  • "And every day, that raven comes to visit." Roll credits
    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
    ( / leokellygeemusic )
    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.

    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 :')

    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!
