and jumped around my living room when you said you listened to the decemberists. They are some of my favorites as well, and I even went to a concert of theirs. So. Thanks I guess.
i found you through my love of wilbur, and your videos kept coming up on my recommended, and you don't even know how happy it makes me to hear you listening to derivakat. i love your channel! x
The only Derivakat song I'd heard so far is Revived since it's been blowing up lately but oh my god I need to listen to more of her songs apparently, HOLY SHIT her music sounds gorgeous
I really wish you watched the the music video for revived it makes it so much better it really does
The story:
Night before dawn: Perparing for the war
Doomsday:The war
Why: The ghost of the man who built the thing which got destroyed
Revived: The ghost is revived
FUN FACT: the siren in the background of revived near the end was derivakat! she couldn't find one that she liked so she just decided to make her own with her vocals! also i recommend watching the lyric video for revived it adds so much more to the atmosphere
I so want him to get into the story, he'd appreciate the songs even more than he does now! Even if he doesn't do a video on it, he should check different lore videos out
I love that everyone who made Derivikat reaction videos always highlight that Revived is fire. It was the first Derivikat song I've listened to and it's also my favorite DSMP one.
literally the entirety of DreamSMP lore is just one very long war
Great reaction ❤️ You’ve got it in the thumbnail but have you watched the actual vid of Revived? I think it makes it so much better seeing the art
I cannot begin to explain how happy I am to know that you listen to and enjoy The Decemberists! I don't see them getting much recognition, but their music is so very good, and seeing a music channel such as yourself say so is just great!
Definitely needed this video, Mathew is just so funny,, I'm so glad I've found ur videos, they truly make my day every time. Love hearing ur opinions and seeing ur reactions ♡ :D
I really like the fact that you don't know much about the plot for dsmp because we get to see how Derivakat's music holds, for people ouside of dsmp, story wise. Though I suggest watching the video for Revived bc the art for it makes the song 100x better. Love the videos!
10:00 more like stabbing your son with a sword in the gut, but whatever works!!
I would love an episode of just looking through the lyrics and trying to see what you can get from the story!
You should listen to the amazing devil. They are very underrated but I love the unique style they have.
Some of my favourite songs (in order:
-farewell wanderlust
-the horror and the wild
-welly boots
- unwanted animal
You should watch the Music Video for Revived because it ABSOLUTLY FREAKING Slaps!!! The Art is amazing and the way it was done.
Derivikat actually did a stream 2 days ago, where she was making one of her own originals, and not dsmp song, called Eden (I might have spelled that wrong)
And let me tell you... That song was awsome! And it wasn't even the finished version.
Basically the song is about how your dating this guy, and he just doesn't get it.
And its kinda a reference to the biblical story of adam and eve, but with a twist.
When the full song is released, you'll definitely have to listen carefully bc for most of the stream she was recording some harmonies and some background sounds, that you'll really have to listen carefully to even hear it. Like, you know how musicians and basically anyone who works with music can hear really well and identify lots of things that ppl who don't work with music probably wouldn't pick up the first time? It's basically like that.
One of the things derivikat said on stream about the song: "I don't smoke, but if I did, I'd probably listen to this song because like, it feels so free/ stress relieving"
(I can't remember exactly what she said, but it was very similar to this. I remember her saying she doesn't smoke)
So yhea, the song is very angelic like.
Here's the Vod from the stream: www.twitch.tv/derivakat/v/1134383797?sr=a
It's also great to listen to this in the background bc it's so calming.
I'm sorry I made an entire paragraph, but I've just been obsessed with this song and it isn't even out yet. I've rewatched the stream 2 times already.
My favorite part in the song from the stream:
I'm pretty sure this is apart of the bridge btw:
' kick him out of paradise
finally he'll realize
To by to to 'pologize (I couldn't really make that part out)
To edan, (I might be spelling edan wrong I'm sorry)
Let the sky be filled with light
Heal the scars and bloom with life
Leave me here and I'll reside to edan '
(And of course there's some other small background sounds, there's also a riff somewhere)
I don't wanna spoil the song here so again, if you want, search up Derivakat on twitch and the last stream she had, which is accessible to rewatch, is that.
The stream title is: recording a song new emotes! !software !socials
I never noticed that you hav the habit of sitting in the way your knees are visible in the screen, its low-key cute aha; been binge watching your content these past few days from your jack stauber to bo burnham and finally dsmp. watching you react and comment on the tinniest details are quite interesting and just understanding your thought process thru out. keep up with the good work!! looking forward for more!
i ADORE seeing you react to derivakat songs. her incredible music plus your relatable, humorous, and insightful reactions to them make this so entertaining to watch.
really wished you reacted to the music video for Revived. the train noises make a lot more sense. also wilbur looks super evil in it.
as someone in the orchestra mathew talking about his love of strings is amazing
14:48 can’t say what the train is but it was the reference for the art. it’s based on the your city gave my athsma cover because of the train in jubilee line!
amazing reaction as always! I like hearing your insight on the actual music itself since I'm more of a lyrics person. it helps create a bigger picture of the song in my head and I appreciate it! this album really is so good. Revived is absolutely amazing, but Night Before Dawn and Doomsday are a liiittle closer to my heart haha
The background to Revived is supposed to emulate trains on tube tracks bc the character it's based on's purgatory was him trapped at a train station. and the clicking noise to Doomsday is tnt triggering from the rigging above the city the song is based on! The cool thing about Derivakat's songs for me is 100% the fact she incorporates cinematic aspects to her songs that are supposed to be reminiscent of the specific lore each song is based on, the style she chooses also tends to be affected by this too!
revived has an animated music video btw, i recommend just watching it off camera
When you mentioned the Decemberists i geeked out a bit. But you’re so right, night before dawn sounded so similar to their vibe.
"Anime villain rapping over a Corpse Husband produced song" is the best possible description for Revived, I think you nailed it lmao
as a fairly long-term (in my opinion) fan now, it absolutely astounds me at just how more comfortable you seem making content now. in some of your earlier videos, it seems like you're almost afraid of making any jokes or talking a lot, but you just seem so much more...... free. now. i don't know how to explain it. you seem almost happier.
14:16 you can see the pure joy on this man's face. me too, me too.
this was a really cool reaction! i’ll go ahead and tell you what each song is about in case you interested! :)
Tell Your Story: about Karl Jacob’s tales from the smp series where he time travels and helps people through past (or future) conflicts. This one specifically is about how he wants to tell the story of these people
Write It Down: Same area as Tell Your Story but this goes more into how he needs to write down everything from where he time traveled to because he very quickly forgets all of it.
Night Before Dawn: this is talking about the night before a major war in one of the dsmp countries (L’manburg)
Doomsday: This is after the war and L’manburg had lost, their enemies left a crater that leads down to the bottom of the world leaving it crushed and beyond repair.
Why: this is going into the perspective of one character called Ghostbur in the same time of doomsday, Ghostbur struggles to see any kind of bad in people and so seeing his own father completely demolish his home country was shattering, Why is basically the conversation he had with his father.
Revived: this song is going into the revival of Wilbur (Revivbur) and how he escaped his limbo after 13 and a half years, his limbo was a train station which is why there are train sounds. “the other guy” mentioned in this song was ghostbur as he had to trade in his own life unwillingly in order to revive Wilbur.
Casino Royal(e? i can’t spell): This song is about quackities country Las Nevadas, it’s basically Las Vegas but in the dsmp. not much else to say.
Glad you liked the songs! they’re awesome!
Oh how I love to watch this guys reactions and jokes....he reminds me of myself so much that I don't feel so alone in the web of internet.
"Some war in the DSMP server, something got destroyed-"
Me Pulling out DSMP history book: Eh, correct give or take ten or so
Doomsday was from the attackers' povs, and Why was from one of the victim's pov of the carnage that happened that day. And eeeeveeeryoooone felt betrayed and it was amazing to watch
“There’s knifes of course it’s dark”
Me: There blowing up a nation yah it’s dark
Doomsday is kinda from the perspective of the one who *was* betrayed. "The Plagues" Animatic by WolfytheWitch is of the same battle. I really love how they flipped the context of the original song on it's head, making Ramses' voice the one heralding God's wrath.
the train station is based after the your city gave me asthma cover in the REVIVED music video so fun fact!
Posted this in the discord but gonna put it here too
amazing reaction as always !!! i was so excited for your reactions to why and revived, theyre phenomenal songs w so many layers and references
yessss I was waiting for you to listen to sounds of the SMP ESPECIALLY for revived because I've been listening to that song on repeat ever since it came out, it slaps so hard (also for a different song that's technically mcyt related: Tubbo, another minecraft youtuber, recently released a song of his own with CG5 and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!) great video as always!!
you should definitely watch a summary or something to catch up on the dream amp! derivakat's lyrics are so wonderfully crafted, it's so perfectly done and when you know the background it makes the songs so very cool to listen to!
