omg, the "I'll be your boatman, your reaper / I'll be yours but you can't keep her" line is sheer perfection. It hits so hard.

[@nightingale8178]

I always like to imagine that your songs are sung by a traveling musician, in some tavern somewhere in Exandria, to a bunch of eager to listen and curious folk.

[@jsmith9213]

Legit, CR should canonize this, and make you a character that pops-up periodically.

[@KitKatHexe]

I like to think of it like the suburban guy in Stargate who saw a good portion of the series go down through the communication stone. The guy woke his wife up in the middle of the night crying when Daniel Jackson died, and since she thought the SG-1 team were just her husband's delusions she got him admitted to psychiatric care. While Jack O'Neill saw the dudes suburban life through the stone and just thought he was daydreaming about having a boring normal life. Imagine that sort of link, but the guy's a bard and travels the land singing the praises of a group of adventurers he can rarely ever catch up with.

[@scarlightemperor3410]

My paladin is actually doing this exact thing. My DM okayed me singing these to help the players get engaged and fill into their characters. also just fun since they always like my singing voice

[@noblehamblin5410]

I have a sister who passed away a few years ago. She is far away from me now and yet at the same time I keep her close listening to the songs she loved. It's my thread of fate that keeps me connected to her. I know if she was still here I would have made her sit down and watch all the episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina with me and that she would have loved this song. Thank you for making it and curse you for making me cry at work! :D It is truly a masterpiece. You should be PROUD. May the Matron of Raven's be Ever in Your Favor.

[@ChaseNoseworthy]

I’m so happy my song could somehow help honor the memory of her ❤

"I'll be your boatman, your reaper... I'll be yours but you can't keep her."

Wow, just wow, this song is just absolutely incredible. I can just feel this is what’s going through Vax’s mind while pleading to the Matron in the tomb

[@scarletangel9462]

They couldn’t have gotten it anymore spot on, it’s just that good! I’m surprised that this is not official yet

[@NexusNemesis]

I'd love Vexahlia's side of this song too, and then for Liam and Laura to duet. Thank you, this is great and hits the heartstrings. I hope they get to hear this.

[@AppleCrumbleston]

Imagine if Vex’s side was made with the same tempo and scale so that if both songs were to be played at the same time then it would sound like they are doing a duet

[@somerton4383]

That would be so incredible! Would really pull at the heartstrings

[@guardiannyx4418]

Get Lilli Furfaro to play Vex's part lmao

[@error-datalost7586]

I made a quick modification of the lyrics to Vex’s perspective(I’m rusty on the lore so I forgot if Vex was aware of the raven matriarch but I’ll hand wave a hc that she felt it) It’s more of her telling Vax not to do it and just move on Vex’s version: Your soul and mine They’re one and the same Split one in twain and we both feel the pain The sins of one father run red in our veins Through darkness and hunger, I remained But your heart no more beats in tandem with mine Are you waiting for the wink and the witty one liner For me to say i got you and hit you with a smile But the hole in my chest says you’ll be waiting for a while Don’t be her boatman, her reaper Don’t be hers, let her be my keeper Lay me down on a bed of raven’s feathers Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone Accept my death Don’t pick up the crown Just leave my body asleep on this ground Don’t give her your soul, let mine stay laid down In this tomb I wish had never been found She wants a champion But don’t look back Don’t be her boatman, her reaper Don’t be hers, let her be my keeper Lay me down on a bed of raven’s feathers Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone There’s no price too steep to pay To let you keep your life Losing you is more than I could bear So swear Dear Brother, swear to me You won’t go, never follow me Though I am far, don’t weep I am not gone

[@legion7968]

[@Icipherx]

As an older brother who would stop at nothing for his sister, I can't help but relate to Vax and Vex's relationship. You managed to break me yet again, Chase.

[@skylark7921]

I don’t know how you did it, but each time the lyrics reference vex, even just saying “her”, I can just feel so much tenderness, love, and devotion. And something about the lines “you want a champion/I want her back” and “I’ll be your boatman, your reaper/I’ll be yours but you can’t keep her” just calls into the depths of Vax’s desperation and determination in a way I don’t even know how to describe. This song is just… magical. Are you sure you’re not a bard?

[@fearthepiggaming2998]

Yeah those lines send shivers down my spine.

I love that episode, both in the show and episode and I can really see how you translated their words and the scenes into lyrics. Even the things they didn't say out loud.. I can also basically feel the desperation, pain and pleading you put into the last chorus. This song sounds so soft, yet so helpless and painfull. You did amazing!
