The most deep chocolatey alto you know on youtube just casually dropping BALLAD OF JANE DOE is honestly terrifying my god. Is there anything you cant do!?
IKR? I was literally just thinking the other day that this is a song I'd never be able to sing in front of other ppl bc my range is lower and the song has so many high notes it'd make my voice shatter like glass. And then the deepest prettiest femme voice I know just up and does this and now I have no excuse
@@RafScrapphantom and Christine both… small wonder you make quite the impression on the ears… and the mind. Kudos… this is so beautiful. Great job, such a wonderful piece to show of your range!
I had to double check if this was another collaboration with Lacey or someone else after that opening! I didn't know Raf's voice could go that high that well! And that art is terrifyingly great too
A lot of my higher notes are usually kept in backgrounds and ad-libs, you can only hear them if you squint, so it was a bit of a gamble using them as my main vocals. I'm glad you enjoyed 💛
When you hit the high notes, your voice sounds like a mix between a flute and a ghost. This is lovely and somber. The art is so gorgeous as well. I love the transition into the latter half. You nailed it as always
@@RafScrap Yeah, it was a great cover and it's nice to hear some of your higher register. Can you check out "The Cost of the Crown" by Mercedes Lackey? I think it could be a potential cover song for you.
MA'AM?!?!?!? The way I screamed when I saw this! I became obsessed with the song upon hearing another person cover it, and now YOU covered it??? 😭 I'm so happy. You sound ethereal, and I'll stop now, but AHH.
Oh my god I’m pretty sure I actually just witnessed the voice of an actual goddess, the LAYERS, the ART, the mix and emotions. Lord you fed us so good queen 😮💨🔥👑
The way I impatiently waited for the alto power drop on the second act but did not expect you to go through ALL those high notes so accurately AND effortlessly!! And the SCALES were delicious, so scrumptious to hear!!! You gaslighted me too well, I’ll be ready to hear your next opera song, Christine 😏 Or should I say, Pristine, because that was perfect hahaha
Son of a finch, I have GOT to start paying more attention to musicals; they make absolutely succulent cover material for Raf and the ScrapCats! Guess I'll be looking up "Ride the Cyclone" in the future; seems intense and philosophical. Congratulations on making forays out of your vocal range, Raf! I'd say you did a soprano song justice; you're definitely hitting the high notes along with your usual dramatic alto crooning! The art for each Act is fittingly contrasting with each other; the Act 2 in particular certainly emphasizes the singer's feelings of lost/nonexistent identity (it's amazing how much more unsettling someone looks without the back half of their head), and the gouges being dug into her face are a beautifully sickening detail. I'm going to guess that the lack of daisies in Act 2 is symbolic of "Jane Doe's" feeling of nothingness in the hereafter, but the neon blue fences/railroad tracks(?) have me stumped. (Which, granted, isn't difficult, but still.) Shout out to Gezeus and Lyra for their assistance in assembling your latest masterpiece, too! May you all continue to thrive in the coming autumn!
I'm always happy to be able to introduce new music to you, Blue. Jane Doe lost her head during an accident on a malfunctioning roller coaster called 'The Cyclone', and her body went unclaimed. Hence the tracks. It's a great musical, i'd highly recommend it. Thank you for taking the time to write such thoughtful comments 💛 happy autumn!
Most other versions I’ve heard seem to play off the dramatic side of it and play into the original while those seems to go for more of a ghostly haunting feeling. I absolutely love it!
Can we talk about how good their art has gotten over the years? The deep expressions, the striking poses, the GORGEOUS shading/lighting and colors that elevates the whole thing! God that level of skill is something I hope to gain one day. Keep it up you incredible icon!
Raf, dear God, your vocals are insane on this track. I get that singing high as an alto is difficult (I'm one myself) but you make it sound so easy. I cried halfway through the cover simply because you sounded so incredible. This cover was absolutely perfect... no, it was better than perfect. I just don't have the words to describe it. Well done is all I can say! ❤😭
@@betholiver4742 It's okay. Your voice is beautiful just the way it is. Besides, who doesn't love a deep smooth singing voice that sounds like melting dark chocolate?
I spent a few months hooked on this song, but kept telling myself it wouldn't work out for an alto haha! I'm glad I tried it and happy to hear a fellow alto enjoyed 💛
Hearing most of your covers this has to be my new favorite OH MY GOD IM SWOONINGGGG and at a impeccable time with my internal debate whether or not to watch the musical and I NEED TO HEAR YOU COVER NOEL'S LAMENT BRAVISMO RAF THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US SO WELL👅🤍🤍🤍
Ride the Cyclone is a fantastic musical, the premise immediately intrigued me. Would highly recommend watching it if you can. I'm glad you enjoyed this rendition, eat lots 💛
@@RafScrap I appreciate all the seen and unseen effort you put into your craft. I don't know much about the finer points of music, but I know you are both talented and well practiced.
As a wise woman once said, ‘Oh my god’. You never do fail to amaze. Throughout your covers, have you showcased your ability to lean into darker tones, you masterfully mesmerise your audience, but this song just reveals your incredible range and flexibility. This still held onto that dark tone that, I presume that I can say that ‘we all’, have come accustomed to, yet you soared into something akin to celestial and downright mind blowing. This was a perfect contrast and showcase of what you are able to do. You are an incredible singer, artist and overall individual. You are skilled, amazing and iconic. You’ve done great, Raf, you blew me off my feet and I do believe that this finally got me to my grave - kudos, it sounds soppy, but I’m so happy for you and proud of you for releasing another masterpiece. ♥️
HOLY IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! Unfortunately I won’t be able to see it live, but I can’t wait for your amazing siren like vocals to cover one of my favourite musical theatre songs! Much love from Canada ❤
Sooooo, here I am with my thoughts, all is mine but the voice that calls me to sleep. So here's just a long comment of thoughts from yours truly. Just gonna preface this with, I am dumb. My opinions and thoughts are probably wrong so... yeah. I know a lot of people talk about Mommy/Daddy Raf, sexuality and things like that (I can't tell if they're joking or not). But Raf's voice is just so immaculate, I can't even view it in any other way than pure admiration. It's musical, it's Japanese pop style (I'm dumb, idk what it's called), it's strong, it's soft (also can we talk about that massive flip from part 1 to part 2? How do you get soft with tension, to (concrete? solid? full?) but with just pure abandon?) It's that in every song Raf does, she just has voice. (I wrote that down and even I'm confused by what I meant by that) It is hers. Her voice. Her notes. Her song. And maybe it's ironic that this is on Jane Doe (which is about a person who doesn't know who they are after riding a rollercoaster, I think?) because Raf's voice knows full well what it is. It's rooted so much in its identity and it's beautiful to hear. (EDIT: OH MY BLOODY IDIOT HOW COULD I FORGET THE ART) it's so different from the usual? Like way softer and watercolour -ish, AHHHHHHHH ITS SO PRETTY (Also... Duviri's Paradox anyone?) (I'm playing this on loop and the first "Oh my soul" just melted me, I am currently a puddle of adoration)
What an artistic description, thank you for taking the time to write out your feelings. I love reading stream-of-thought comments like this, it's an honor.
I swear you are the best singer out there. If there is a day you put out your own music, i would try to be in line to get a physical copy or something. You're that good. And i have nothing but high praises for you.
Raf out here spoiling us with so many uploads lately, oh dear I don't know if my heart can keep up. But damn Lord (heh heh) does she have THE RANGE. I might be even more impressed than usual this evening and the art is gorgeous, an unique take on your style, again she got the range! Haunted by this truly, stop by my dreams again soon, dearest Raf ❤
hiding this in a reply heh heh but since we're thinking about musicals, everyone go listen to Lempicka and have gay daydreams about Raf singing Woman Is, its worth it I promise 😘 have a great day/night all you fellow exquisite music taste havers!
Omg, Thank you, Rafscarp! This song has always been my favorite from Ride the Cyclone, and hearing you sing it is amazing! You always have an amazing voice
managed to catch the live :D everyone was so sweet and expressed their eternal love for the queen (me included hehe). it was the first thing i saw when i opened up youtube, and i froze and assessed and realized it was happening!! and then i screamed. raf, i think ur actually a soprano in alto disguise (or however that goes, idk, im still shaking and giggling) because those HIGH NOTES WERE LITERALLY TO DIE FOR and ur art is just chef's kiss MWAH always and forever (one day ill get up the courage to draw something for u and send it to u) ur truly godsent raf ily and ur so lucky to have so many wonderful friends and admirers 💜💜💜 (also im editing to say that ur helping make my sickeness better cuz i currently have a cold :( )
Live chat was so lovely. Thank you for joining, I'll try to do it again in the future. And you've almost got it - i'm secretly 3 altos in a coat. I'm sorry to hear about your cold, hope you feel better soon and recover quickly!
How can her voice go so high and beautiful like this 😩, i neeedd a cover of Noel’s lament now, i can only imagine the end part of it with mother raf’s voice
There's a reason you're my favourite singer ever. But this? This is a masterpiece dear god i am speechless. My admiration for you has only doubled. I didn't know that was possible. Astounding, fantastic job. Thank you for sharing the miracle of your voice (and hard work) with the world
HELP NOT ONE OF MY TOP TEN FAVORITE SONGS RIGHT NOW... ma'am you have the range for this song figuratively AND literally!! I will be looping this for the foreseeable future... your melismas are simply ETHEREAL
Fantastic!!!! Absolutely fantastic!!! Rafscrap never misses a beat with the gorgeous covers!!! This is so haunting and beautiful; it is so impressive to hear something like this! I love this song so much and feel so so happy to have heard it sung by one of my favorite musicians! Thank you so much Rafscrap for the amazing music! 💖😭
I can be having a bad day, but when you upload, all of a sudden my life is now sunshine and daisies. (I love your music so much, thank you for existing. ;V; )
YES BALLAD OF JANE DOE AGDJGJD this is so stunning, it’s amazing hearing your higher tone, it’s absolutely beautiful. I love the inflection of the last “who I am” and the other little changes. And the visuals ofc so amazing 🩶🎢🪦🥀
Truly magnificent. The range and volume of your vocals was on point of a both emotion and impact. You went from a sorrowing lady by a lake to a failling angel seeing the inferno and facing conflict. Keep up the good work.
ISSO ESTÁ REALMENTE PERFEITO! Cara, Raf é uma das pessoas que eu agradeço a Deus por ter conhecido o canal, porque de verdade tudo que ela faz é uma obra de arte.
DUDE, this is gorgeous i cant, legit praying that ill manage to get this type of vocal range sometime this year in choir, altos have got jaw dropping voices
@RafScrap o h ! sorry for pestering you with epic the musical and six while you were in there that was on me (btw if you take requests im literally BEGGING please do songs from epic ✨️)
Raf always gives me a reason to start a good week with her cover, its 5AM here and its so good I have to leave my homework aside for 5mins and watch this
Your range is incredible. I keep saying you’re one of the most talented artists on not even TH-cam, but the internet, but now I think that’s absolutely an understatement because each video you make is better than the previous. I’ve never said this but it’s because of your talents, humbleness, and kindness (you’re so nice 😭) that you are my favorite TH-camr and artist ever. You never fail to impress me and your comments always make my day. This absolutely blew me away which I expected, but this is definitely my new favorite of yours. Always love you Mother 💛 you’re amazing (:
I'm honored MJ, especially coming from you. Thank you for your lovely words, I hope I can continue to make music that you enjoy. Your support fuels me 💪💛
@@RafScrap Don’t hope to keep making music that I enjoy, because you will definitely keep making music I enjoy. It’s inevitable and I’m so happy I came across your channel. Much love 💗
Mother RafScrap has such an angelic voice, and this tune will certainly never be forgotten because of it. She definitely deserves celebration and we will all care when silence falls.
I got so excited when I saw that you had covered this song, it had quickly became one of my favorites what I first heard it. You succeeded in making me fall in love with your voice and art all over again. I am so impressed with the range you have. Your lower tone is like smooth velvet, and your higher tone has a sorrowful sweetness to it if that makes any sense. Either way it worked perfectly for this song.
ome might say we're released Pushing daisies, deceased But we all know the worms must be fed There's just one lingering fear Oh, my soul, is it here Or is it rotting somewhere with my head? Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Oh, my soul Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ah Ahh-ahh-ah Oh, no soul, and no name And no story, what a shame Cruel existence was only a sham Oh, Saint Peter, let me in You must know where I've been Won't you tell me at last who I am? Who I am Who I am Who I am Who I am Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ah-ahh Ahh-ah-ah And from the ground, beneath my feet I hear the anguish of the street (A choir never complete) And like an old forgotten tune A song that no one knows Forgot how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And I'm askin', "Why, Lord? If this is how I die, Lord Why be left with no family And no friends?" (Ooh) I've got no celebration Just this consolation Time eats all these children in the end A melody floats through the air When silence falls, does no one care? (Does anyone care?) Another sad, forgotten tune Another song that no one knows So that's how it goes Just John and me Forever eternally, Jane Doe And she's askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?) "This is no way to die, Lord!" (No one to sing, no one to sigh) Now that all is said and done Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am? No singing songs of celebration Just this sorry speculation Like John, I'll be eternally A forgotten name, some lost refrain Just "Jane" Jane
The range that you keep delighting us is just-damn. I love how you can convey such tenderness and a vulnerability that feels raw when it needs to be and yet pull it off in such a refined way? Good on ya holyshit. And I seriously appreciate how your songs have a dark twist to them. There is no other way to describe the feeling other than DELICIOUS. Don't hold back please, hit us harder with that sweet sweet darkness. And wait before I forget, twice in one month?! THANK YOU! Always a highlight of my day.
You always write such lovely comments. Thank you very much for taking the time, I appreciate it. I'm trying to (operative word: trying) upload once every two weeks, so I hope there will be more music for you to enjoy. Also hope you're feeling better since the last upload!
@@RafScrap *squeaks* Once every two weeks?! That would be awesome! Though I definitely welcome the potential, I hope you don't push yourself to the point where it wears too much at you and ruins the fun. I'd assume you enjoy being so 'cheekily creative' with us, and hope that feeling never goes away. So take care of it please! And yes, I'm definitely better thank you!
Crying because I missed this and also because of your vocals. Tbh I've been looping your songs since like 2023 but I never commented because idek😭Literally my favorite FAVORITE singer on the whole internet frfr like I genuinely will loop every new song you come out with just because of how good they areee!! I have no idea what else to say but I really hope more people find you because you're genuinely such a good artist and singerrr🤩🤩
Oh I'm a big Raf looper too! Ever since I figured out you can play your own files via Spotify my life hasn't been the same. She would probably be my top artist every year too!
Im losing my mind. I never listened to the Ballad of Jane Doe but holy SHIIIIIIT. Im dead and deceased from this song. Incredible work, and artwork as well. Such a big fan
Ahhhhhh that was a great moment !!! Cheers for more Premiere like those, I had a lovely time spamming with everyone xDD Lovely cover Raf, again you never disappoint ❤The art, the cover in itself, the EDITING !!! 😍 (I know I'm very focused on that but I can't help it, thats my passion XD) This song HAD to be on your channel at some point 🥰 THANK YOU FOR THE FEAST !!! 🙏
I had a lovely time getting to chat with everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed 💛 Will definitely host more premieres in the future, please keep your eyes peeled
The most deep chocolatey alto you know on youtube just casually dropping BALLAD OF JANE DOE is honestly terrifying my god. Is there anything you cant do!?
it's spooky season!
Glorious
'the most deep chocolatey alto you know' is going to be my new discord tagline
IKR? I was literally just thinking the other day that this is a song I'd never be able to sing in front of other ppl bc my range is lower and the song has so many high notes it'd make my voice shatter like glass. And then the deepest prettiest femme voice I know just up and does this and now I have no excuse
HELP THE SONG HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET, I CAN ALREADY HEAR HER VOICE IN MY HEAD.
Embrace it!~
I literally went. "Oh, Jane does song, OH RAF SINGING JANES SONG."
She does the song so much justice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind
@@RafScrapphantom and Christine both… small wonder you make quite the impression on the ears… and the mind.
Kudos… this is so beautiful. Great job, such a wonderful piece to show of your range!
@@RafScrapthat’s how I started listening to you
I had to double check if this was another collaboration with Lacey or someone else after that opening! I didn't know Raf's voice could go that high that well! And that art is terrifyingly great too
i was doing the same thing. as an alto, i’m so impressed my voice could never 😭😭😭
I know, right?!
@@isabelledummer3857Us altos struggle in the higher range but that doesn't mean we can't do it. It's just difficult.
A lot of my higher notes are usually kept in backgrounds and ad-libs, you can only hear them if you squint, so it was a bit of a gamble using them as my main vocals. I'm glad you enjoyed 💛

No one has ever said that to me before, what a lovely description.
This is hauntingly beautiful. Kinda scary to be just an unknown. No one to mourn you. Just a label of many "Jane Doe"
I actually think I'd prefer to be forgotten, but the song captured that fear so beautifully. I'm glad you enjoyed
@@RafScrap Yeah, it was a great cover and it's nice to hear some of your higher register. Can you check out "The Cost of the Crown" by Mercedes Lackey? I think it could be a potential cover song for you.
Raf is a divine eldritch being and just too humble to admit it
Nah she 100% a siren with that voice
MA'AM?!?!?!? The way I screamed when I saw this! I became obsessed with the song upon hearing another person cover it, and now YOU covered it??? 😭 I'm so happy. You sound ethereal, and I'll stop now, but AHH.
That's so sweet, happy to have created another rendition of this gorgeous song for you to enjoy 💛
Oh my god I’m pretty sure I actually just witnessed the voice of an actual goddess, the LAYERS, the ART, the mix and emotions. Lord you fed us so good queen 😮💨🔥👑
Igi I couldn't say it in chat because I was cooking haha but thank you very much for joining the premiere, I was happy to see you there 💛
Frankly amazing that you could pull this beast of a song off - those velvety tones rocked it! Excellent job!
What a pleasant surprise visitor. Happy you enjoyed 💛
RAF THE ART IS STUNNING AND YOUR SINGING IS GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS
Always a pleasure to see you enjoy Justine, appreciate it 💛
YOUR VOICE IS SO GOOD WHAT? I had no idea you could go that high!!
It's not the easiest range for me, so I'm glad you enjoyed 💛
@@RafScrap You did so well!! Sorry I didn't see your reply lmfao

There's a reason you're my favourite singer ever. But this? This is a masterpiece dear god i am speechless. My admiration for you has only doubled. I didn't know that was possible. Astounding, fantastic job. Thank you for sharing the miracle of your voice (and hard work) with the world

I can be having a bad day, but when you upload, all of a sudden my life is now sunshine and daisies. (I love your music so much, thank you for existing. ;V; )
I hope your days stay bright. Rooting for you, thank you for the lovely words
YES BALLAD OF JANE DOE AGDJGJD this is so stunning, it’s amazing hearing your higher tone, it’s absolutely beautiful. I love the inflection of the last “who I am” and the other little changes. And the visuals ofc so amazing 🩶🎢🪦🥀
Oh my god!! This is incredible!! 🤩
Appreciate it 💛
WOWWW!! Thank you TH-cam Recommendations- your voice is BEAUTIFUL!! Literally silk!!
Thank you for stopping by, happy you enjoyed 💛
Truly magnificent. The range and volume of your vocals was on point of a both emotion and impact. You went from a sorrowing lady by a lake to a failling angel seeing the inferno and facing conflict. Keep up the good work.
What lovely imagery. Happy you enjoyed 💛
@@RafScrap thanks. I hope things have been well for you.
ISSO ESTÁ REALMENTE PERFEITO! Cara, Raf é uma das pessoas que eu agradeço a Deus por ter conhecido o canal, porque de verdade tudo que ela faz é uma obra de arte.
An amazing cover of one of my favourite Ride the cyclone songs, your voice never fails to give me shivers mother Raf 👏👏👏
Happy to have done one of your favorites justice 💛
DUDE, this is gorgeous i cant, legit praying that ill manage to get this type of vocal range sometime this year in choir, altos have got jaw dropping voices
YOUR VOICE IS ACTUALLY PERFECTION, THANK YOU FOR DOING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGSSS!!! WE LOVE YOU RAF!! ❤️❤️
One of my favorites as well, my pleasure 💛 Happy you enjoyed
This actually made me tear up. I love this you have an amazing voice I love it
Ah precious tears please donate them to me
I love the way you said that. Here's a jar of tears shed during consentual pain acceptance 🥛
MY QUEEN THIS IS SO GOOD SO YUMMY IVE LITERALLY BEEN THINKING ABT THIS SONG FOR DAYSS THEN BOOM POSTED YAYAYAY
I've been reading your mind
@RafScrap o h ! sorry for pestering you with epic the musical and six while you were in there that was on me (btw if you take requests im literally BEGGING please do songs from epic ✨️)
Raf always gives me a reason to start a good week with her cover, its 5AM here and its so good I have to leave my homework aside for 5mins and watch this
That makes me happy to hear. Hope your homework went well, and that the rest of your week does as well.
@@RafScrap This week is actually really well thanks to this. I've been listening to this nonstop, keep going Raf I love your covers!
Your range is incredible. I keep saying you’re one of the most talented artists on not even TH-cam, but the internet, but now I think that’s absolutely an understatement because each video you make is better than the previous. I’ve never said this but it’s because of your talents, humbleness, and kindness (you’re so nice 😭) that you are my favorite TH-camr and artist ever. You never fail to impress me and your comments always make my day. This absolutely blew me away which I expected, but this is definitely my new favorite of yours. Always love you Mother 💛 you’re amazing (:
I'm honored MJ, especially coming from you. Thank you for your lovely words, I hope I can continue to make music that you enjoy. Your support fuels me 💪💛
@@RafScrap Don’t hope to keep making music that I enjoy, because you will definitely keep making music I enjoy. It’s inevitable and I’m so happy I came across your channel. Much love 💗
Everytime you upload a cover you're increasing my want to cover list my queen
BUT YOURE SO BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIC I LOVE YOU
So you're saying if I want to hear you sing something I should just upload it? Oh, too easy
Thank you for your support angel 💛
@@RafScrap you're not wrong but u gotta let me know which you wanted me to sing//whacked
Anytime my Queen uwu
Mother RafScrap has such an angelic voice, and this tune will certainly never be forgotten because of it. She definitely deserves celebration and we will all care when silence falls.
Can you please put this one on Spotify? Your voice is beautiful
The way my jaw dropped when I saw this cover get posted.
😮 but irl
Your voice would be so perfect for this song, all the high notes would be perfectly hit you absolute goddess-
That's high praise, hope you enjoyed 💛
@@RafScrapI, as a theatre kid, can assure that I’ve listened at least five times over-
Mother is taking us to heaven with those heavenly vocals 🗣❤️
It's a road trip
RAF I LITERALLY ASCENDED WITH THIS! YESS!
Where are you going come back down here
I got so excited when I saw that you had covered this song, it had quickly became one of my favorites what I first heard it. You succeeded in making me fall in love with your voice and art all over again. I am so impressed with the range you have. Your lower tone is like smooth velvet, and your higher tone has a sorrowful sweetness to it if that makes any sense. Either way it worked perfectly for this song.
It was so cool getting to listen to your voice in a higher register!!! You've blown us all away (like a cyclone, heh) with your skills ♡
The cyclone part made me smile haha 💛 happy you enjoyed
the artwork is off the charts
YOUR RANGE! 😍😍😍
ome might say we're released
Pushing daisies, deceased
But we all know the worms must be fed
There's just one lingering fear
Oh, my soul, is it here
Or is it rotting somewhere with my head?
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Oh, my soul
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah
Ahh-ahh-ah
Oh, no soul, and no name
And no story, what a shame
Cruel existence was only a sham
Oh, Saint Peter, let me in
You must know where I've been
Won't you tell me at last who I am?
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ahh
Ahh-ah-ah
And from the ground, beneath my feet
I hear the anguish of the street
(A choir never complete)
And like an old forgotten tune
A song that no one knows
Forgot how it goes
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe
And I'm askin', "Why, Lord?
If this is how I die, Lord
Why be left with no family
And no friends?" (Ooh)
I've got no celebration
Just this consolation
Time eats all these children in the end
A melody floats through the air
When silence falls, does no one care?
(Does anyone care?)
Another sad, forgotten tune
Another song that no one knows
So that's how it goes
Just John and me
Forever eternally, Jane Doe
And she's askin', "Why, Lord?" (Why, oh why, oh why, oh why?)
"This is no way to die, Lord!" (No one to sing, no one to sigh)
Now that all is said and done
Isn't there anyone to tell me who I am?
No singing songs of celebration
Just this sorry speculation
Like John, I'll be eternally
A forgotten name, some lost refrain
Just "Jane"
Jane
Your voice is literally perfect for this song💖
I'm a big fan of this song, so that means a lot to me. Appreciate it 💛
This is so hauntingly beautiful like seriously you did an amazing job!
The range that you keep delighting us is just-damn. I love how you can convey such tenderness and a vulnerability that feels raw when it needs to be and yet pull it off in such a refined way? Good on ya holyshit. And I seriously appreciate how your songs have a dark twist to them. There is no other way to describe the feeling other than DELICIOUS. Don't hold back please, hit us harder with that sweet sweet darkness. And wait before I forget, twice in one month?! THANK YOU! Always a highlight of my day.
You always write such lovely comments. Thank you very much for taking the time, I appreciate it. I'm trying to (operative word: trying) upload once every two weeks, so I hope there will be more music for you to enjoy. Also hope you're feeling better since the last upload!
@@RafScrap *squeaks* Once every two weeks?! That would be awesome! Though I definitely welcome the potential, I hope you don't push yourself to the point where it wears too much at you and ruins the fun. I'd assume you enjoy being so 'cheekily creative' with us, and hope that feeling never goes away. So take care of it please! And yes, I'm definitely better thank you!
My body is purified, my soul ascends. Thank you so much for your art🌹
Absolutely my pleasure 💛
You are able to use your voice so masterfully, this is beyond impressive !! 👏🏻💫
Thank you for yet another astounding masterpiece 😻✨️
My pleasure, happy to hear you enjoyed 💛

Oh I'm a big Raf looper too! Ever since I figured out you can play your own files via Spotify my life hasn't been the same. She would probably be my top artist every year too!
It means a lot that you took the time to write this. So sweet. I'm honored, thank you 💛
No me habia llamado la atencion escuchar la balada de Jane Done antes, agradezco que esta sea la primera 😭😭😭
I got my TH-cam wrapped thing and I listened to this for a hour. I swear I listened to this longer.
As I said in the live chat; you’ve outdone yourself. AGAIN! 🤯 I really don’t know how you do it. ❤
Appreciate it Robin, thank you for joining 💛 #premieregang
