It's for John. Karkat was attracted to John from the beginning, and "As the ones I've watched for thirteen years" means that he's been alone those 13 years, waiting for someone. Then John came along, and "Can you hold on for just three more?" means that he's waiting those three years it was going to take for the meteor and ship to collide, letting him finally meet John in person for the first time. This song is deeper set into the story of Homestuck than one might think. The song is all fluff
i'm a new baby homestuck… just finished the original comic... im crying listening to this and mum looks at me and goes "That weird comic you read with all the glasses in 3 months?"
// its like i'm a piñata full of feels and this song comes to hit me with a stick of beauteous harmonies. and once it hits me enough, all my feels just burst out, like 'hey there, its not like I needed you anyways' //
They played the original in dance today at school. All the girls knew the original bc Twilight. I only knew because this song. I was singing these lyrics, not the original omg.
@@ToonieTheToon I believe that this song actually IS Johnkat. I have been listening to the lyrics nonstop and I think it's safe to assume that Karkat is talking about John. The line "Can you hold on for just three more" could only apply to John or Jade since Dave is on the meteor with Karkat and it wouldn't make sense if the song was talking about Dave since Karkat doesn't need to wait 3 extra years to be red with Dave. I think it's also safe to assume that Karkat isn't talking about Jade because of the line "How's he so brave?" and the few after it. So yeah, that's why I believe this song is actually Johnkat. I could be wrong, but I also could be right. We'll never knoww...
Who voices broadway Karkat!!!!!!????? Omg... Every broadway Karkat song gives me goosebumps! Whoever sings these is an amazing singer! Such a beautiful voice~
Okay, I NEVER cry for ANYTHING. I've always been hard-hearted, but...this...it...made me cry. I love JohnKat so much, and this is how I really think Karkat feels about John.
My friend Ellie loves this song, and almost all the time, I'll hear at least some homestuck fansong. Most of the time, It'll be this one. Now I know why she loves it so much.
This song is for John. The line 'Are the stars the same as the ones I watched for 13 years' was Karkat asking if the stars in the neo-space John and Jade were in were the same as the ones on Earth - remember that Karkat watched John's entire life, all thirteen years of it. And the line after that, 'Can you hold on for just 3 more?', was Karkat asking if John could wait for the 3 years he'd be alone with Jade while Karkat was on the meteor with everybody else.
I showed this to my friend and she laughed at me because I sang it perfectly and the right tone etc. etc. then as soon as it ended.....I fangirl over how perfect it is
Okay, what I'm confused about is how everybody calls it a Johnkat song, but at the beginning it says 'Guardian Zodiac' and John's guardian zodiac is Vriska, Jade's is Karkat. There are other clues that could hint to Johnkat, like 'Watch your past', but I'm still confused at that part. Could somebody help me understand this? .3.
Well in the song it says "How's he so brave? How can he say that he's ready," (unless I misheard it) And "Are your stars all the same as the ones I've watched for 13 years? an you hold on for just three more?" This is saying that Karkat's singing about A. a boy, and B. someone who's in Jade's ship. So it's probably Johnkat, but the beginning is kinda confusing. I don't really get it.
Vriska is actually John's patron troll, not guardian. Karkat is John's guardian zodiac because he is the one who watched him for those years. It also says "he" and "him" in the song and not "she" or "her", so he must be talking about John. Does this make sense?
I have been listening to the lyrics nonstop and I think it's safe to assume that Karkat is indeed talking about John. The line "Can you hold on for just three more" could only apply to John or Jade since Dave is on the meteor with Karkat and it wouldn't make sense if the song was talking about Dave since Karkat doesn't need to wait 3 extra years to be red with Dave. I think it's also safe to assume that Karkat isn't talking about Jade because of the line "How's he so brave?" and the few after it. So yeah, that's why I believe this song is actually Johnkat. I could be wrong, but I also could be right. We'll never knoww...
BREHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! OTP FOR HOMESTUCK! BEST SONG! MAKE ME CRYYYYYY EVERYTIME!!!! *likes, favorites, and shares to everything i can that i have an account for*
This makes me so amazingly proud to be under his sign. This song suits him and the Cancer sign so perfectly. Cancers are known for being compassionate, emotional and loving, even though they may be weak.
Like I needed more reasons to love Karkat more than any other character? What? No, I'm not crying. What are you talking about? I'm just... sobbing uncontrollably. Well, it's okay, it's not like my heart is broken or anything... *dead*
HOLY SHIT THIS IS A JOHNKAT SONG?! I DON'T EVEN SHIP THAT!! HOW CAN THAT SHIP PRODUCE SO BEAUTIFUL?! ;-; AH! MY FEELS! NO, CRAP, I'M GONNA HAVE SOME CLEANING UP TO DO GUYS, MY FEELS JUST BROKE. THERE'S ABOUT A MILLION PIECES EVERYWHERE.
@madirae011 dave is with karkitty, and in the song it says wait for 3 more years because you know they're on a metior for 3 years and dave is with him, while john and jade are two that have been pared with karkat a lot (well so has dave and a lot of other people) anyway (she talks a lot)
first time i listened to this i didn't really understand it it because i was only up to the beginning of act 5 and then i listened to it again at the end and now i can't stop feeling. It hurts so good! *sobs in the corner*
Now I've heard a couple of the Broadway Karkat songs, and honestly? They are some of my favorite songs x3 Somehow they just seem so meaningful or something .. I don't really know .. maybe I'm just really weird x3
the use of the word 'he' multiple times, plus the 'catch my breath' line plus he only watched John's entire life. He might've been Jade's Patron, but he only saw John's life
at 2:47, it says "counltess" instead of countless, i thought i just needed to point this out, but other than that everything is perfect and beautiful song
well from john's perspective that is. from karkat's perspective it was probably only a few months considering he didnt watch john when he lived on alternia.
This is probably JohnKat based on the fact that the lyrics say "can you hold on for just three more" I think it's referencing the fact that he won't see John until after 3 years. But if you prefer DaveKat, you can still imagine it's Dave he's singing about~ I mean it's not really confirmed, I think the artist might have done that on purpose.
very creative, and lovely singing.....i think im starting to get obcessed with karkat.....^^; even though i hadly got though a few pages of the comic..... (just started ~)
New headcanon: during the intermission, whenever Karkat is alone, he goes to the top of the meteor and sings this song into the void hoping that john hears him

I'm not crying my eyes are cosplaying Equius...
D--> I'm not crying my eyes are perspiring
Beefpatty yes.
Beefpatty good one
this is my favorite comment i've ever read
That's a smart one-
WITH THE MOST RECENT PAGE AND THE CONFIRMED DAVEKAT THIS NEARLY MADE ME SOB
+Kate Seacliff IDK, I read the update as a diamond relationship. I could totally see them as moirails and JohnKat as matesprits
Fiona Trumitch Why is it that basically no Homestuck fans care about the fact that JOHN IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL
1-peoples tastes change over time. 2- he could still be bisexual
Fiona Trumitch isnt dave bisexual?
@@Bunny-zz7gu Didn't Hussie confirm that every character (Except for Kanaya who is Canonically Lesbian) is bisexual? Technically not homo :33
The original came on the radio today and I started singing the wrong lyrics and crying 😭😭 I'm a grown ass adult in my own car, goddammit Homestuck
Yeah honestly, this shit is crawling back into my psyche like a goddamn mental squatter.
It still hits hard into my adulthood 😭
Listening to this through the update in 2016. Three years are over, Karkat. What will you do now?
He'll cry, just like the rest of us.
He’s dating Dave
Living with Dave and Jade
Enjoying a universe with his closest friends
Life’s probably pretty good for him
The epilogues tho :(
“Life’s probably pretty good for him” SOBS INCREDIBLY HARD
@@philtrashno2 im Literally scared of homestuck 2 and ep.

I miss my homestuck phase so much... it was so cathartic to listening to all of these songs four years ago and now I feel too numb
IM TRYING TO SING IT WITH THE SONG BUT I KEEP TRYING TO SING THOUSAND INSTEAD OF THIRTEEN

Mine did when I first heard it. Now that I don't directly listen to it, it doesn't happen. I always have it playing in the background.

Okay, what I'm confused about is how everybody calls it a Johnkat song, but at the beginning it says 'Guardian Zodiac' and John's guardian zodiac is Vriska, Jade's is Karkat.

I would go to them all and song a long
"counltess" Am I the only one who tried pronouncing it like this?
