For the CR playlist! "Waves" by Bahamas is so very Fjord, in my mind. "I Came Around" by Murder by Death reminds me of Scanlan. "Country of the Future" by Mirah for Molly and the M9... "Taxicab Messiah" by Kidneythieves for Jester? (Kinda intense!) And "Each Time I Die" for the group's transition between campaigns, maybe. Well. Thanks for doing this -- I love experiencing story in song, and I look forward to seeing the whole playlist and reading about it in that post! You're great! :)
I’m glad you enjoy it! I’m a little worried I’m just spamming the CR tag, haha :D
Waves is a lovely song, and I definitely see Fjord in it, with the references to being the “ocean's slave” and the waves becoming “out of hand,” which is sort of where we are now with Uk’otoa.
This verse I Came Around reminds me a lot of the e85 Scanlan argument:
“When you've walked through the valley/ Saw the face of death/ And you've paid your debts/ Well then, is there anything left/ Is there anything left?”
The sort of idea of ‘I died and now everything’s different.” But then “I came around” is sort of Scanlan finding himself and re-joining VM.
Country of the Future is so good for Molly. The references to the carnival and being too far away. This verse reminds me of Molly, dead, looking down at M9 on the Mystake:
“And if you need some part of me/ When you're alone there by the sea/ I'll sing you this message through the shell/ That you press to your cheek”
I love Taxicab Messiah as a very different commentary on the Traveler and his relationship with Jester:
“My god loved the whores and babies/ my god never noticed a sin/ my god grew and killed the daisies/ my god threw the towel in/ My god is weird, my god is scared/ my god paints a pretty picture of fear”
I YouTubed “Each Time I Die” and it came up with a bunch of different results — which one did you mean? Sorry!!
Come yell at me about the songs that remind you of Critical Role! I’m making a giant playlist! (Song masterpost | CR music tag)
