BTW!!! WE HAVE STARTED A DISCORD!!! Heres the link!
/ discord
We were told about there being a new tales of the smp episode coming out soon so we wanted to come out with this song around that time! We actually started working on this one probably around June/Julyish but took a long break from it. Also this song along with all our other ones are made entirely with garage band!! WHAT? yeah. I record the piano, Winks records the vocals and then we add the rest of the instrumental to tie it all together. Also, animatic took me about 2 weeks to do!!
For anyone who is wondering, this animatic looks different to my other ones because I was able to try out some of the effects on premiere pro!! I drew every frame in procreate then put it all together with premiere. :)
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!

IKR

AGREED SO TRUE

This is exciting 👀

I agree
Dropster, you are one of my favourite animators!
ELLOOOO
I love how the castle represents the state of his mind. In the beginning, when everything is new and exciting, the castle is pristine and vibrant with empty, unexplored places. Only for the walls to later darken and decay and for the spaces to fill up with the shadows of haunting memories, twisting the castle somehow into something unfamiliar and unsettling. Paired with the song, it reminded me of a music box for some reason. Everytime you wind it up, you wind back time. But are you really going back in time? Or just replaying something that already happened over and over?
Good job! Loved it!
DANNNNGGG "r u going back in time or r u just replaying it over and over"
Underrated comment... just like this underrated video. 😪
That was deep lol
Whoa...deep...
Pretty sure the dark castle is a separate dimension from the bright castle
*Lyrics :)*
A magnificently enchanted key
A lock that conceals what one will soon be
A castle made from glossed and chiseled quartz
A you doomed to tempestuously traverse
A set of swings blowing with the wind of time
A representation, a maze of your mind
A library, crisped pages, tales of a life
A soul that dies on a repetitive timeline
I will find a way to stop losing myself
Have control of myself, and of time
These stories of mine, I'll continue to write
Through these dimensions of time
I will search the White Castle
This White Castle of my mind
An illusion created for your demise
A paved path to guide one from fradulent lies
This place is far from what you think that it is
Escaping is the only way you will win
Is this the way that I am losing myself?
Am I in control, or is time?
These pages that turn with the lessons I learn
Who possesses them, aren't they mine?
Oh, what is this White Castle
This White Castle of my mind
This is the way I am losing myself
I'm not in control, I'm losing time
Rooms full of shelves of the stories I tell
A life that used to be mine
Lost in this White Castle
This White Castle of my mind
Thank you
Thanks
Thank you for this😊
Thanks ※
this gives me MAJOR ‘Lullaby for a princess’ and ‘Once upon a December’ vibes, with both the animation/animatic and the music-
both of you did a good job! :]
Oh fr though!
Omg, yes the end definitely gave me those Once upon a December vibes.
oh lullaby for a princess! i couldn’t place my finger on it thank you
This kind of also gave me children of the night vibes
This is just so cool. The music, vocals, lyrics, art- EVERYTHING! Also that piano/music box is so catchy
Thank you Amanda!!🥰
So true!!!!
AMANDA
I know I speak for the entirety of your fanbase when I say this: your collabs w/Winks are like sugar. No, they *are* sugar. You get some and love it way too much for anything in this entire universe and every other universe to handle. So you get more and more. And the more you have, the more you want because it's SO FREAKING GOOD AND YOU CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH. And you know it's not healthy for you to have this much amazing stuff, but you can't help but keep wanting more and more and it starts to become unhealthily good. Then it's just too good for your body to comprehend anymore and you just crash (and also probably because literally everybody who is part of the Dream SMP fanbase needs to get more sleep. Tell me I'm wrong).
Nailed the angst once again. I don't know how I'm living in the same world as you two.
I can't agree more.
you are anything but wrong. I literally lost sleep last night watching dsmp stories
@@saturna3271 me too m8
Honey that’s addiction XD but I agree
Best comment here litterally!
Dude I’m so excited, I’ve been desperately wanting more Karl/TFTSMP songs and I absolutely adore music box-esque melodies, this is going to be so epic. I resisted the urge to listen to the song on Spotify to wait for the animatic because I know it’s gonna make me c r y
Edit: THE ENDING BEING REVERSED WAS SO CLEVER
I agree, music box melodies give a whole different feeling to a song
I AM SO FLOORED BY THIS, YOU TWO SERIOUSLY NEVER MISS!!! The instrumental, the vocals, the animation, just EVERYTHING about this is so so impressive!!
Oh hello bread!
I really like the glitch effect on the music and the somewhat mystical feeling! It's like walking without a destination in mind but knowing that it will be magical all the same! See you in the premier!
Edit: This is better than even what I was expecting! The colour palette matches really well with the theme and I especially liked the ending and the scene where the colours start to darken?
Slightly ominous too
@@So_Indecisive Yes that too! It's going to be amazing!
Yeah, the glitch thingy in the audio as well as in the video is so interesting.
AGREED
Is this based off of something? Like, I'm new to this Fandom, have I missed this story?
The music box is such an interesting thing. It can be soothing or ominous, or both at the same time. Definitely a fan of it being in this :]
I love the frame from 2:05. He looks at himself like he isn't scared of a different version of them, he looks more concerned for them. The drawings and the lyrics throughout the video work perfectly together. Always excited to see yalls' work :D
THAT DANCE SCENE IS PERFECT
I love the lyrics appearing in the screen, like Karl's reading them in one of the books.
The song is out on all streaming services!! Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more!!

I don’t think i can get enough of this animation, literally the in between drawn like this is the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen
This actually gives me an interesting idea. Whose to say that the White Castle is a physical place? Could it be the form of Karl's mind palace instead? It could be possible that the stories he experiences are visions that he has, and he is just not ready to process the interconnectedness and meaning behind them yet, so they fade from his accessible memory. He writes the general outline of the stories in his books in person, but all the info is hidden in his mind, waiting for the right time for him to be ready to accept them and use them effectively.
It gives me vibes of BBC's Sherlock's mind palace, and Harry Potter's fanon use of occlumency, while the hidden memories distance themselves from Karl's consciousness. I couldn't say if it is an outside force doing so, or him protecting himself, or a version of him protecting himself.
I've got no idea, but a fun thought experiment!
I am writing this into a fanfic. thank you
It sure as hell is
Karl has to sing this next time he has a tale to tell. and I won't care if he sucks at singing, cuz Halfy and Winks already got the masterpiece made as always
I love how you guys write your own songs AND animate them. That’s what I call talent.
This song gives me the Once upon a December vibes
“Pretty pretty, a White Castle will only every appear in my dreams… but the memory’s of ripped pages turn the castle into a dark hue a pitch black..” -Icey 11/08/21
Oh my god, how have I only just discovered this?? I’m a big fan of Karl and have been for a while now, I’m so upset that I never came across this masterpiece!!
So excited I can't wait
For some reason the primere gives me Creep and spooky feelings...
This is gonna be Awesome!
Gods, I love the detail of the people in lineart waltzing behind Karl, the allusion to the unknown things that reside here, the people whos names and faces are lost to time, and the stories that never got to finish
Was amazed by "Wings" and stepped into the fandom, while this is again on another level, Halfy and Winks breaking their own record. This is such a masterpiece.
The White Castle is in my opinion one of the most interesting plotlines and this video just proves my point
When the dancers joined waltz was just ahhh 👌👌
i forgot how much i love waltz' this is amAZING SKJHHJKAHKJWHAKFDJHSL AND THE ART???????? chefs kiss MMMMM
words can’t even explain how perfect this was.The kind of scary vibe to it just made it so cool.
YOOOO SO UNDERRATED!!! where’s all fandom, we have a real masterpiece right there! so emotional, i literally rewatched all Karl’s lore after this :o
Okay let’s not lie
I actually think the animation was amazing it’s like one of the best animation I’ve ever seen
And the music absolutely match with the animation I love it keep going
Everything fits perfectly to him .just talented
watching this over and over again in honor of TFTSMP returning, trailer on feb 2nd i'm so excited!
I adore the eerie vibes this song gives off. The animatic was very pogchamp and so was the singing! Also thank you guys for helping inspire me to write my own dsmp song!!
Heyyy you’re one of my few subscribers :D
We have similar interests I see
words cannot express how AMAZING this is: the symbolism behind each frame paired with the song lyrics-- this is just incredible! truly one of the best animatics i've ever seen, made even better by the story that you tell with this. incredible! :)
Halfy & Winks, I can’t tell you guys enough how much I look up to and am inspired by your talent in animation and singing! It’s clear to me that you love what you do, and that you’re passionate enough to develop your own style! ❤️✨
I can't begin to even explain how great this is and how talented both of you are- You've inspired me to re-watch Tales of The SMP just because. You two are amazing :)
Edit: Just finished reading the description. New episode? Can't wait
I'm already obsessed with this song and video! I can't wait for the premiere!! I love how mysterious it feels
THE REVERSE EFFECT AT THE END LITERALLY MADE ME SHIVER
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RN??? THIS IS THE BEST SONG PAIRED WITH THE BEST ANIMATIC I HAVE EVER SEEN! IM OBSESSED
This animatic, song, emotions, mystery, this is so climatic and epic.
One thing about it:
Give
Me
MORE
Literally in love with everything about this. The haunting melody, amazing animation, and music brings it all together so perfectly.
Both halfy and wiks are truly gifted with different but unique talents. I love this so much!
The Sister Duo strikes again with another masterpiece!
I get lullaby feelings for this song it’s the music box the singing and the piano. It gives me really Nice vibes good job you two :)
When it’s almost 3 in the morning and you just google the lyrics on RUclips since you want to hear the song since it’s been repeating for the millionth time in your head
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL😭😭
I love the part from 2:31 so much
this song.. this animation... I'm thrilled! I really like this video. Karl is one of my favorite characters, and I liked his lore more than others. I just like the plot related to time travel and time travelers.
I love how beautiful the Animation and the song go together! You both are the most Talented people that I have seen on RUclips ever! And you both make a Beautiful group! I love the part where it’s just you explaining how your losing yourself and The music just like stop! And for the Animation I love the design of the castle and let me tell you I was like “WHAT THE HECK THIS IS SOOOO COOOOL LIKE AYOOOOO WHAT?!” Again like before I can’t wait for the more music that comes in the future! Until then farewell!
I don’t know anything about the whole smp thing but this makes me wanna learn 😀😂
One of the best dsmp songs, man the memories
The music box really adds on to the whole “you’re stuck and you can’t get out” vibe. Like how it rewinds, it’s like how he revisits the castle every time he travels, as if he’s going back in time every time he does it.
FANTASTIC!!
Bruh this is so good!! I love that you chose to do a waltz for Karl's song, it fits his character so well and it was so well executed! Also, I love the different "camera" angles you did in the animation! Especially that last frame after Karl goes through the portal!
Yoooooooo
Hype can’t wait
this is my favorite animatic made EVER.
How dah heck does this song not have like a million views or even half a million??? It's so beautiful in both creativity, animation and original song T^T
I feel such soothing vibes of 'Once Upon A December' feelings mixed with some elements of French like that of 'A Monster in Paris' song >-
That made me miss Tales From The Smp even more... It's beautiful!
This video is such eye candy and the song gives me the same feel as “Once a December” it’s sound so wonderful I love this so much^^
I really like the atmosphere you potrayed, at least in my opinion people always really overlook the spooky/sad element in Karl's lore which you both captured perfectly
I showed this song to my mom and for the past week she has played it everyday all day
I think she’s obsessed…
I can't stop listening to the song...this...this is to amazing!
Magnificently!
MMMM THE HARD PAUSES BRING ME INDESCRIBABLE JOY
Winks voice is so enchanting it’s like a siren and paired with your animations all of these songs are just so amazing!
I've been coming back to this song the past few days because I absolutely love the piano and honestly everything about the music, it gave me the old JRPG vibe of Ib, Mad Father and The Witch's House which is very cool! I love how it is unsettling in someway!
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED THERE'S BACKGROUND WHISPERS FROM THE OTHER KARL'S I LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW
This song had my heart with the first 10 notes
This song sounds AMAZING! I love the vocals and drawings! I love how this song represents Karl's mind! You two did great! I'm a big Dream SMP fan, and I LOVED this!
This unlocks my hidden writer prowess
I'm ready to write fiction, bishes!! >:]
I just love these depressing animatics
✨💖💜👑💚❤️✨
TOP 1 SONG THIS YEAR LISTEND 400ISH TIMES WELL DESERVED!
I don't think you understand... I'm obsessed this was AMAZING
VISUALS?? PRETTY. VOCALS?? PRETTY. INSTRUMENTAL?? PRETTY.
AND ALL OF THEM COMBINED??!?!?!!? OMG YES THIS IS GOOD THIS IS GREAT YES INDEED 👍👍👍
This song has big "twisted fairytale" vibes and I am SO down for this, this song and animatic is amazing
OUR FANDOM IS SO TALENTED
YAHOOOO!! THAT WAS AWASOME!! I am DEFINITELY adding that song to my playlist. And the music was just👌 PERFECTO!!
EPICCC POGGGG SAD-IST SHOULD BE SOOOO PROUD RN
This was so well done the piano music in the background reminded me of a clock which is so fitting because he’s stuck in this castle reliving the same thing over and over again. I’m absolutely blown away.
THIS IS MINDBLOWING, EXCUSE YOU????
literally held my hands infront of my mouth in astonishment at one point and realized only when the vid ended
such a haunting melody- its so perfect. i absolutely love that subtle circus feeling of madness, the music box, and those vocals too
this is so freaking cool i am losing my mind-
IDC IF THIS IS 2Y'S OLD I STILL LOVE IT IN 2024
This was absolutely gorgeous I was blown away! WOW
I really like the progression as Karl slowly realizes the In Between isn't what he thinks it is and he's falling apart, going from 'I will find a way to stop losing myself, have control of myself, and of time' to 'is this the way that I am losing myself? Am I in control, or is time?' to 'This is the way I am losing myself. I'm not in control, I'm losing time'.
can draw 🤝 can sing
besties
no but fr this was so amazing, the art style is just *MUAH* and the vocals are so *MUAH* :)))
This is so flippin awesome! Yall are so talented. Great job as always guys!
HALFT AND WINKS, YOU BOTH ARE AMAZING!
You guys will probably the new recognized faces of animation AND songs in the community :O
The best duo 👏 👏
Oh my gosh this is so cool the art the music everything about it is so cool great job haify it's really cool :)
Warning: The following animatic contains legendary singing and animating ahead.
If Karl doesn't get to see this i will be so mad. HE BETTER FIND IT.
I MISSED THE LIVE- I was making food and doing chores but this is AWESOME
Love this, really gives Once Upon a December vibes!
I love the wither rose in this!!! How the flower is wilting and limp in front of the portal :ooooo super cool!!! the symbolism in this is incredible and adds to the creepy vibe!! LOVE IT!!!
HI LIVY
@@winks_kayla helloooo :)))
one time my dad went to white castle with his friends and my mom, like 20 years ago. they all just got fries, but my dad tempted fate and had like 4 sliders, because of course he did. So as they're on this roadtrip, from buffalo to six flags, my dad ate a whole bunch of white castle. And, as white castle does, it upset his stomach. a lot. he was the one driving, and it was an old van that only had openable windows in the front seats. so, when my dad lets loose a hellish cloud of gas, he does the only reasonable thing
he locked the windows, kept driving, and kept having white castle farts. apparently it was horrendous, and one of my dads friends ended up gagging from the smell.
this reminded me of that story. i love the music, but i felt the need to share this
HALFY. WINKS. YOU GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THE VOCALS, THE INSTRUMENTS, THE ANIMATION! JUST *chef's kiss* ^^
i love how at the start, u hear he cranking the "music box" (i forgot whats its called)
I watched it once and liked it very much, but I lost it and today I found it again. It's really amazing
I LOVE THIS ALREADY
