Storms Boon- Yasha's Theme- The Rise Undaunted

[@Irishman2332]

3:50 Ashley: "I, would like to... RAGE."

Travis, Like a Proud Dad yelling "HELL YEAH!"

[@spacecat278]

[@joshkorte9020]

If you were to do a Shakaste theme it should be smooth jazz.

[@thedemonunderbeds9361]

Josh Korte yas, can dis be dunnnnnnnnn pwease

[@liamsan7857]

yes omg we need one

[@WolvzReign]

Add in some funk and I’m sold.

[@luckyzeguro6009]

I haven't thought about that, damn you....now I really want a shakaste theme. XD

[@gung-hopotato37]

I'd even say... Cowboy Bebop Jazz??? *wink

[@msflaredragon]

Ever since Kiri has been introduced and her music box, I would think it would be more than just adorable to have a little medley that would be her music box. Like her theme, childish and innocent while having that somber tone to it as some music boxes do. Especially after hearing this amazing piece, I would love to see your take on something far less dramatic and holding that childish tone that only Jester could possibly hold in the part. So if there is a poll, I definitely would love to see a Kiri theme!

[@theriseundaunted1690]

holy ravioli so many ideas! i had never really considered doing a kiri theme (probably because there was that episode where matt played a music box melody for kiri) but now i have ideas and may wanna give it a shot!

[@ashleycook300]

@@theriseundaunted1690 Aw a Kiri theme would be so cute!! I have definitely subscribed and will be looking forward to all possibilities! ^^

[@plgrn8r683]

I would give SO MUCH for a guest star to be playing an adult Kenku that somehow turns out to be Kiri from the future, who travelled back to meet the people who saved her life.

[@ebonyvoigt7257]

Awww Kiri was a highlight of early C2 for me so I’d love to see this too!

[@Werelord22]

This was Kiri's official music box theme, you can hear it softly playing in the background when she parts ways with the Nein: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nofNdYJtntNlbdU

[@ZenZudokai]

She rose through the throes of death and defeat. She learned to dance in the rain. She learned to strike with all the fury of lightning, and she learned to roar as loud as the thunder. Should you fear the storm, you will fear her, for she *is* that storm. Her name is Yasha. The Blade Of the Storm Lord, and she will be remembered.

[@albedokreideprinz9205]

Nice

[@MisterSmith00]

Heh. I call her "The Edge of the Lightning". "Lightning" for the Storm Lord. ..."the edge" for the goth-style.

[@Starsnine]

With me I carry the strength of a storm and the light of justice. By me all evil will be felled and The Stormlord’s honor will be satisfied.

[@theriseundaunted1690]

can we be friends so you can narrate my life events with your epic words?

[@shadyspot8284]

This was absolutely awesome. I hope Ashley sees this. Maybe for the next one you could do Jester or Molly. Molly's probably a higher priority due to...unfortunate circumstances.

[@theangryanimewatcher4230]

You mean how he ded?

[@misspurrheart]

shhhh, that might be spoilers for some people :"))

[@diablopro3438]

Never thought id hear something like that from the ultimate gang leader....

[@ruki4929]

When Yasha pulls out that necrotic shroud.

[@Phoenix87401]

I love how your music sounds for each character. This sounds very much like how I picture Yasha. If you're doing a poll of who to do next, personally I'd vote for Molly.

[@indianna1549]

Seconded. I'd love to hear one for Molly.

[@tristanking9159]

Phoenix87401 rip mollymauk though but the next piece could be a memorial for him

[@chompy1156]

same hear

[@SirGeoGio13]

It would be cool to hear a transitioning theme for both Molly and Caduceus.

[@Jwilhoftstg]

That would cbo cool

[@Aloemancer]

[@newm0on1234]

The build up from @2:40 to its explosion @3:45. It’s like rage. Bravo!

[@ajaxdonqueso9597]

And yet again you somehow manage to capture the character's softer side while fully embracing how awesome they are. I love the pause in the middle for the rumble of thunder. It made me stop what I was doing and start smirking. And the bagpipes are absolutely wicked. Again, if you could get this to the cast I have no doubt it would get featured. Two thumbs way up.

[@portaljumper339]

So rarely do I hear the pipes used in such a mournful and grave way, but godDAMN did you have chills running down my spine! Do you plan on releasing these songs as an album on iTunes or the like when you've made them all, because I need all of these in my library!

[@theriseundaunted1690]

dearest portaljumper, i love you thank you for listening im going to name my firstborn portaljumper i made an internets where you can download love, TRU

[@DragonKnightJin]

I've listened to all 3 themes you've made so far, and I cannot get over how impressive they are. And how different each one is, fitted to the character they're supposed to be for. The only constant that I've noticed between all 3 is... THEY'RE BLOODY AMAZING! Seriously, you, sir, have *EARNED* my subscription through hard work and skill. I can hardly wait to hear which theme you'll come up with next!

[@theriseundaunted1690]

you know when the grinch's heart grows three sizes? well this comment did that to me. haha thanks my man hope to see you around in the future!

[@madisonalbrecht3104]

I felt like I got struck by lightning when I saw the notification, then I heard the thunder that is this theme - and DAMN! 10/10 would be struck by lightning again!

[@theriseundaunted1690]

bwahhhh! your a hero. thank you that means so much!

[@Adam9172]

Can we just talk about the picture for a minute? How the skeletal wings contrast with the hearty Earth of the rising valley that itself could be vaugely alluded to be wing-like by presentation? The shadows swallowing all around her, ensuring she stays absolutely center focus, illuminated by the raging storm she brings? Absolutely perfect framing and execution by the photographer and model. The song itself is absolutely wonderful, though I would have had a more sorrowful bagpipe solo after the thunder, but not to say this work is any less than fantastic.

[@theriseundaunted1690]

YESSSS im so glad you like the photo! honestly these two gals are amazing. thanks for dropping by, hopefully i can please your ears ever more in the future! haha

[@Adam9172]

Definitely subscribed my freind! :D

[@erikgrundy]

The hurdy-gurdy was an excellent pick. Awesome stuff, man

[@SirWhorshoeMcGee]

Erik Grundy only there's no hurdy gurdy in there. There's bagpipes though.

[@erikgrundy]

On a second listen, I think you might be right. I still think it fits well.

[@steverogers1565]

Chills at 3:23... Amazing work, as usual.

[@theriseundaunted1690]

so glad you liked it cap!

[@fiend-ishh3665]

It started thunderstorming as I listened to this. I really FELT this one. I can see Yasha in it so well, you did an incredible job.

[@AncientSlugThrower]

Me too. Providence!

[@SephirothRyu]

A rain dance? No. It is a song of storms.

[@emmacrisp5926]

no matter how many times i listen to this, i can’t get over how much the violin part that comes in at 3:22 somehow sounds _exactly_ like rain.

[@dialog_box]

given that this one and fjord's theme both feature what sounds like a bagpipe pretty heavily, i like to imagine that these themes were originally composed and performed by orly

[@C3POwnage]

3:53 Lightning percussion was so genius and magical \m/ thank you for this

[@Errrrrrrick]

I just remembered parts of this song in bed, without properly remembering where it was from. I was caught in a loop of thinking "Fuck, it HAS to be Adrien Von Ziegler, right?" You're that good, pal

[@AncientSlugThrower]

Fantastic work as always RISE. You are a true gem of the Critical Role community.

[@rachelmerrill6881]

Ok this was amazing. Possibly my favorite one so far. It has such a unique feel and I love the inclusion of the thunder. I think I'm also going to have to put in my vote for Molly next. (Edited for additional thoughts)

[@BluethunderNo1]

Your work is amazing! I love all of them :D I would love to hear Nott, Jester, Clay, Beau and Molly:D And Maybe a Pumat Sol for Matt :P

[@fishwad2077]

For me, it was super easy to imagine the cathedral scene playing out with this in the background. that was super cool dude, well done

[@kyle21843]

especially when matt describes all of the windows shattering as a surge of energy courses throughout the cathedral. i had to come back and listen to this piece when i watched that episode

[@aaronvess786]

Holy crap! This song is amazing. I could just see Yasha kicking ass to it.

[@smitamishra9341]

I'm here everyday. Listening to this has kind of become part of my routine. What sweet sweet madness this is. Rise. Mate. I know life's busy, things are unpredictable right now. I hope you're safe, sane and healthy. Because I want you to come back soon, and bring more of this magic along with you.

[@FruitH.]

this brought me to tears

[@nikitamalikov6683]

I walk a storm-wrought road The only road that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But what I have now means I'm not alone I walk this rain-drenched street On this boulevard where lightning steams Where the city sleeps But my friends are here, and I'm not alone I'm not alone, I'm not alone I'm not alone, I'm not a My friends are standing beside me The Stormlord speaks to me and guides me I must become an avatar of greatness 'Til then, I'm not alone Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the border line of the edge And where I fall alone Slip between the lines Try to hold on, but I'm out of time Watch in horror as I try to kill my friends And I walk alone I walk alone, I walk alone I walk alone and I walk a The Laughing Hand's the one that walks beside me now My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating now And now I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone Ah ah ah ah ah Ah ah ah ah ah I walk alone, I walk a I walk this empty street On the boulevard of forgotten dreams Where the cities bleed And I'm the only one, and I walk alone My shadow's the only one that walks beside me The demon's caught on something deep inside me Unceasing, wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone

Oh this is! So cool! Epic epic epic epic! MMM this is so good. Really fits Yasha

[@rarazalproductions519]

I just keep being astounded by the quality you put out and the range you have whith these themes. For example, both this song and Fjord's theme use bagpipes and drums with a driving rhythm that gets gradually more intense, but still they sound very distinct and not at all like copies of each other. That's some skill right there. Oh, and if you ever compose a theme for Mollymauk, you should totally call it "Long may he reign" or "Long may I reign", if you ask me. It would fit so well with his character and the impact he has had on the story...

I love Yasha. She is my favorite character by far. No matter what she has gone through she is the storm and with the others behind her, she will never be alone again. The hells shes gone through, the past that haunts her, the demon that took her, she will never stop fighting to fly again. Long live the angle with wings darker then the storm clouds at her back.
