=======================
LYRICS:
I’ve got a secret, one I wish I could share
With my hardworking husband, who remains unaware…
I could tell him tonight, but it’s too much to bear-
Timing’s everything…
I’ve got a secret that my wife won’t believe.
My intentions were good, but they served to deceive,
And it all appertains to that cold New Year’s Eve-
Timing’s everything…
Honey, I’m dying to tell you something-
-A secret I need you to know…
But lies are like weeds,
And mine have all started to grow…
I’ve got a secret and there’s no going back.
Now I’ve run out of time and it’s time to attack.
Just get in and get out; keep the mission on track.
Timing’s everything.
I have a secret, but it may have to wait…
I was secretly hoping I could finish your plate…
“It’s police! Open up!” Huh, ten seconds late…
Timing’s everything…
Searching for some kind of answer…
A key to release all my pain…
I’m losing myself,
But all of my lies remain…
I’ve got a secret, and there’s no one to tell.
But this thing that you want, well, I want it as well…
Just a chance to contrive how the chips always fell-
And timing’s everything…
Secrets surround us; the lies we invent…
They were made out of love, for the time that we spent…
And they led to a watch in a dusty old vent…
Cause timing’s everything…
I’ve got a secret that I’d kill you to keep:
That my kid’s been through cancer and the bills have been steep!
That we’re having a baby, but money is tight-
-That watch is my way to get back to that night!
Caught in-a loop of deception!
The puppet cuts off its own string…
Our time has run out
And timing is everything.

I’m so used to seeing Gwen with a knife that it’s so weird to see Aj with one.

[@kirbogoeshard]

It was a real olot twist when he got stabbed by one

[@kaushikmazumder608]

I agree Gwen was the knife wife

[@Ngawai01]

Ik right Gwen is the knife QUEEN!!!

[@anonymousanonymous9587]

No context makes this horrible

[@deathslayer_76]

He actually looks good holding a knife

[@alexthegreat265yt]

I love how this takes place after all the knowledge the player has received, after they know every secret, twist, turn, and even knows where the watch is, which means he knows about the murder and “bumblebee’s” phone number which makes me love this musical even more because of all the details taken straight from the game… other than the bedroom

[@rebeccascowcroft]

This embodies lots of great elements and moments of the game without giving away anything to major, it’s perfect. Amazing song, always great to see Kevin.

[@courtneyparfait2633]

I have a question for you is the gun real ?😲

[@FaysalIsGoated]

The ending of 12 minutes was the NASTIEST and most unexpected plot twist I’ve ever seen in gaming EVER.

[@risingfalcon]

if you considered that nasty then you must not play much horror XD

[@Someone-is4lx]

Nasty af, good thing the real ending actually solves the mc's issues

[@Meh_ykhaa]

Agreed

[@FaysalIsGoated]

@@risingfalcon I play a decent amount. I’ve seen my fair share of disturbing and disgusting things in horror games. But this was on another LEVEL.

[@SparkyDragon]

I think Omori takes the cake for the most depressing plot twist I've ever seen, as far as Nasty goes I'm not sure, I pieced this one together a little bit before it got revealed so it wasn't as big a shock Also depends on your view of the topic (SPOILER ALERT) Inbreeding is illegal/seen as wrong in the first place because it leads to hereditary diseases/disorders emerging, but it's been done throughout history for survival and for political reasons

[@MMajor13]

That was the most intense RE musical I’ve ever seen, damn that was dark. If this is for September, I shiver with terror when thinking about October. Keep up the great work!!!

[@kyrabrown6529]

I have never thought the possibility of someone making a musical or song about this game so I'm excited

[@whothisgamer]

This is Random encounters we're talking about. They would make musicals out of almost every game you could think of.

[@AlexPastGrey]

A family friendly musical at that like that takes some skill man

[@blueturtle3623]

I knew nothing about this game before watching this. I love that absolutely nothing was spoiled, because it looks like the entire thing if you don't know all the actual twists. I also love that the ending was essentially "This is dark, throw Nate in there for a minute"

[@emmap.7226]

THE ACTING!!!!!!! I've seen a lot of amazing performances on RE, but this is BY FAR my favorite. Awesome job, y'all!!

[@user-fg5nc4kr4j]

The fact that Gwen and AJ swapped Physco-Level scares me- Also this musical is incredible (Like every other) and the plot twist just like- And ya'll are so sweet apart from keeping Gwen away from her knives.

This was such a good retelling of the weird, twisted, sometimes unclear story of twelve minutes. And I love how you never experience the husband’s time traveling like in the game, so he seems more experienced in his… experience I guess lol. “Police, open up!” “Ten seconds late…”. All the little references and Easter eggs, this is one of your best musicals, in my opinion.

[@tacticalnic6202]

This and Phasmaphobia are definitely your most serious songs you guys am have done and I love them both! 💜

[@rachelong3755]

I think Finding Mr. Midnight is a pretty fierce contender as well! It even contains a comparable amount of fake blood, lol

[@imdumbbut8915]

Blood and Tears is pretty serious

[@yunaneomi]

This is the most serious one since Fran Bow.

Bumblebee to the music: I’ve got a secret are you sure it can wait? My dad has gone off on some kind of date. I toss and I turn hoping that he’ll return, timings everything.

I applaud you for yet another amazing musical. The quality not just in the videography but the singing is going up every single video. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@DenderFriend]

I loved this, now I'm just waiting for how more or less dark the Deltarune musical will be, assuming they reference that "Weird Route"

[@Candy_Mandy]

i love how the main character sings background vocals for every other character thats in the room with him, like he knows all their songs after hearing them so many times

[@LiScho234]

Great musical as always When you said you would make a 12 Minutes musical I didn´t know how you would do that but you once again proved that you can do pretty much everything

[@braree0813]

2:35 THE “EVERYTHING” ITS SO DIFFERENT HERE I LOVE IT ITS JUST AAAHHH

[@Unkn0wn4200]

Playing the game really gives you that gut-wrench feeling knowing how this begins and ends, the way you can pick up the hidden meanings through the lyrics for those who know what happen is honestly genius.

[@glyphicgames7591]

And once AJ is shot, and he shoots the “cop”, it becomes the scene from the beginning, causing a loop of sorts. They pulled a sneaky on us

[@jackferfag9862]

That was the point

[@theoryboss7351]

So they did...

[@imdumbbut8915]

Nice, you figured out the plot!

[@nicolerobertson2654]

That's the whole bit of the game. A seemingly endless time loop. A Groundhog day situation, you might say

The production level on these musicals are insane! This deserves millions of views! Great job!

[@minimejj]

Aah, I love this game! It’s.. really.. weird.. but you guys nailed it perfectly! Have we gotten an “I expect you to die” musical? That one would be cool!

Been a fan of the channel for years, love all of the musicals you've done, and love how the production quality seems to go up every single one thats made. its lovely to see.

[@StarWyvernHPB]

Yeah, i'd assume you could probably find the character in a older musical/project of theres, (i don't recognise the character, so if a musical, one of the few i haven't watched) i'm sure someone else in the comments mention it. Also i'm guessing you meant to comment on the video itself rather then reply to mine?, unless it was a question about Who Nate was supposed to be, in which case, Sorry i can't be more helpful.

[@CBLOfficial]

My brain while the officer shows up to find the watch: Hey, what if this world and the world from Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes the Musical were connected. Me: Wait- Hold up, then why would he go on a mission to Gwen's house?! Why is he not still on the bomb squad?! You can just leave me here with so many loose ends! My brain: Just did. Toodles!

Hi Random Encounters, I know the chances are you may not even read this with hundreds of other comments, but I just wanted to thank you for how much of an impact you've made on my life. The first musical I saw from you was Legend of Ganondorf back in, what, 2011? I've been a fan ever since. You helped me bond with my friends in high school and were easily my favorite channel back then. I remember us recording entries for the "Be the Beard" contest (or something like that?) and trying to catch your monthly livestreams. I remember your brony songs which, while they make me cringe now lol, they're incredibly nostalgic and helped contribute to my own mlp love at the time. I remember waiting forever hoping to see a Splatoon musical, too. And how excited I was at the Resident Enis sequel -- still love those two songs lol. They're so fun and silly and just the epitome of your wonderful brand of humor. Oh god, and you introduced me to Rhythm Thief! Thank you, it's my favorite 3DS game and I never would have tried it without your fantastic musical! Anyway, I still check in every few months and your quality has never once dwindled -- although I really don't think anything will ever surpass the Magikarp Song in my mind lol. What a classic. (My fave musically though is the Medic TF2 song though, or maybe Hello Neighbor!) Anyway, to this day I can still belt out Singachu, O Metaknight, and probably a solid dozen more. Can't believe it's been 10 years. Thank you for continuing this to this day and I will be here waiting for more!!

[@Nefenjo]

I remember that "Be The Beard" contest! I didn't submit anything, but I do have a friend from high school who can do the perfect "Ooogh!" without even trying.

This is 100% the best comment I've seen all day. Thank you so much for both coming back to us over and over, and also for your kindness in taking the time to tell us this! I haven't shown this to either of the guys yet - they're hard at work on the bloopers right now - but when I do, it's going to make their day. So glad that you're still here, and that we're still making things that make you smile (though I agree - The Magikarp Song will NEVER be outdone). - Gwen
