#DarringtonPress #CriticalRole #Ukotoa - Hry
Just imagine one night while the mighty nine slept, Fjord woke yet again to a puddle of foam, several starfish, and a halfling quartet
The great Scanlan shortholt wrote this one
“What the… What do you want from me Uk-“
[Sees the Halfling Quartet]
“…what the fuck.”
Would be safe to blame Veth (and Sam)
Plot twist: someone shits in his bed.
Come on Fjord, you vomited up four halflings again! Every time
So cool that Critical Role is leaning into making canon music for the world of Exandria!!
Yeah it really adds a lot of flavor to a world. Same with like ancient drawings and scriptures and stuff. Makes me wish I was talented enough for stuff like that.
Hi Ginny!
(Really hoping for the day your Ruby of the Sea song is being played at an inn at some point on their adventures!!) (I mean I’m away real life logistics exist and make this complicated to impossible but I can dream haha)
For me at least music is one of those things that really brings a idea to life for us all😂.
Like at least for a moment it brings a little piece of Exandria into reality
Watch out Middle Earth, Exandria is on its way to having more worldbuilding!
The same sailors 10 minutes later:
“The Ruby of the Sea is the best... lay ever!”
now I want a Ruby of The Sea shanty.
@@wit6665 Ginny Di has a very good one.
I read this in the rythm of Best Day Ever by One Direction and now i can't stop laughing
@@wit6665 Ginny Di and R Morgan Slade both did different but equally excellent versions of that song.
@@rafaelcastor2089 Why not Best Day Ever by Spongebob,, xD
I like how Uk'otoa is vibing with the song by waving his humanoid lightsticks around
rave party
@@bellabruno8533 *wave party
Why not have some fun
Mans popped a halfing named Molly and he's just on striaght rave energy for like 8 hours till it wears off
Avantika: "I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that."
She ain't hearing much these days
honestly he has yet to prove himself a liar
Avantika *is in the pub while this song is sung by every patron at the same time*
Avantika: This has nothing to do with me *takes a sip*
avantika: i Pretend i Do Not See It
As if this song actually existed in her time. This was likely made/influenced by M9 after the series.
Never knew I would be blessed with a Critical Role sea shanty
Here's one a fan made about Port Damali
czcams.com/video/Ddz1Fw5Oz6E/video.html
I love your pfp. Do you have a link to the pic?
Then check out “the ruby of the sea is the best lay ever” sea shanty :)
Or "Port Damali."
This is exactly the thought I had.
You can hear Sam's experience as an a cappella group members, his blend is so fucking good you can't even tell hes singing half the time
For real though. Everyone is able to harmonize so well that the only one I'm able to hear 100% of the time is Ashley, but that's just because she's the only girl.
I know right?? Half the time I can’t tell who’s singing, I can pick out Sam and Taliesin at separate times but they’re so good at harmonising it’s really hard to tell who’s singing
Really because Sam and Ashely are the ones i hesr the most
Headcannon that this is Pike and Scanlan singing songs together to their kids.
*this has been accepted yes*
Of course Taliesin the Timeless would manage to eek into their kids too
OH MY FUCKING GOD! This was stuck in my head! It was the first thing that came to my mind while I was listening to this! The legendary MEAT MAN, Pike and their children!
Wait... They became a couple? Wasn't the whole point of that subplot that Scanlan was being a womanizer and apologized to her? What plot points warranted them being a couple?
I genuinely need to know.
@@redforest9269 Have you finished campaign 1? That has literally all of your answers lol
Taliesin and Dani wrote this! It’s amazing!!!
Who else but our Eldritch God and our lore Master could come up with this?
Takes an eldritch god to write about one
@@fredlamarre7173 lol, if course
Fun fact: he wrote this hundreds of years ago while having a bit of fun sailing on a ship. He just had to adjust it a bit so it was in English and more plot relevant.
Who's Dani?
Fjord in first half of campaign: I don't know these powers *are* pretty sweet.
Fjord in second half of campaign: Holy shit balls that was a terrible idea, what was I thinking?!
Said every person ever looking at old photos...
first half of campaign: this 1d10 cantrip is awesome
second half: sell my soul and doom the world??? wtf
I think they’re more „Unholy“ balls, don’t you think?
True, but Travis was like “I don’t know the powers are pretty sweet the whole campaign”
Let's also remember that each of these sentences would be said in a different accent.
The whispers at the end are just golden. I love how the inside joke of a friend group can pan out this well.
Forgot you were a Critical role fan siren XD
uk'otoa was an inside joke?
@@adamguthrey6160 whispering Uk’otoa every time after the name is said is
Low key though, both Ashley and Talisen could whisper voice a creepy ghost thing and id shit myself from excitement cause that ending was awesome
Matt basically gave everyone an evil deity and was like “okay go”
Now all we need is the Dashilla sea shanty to be animated with this quality
Dashilla is a small fish.. But has canonical sing song.. Hmmm
That would be awesome
Yesssss please
Oh I need a Dashilla sea shanty like I need air. 🙏
Excuse me, was no one going to tell me that Taliesin can sing and write sea shanties?!
To be fair, I'm not sure why you're surprised. He's had plenty of time to master the skill, hell, he was probably there when the first sea shanties were being sung!
@@OftheBriar He probably came up with the first sea shanties.
Let’s be honest. He is probably the topic of many of them...
All of this is correct, he did in fact write the first sea shanty ever but for his more recent singing, his instagram also has a video of him singing another sea shanty
there are a couple videos of him singing some irish songs for saint patricks with erika iishi!
Ashley and Taliesin singing a sea shanty in tandem is something i didnt know i needed rn
I hope that either Ashley or Taliesin will pick up the bard class in Campaign 3, they are brilliant in this!
If Talisen picks Bard, the prophecy will come true and Cerridwen will rise again.
I would love for Tal to be a bard in campaign 3 especially since it means we'd get to hear him sing all the time.
@@lyra981 It wouldnt surprise me if Taliesin's version of a bard would be completly different though. I dont know how or what, but I do love the idea of a goth bard with some sort of twist on the spellcasting.
@@SwedishSalmonbox Very true. I would hope we would get to hear him sing just a little though.
But would Talisien use songs, or just one-liners?
Now we need a heavy metal song for Tharizdun
A heavy metal album from the orphan makers🤘👌
Complete with a bone harp solo
" LOST IN CHAINS"
"WE FEEL THEIR PAIN"
"NO SOUL TO SLEEP"
"NO GOAL TO MEET"
" ALL. THAT. IS. "
" FOR US TO EAT"
ensue death metal choir
@@jamescanjuggle amazing
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah?
Oh yeaaaahhh!
Greetings again
Fiend of a fiend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end.
Now steal the prays, so you can ascend.
Break the chains, polymorph, feed agaaaiinnn
[hook] ill twist the knife
Lift you up, sacrifice our life
Chained angel
Chained angel
We are your faithful
Something twisted and wrong
Waiting for the puppet's song
Eat well and prosper, you've waited so long.
Now steal the prays, so you can ascend.
Break the chains, polymorph, feed agaaaiinnn
Something along that?
Love that they used the whispery echo that they do as part of the lyrics.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Taliesin is a goddamn gift
And Dani!
I hear Ashley and Sam coming through the strongest, so I really like the idea that Pike taught Scanlan this song after her time at sea.
I am proud to say i whispered Uk'otoa every second.
New game: drink every time Uk'otoa is said (and every time you whisper it)
R.I.P.
(uk'otoa)
*(uk'otoa)...*
Verbally, I'm just forced to whisper Uk'otoa anyways. I only ever hear it in whispers.
Kenku life.
-uk'otoa-
they are bathing us with content and i love it
Ashley's voice is so distinctive, can clearly pick her's out, genuinely amazing.
My none verbal autistic 4yo found this🤣 we've watched critical role since before she was born and she loves it, lol. Hearing her trying to sing this sea shanty, trying to pronounce uk'otoa as she rocks back and forth, waving her arms like tentacles to beat, is my new favorite thing in the world 🤣😂🤣
Travis's bass would've been welcomed here
Taliesin is baritone so he's singing the low in this. See the sea Shanty on his Instagram
This was just an excuse for them to whisper Uk'otoa at the end and I love it
Why does my brain immediately pull “brave sir robin ran away” from the holy grail listening to this song
It's a similar number of syllables ending in away.
"He ran away, he ran away, he bravely ran away..." XD
Also this is SUCH a good Uk'otoa design, it's the very perfect balance between Matt's description of a serpent and the fanon that there's just tentacles everywhere somehow, lol. Props to Hannah Friederichs, this is my favourite piece of non-fan visual content from critical role ever, I think, so pretty.......
cthulu invades everything
I saw Critical Role and sea shanty, I clicked at the speed of light.
Saame, I literally paused the video I was watching and rushed here as fast as I could click.
same
I just stopped my sea shanties for this
I was watching the campaign when this notification popped up. Paused a CR vid to watch another CR vid.
Same 👀
I wonder if actually Fjord’s Mates actually sang this at sea before the events of Campaign 2.
I think Fjord might have heard it if that were the case. Although, I suppose he doesn't always have the best memory.
Yeah, some even say that he's pretty Fjorgetful
@@H2OHydraulic nice
It's always Poseidon this, Triton that. Stop singing/storytelling about eldritch sea gods while at sea, people!
@@NotCthulhu I mean singing praises of Posideon/Triton is usually a good thing, best to keep them happy.
Now I imagine Fjord hearing this song before he made the pact. The he made a pact, saw his patron's form, heard his name countless times, and still thought whether it was bad or not. Or, he Fjorgot...
Duuude I legit spit my drink on the desk! I can't aFjord to damage my pc XD
Did you written that head canon for a pun?
@@elizabethkblanco4620........maybe
@@giorgiomauceri410 👍
My interpretation is that Fjord and Jester made the song and spread it to their sailer friends so no one has to go through what Fjord did.
And in this episode of The Adventures of the M9...
Fjord fjucking djies.
Djeath by Snea Snake...
Came for the shanty, fell in love with the animation.
Welp, there goes crit Tok, I expect 20 covers by the end of the day
And of course Taliesin had a hand in writing it, he wrote most other sea shanties anyways
And CZcams, I can hear Cami-Cat and Annapantsu warming up from here.
@@starsgears9200 how about Chase Noseworthy and R Morgan Slade too
@@gracehagele5462 oooo, yes, or a Lilli cover. I know they all know about it from Twitter. Maybe even fingers crossed for a group project?
Lo fi version by Autumn Orange?
Can we please have an entire album of Exandrian shanties and tavern songs? I love this one! There are so many in-game and out-of-game plotlines that would make excellent and haunting music, like Caleb's tale of the three empire children, and Caduceus' legend of a playful kenku spirit calling out to travelers in the woods. Granted, these two instances would likely be ballads or lullabies, but they would still be fun to hear.
Lyrics:
Upon a sea that's tossed and gray
we fight to keep the dreams at bay
for in our sleep we hope for peace
lest the nightmares have their way
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
Chilling thoughts and watchful eyes
await for those who seek the prize
but all is not as it was thought
for the serpent always lies
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
And if the creature is released
our peaceful days will surely cease
The winds will wail as waves assail
To herald what lurks beneath
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
A haunted fog comes rolling through
the sea begins to toss and strew
with cutlass and cannon we make a stand
(Though little might it do)
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
As the serpend rises tall
his many eyes now seeing all
the ship won't keep above the deep
if our steadfast sailers fall
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
A flick of tongue and sharpened teeth
are the only gifts that he'll bequeath
and those who fought to stay aloft
will be swallowed and drowned beneath
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
So heed the words from sailors old
beware the dreams with eyes of gold
Though he'll speak of quests and powers blessed
ignore the lies you're told
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!
(Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!)
(Uk'Otoa! (Uk'Otoa) Keep him locked away!)
I'm gonna nominate this as the song the crowd sings before the start of a live show
Only if there's a Tortle with a set of shell bagpipes to play along with the crowd!
@@Reyn_Roadstorm Instant flashbacks to the Orly costume by Travis.
Calling it now: What's gonna happen is we are gonna get another Fjord uk'otoa moment and the cast won't be prepared for the crowd to just starting singing the sea shanty and they will have to pause for a couple of minutes
@@Tcrumpen I sure hope not. Singing it before the show? Cool. Interrupting the show? Not cool.
That sounds amazing, but I know for a fact I would cry over it when the episode went up on here. The first time the audience sang along to the theme song made me cry.
I had no idea Taliesin sang as well damn talented people
I only can hear Sam and Ashley :oc
If you can get access, and if its still available as a VOD, check out a couple of Gather Your Party: Pub editions on Geek & Sundry's Twitch
@@Koriyaoi same problem here lol, I actually want to be able to hear Taliesin's part because I can't imagine what he actually sounds like singing lol
@@EnigmaEagle Pretty sure he’s singing unison with Sam
I was trying to figure out who that third voice was.
Ashley's voice is so recognizable, always a pleasure to hear her sing!
I need this so hard on Spotify
I'm going to have this stuck in my head for a while aren't I.
I need this as a ringtone
It's already stuck, you'll be having dreams of golden eyes soon
yup
You: Trying to sleep
Your Brain: We fight to keep the dreams at bay
Same
Taliesin's singing voice gave me shivers.
I hear Sam and Ashley... Is the main voice Taliesin?
I hear laura too for some reason
Shivers me timbers?
@@a_Fax_Machine // Goddamnit man.
Shivers and queefs
If you didn't whisper Uk'Otoa in your mind as you read the title, don't speak to me
What if I actually whispered it?
i did it outloud ... and still do it everytime the song pops up in my playlist ... ive had weird looks
ashley and sam's voices blend so nicely!!!
Since when did critical role do songs like this?
Also can we get a traveler song
Well "Your Turn to Roll" was done by Critical Role, so was the DnD Beyond song...
And make Travis sing it using Sprinkle voice
I mean, the CR community does songs all the time, there's tons of amazing ones.
@@davidbodor1762 i agree with you
Ironucally, Aviators has "Traveler's Song", which is not about CR, but still perfect for D&D.
I love that i can hear each person singing and especially Ashley! Time to learn all the words
Ah, I see my warlock patron Taliesin has granted me a pact boon. I am blessed!
Well, this is more relevant now than ever.
How many episodes until Sam uses this song? Probably one.
Well I mean, it is made by CR so like, I would imagine so
So cool that taliesin wrote this!
As the Eldritch God of Ren Faires, it's fitting.
And Dani!!!
Here once again to say that if this were released on Spotify I would explode with happiness
Oh I can definitely hear Tal’s voice into it now . Ashley and Sam are really standing out as they do have specific voices but Tal too . That was amazing
Can’t wait for there to be a conclusion to the Uk’otoa mystery
There won't be one probably. It's been a while since they started to talk about this arc as the last one of the campaign. It might be an open thread for future campaigns
@@cosimon6347 it’s not the last arc of the campaign lol even if it is, it hasn’t been confirmed
@@PVilla27 in the most recent episode Matt said something along the lines of this being "the final arc"
@@PVilla27 Matt called it the last arc not that long ago
In the last Talks Sam said something along the lines of "this is the last bit of the campaign"
Next ad will be Ashley "The Johnson" Johnson singing this a cappella
I'm voting with my Johnson!
My first thoughts were, "this has Taliesin all over it", and "great, that's what's going to be in my head for the afternoon."
I love the idea that this song is started by the Mighty Nein as a sort of cautionary fairy tale surrounding Uk'otoa, after taking care of the final key, to warn people not to take the serpent's deals
Words cannot express how much I love this shanty.
2021 is truly the year of the sea shanty, and this one is amazing
I'm going to need this song on Spotify, and more of this in general once in a while
I like to think this is molly and yasha at the circus singing together in the front of a bonfire
Hearing Taliesin singing is so nice! His voice melts in well with Ashley and Sam :D Also nice to see what Uk'otoa actually looks like
I really hope he isn’t just a background villain I hope he takes a more central focus
Probably in campaign 3
I suspect lvl 18-20 Will be ukatoa heavy
Robin Lahti they've mentioned a few times they don't plan to go to 20 again, though I'm still a few episodes behind so something may have changed.
@@firelahti We're already in the endgame of the campaign, buddy. We're not making it to those levels this time.
@@firelahti Matt said in the recent episode this is the final chapter
... we got this out of a MEME, guys. Amazing.
TALISEN SINGING AND WRITING A SHANTY WITH DANI IS SO COOL!! I wish he had a solo or something! It was hard to pull his voice from the others and I really want to know what he sounds like when he sings! :)
Among the many things that make CR great, I love how I get to enjoy Ashley Johnson and Taliesin Jaffe’s singing.
Very cool to hear Sam, Ashley and the all seeing eye of infinity in this way! Didn't recognize them at all at first.
This is the first time I’ve heard taliesin sing/first piece i’ve heard that he’s written and he needs to do more
Beating Uk'otoa seems like a future one shot now that campaign 2 is over
Sadness, I started watching in January and I’m on episode 104 I was hoping to watch some live before the campaign ended
@@jadebrunner8699 watch the animated recap shorts
This is amazing, and Taliesin's singing voice is so good??!??! Everyone sounds wonderful. Thank you!
Me: _whispering_ Uk'otoa
Last time I was this early Molly was spitting at a boss.
Why must you tug on my heartstrings so?
Still too soon...
That was uncalled for.
I always thought of a crew of a long dead crew singing this song to the M9 as they explored the underwater wreckage of a ship while looking for temple of uk’otoa, especially the whispers they just give off the vibe of a ghost crew warning adventurers of the dangers ahead in the only way they can, sea shanties
Really hope this comes to spotify, its going right into my sea shanty playlist
Everybody: *”keep him locked away”*
Taliesin, in the background: “(uk’otoa)”
This is chilling and beaultiful, now i want a bass-baritone rendition of this masterpiece with a huge brass instruments and organ assembly, to give me that dayvey jones locket vibe from pirates of the caribbean
I've gone ahead and given this a shot. I don't have any brass, but I have an organ setting on my piano, and I'm a bass. I've figured out parts that will work for that type of arrangement and will be recording them in the coming days. I've never done audio editing before, though, so it will be a little while before I've completed it. If I succeed in the editing process, I will post the link here when it is done. If I fail in the editing process, I will post that update so as not to leave anyone hanging.
Edit: It is nearly complete now, with just a few finishing touches to put on it. Only a couple days now!
Edit again: Or a couple hours as it turned out! The link is now in another reply to this comment!
Desirat and Quajath are like “why don’t I have a song?”
They need their warlocks to approach main character status.
Next Capagin boys!
Weirdly enough the only individual voice I could pick out was Ashley's. It's possible this was because she's the only female voice among those singing, but still.
Holy shit the art is amazing
Okay.... this is a banger
Hahaha its fire sale trash. Take off the blinders
@@rogerjohnson2793 Its not that bad but its not amazing. Its pretty monotone throughout and there's no chorus. I get its sung by the cast but it would of been better if it was sung in one voice or if like travis did it with a deeper voice and ashley sang a higher part. Something like Fjord and Avantika singing different parts. As is, its ok. Ginny D's sea shanty is far better for instance. Most likely in a month or less, they'll be a much better version of it.
@@rogerjohnson2793 Or, and get this, maybe they just genuinely like it??
Tal‘s singing voice is incredible. Bard for campaign 3 pls!
Taliesin and Dani thank you for the best song of the year 🥺
I didn’t know I needed this. It will now be stuck in my head. Thank you Critical Role. Thank you Taliesin, Dani, and the singers.
Also can’t wait for the Uk’otoa game to come out.
I never knew I needed this in my life, but my life has been vastly improved by this song’s existence.
Steve sure is a very multi-talented guy. Not only is he the director of CR shows but also singing sea shanty here.
Just a reminder to everyone that this is advertising a mcfuking board game, in case you didn't know. Get hype
This is amazing, fits the vibes entirely
Please please PLEASE release this song so I can listen to it on repeat forever
I hope this gets released on Spotify so I can add it to my shanty list for the Golden Age of Piracy campaign I'm working on.
I was so disappointed to learn this wasn't a teaser song for a CritRole album.
Ashley Johnson's voice is incredible
came back to this as it's now the official theme song of the Mighty Nein Reunited
*whispers"Ukatoa
I so wanna play this on loud speakers late at night while on a cruise...
I wish this song was on Spotify. It would run 24/7. Great work, guys!
Ashley's voice is so good for fantasy
I love the way this is animated!
Are we going to ignore the fact that Uk'otoa symbolism contains 9 eyes?
And Lucien has the cloven crystal now...
Also has strong connections to dreams...
ANd they're both big water snakes, Lucien is just disguised of course....
@@kljr7521 i mean, he didn't exactly hide his "Water Snake"
This is actually so catchy that I can't stop listening to it.
So kind of Uk'otoa for agreeing to be part of the music video for us, such a lovely guy 😍😍
Ive never been so happy to see a see shanty
Well now I want a Ruby of the Sea shanty
There’s an unofficial one that’s really good if you’re interested?
czcams.com/video/cYfWEqJH43s/video.html
This is amazing, but now I expect a heavy metal Stormlord song. Just imagine Ashley with Taliesin as backup vocals.
Taliesin and Dani wrote this!!! 👏👏👏👏
