god im back again, the lyrics are amazing along with the editting and background music i am in love w/ this song 😌

Will you ever post this to Youtube or have you already? I love this so much.

are you gonna put any of these on YouTube? I'd love to listen to them there too

HI!! Just wanted to say this song is super good, would I ever have permission to animate it? Of course, just for fun! I just think its pretty neat :-)

is that a reference for Ducks jetpack? cause chefs kiss!!

an original song I wrote for my favorite d&d podcast, The Adventure Zone.  I got myself a whole lotta feelings surrounding this character and by golly, I had to sing em out of me.  Griffin, thanks so much for taking us all on this ride.

audio quality's So Bad cuz i live in an apartment by a busy road so? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hope you can enjoy it regardless!

Lyrics:
You were always meant to save them
You were always meant to try
100 years to write their stories
100 years to watch them die

Bind a book around their lives
And watch the memory leave their eyes and
Is this how it ends?
Tell yourself you love them

Ooh, Lucretia
You're gonna lose the people who've given you their love
But it's for the best, get comfy in your loneliness
And know
That you
Are gonna save 'em all someday

This world is bigger than you planned for
Your plan is bigger than the world
And all the suffering you've been through
Creates a leader from that girl

Build a place where balance reigns
And find your luck is never changing
Until you come to know
That you can't win this alone

Ooh, Lucretia
Don't ever let them see the tension of knowing what you've done
Soon they'll understand their part within the grander plan
And know
That you
Are gonna save 'em all someday

Ooh
Ooh

Hold your head up high and pray that they'll come back alive
And know
That you
Had better save 'em all

Ooh, Lucretia
This is it, no turning back now from what you have become
Your family's by your side the time has come to turn the tide 
And prove
That you
Are gonna save 'em all someday

Ooh, Lucretia
Ooh, Lucretia!

Their voices rise in throng united in a final song
They know
That you
Are gonna save 'em all someday

You're gonna save 'em all someday

You're gonna save us all today

Lucretia (Take One)

Music by Jacob Ryan Smith 
Lyrics by Gina Smith 

From the moment we both finished listening to the Balance arc of The Adventure Zone, we knew we had to make something to shine a light on one of the most dynamic, well realized characters we've encountered. "Redacted" sees Lucretia, Madame Director of the Bureau of Balance, seconds before she makes the choice that would set the events of The Adventure Zone in motion. 

Lyrics: 
The words that I once loved 
Now drip with unease 
As I step back and at once 
See the forest for the trees 

It won’t matter our intentions 
Our hopes or our plans 
What matters is the end result 
This book in my hands 

No one will know how well we meant 
How much we sacrificed 
Cause this story’s how we broke the world 
And couldn’t pay the price 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Then make it back to you 

I’ve the power to change things 
And I know I have to try 
And I called it. I knew it. 
Now I’ve got to pin down why 

Put aside your pride, Lucretia 
Time you stopped pretending 
A story isn’t good 
If we all hate the ending 

I’ve learned that faith is lovely 
But never goes as planned 
If you want something done 
Take it into your own hand 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see our story 
Through the future’s eyes 

An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you 

They’ll be safe and they’ll be happy 
When the past is redacted 
Same people and same world 
Just with some bits subtracted 

Give them beaches and sun 
And tastes of their favorite things 
Give them the world 
And a chance to sample the flavor it brings 
Give them crafts and keeps and love 
And a chance to reset 
All the pain of the past 
The stories and songs 
And the choices we’d rather forget 

So I’ll redact and I’ll revise 
Recut the truth and redefine the lies 
Step back and see this story 
Through the future’s eyes 
An agonizing revision 
Made with exact precision 
Only alone can I see this vision through 
Spare the world 
Spare the world 
And then make it back to you
