Destiny and Dead People Tea - Critical Role LoFi

[@jdatallah1284]

“Do you believe in destiny?” “No, but-“ “But you dream about islands and you go to them.” i don’t know why that’s such a powerful line for me and i’m so happy you included it because it captures who Caduceus is at a base level: a believer. And a believer is exactly what the mighty nein needed when he came. Taliesin is just full of powerful quotes.

[@rayplays7498]

"people need things to live." i just love that quote because of their reactions xD

Sad Wizard Vibes was tragic and philosophical. Dicks 'n Donuts was bouncy, fun, occasionally introspective, and funky. Fathoms and Refjorged were dark, brooding, redemptive, and heroic. THIS album, right here, is simply gorgeous. Speaks of a wisdom most of us can only dream of. Well done, sir.

Well if by 'drinking' we mean consuming and 'tea' we mean the 'fruits of labor' aren't we all

[@cyrusnadia1623]

@@Avendesora perhaps 'taking part in' is a better translation. Drinking dead people tea = taking part in the labor, experience, knowledge, etc. of those who have passed. A 'standing on the backs of giants' sort of thing, but a more spiritual approach. At least that's how I like to think of that line

[@Golemkind]

I woke up this morning after a dream where I was a groundskeeper at a graveyard, just walking around humming in the autumn breeze. I had been doing this for a while I think, mowing the grounds and such some days-but today I was setting out a flower on every grave that I grew in a garden. Anyway, waking up from that and then listening to this album for the first time all the way through with a cup of tea in my hands was soothing as hell and put me at peace.

[@DeadNotSleeping789]

I put this on and ended up meditating??? I don't usually do that but this music is so calming I found myself putting down what I was doing and deciding to just stop overthinking things for a little bit

[@blutwulf666]

I don't even have words for the total emotional purge that I just went through. As a Boomer, identifying male, stoicism is bred in and I just spent an hour leaking from my eyes. Autumn, you did this to me. And I love you for it. Just...thanks, and...more, please.

[@AuraSight]

This album came out just as I was coming out of a 4-year depression. It's been painful, but I want you to know that this music has genuinely helped me heal. Thank you.

[@s.ken.9287]

First five seconds and I'm crying from the beauty of the music. Caduceus has been the member of the mighty nine I relate to fully. Being away from home and family and living next to a grave yard most of my life. And having clerical background and foregrounds. Thank you so much for the wonderful music. I'm gonna be listening to this when I go on my road trip in 2 weeks from now, when I head to my blooming grove(Home).

Awesome, like all the other CR albums. But one request: can you add custom captions? KZbin's algorithm is not great at auto-captioning lofi voices. The lines you've chosen to weave into the beat are so integral to understanding the story being told, captions would help tell that story.

"I am a maker of fine graves" goes so unintentionally hard. I was never a big fan of Taliesin's characters, but he came in with Caduceus and changed my life. Possibly my favorite character in the entire show.

I think I really needed this- I'm going through a pretty tough time right now and Critical Role (and dnd in general) has really been helping me. And Caduceus and his good, chill vibes have been a major help- this Playlist embodies him so perfectly- his loneliness and his wisdom, his kindness and relaxed nature. Thank you so much- I didn't realize how much I needed this until I listened to it, but ever since I found it I've listened to it every day at least once.

My favorite thing about your songs has been how well you pair your music with the dialogue selections, but I'm just starting to listen to this and I ADORE "Just a Pause." It feels like it's really giving me a moment to just relax and take in the quiet atmosphere before anything else. It feels so in step with the character of Caduceus! What an absolutely perfect and lovely way to start! Can't wait to listen to the rest!

Dead people has to be my favorite thus far, I'm loving the way you use the tapping of the spoon and the pouring of tea as acoustics, as a lover of tea myself, this is such a nice relaxing song, and the subtle static in the background of the whole thing is such a nice touch :)

Thank you for sharing your art with the world!

[@DungeonsandRoses]

Chilled vibes, a relaxed attitude, kindness with just the slightest hint of menace. That describes this album as much as it does Caduceus himself, I think. Loving it!

[@nicholasholcomb7400]

As a jazz musician and hip hop producer, I love your skill and maturity of sound that is demonstrated. The fact that you cohesively tied up the entire vibe and theme of clay in each instrumental is amazing. I also love the hints of samurai champloo that this shows. As a massive critter, and Clay being my favorite PC of Critical Role this hits the spot in a way I truly needed for a long time. That new Isaiah Rashaad just came out, and I’m gonna be bumping this right next to it. Amazing job truly

[@derickpelton3107]

Someone mentioned in the comments they would have loved to have captions that show who says what to follow the story along. So in case anyone had trouble -- and because I've listened to this a lot -- here you go. Lines are separated in groups as they appear. Hope this helps! Track 1 -- No samples Track 2 -- (1st) Caduceus: Hunh. I think I've only got...three more cups, hold on. (2nd) Caduceus: Uh...Mr. Clay and uh...nah, I'm fine. (3rd) Caduceus: (sigh) ...that sounds great. (4th) Nila: I would love to try your tea! Caduceus: Please, let me know what you think. Nila: ...it is delicious! Caduceus: Only grows here. We've been tending this garden for generations. Beau: You're drinking dead people tea? Caduceus: Aren't we all? Beau/Caleb/Keg: That's a fair point/very true/(murmuring) Beau: But you're like, cultivating dead people for good tea? Caduceus: Aren't we all? (5th) Caduceus: (sigh) Please, let me know what I can do for you...I..usually when people come here it is because of some great tragedy; how may I aleve your pain? Caleb: Oh well, Herr Clay, we come to you with a great tragedy. Nott: We, we recently lost one of our friends and we are-- Caduceus: People who come here usually have. Nott: We, we aren't here to bury him; um he's already in the ground. But we've, we've come to avenge him and we're hoping to find some, some help (help help help) Track 3 -- (1st) Caduceus: Yeah, uh, this is, this is a place where we take the dearly departed people who have done well and people who have lived good lives and we put them into earth that has been touched by the Wildmother and in turn She grants them what beauty and splendor and sometimes tea. (2nd) Nott: Are you a bad guy? Caduceus: You know, honestly I don't think I've really had enough experience to have an opinion on that. I'm a good gardener. Nott: What do you grow other than dead tea? Caduceus: I grow lilies, I grow uh mushrooms, moss. Beau (in the background) Dead mushrooms. Dead moss. (3rd) Caduceus: Yeah. (4th) Keg: You don't leave here very much, do you? Caduceus: I...It's been a while, I wasn't uh...I've been on my on my own for a while, it makes you get a little bit..uh, rambly. (5th) Caduceus: Have you been in nature? Yes. Violence is extremely natural. (6th) Caduceus: Somewhere there's a plant that...needs some compost and I'm willing to make some, some more, if it'll make people happy.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Track 4 -- (1st) Caduceus: I'm ready to leave. I'm going to be, it's going to be a little uh a little much, but I think I can do it. I'm ready. (2nd) Caduceus: Everything's telling me that I should stick around and see where you're headed. I think that's where I'm supposed to be. Track 5 -- Caduceus: This is pretty good from a certain perspective. I mean, uh, you think about it uh, bad things happen to people every day and then you have a bunch of people who care about you so much that they come and save you, fix it, defeat a great evil. I mean, nothing this good ever happens. This is great! Track 6 -- (1st) Caduceus: I mean really? I mean, people aren't good. That's that's not how this works. (a little laugh) I mean, the things that you DO are good or bad, but people are just people. (2nd) Caduceus: People come and they talk. A lot. Fjord: When they're grievin'. Caduceus: Yeah. And you listen a lot. I don't know much, but I know people. And I know things that aren't people. There's a lot more apparently and uh... Fjord: You seem to pick up on the stuff that's not set. Caduceus: I mean, you have to. Track 7 -- (1st) Matt as DM: There, not yet removed from the cross, whether it be by luck or superstition, there is the white snow dappled multicolored coat of Mollymauk Tealeaf. (2nd) Caduceus: May I? (pause) Something will be here. Beau (tearfully): What did you just do? Caduceus: I made the earth remember him. (3rd) Caduceus: Something will be here. Track 8 -- Caduceus: It's more than a thank you. I feel that you have to be free. So that you can finally pay your debt. NPC Gustav: (uneasy laugh) I uh this is me paying my debt. Caduceus: No. This is you hiding from your debt. You're a man who uh is afraid of what you owe. I understand. That's, that's okay. This is not your debt; your debt lies elsewhere. I know these things. Track 9 -- (1st) Caduceus: I think perhaps it's destiny. Do you believe in destiny? Yasha: No. But-- Caduceus: But you dream about islands and you go to them. (2nd) Yasha: Well, they just come in my dreams as most of my visions have and (uneasy sigh) it's just... the way that I commune with the Stormlord. Caduceus: Hunh. I suppose that the Stormlord put you on this path and you're with us now because of some divine intervention. I think it's important to follow one's feelings on such things. I commend you.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Track 10 -- (1st) Fjord: So maybe some supplies? Jester: Mmhmm. Fjord: Something to buff us up a bit. Jester: Some bees! Fjord: Some...bees? Yep. Caduceus: I think some bees would suit you. Jester: I just really want to see them. Caduceus: You can talk to them. Jester: I really want to talk to them. Caduceus: I've talked to many bees in my time. Jester: Really? Caduceus: Yeah. Jester: You can teach me the language? Caduceus: I mean, I mean you just just...hey bees. (2nd) Jester (lowering voice): Hello bees. Please come over here and let me say hello! (3rd) Yasha (deadpan): Hello bees! Jester (delighted): Hello bees! Matt: (gentle laughter in background) Jester: (giggling) Yasha: You can talk to them? Jester: Yeah, say something! Caduceus: Uh...what do you want me to say to them, I don't know. Jester: Come tell them to come over here, but don't sting us. Caduceus: Hold on hold on, let me do a thing. Track 11 -- (1st) Caduceus: I think uh... I'm coming to the realization that uh perhaps I was not entirely clear of what I signed up for. But ...I don't think that means that it's the wrong path. I'm uh...I'm getting used to the idea that this is...it wouldn't be a test if it were easy. (2nd) Caleb: So...is it your intention to continue on with us? Caduceus: I...I joined your group of friends, I guess our group of friends now. Uh...as a testament of faith and it would be a...a disservice to that faith to turn around because it's hard. If it'd been easy and... (3rd) Caduceus: I suppose I wouldn't needed to..uh.. to be called to it. I, um...I've been thinking a lot about it, uh...Jester gave me a lot to think about, to be honest. Caleb: Well, you know that sometimes acts of good faith deserve to be rewarded when they can. Um, I wanted to give something to make your uh time with us a little bit easier, I suppose. Track 12 -- (1st) Caduceus: Mr. Caleb, I uh...do you believe in fate? Caleb: I would like to think not (not not not) (2nd) Caduceus: Uh...I think the world is shaping you into something important and I want to make sure you get to wherever you need to be. (short musical bridge) Caleb: That's a pretty big matzo ball. (3rd) Caduceus: Even when I'm not the best of people, I feel that you're still moving toward something that's good and worth while and I'm feeling the struggles in my way to bring us to where we need to be. (4th) Caleb: Welcome to the Nein. Caduceus: I'm honored.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Track 13 -- Caduceus: I serve nature and I'm a maker of fine graves. Track 14 -- (1st) Jester: Hey Fjord. Fjord: Hmm? Jester: There's a ghost (ghost ghost ghost) Fjord: Where? (where where where) Jester: There. Fjord: Nope, no, that is a humanoid jellyfish. Jester: It's really pretty. Keep your eyes forwaaaaard. Caduceus: It's so sad. Beau: Why? (why why why?) Caduceus: It's just out here unconnected. It's sad to be unconnected. I wish we could do something. (2nd) Caduceus: What happened here? NPC: Do you not know the history of this land? Caduceus: Not this part of the history, no. Track 15 -- (1st) (indistinct group chatter) Taliesin: I also, I want to check for vibes. Matt: For vibes? Taliesin: For vibes. Sam: Detect vibes? Taliesin: Detect vibes, I want to Lebowski this place. Travis: Do you walk into a room and know where people have had sex? (2nd) Caduceus: That's nice. (3rd) Caduceus: It smells weird. I really like it. Track 16 -- (1st) Caduceus: There is more than one way to honor the body of a hero. There's a place where you can burn the remains to an ash and something unusual springs forth. (2nd) Caduceus: Everything that is made there will hold a hero's mark in this kiln of creations as a gift to the All Hammer to remind him that nature is the origin of the material. Somewhere there is a temple of the Dust in the north, ready to help.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

Track 17 -- Giant NPC: You have a heart that pierces truth. Never ignore your instincts. Your companions are lucky to have you. For most are lost in a crazy world of dreams... (short musical bridge) Giant NPC: ...without someone to wake them. Caduceus: Thank you for your wisdom. Track 18 -- No samples Track 19 -- (1st) (voice slowed down) Caduceus: We're running; it's bad! (2nd) Caduceus: The kiln...(kiln kiln kiln) Beau: Hmmm? Caduceus: We need to go to the kiln. It's uh...it's in the mountains near here. It's not a temple to the Wildmother, but it was a gift. A gift to the All Hammer. Beau: Right. Caduceus: We're all...all of us are gifts Fjord: Is it something that can help in this situation? Caduceus: It's where She's been pushing me. Track 20 -- No samples Track 21 -- (1st) Caduceus: Uh, we're supposed to protect that place and I was running out of ideas. Fjord: You said "we"? Caduceus: My family. Fjord: How many of them are there? Caduceus: Oh, lots, but uh, I mean depending on when and where. We built the temple, we founded it. Jester: And your family is still there now? Caduceus: No, they uh, they all left. Beau: You said also to look for answers though, right? Caduceus: Yeah. Beau: They just left first? Caduceus: Yeah...and none of them have come back. (2nd) Beau: Do you have any idea which direction where they were heading? Caduceus: Uh (long sigh) Not really. Beau: I mean, you, you can speak to the Wildmother. You've checked in on a few of our friends. Do you ever check in on them? See what the Wildmother tells you? Caduceus: I feel like She would let me know if I needed to know. And that's not an answer I really want the...it's not an answer I'm looking for right now. Beau: Okay Caduceus: I'm sure you understand. Beau: I do. Caduceus: Best to have faith (faith faith) and not second guess how She has decided to move forward. If I recall, Corrine talked about trying to find some of the other, some of the other uh temples but I don't know. (3rd) Caduceus: No one's come back and when you came around, it seemed like I had an inkling that it was supposed to be my job to do this from the beginning and I that had been shirking my duties. And you all seemed like a very good sign that it was time to (sigh) take some responsibility. I think I got it all? Hopefully. There are one or two words that were legit hard for me to understand, but I think it all makes sense.

You're nothing short of incredible, thank you

[@jackcrowley2640]

Honestly caddy is the most lofi of the m9 and this comp is just so HIM

[@redwood34]

Ohhh I had been waiting for this album ever since Dead People Tea came out, I'm sad KZbin didn't notify me sooner and I only saw it three months after it's airing. Either way, it's so nice to finally have the full album. So calming.

[@1rainbowstrike426]

AAAAAAA YES A NEW ALBUM!!!!! I listen to the rest of your stuff almost everyday and I’m so glad I get to add this to my daily chill out and study sesh^^ Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into all of your content!!

[@hunterduncan1078]

Goddamn, listening to this just made me want to make a cup of tea and go sit out in the woods next to my house, and just listen to the sounds of the forest. The chirping birds, the crunch of leaves as animals walk by, the whisper of the wind through the treetops, and the coolness of that same breeze caressing my face. It was beautiful.

I love all of the Critical Role LoFi Autumn Orange has made, however I find myself continuously coming back to this album. I've been going through some really rough times of my dad being critically ill in the hospital and the future is unknown. Caduceus' voice and wisdom along with your lovely music accompanying it has really helped still my mind and keep focused on the present. So thank you for creating such an inspirational piece. You have no idea how much your music has helped me

[@katiehetherington9485]

My favourite so far! The crackly background noise is just amazing.

[@WorgenGrrl]

I love this Album cover! Getting Uncle Iroh vibes (wipes away a tear). Another masterful creation! Caduceus is the embodyment of Chill and you nailed it.

[@emilyemerz4799]

Just what my cleric ordered: a cup a tea and some pastel sounds to mellow out to!

[@publishedsorrow3066]

Thanks Orange! Been looking forward to this. The way Taliesin voices Caduceus lends itself very well to this music

[@mitchfowler9049]

There are few times you get to see a music creator evolve over time to become better and better. Each album and music piece you put out somehow gets better and better. It's been a joy to watch and listen from afar. Great album, as always!

[@artemiscloud1]

I'm just going to say "I made the Earth remember him" could either be really nice or a real threat. Depending on inflection and intention. I want to say that to someone after a fight or something lol.

[@Medieval_Milkman]

I'm not even a minute in and I'm more relaxed now than I've been in a very long time. Thanks for this one Autumn, it's more stellar work!

[@Oskar42]

This is my absolute favourite lo-fi mix of 2021, if not ever. I still listen to it all the time when i want to chill/vibe/focus. Thank you so much for making it!

[@luxior8375]

First, it was Fathoms that I was listening to while writing my campaign, now it's this. You have some of the best lofi music I've heard on this site and the fact that you make lofi out of Critical Role is awesome. Keep up the amazing work, I'm excited for whatever you're putting out next!

[@MsYunaFires]

This is amazingly beautiful! I'm barely a quarter of the way through C2, haven't yet met this fantastic character, but this mix is making me look forward to him even more!

[@MsYunaFires]

update. I've met Caduceus and this mix is *too* perfect. all the tea noises, clanking of spoons in the mix, very meditative and gentle, just like the character himself. really helping me get through some tough shit i'm going through.

[@apossessedwarlock-4386]

I don't think you can understand how much this has helped me. Any time I'm stressed I listen to this and without fail it calms me down every time. Thanks, I've listened to this so many times XD

[@jerrybates5140]

I have enjoyed listening to all your work. Has 100 percent improved my mood and helped in relaxing and sleep. Thank you.

[@TigerlilyWarrior]

Seriously, dude, you are so talented! I hope we can continue to touch on these amazing character themes even after campaign 2 has ended. Its so rich with material.

[@derickpelton3107]

Straight up, this lofi is the only thing keeping me calm during some of my panic attacks. They started up last week and won't let up. I just wanted you to know you're helping me so fucking much while I'm scared and alone.

[@autumnorange613]

Honored and at a loss for words, thank you for sharing, keep your head up 🧡🎶

[@bri4935]

I can finally stop holding my breath, Autumn Orange is here! Now...who's next?

[@Mosstrades]

i struggle with fear and paralysis when it comes to getting work done, and sitting down to do so with this in the bg always helps alleviate that anxiety and make it a more enjoyable process. lovely work! caduceus is such an important character for me and you captured him very nicely

[@andromeda5069]

Caduceus' wisdom is so inspiring to me and kinda helped me develop my own philosophy and they way you've put these amazing lines in and fit them so perfectly with the music just... ugh I love it so much

[@Ossum123]

Oh man, I was wondering when this was going to drop. Fantastic work as always.

[@heathercampbell4245]

I keep coming back to this one for chill out music. Thank you SO much for posting.

[@jackcrowley2640]

Again, thanks for making this! Tbh want to comment every time I come to this video

[@GaleStrongHammer]

Wonderful! I listened while gardening at night. Just the right kind of vibes.

[@Jacol7777]

Very grateful for the new mix rn. Been doing projects and exams all day for the past 5 days and I have had your albums and the Critical Role Lofi albums on repeat.

[@EmmaIsWriting]

This is so soothing, thanks Autumn Orange. ❤️ Definitely getting added to the relaxation playlist! 'Just a Pause' has SUCH nice Ghibli movie energy.

[@annak.9483]

Man... I had a tough few days and I started listening to this and I could feel my muscles kind of relax and drop some tension immediately. thank you for your incredible work 💖
