It may be an unpopular opinion but I love this "demo" version of this song a thousand times better than what they ended up with. It feels like they focused too much on the voice impressions over the actual singing whereas this is perfect; a great song, with great lyrics, sung with sincerity, and concentrated just enough with the voices so you could identify the characters singing bit not do much it detracts from the performance. Don't get me wrong I love seeing the passion and I feel like we need more people working together on projects like this cause when I heard this for the first time I remember wanting to cry it was so good.
So ready for Gilmore to belt out the “Me? I loved him” part in reference to Vax. Definitely laughed loud enough to scare the dogs when he sang the “I’m the damn fool who sponsored them” part.
This is so good! Crowdfund a fan musical and I'm right there with you. I'm picturing A Very Potter Musical but about Vox Machina. It would make me so freaking happy >___
We were actually writing it as some of the events in the musical happened in "real life". I wrote the last song of the musical right after watching the episode in question live! But yes, frequent rewatching, spot checks, and checking critrollstats and the wiki
The Cantata Pansophical that takes a lot of time, I'm both suprised and happy by your dedication. It only makes me more excited to see the final project!
If you go to the original announcement they have the lyrics. But for convenience I copied and pasted them for you here. [KIMA / ALLURA / GILMORE] We fought with them [KIMA / ALLURA] We would die for them [KIMA] Me? I trusted them [ALLURA] Me? I loved them [GILMORE] (casual, talking delivery) And me? I’m the damn fool that sponsored ‘em
I really really like this Hamilton and Critical Role are my life do you have any certain date that the final project will be finished and posted can't wait to hear it
So glad you're into it! I have honestly no clue when this will be done. A lot of it will depend on how quickly our singers can record. And then we need to mix/master... Unfortunately, it's a marathon, not a sprint. Hang in there!
The trick with Spotify is they technically pay you (even if it's fractions of pennies). In order to maintain our murky grayness of fair use, I think Spotify is a no go. And since this is a demo, we don't want to officially release it as a download quite yet (The real, final track is gonna be much better). Maybe as a bonus track one day.
The Cantata Pansophical I am not familiar with fair use, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it fine to receive payment for parodies or covers, provided you represent it as such?
My understanding is based on one law related course I took a few semesters ago, so it may not be totally accurate. What I was told is that the law can get fuzzy fast and the precedents are all over the place. We'd need to be sure that what we're doing is a "transformative work" and I'm not sure this qualifies. In addition, I think we might have to set up some method of paying Lin and crew royalties, which I've never dealt with before. All in all, I think making the mp3s available for free download is the best way to go, although I'll happily do more research if I have time.
The Cantata Pansophical That's fair, and, if you're not one hundred percent sure, it's definitely best to air on the side of caution. After all, I would hate to see all this work disappear. Great job with it, by the way.
Fansong bands like Chameleon Circuit (Doctor Who) and lots of Wizard Rock bands are all on Spotify, so I don't see why you guys wouldn't be allowed to? It'd be nice to support you guys a bit while listening to the songs instead of just downloading them for free!
Not yet, sorry. We're making good progress, but I'm not sure when we'll make our final decisions. I'm making it a mission of mine to email everyone back once we decide, so you should hear before everyone else
I for real can't get over how good this is, like, it even rivials, and (don't kill me Hamilton fans) surpasses the original, atleast for me. I can't wait to hear more, I hope its just as awesome as this one :D
We want to get the message out about the auditions as much as possible while they're still open, hence directing traffic to the video with the audition information at the end and in the description. We'll likely make this video public at the end of the month, when auditions end. Feel free to remind me if I forget

"Me? I trusted them."-Kima
Basically when scanlan tries to erase her memories

Every time I hear "trading out pain and suffering for problems they could fix" I tear up.
Cant wait for the full thing to come out, im really excited for it
So ready for Gilmore to belt out the “Me? I loved him” part in reference to Vax. Definitely laughed loud enough to scare the dogs when he sang the “I’m the damn fool who sponsored them” part.
I still listen to this every day!
Every time I hear this, I hear "heroes called vox machina"
Heroes.
They are indeed.
I love this, I have listened to it so many times just today, I'm excited to hear more from you guys.
This is so good! Crowdfund a fan musical and I'm right there with you. I'm picturing A Very Potter Musical but about Vox Machina. It would make me so freaking happy >___
This is honestly the best thing I have ever heard! Such nice voices and talent, well done guys!
I love how the Scanlan part is taken out of episode 62 Minute 30:53 for inspiring himself
If Sam sang Hamilton, we tried incorporating it XD
And forever more history spoke of them
Please let Keyleth be the one singing "I can't wait to see you again... It's only a matter of time" in the end. Please please please please
Spoilers... giphy.com/gifs/Zsxh9Cbq7VCy4/html5
But I thought it was just the conclave arc?
IS IT MORE!!!
WILL WE GET MORE!!
PLEASE!!!
This is beautiful
This is wonderful!
This was amazing. Thank you
IM
CRYING
This is awesome :D
I can't wait for the campaign 2 version of this!
Why does this song always bring me to tears at the line "In Emon we'll take up a new name"
Every time I listen to this I just wonder how many times the writers watched Critical Role to create the whole musical vox machina version
We were actually writing it as some of the events in the musical happened in "real life". I wrote the last song of the musical right after watching the episode in question live! But yes, frequent rewatching, spot checks, and checking critrollstats and the wiki

Damn, that's impressive.
this has to be my favorite video on youtube. how are there 21.8 thousand views but only 654 likes?!
Who are the characters doing each 'We/I' part? Besides the obvious Gilmore being the damn fool that sponsored them.
If you go to the original announcement they have the lyrics. But for convenience I copied and pasted them for you here.
[KIMA / ALLURA / GILMORE]
We fought with them
[KIMA / ALLURA]
We would die for them
[KIMA]
Me? I trusted them
[ALLURA]
Me? I loved them
[GILMORE] (casual, talking delivery)
And me?
I’m the damn fool that sponsored ‘em
Jack Wolf Thanks!
HECK YEAH
Haha... True scanlan.
I really really like this Hamilton and Critical Role are my life do you have any certain date that the final project will be finished and posted can't wait to hear it

The Cantata Pansophical alright
Heads up, it’s out and it’s incredible
Thanks for your job, is amazing! but... Can you set the same lyrics subtitles from the previous videos?
Actually, yeah! It should be good now
Do you think you could put this on Spotify if able? Also, Great work! :)

Have they cast a Percy yet?

I understand. You guys do good work! I look forward to hearing the final product!

Not really a fan of hamilton (please spare me) but this is dope.
Why is this only from the link
