This is a fan song about the web series Critical Role - of course, all characters referenced are created by the players: Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Laura Bailey, Ashley Johnson, Taliesin Jaffe, Travis Willingham, and Sam Riegel and the world of Exandria they play in is created by DM, Matt Mercer!
This is the first of a few songs I've written about the show, so I think I will continue to post Critical Role-related songs on this channel. Beware! They may reference spoilers, but they're pretty cryptic so you should be ok as long as you don't think too hard about it haha.
Big thank you to:
Jonny Cheung on violin
( / jonamund )
Leo Kelly-Gee on guitar

And since I'm posting this on the 28th May, Happy birthday to the twins!
Lyrics:
Into the wilderness
Into the forest I watch you go
Counting each step that you take giving life to the flowers that grow
I am not worthy of…
I was not worthy to be by your side
Forced to bow to the fates and I rolled and I rolled and I tried and I tried
Yearning to comb through your wires, the colour of sun-painted skies,
Learning the ways of the world as you see it through those amber eyes
Into the hunting nest
Into the shadows I watch you creep
To cast judgement upon wayward creatures with grace or a silencing blow
Stand for the both of us
Shine through the dark as the sun to my night
And mirror my wings with your wings and my blade with your champion’s bow
Be not afraid of the path that you take, I know Mother is proud
Trust in your say as the souls you forsake make their way underground
Prithee, take care of your fellow found family,
I’m watching o’er you through raven’s eyes
Be well aware that the joy that you’ve given me
Was more than abundant for one man’s life
Lean on each other through folly and tragedy,
Seek merrymaking and light the skies
I will repay all the love that you’ve given,
I’ll speak to you through a whisper, albeit of tempered wind
I’ll fly to you and while you’ll never know it I’ll hold your hand
Look out for me in the bend of a tree or a feathery friend
I will see you again
Stick to the Everlight,
They would do well with your mace in the fight
And if they find themselves in a Pickle, receive them within your repair
Cast the smoke from your sight,
Curb your head with your heart and do only what’s right
And if your beloved should falter or fall all I ask is be there
Break every barrier, offer your shoulders
And Brother, be strong
Shed life and laughter, the world is a tapestry
Filled with your song
Lead.
Trust.
Heal.
Love.
Shield.
Laugh.
I’ll comfort you through the warmth of the blood running through your veins
I’ll cling to you by the thread of our fates as it frays and bends
Remember me as you walk through the freeze to the cold, bitter end
I will see you again.
I will see you again.

Oh my god, chilled to the bone. This is just . . . I actually have no words
👆
That coming from one of the giants in critical role songs
Same here
I still want to hear these two collaborate 😮 I’m sure we would all love the result
Wow... Just, wow... I need more tissues. "...Mother is proud..." 😭😭😭 I'm gonna be watching this again. And again. And again...
Was not even two minutes in and started crying, this is so beautiful and emotional! Your voice, the instrumentals, the lyrics WOW
I hope Liam listened to this. I bet he would get emotional, I certainly do. ❤️❄️
hi this is incredible. The lyrics are fantastic and full of heart and i love how i knew instantly who each lyric was addressing even before it got to any identifying features (like mentions of bows/etc). The music is also the perfect pairing to Vax, and WOW are you an amazing singer.
Will also admit that I cried listening to this :')
Brought tears to my eyes. BEAUTIFUL
OH. Your voice is *gorgeous* and the way you weave the melody together with the instrumentals is incredible! And man, the *harmonies* at the end on "I will see you again" are haunting, fantastic job
What a beautiful song!
I'm back for the fourth consecutive day listening to this, I swear I pick out different references every time. It's so beautiful and well done!
Wow your voice is beautiful - and this is soo lyrical. Reminds me of the best of Heather Dale whom I adore
Absolutely beautiful. I cried 💜
Great song, and what a voice!
Epic. I hope you take great pride in what you've created here. I know how much work it takes to put something like this together, and you've done a remarkable job

This song was beautiful. Such lovely sentiments and hopes that he has for his family. I also really love how you selected different environments for the video to represent each character he is speaking to. Very well done!
