Oh my god this actually makes me tear up.

I just wanted to say that I came across this on my playlist today, and it still gives me chills. You did such an awesome job! <3

Stuff to listen to

[Verse]
Rain falls down gentle and slow
Whispers soft where shadows grow

[Verse 2]
Windows fogged with dreams so blue
City lights turned misty hue

[Chorus]
Cozy day in raindrop town
Heartfelt wishes falling down
Hand in hand we find our way
In this dreamy rainy day

[Verse 3]
Puddles form on every street
Splashing with our dancing feet

[Verse 4]
Underneath the gray sky's glow
Love's a spark that starts to show

[Chorus]
Cozy day in raindrop town
Heartfelt wishes falling down
Hand in hand we find our way
In this dreamy rainy day

Cozy Rain

A cover I did of the Crystal Kingdom song from The Adventure Zone, plus a tiny bonus "bridge" in the middle that I wrote. So it's sort of a cover, and sort of not? 
Also, I was totally gonna robo-tize my voice, but with the wicked high notes in this song, I couldn't find any filters in Garageband that weren't so ear piercing. So instead just enjoy my regular old voice with some cool reverb!

Crystal Kingdom (Cover)

I smish smashed together the verses of Crystal Kingdom and Legion from The Adventure Zone: Crystal Kingdom arc, in a way I find aesthetically pleasing. Griffin MCElroy is ultimately responsible for this.

Crystal Kingdom//Legion

"We have to carry on."

This song is dedicated to the 4 men who've made my life ever so much brighter since I started listening to this podcast. Based on The Adventure Zone arc, The Stolen Century.

Side note: I've never orchestrated a piece and then sung on top of it so I'm hoping the blend/mix of this turned out okay? Oh well.

Lyrics below.

Chosen for this trip, 
Aboard our sailing ship, 
We wore our bravest face. 
But, we seven young explorers,
Knew nothing of the horrors, 
Creeping in the inky depths of space.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

We think we’re safe and then, 
The darkness strikes again. 
Feeding on the light that which we seek.
We can try and run away, 
But the Hunger’s here to stay. 
Preying on the hopeless, small and weak.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Put your hand in mine,
We are running out of time. 
Running out of time. 
Running out of time.

As the dark descends,
We see worlds coming to an end,
’Til everything is gone. 
Racing against time, 
Wielding body, heart, and mind.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.
We have to carry on.

Carry On

This is my cover of Griffin McElroy's Crystal Kingdom songs from the Adventure Zone OST. His original tracks can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/griffinmcelroy/sets/the-adventure-zone-ost

Made this using GarageBand and a lot of frustration. I've never done a cover before so... hope you like it! Also go listen to the Adventure Zone.

Crystal Kingdom Cover

The second of 3 songs I've written about The Adventure Zone

LYRICS:
I see a woman who sees her best friends
But they never really see her
I see a woman in self-imposed exile
Full of regrets but her heart was never alone

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see three men who think they're meeting
For the first time in a bar
But they’re brothers through and through
I see a lover who became a fighter
Rebirth for woman #2

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see a man who’s silent save one word
Does he know what’s been taken from his life
I see a child has truth, needs love
He’s a star, burning bright

I see a man or he was one once
Til his soul fell apart and ate everything up
I see seven birds
Migrating north

Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone
Twelve years
Is a long time to be alone

I see a woman who sees her best friends
But they never really see her
I see a woman who sees her family
But they never really see her

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)

Special thanks to Domirine (@domirine on The Twitter and The Tumblr) for permission to use their portrait of Lucretia, it's gorgeous.

WARNING: this song contains spoilers for episode 67 of The Adventure Zone, but potentially can spoil earlier episodes, too. Sort of. Maybe a bit. It's subjective.

Lyrics:
I was just about to ... but wait
You said something about ... maybe fate?
This seems so familiar ... did we ... ?
We're in awful danger
Lucretia, what have you done?

Comes the Hunger

No time for answers, we have to fight
These dark disasters
We refuse the night
But if we make it through the war ahead
You'll have to face all of the things you did

You'll have to face it
Lucretia, what have you done?

(You took everything from me)
I'm sorry, so sorry
I never meant for it to be like this
I have a plan
We still can win
Please trust me

Lucretia, what have you done?

And so to battle
With swords of flame, and rage, and poison
Doom awaits

Lucretia, what have you done? (FAWM 2018)

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
