So I have been running back and forth across the country, releasing a giant musical, and trying to start a new job- and I just have not had the time to record Scanlan Songs. I hope this video will hold you over until next month. This song was written by Pumpkin Queen and Angela McCain, and, since I sang it as Scanlan in the musical, I thought I'd try to sing it as Will for you guys. Here's how the song sounds in my actual range. And for all of the people wondering if we're cool with you covering our songs... Let this be your answer.
You can find the entire Hamilton musical rewritten and recorded to fit the Chroma Conclave arc of Critical Role here, for free!: http://www.willcrosswait.com/cpan
Dear Kaylie
My dearest Kaylie,
What to say to you?
You have my ear, our music rings the same
When you came into my life you cried, and it broke my heart
I'm dedicating every scry to you
Domestic life was never quite my style
But when you smile, you knock me out I am disarmed
And I thought I had charm
I’m so sorry for our situation
But I’ll bleed and fight for you
I'll make it right for you
If we can save the world from devastation
I’ll sing my songs to you
They will inspire you and you’ll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Oh, Kaylie when you’re near, I am beguiled
My child
I have a child
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
There is so much more inside me now
So much of me I see in you, it’s wild
My child
When you smile, I am disarmed
And I thought I had charm
Your father wasn't around
I know I wasn’t around
I swear that
I’ll be around for you
I'll do whatever it takes
I’ll make up for my mistakes
I’ll make the world safe and sound
For you
You will be my only dedication
I'll fight and strive for you
I'll stay alive for you
If we save the world from devastation
I’ll sing my songs to you…
I will inspire you
so you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
Yeah, you'll blow us all away
Someday, someday
