Karliene - The Dawn

[@b.r.52]

A ray of hope for the wounded souls who've survived a night filled with fear and anxiety. Always love your songs and been a follower since the LotR songs.

[@hmsmith1790]

I've survived countless nights filled to the brim with fear and anxiety, because I unfortunately suffer from Anxiety/Panic attacks...and your words are like a soothing lullaby🤗thank you

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

I had panic attack so bad i thought i was dying. 😌 I am scared for humanity. I am watching birds fly past trees and feel a sense of peace listening to this masterpiece. 🐦

[@thepryde3438]

This entire EP is absolutely gorgeous and haunting. I adore it so much. I've actually gotten quite strong Hades and Persephone vibes from all of these songs. The Gloom is talking about how Persephone was lost to the Underworld and Hades because her lover at the time failed his promise. Dark Ones is kind of like the Underworld talking to her, trying to claim her and keep her. Disappear is like Hades trying to convince her to stay. Saying she is the light of the Underworld and he doesn't want her to leave. And the Dawn makes me think that it talks of Persephone's visits to Earth with Demeter. But it never lasts, as she must always return to the Gloom, or in this case; the Underworld.

[@Karliene]

I love this new perspective. Are you a fan of the musical 'Hadestown' by any chance?

[@thepryde3438]

@@Karliene I have not heard of Hadestown, however upon looking into it, it seems very interesting. I adore the myths and legends about the Greek Gods and Goddesses

[@FuryOfTheSwarm]

@@Karliene you didn't specifically write this album about persephone? It fits like a glove. Perhaps it was always meant to be.

[@theirgovernor9996]

I will never listen to this the same now. Absolutely love it.

[@DMDonahue]

I am a bit late but that doesn't really make sense if you're going from a purely mythological perspective. Persephone was forced to return to Earth after Demeter's deal with Zues over the half eaten apple. She was very fond of and loved Hades.

[@mentalrebllion1270]

Love this. Adding it to my dnd character’s playlist. I have been having them always up at dawn to watch the sunrise each morning they can. This ritual is on purpose as their late fiancé always loved watching it rise too. My character made a promise to themselves to see as many sunrises as they can with their fiancé sword by their side as they can. They want to continue to convey their lover’s legacy to the world, which was a very optimistic and idealist view, and the positive influence this had on them. This song feels like those moments I put together for this character. It’s a small thing but it’s something I felt my character would do as a form of their grief. Which is the entire point of this character, their story is supposed to be one about learning to live with the grief and still going on with you life. Not forgetting or neglecting, remembering, but also not letting the past weigh you down. And that’s why the sunrise symbolism is so important for me in doing this. Anyway! Thanks for the song!

[@yi-hira]

I love Karliene's soft voice. Also, how the heck can anyone dislike her videos?? Seriously, she sings from the bottom of her heart, even in covers of other's songs.

[@drop_of_honey1839]

Yeah she inspires us all in ways but some people just don't like it I think that's sad because my whole family loves it

[@NevG27]

Having dislikes this early is a sign you've made it as a KZbinr. It means you're big enough to have haters 😉

[@yi-hira]

@@NevG27 And I oop. I seriously don't see how that's something to be proud of, my friend.

[@NevG27]

@@yi-hira well here's the thing. The world is always going to be full of people who irrationally hate things, or dislike for the hell of it. When you're a smaller channel you don't attract those people, but when you get larger... I think it's a badge of honour tbh

[@yi-hira]

@@NevG27 That's a weird way to see it. I might be small, but I piss people off just by existing.

[@RosseRue]

There are three main themes for me in this one. Someone winning a battle with depression and realising it for the first time/imagining what that day will be like, then two less meaningful ones, haha. It makes me think of Narnia and Lotr. The woman is walking in a lonely wood, a little cold, watching the horizon where the morning sun should be coming up. But there is nothing there, besides the usual flat brown sky. She imagines the warmth of the sun, its light and comfort washing over the world and bringing all those lost souls back. But in her heart, the woman knows it is wishful thinking. The world will not be saved for some time yet. However, she would like to be there when it is, even if that is her last day. She wants to know what it's like to have the sun on her skin after years in darkness. _______________________________ You know, these songs have done wonders for my motivation to write. And the world they conjure up in my minds-eye is a very interesting one! The art also helps, it's beautiful :) I will definitely be making an up to date writing playlist now :3

[@anthonywynter1520]

You probably won't see this but karliene your songs and serene voice saved me from darkness through you I've seen dawn come . Thank you so much for all that you do ❤️

[@Karliene]

Anthony Wynter Thank you so much Anthony. I do read and appreciate all my comments, especially ones like this. I’m so happy my little song was of some comfort to you and helped you through some dark days. Keep fighting on. There’s always a new day to look forward to. X

[@North603]

Hello Karliene! I know I am late, but I wanted to thank you for this song! I always sang this song for my heart horse Kami. He died today (5.3.2024) and I am heartbroken. He was my reason to keep living. This song brought me peace and reminded me of him. All I have of him now is a bridle and saddle and lots of memories. Thank you for writing this song! It means so much to me!❤🧡💜

[@equusheart3344]

You know I can't help thinking that you had these last few songs come out in almost perfect order, intentional or not. The last three tell of haunting darkness and despair and then there's this one, the dawn. For the darkness part of night comes just before dawn.

[@hannahvanschoyck7240]

Request: Faun song (narnian lullabie mr Tomnus plays to Lucy.

[@Karliene]

That's a good one. I love the Narnia soundtrack.

[@gungnirjoseph5609]

Aye but if we be doing requests id say the Irish Diddy of Andros haven't heard one with actual lyrics yet Eluveitie and Faun did awesome but that's mainly instrumental

[@kiranm8569]

We live in darkness, waiting for the sunrise to break the eternal night. But when it does we are blinded by its majesty and splendor. So to the darkness we return, the idea of the light that we cannot see a torch to light our path.

[@alessandraf.4319]

It's soom to be dawn here, and this coudn't have come in better time... It's beautiful, marvelous... So emotional, I always feel so free as well...

[@pinkmochi1758]

You're voice is absolutely breathtaking and it calms me so much every time, and certainly in this situation were in now. Thank you, you inspire me to keep singing.💕🎶

[@welcometodmitrysworld]

[@amandacassidy4957]

I love to come back to this song every once in a while and have heard it for the hundreth or so time today. But only now that I have all your songs on shuffle I realised how amazingly well this song would fit into the Anne Bonny storyline right after "blow high, blow low"... it just... fits in perfectly with all the little things including the sea awaiting her as well as the longing to be free yet being bound to the place she is at.

[@aniprodanova6961]

Love the haunting melody!

[@dudapesenti9852]

The dawn breaks my heart 😢 so haunting

[@loreniaruiz964]

This past week I'd been struggling to find the right music to write this semester's final essays. Today I found "The Gloom" and now I'm able to concentrate in my duty. So I would like to take a couple of minutes to thank you for your music. You have a new follower. Greetings from Mexico!

[@IvaMoor]

Dear Karliene, you outdid yourself with these songs. I got the depression vibes from the lyrics from the get go and unfortunately could not listen to the other songs completely so far because they hit a little too close to home (depression sucks), but these songs are so hauting and it's amazing and wonderful how you created something so beautiful out of your pain. This one especially is such a beam of light, it's hopeful and made my heart a little lighter. Thank you for creating such amazing pieces, but please don't feel pressured to create. You are perfect and wonderful the way you are. Lots of love

[@theteawitch965]

Just came across this EP and I absolutely love it. I love your style in music. One of a kind 🖤

[@rosewhite3074]

BRAVA Karliene! This album brought me to such tears, spoke to my soul, and this beautiful conclusion is just...wow. You always speak to my heart with your music but this album broke me and put me back together. It's everything I, and I think many others, are feeling right now, and I truly believe the dawn will come to us all.

[@KhemaySekhmet]

So many emotions welling up, perhaps it is the glass of wine ... perhaps it is just me ... It calls me, oh, it calls me... the world is waiting there for me... if only, if only, the dawn breaks through the trees, it never breaks for me... and all I have is this dream." When words can touch you so deeply, and make such a profound impact on you .. There are no real words to express, how it touched me. Thank You

[@Kathychis]

I'd give anything to be my hands on sheet music for this song. So beautiful.

[@paulmccormick6986]

This is incredibly beautiful! I love that you sang this through only once, as if you did not care to repeat any part of it. Then finished with a long and beautiful, wordless lament for the dawn with just your wordless voice, your piano and Roxane’s cello. The final solo note, (the highest note on your piano?), was perfect!

[@SuperSinsir]

beautiful once again

[@noirxlle]

Okay, so I listened to the whole thing and came up with a story. *The Gloom* is the beginning, about a woman who lives alone in a haunted forest, cursed by dark magic and feared and forgotten. *The Dark Ones* could be a flashback, about how the dark magic and demons used to call to her, how they promised her power and love. *Disappear* is also a flashback, about her last lover before she was taken fully by the darkness, about how she longed for him and that he was her only hope. *The Dawn* is the ending, about how the darkness finallly releases it's hold on her, and sets her free, and how she tries to get used to the beautiful world again.
