The Ballad of Jane Doe (from Ride the Cyclone)【covered by Anna】

Not-So fun fact, the high notes are heavily implied to be Jane's screams as she's beheaded on the coaster. This song is so morbidly beautiful.

The dance too, the way she's flailing then falling mimics how she fell on the coaster.

the original depicts jane with a creepy haunted doll feel, like a soul trapped in a body it doesnt control. this cover sounds more like someone who has lost their memory and is scared and angry. I love it

[@kylajensen1957]

I feel like amnesia is used as a cheap plot device without considering just how terrifying it'd be to just *not remember* anything about yourself. Like, the existential crisis would be insane. I think the closest we ever got was in the early comics/season zero of Yu-Gi-Oh, where the Pharaoh, due to dark magic shenanigans, has amnesia and is absolutely psychotic. In addition to losing his memory, he was trapped in a magic artifact for 3,000 years (dub makes it 5000 for some reason) and was conscious the *entire* time, wandering around in the little maze dimension contained by the artifact. 3,000 years of complete darkness and isolation, all the while you have no idea who you are, how you got here, what you did to deserve this Hell, or if you're ever going to get out. Who wouldn't be violently unstable after that?

[@opalishmoth8591]

I love this version of Jane- in the play she simply sounds desperate as she sings. Here she is frustrated, as if she is facing the fact the choir can’t give her the answers she needs. She knows she’s human but doesn’t know what being human / alive means. For the majority of the play, the choir shuns her. Can’t fault them- she is a waking morbid existential crisis with a human body with a porcelain dolls head. So the frustration she feels is also wanting to be part of the group, but unable to do so. Of course she doesn’t realize she is non-verbally communicating her frustration. She is just desperate for a name, and doesn’t realize she is also desperate to not be an outsider. Which makes the New Birthday Song more impactful- They can’t give Jane her name but they can make her feel human.

[@your.local_ghost]

stopppp you're gonna make me cry

[@onix_the_eevee]

Something I noticed in the play it the fact that no one in the choir calls her Jane Doe.

[@therealopaartist]

I think it was sweet that Ricky offered up the name Savannah.

[@chloebradly742]

I can't imagine what it must feel like to not know who your are dead or alive the way she wants to know who she is but simply can't remember makes me feel sad for all the Jane and John does that happen In real life dying is one thing but dying and having nobody know who you were is bad to

Fun fact: the line “Time eats all his children in the end” is a reference to how Kronos, the god of time in Greek mythology ate all his children.

[@thevillainousqueenofhearts4976]

I was thinking that too when I was watching a video on Jane/Penny

[@just_a-friendly_helper4357]

Kronos wasn’t actually a god, he was a Titan. His children were gods.

[@gangrenousgandalf2102]

@just_a-friendly_helper4357 Kronos and Chronos are two different Titans. The father of the Olympians, Kronos, is the titan of the harvest

[@Reansel]

Cronos and Chronos are different deities, actually. The former ate his children, the second one is the god of time.

[@threeratsinacan9324]

Funnily enough, I've never read the lyrics and thought it always said 'Titan eats all his children in the end'

[@rosesdrawings]

I think this would be Jane if she DIDNT get picked, being angry instead of sad, at first she was just feeling sorry for herself but here in this version she’s FURIOUS SHE was supposed to be chosen but she wasn’t and now she’s asking *WHY LORD* THIS IS NO WAY TO DIE LORD, THIS IS UNFAIR AND I LOVE THIIIIIS

[@tori_the_rat]

I love this interpretation so much omg

[@dayancarpio3662]

Something interesting that I loved. In the original song, nostalgia is felt above all, beyond the middle you can feel the despair, melancholy and sadness of Jane Doe not knowing who she is. However in this cover I feel more anger, and disappointment, almost like someone demanding justice. I love the slight difference

[@hannahwood4906]

YES! It's gorgeous. Instead of being tragic, it's way more angry. She puts her own spin on it, which is great.

[@sofiachaves7725]

for those who don't know the story of this character, I'll tell it here (Contains spoilers) She is part of a musical that tells the story of 6 teenagers who died in an accident on a roller coaster, the corpses of 5 of them were identified, except hers, which was found decapitated, and when the six arrived in the afterlife, they played a game to finally vote on who deserved to come back to life All the participants in this game have told a little bit about themselves in these songs, but as seen in the song by "Jane", she doesn't remember any information about herself at all, and with that, she wins the game and is given a second chance to live, as everyone else has had a life with memories except her It ends up having a good ending, where Jane's whole life (who is also revealed to be named Penny) plays on a screen, there she had a good childhood, grew up, got married, gave birth to children, raised a family, worked, aged and passed away peacefully by age, the other 5 characters passed to the afterlife peacefully

[@lareselcorrobarrutia6773]

In fact, it is a great detail that she is called "Jane Doe", since unidentified corpses are called "Jane Doe" (Female) and "Jhon Doe" (Man)

Anything with completely black eyes scares me, let alone Anna’s enchanting, scary voice perfectly fitting any ballad. Well done Anna this song certainly sets the halloween mood.

[@rosae_rosae_rosa]

Maybe you don't know where the black eyes come from (if you do, don't bother read what's following, I'm gonna explain the context of the show) This song is from the musical theater "Ride the Cyclone". Six teens die during a ride in a roller coaster. They end up in the afterlife, with Karnak, a magical creature, that propose them to bring one of them back in life. This character has been decapitated in the accident, and no one found her head. She remains unidentified, and names Jane Doe, as all unidentified female corpses. Even she, in the afterlife, has no idea who she was. She is wearing a doll's head, I don't know exactly why. To be less scary ? To simply talk, hear and see ? This song is her attempt to prove the other teens SHE deserved to go back to life (she's not selfish, they all have their song). She is lamentating about the pain of not having memories, and not being able to peacefully go to the afterlife, and to be stuck with "John" (Doe. Male corpses)

Little fun fact for you! This song is in fact not a ballad, but a lament! Just like how Noel's lament is not a lament, but a Ballad!

[@ACEATTORNEYANDMHABRAINROT]

A lot of people think that the line "I hear the anguish of the street" means that she could hear the screams of people when she got beheaded, I think that interpretation is fine, but I think that line means what she hoped was true. She hoped that people cared, or even knew that she died.

Tbh it's not that fee fetched. In the musical Jane is a corpse they found in the accident that since it didn't have a head,no one recognized the body and that no one remember an extra member in the choir she remained unnamed and thus they gave her the name Jane Doe. There's a theory that says that she was murdered by a foster father but it takes into account another musical by the same people and it's not confirmed as true

It’s from Ride The Cyclone, which is about 6 teens who died in a roller coaster accident. One of them is Jane Doe, who lost her head and the only person who knew who she was died shortly after them. The plot of the show is the teens trying to decide which one of them gets to go back to life. It’s an amazing show, highly recommend tracking down a copy (there’s a few on KZbin) and giving the soundtrack a listen.

I like this one better. Everyone has felt the feelings of getting close to something but completely missing it. And the rage and frustration that comes with this. Jane sounding upset is just this but to a greater extent. I like to imagine that in this version of Jane, after hearing everyone’s desires and wishes and life’s, she longs to be part of it as well, but instead of feeling hopeless, she feels human rage.

I discovered the original through this and they are both SO GOOD!!! One is full of yearning and this sense of wandering, the other is sadness and frustration. Beautiful how a simple voice can change so much and yet be just as amazing

[@phoenixfire8750]

This song with your voice gives me goosebumps! Your voice is so angelic. Wonderful job, Anna! ❤

[@urkittenmew]

This was really chilling I love what you've done with the song. Also your range is impressive

[@nathanseper8738]

This was so haunting and beautiful! Anna's range for singing is just incredible!

[@maahipraveen9775]

My red flag is thinking I could easily sing this

[@PL4Y3R_0N3]

And as an alto😭🙏

[@purplebutterflyinundertale6355]

At one point I probably could if I ever started singing again it's a possibility. But I'd need help I can never seem to warm up right

[@purplebutterflyinundertale6355]

I used to be an alto but got up to a soprano after a few years. don't be discouraged you can get there one day I'm sure.

[@elise.ch4nn]

I could do the high pitches but my voice isn’t like perfect , it’s very shaky so it wouldn’t sound good

[@darthsparkles551]

IM SO GLAD THIS MUSICAL IS GETTING POPULAR THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE COVER

[@froggytown2024]

sometimes i feel like people dont know how hard it is to hit the notes you somehow do and your breathing is amazing plus you have a perfect range well done ^-^

[@Bubblefairy03]

I got to see this live and I was literally sitting in my seat thinking about how much I'd love you to cover this. It's even better than I imagined.

[@mattbriddell9246]

The irony of a song needing so much "head voice" for a character that doesn't have a head :D Absolutely amazing rendition!

[@Sora_di_Angelo]

This in combination with a walk through an lonly path sorroundet by trees while it's about to rain and already hearing the thunder is just amazing

[@KnowingApex]

i remember watching the OG cast when this song came on. I got chills, but this cover managed to give me so much serotonin. you truly did a remarkable job with this. i love this musical so much, and now i will only be able to listen to this cover from now on. i love love love how your voice floats, almost reflecting how she floats in the song :))

[@rintella9169]

Genuinely get blown away every time I come back to this cover...which is like every few days. Your voice is so powerful and full of emotion, you're incredi Anna 💖

[@marianabruin8092]

ive had this in my head for so long, its like you're a mindreader!! you always make the BEST covers, I LOVE YOU!

[@lavapug]

Fun fact: If you watch the recording of this song in the musical you see Jane gets attached to a flying machine and gets spun around once, then flips upside down and stays there for a few seconds. This represents the two loops of the roller coaster and how the second one was never completed.

[@blood.svckerr]

I used to be in ur server, I was called Victor/Vincent, and I always sung cavetown songs. Over time, jane doe became a HUGE comfort and a character I could use to project as how i felt in the world. I have always loved your work, listening to this as I type, the emotion and passion you put into this is outstanding. I always adore your work

[@keeleybuhler8979]

I just found out about this musical and I’m so glad I did, it’s a story that needs to be heard and seen on stage

[@alvahmara7548]

I'm usually at awe with any song you sing but I must say this song is a whole new level! The head voice? Perfect! The ability to sing a song like this and deliver it so well is just "mwah!" As a person who needs to practice her head voice, this is just so inspiring and amazing. Thank you for this.

[@rowanzzzz]

2:48 literal chills, i love this cover so much oh my god-

[@ACEATTORNEYANDMHABRAINROT]

Also I love the line "just John and me" since it refers to John Doe, obviously, but it also seems to refer to John the Baptist (a priest that got beheaded), but - in a way - it can also refer to Ezra Lamb, her brother from Legoland, if we assume that Jane can remember little bits and pieces of her life, - and that Legoland is set before the events of, and connected to RTC - we could assume that she remembers having a brother, but *_not_* her brothers name.

[@loser_geek_weebever2807]

I loooove how you made the music seem more like a carnival its so fun and creepy love your covers as always!!!

[@thatisntverycombefair]

im currently hyperfixating on ride the cyclone and can i just say im obsessed with this cover you've captured the beauty and melachonic feeling of the orginial perfectly kudos to you!!

[@lupuslick]

​@@OwlFreakslook up "ride the cyclone slime tutorial" on youtube (:

[@spleens4200]

I love it so much, I always felt the operatic tone of a song fits voices as rich as yours, and I believe this proves it!

[@kennethhummel4409]

This one brought tears to my eyes, This sad but beautiful piece. You were magnificent with how your voice changed its range so quickly and so high to so low.

[@leannarose9705]

I was just listening to 'The Ballad of Jane Doe', and all of a sudden, I get the notification that Annapantsu covered 'The Ballad of Jane Doe'. Crazy how the universe works.

[@commicjester2015]

if you liked this i definitely recommend listening to or watching the whole show! it’s very entertaining, has a nice message, and in my opinion none of the songs are bad, in fact they’re all really good! one song i think would be perfect for you to cover is “what the world needs” from this show :D

[@kyyyl__]

Where can i see the full show?

[@commicjester2015]

@@kyyyl__ there’s a few bootlegs online if you look, or you could listen to the soundtrack through. i definitely recommend finding a bootleg though because the soundtrack makes zero sense without context

[@kyyyl__]

@@commicjester2015 ill try, thx!!

[@khloeewatson568]

Your uploads are the highlight of my week❤️‍🔥🙏Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece! Your an inspiration!

[@rintella9169]

I've no words, this is absolutely enchanting. I hope when you're famous and on Broadway (or doing whatever else it is your heart desires) you'll still upload to this channel when you find the time. Your covers have been helping me get through the week, they always improve my mood 🥺🥰

[@peridotunofficial]

I love at 2:50 instead of sounding confused and hopeless like in the original she sounds more angry and confused, beautiful cover

[@20_natural_memes64]

This was one of the best covers i've heard, your voice is beautiful
