The closed caption on the streaming site I watched it on says it's sung by Peter Habib. I thought at first it was Mercer too, but his singing voice is distinctly richer and deeper than that. However, Matt did sing the "Ruby of the Sea." Clips of it all over YT.
@@awkwardaquamarine19 interesting. On twitter Matt said “hope my little song at the end helped with the lighthearted vibes ;)”, so I was just going off of that
When they said season 3 was gonna hurt our feelings, we all thought of "The Bard's Lament", and while there's 3 episodes left so that can still happen, pretty sure this is what they were referring to.
Might be more of a S4 thing to happen! Makes me wonder if S4 would be a Scanlan-centered character building season for him (like how S1 focused on the Briarwoods story arc/Percy's development, S2 was a combo of Grog's, Vax's, and a little bit of Scanlan's development, and S3 was for Vex and Keyleth). Makes me wonder if we'll get even more combos in character development by the next season.
Matt's posted the "clean" version on RUclips. "Not How It's Supposed To End" This song hit me like a hammer in the show and did again just listening to it. A girl I loved was killed in an accident that happened right in front of me. Ironically, she was also the healer in our D&D group. This retriggered the PTSD I already had from childhood due to my Dad's death in a plane crash and, as I've finally come to understand, that I've struggled with all my life. This last year almost ended me, with work pressure coupled to the PTSD pushing me to the lowest place possible., Matt's vocals conveyed that emotion so well. Thanks to a decent counsellor I'm on the way back, and discovering this bunch of nerds through the tv show (and, damn, they remind me so much of my friends and our old group) has been such a delight - bringing back a lot of happy memories of our own campaigns and real-life moments.
My best estimate: "So caught up they didn't know which way to go. But the bond between them felt forever. Would love win if they could only take it slow? With twisted hearts and danger faced together. But life moves fast and something felt wrong. She ran to him, but he was gone. Please let the darkness fade away. Let him breathe again. Now there's nothing left, oh. Will life ever be the same? Oh that's not how it's supposed to end no..."
Such a gut shot to inform the fanbase “No, you actually don’t know everything that’s going to happen. Even the main cast isn’t safe.” I remember how almost trivial Anna’s defeat felt, and Matt likely had this whole plan of mass producing weapons to feed the demon in his back pocket. So to have Percy fall to her and then have Matt literally tell the fans “That’s not how it’s supposed to end” in this scene, really drives the point home. Abandon your assumptions, in this timeline, all bets are off.
I bet they will revive him before the seasons finished. There will be stuff we dont expect, but that will be more like vox machina being only 5 when they defeat thordak and storylines being combined into one. @@BE4RSH4RKT4PUS
When this started playing I had to pause and just sit there for five minutes thinking to myself "is that fucking Matt Mercer singing?" this song is gorgeous and it made the moment so much powerful. I would sell my souls to orthax just to get a full three minute version of this
i watched on prime on my tv, and it said the title was "Not How It's Supposed To End" (i think) on the subs... i cant lie when I say i spent 45 minutes looking for this song online, thinking it was a portion of a full length "real" song. Matt is insane, and this show is only getting better. All the cast, amazing job.
An amazing song for a serious moment, I wonder how they will bring Percy back in the show as i believe it took some effort to do in the live game. Also this song better be on the soundtrack album if we get one.
They made a point of having Ripley tell him (and show him) that the guns steal souls of victims. His soul is trapped in the gun probably, defeat her/recover the gun = Percy's back.
My current theory: there will be Res magic they find in Raishan's horde. Only it won't work because his soul is with Orthax and saving him will be the hook for season 4
It was brought up in the campaign but the mirroring of the Briarwoods with this is so tangible. Mercer absolutely killed this. I hope the future, ‘How Do You, Vox Machina , Want To Do This?’ moment is just as good.
Song is called "Not how its supposed to end" Written by Peter Habib Sung by Matt. I hope there is a full version that comes out with the season finale on spotify or whatever
My guess is that Percy will be brought back either by Raishan/Whispered One necromancy black magic fuckery or the new devil stuff Pike has going on which is how his kids would be eventually tainted by infernal blood. That said is if they decided to kill him off it would be a very bold and interesting change.
Yeah, he’ll be resurrected somehow. Leaving him dead would be way too big a change from the ultimate outcome of the live gameplay. Changes thus far have been to give extra depth to characters or make things flow better in an adaptation.
Spoiler for actual campaign don't read if you don't know what happens. In the campaign Percy is eventually brought back. That said they already change multiple things from the original and if Percy was to stay dead it would be a very bold and interesting choince. My guess is he'll be brought back by Raishan/Whispered One necromantic fuckery or the new devil shit Pike has going on which is how Percy's kids would be tainted by infernal blood.
I kinda hope the lyrics get changed for the final version in the soundtrack, cause it felt really on the nose for the scene. But the tragedy vibes are immaculate.
Yes, indeed. I would prefer a song with classical music instruments and some choir to replace this. (Since this campaign is a late 14th century/early 15th century theme. When I saw this scene, Mozart's "Lacrimosa" was playing in my mind in the first place. )
I don’t see enough people talking about the fact that this is sung by Matthew fucking Mercer. The man killed it!
I had to look it up when finished the episode because I wasn't sure, so cool.
I thought so, but to be fair, he did like 90 percent of the V. Acting on the table so I thought I was imagining it.😅
The closed caption on the streaming site I watched it on says it's sung by Peter Habib. I thought at first it was Mercer too, but his singing voice is distinctly richer and deeper than that. However, Matt did sing the "Ruby of the Sea." Clips of it all over YT.
Percy was my top favorite charecter in show by far. I nearly lost my interest to watch rest (maybe just to see how thordak will be gone)
@@awkwardaquamarine19 interesting. On twitter Matt said “hope my little song at the end helped with the lighthearted vibes ;)”, so I was just going off of that
We need a full cover from matthew cause holy shit he fucking killed it
matthew sings this!?
@@Asuneva yup
YES
this scene with this music fully broke me, the tone was perfect to help us feel the pain vex is going through when she sees Percy dead
turned into Arcane all of a sudden
Also got that vibe 🤣
Music just makes scenes like this so much more impactful
Ana Ripley to Vex: "There's nothing worse than the death of a loved one, especially if it's your fault.
When they said season 3 was gonna hurt our feelings, we all thought of "The Bard's Lament", and while there's 3 episodes left so that can still happen, pretty sure this is what they were referring to.
Tbh I don't think I can take more emotionally scared than this
So... No bard's lament for us. But it's okay, honestly it makes sense this way as well. Hope we still get to see Taryon!

I’m thankful we never got Bards Lament, that scene broke my heart idk if I could handle it animated

@@BE4RSH4RKT4PUS i like to think its fell forever
I will not be able to enjoy Vox Machina unless I see Ripley get genuinely bodied
That’s what the writers probably intend to do: ensure Ripley goes completely unpunished. Perhaps reserve her for Mighty Nein or miniseries about her.
Percy was my top favorite charecter in show by far. I nearly lost my interest to watch rest (maybe just to see how thordak will be gone)
Oh that’s right they found a gun oh crap! That would be wild for Mighty Nein vs Ripley!

His final thoughts and word was the woman he loved. The world lost a brilliant mind, hope Anna’s soul burns worse for such an act
She foolishly made a deal with Orthax - hopefully she takes over at that forge.

Matthew killed it with this song though he did SO GOOD
For me this song was PERFECT, the second the drums kicked in I was done for.
Do you know the name?
Its not on any platform yet, i belive it going to be called: "not how its supposed to end" @Okeydoke694
absolutely sobbing. Finally hearing Matthew sing (AAAAAAAAAAAA) and the interchange between the lyrics and the dialogue AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA on loop!

just pure goosebumps listening to this.

I want to listen to this song with my soul
Been looking for a post of this somewhere all day!
it truly is a banger
0:07 No Mercy Percy's end comes from the woman he showed mercy to.
Even after seeing the finale this scene still remarkably hits hard.
It was brought up in the campaign but the mirroring of the Briarwoods with this is so tangible.
Mercer absolutely killed this. I hope the future, ‘How Do You, Vox Machina , Want To Do This?’ moment is just as good.
Thank you for posting!! Was looking for this song.
got u brother!
Yeah but whats the song ?? What is the song called

Not how it's supposed to end
By Peter habib@@corinobonero2729
hoping theres a full version they release as a part of the season 3 soundtrack

Thanks m8
I got u homie
Damn you Matt for being so talented. Its not fair😂 on a serious note, we need him to do an album with Peter Habib and Sam. Like im demanding it now
I wanted to be sad so bad…
But this song slapped to DAMN HARD!
This song actually broke me when I heard it.
I FUCKING BALLED DURING THIS SCENE MY HEART BROKE

Hope we get a full length of this song it’s too good

Oh episode 7... the proof of Vox Machina being more than just a good show
I fr want to cry...but i have eork soon...as soon as my shift if over I'll let iy out...
That's two for three seasons ending with an Orthax fight after beating the main Big Bad of the season
need this as a full song fr
Really need an official version of this song.
*H E A R T B R E A K I N G*
Also a sad part is he probably would have killed her if vex didn't ask him stop seeking vengeance
Kaylie’s song in the last ep is a banger
gonna need a full version, asap!
HOLY SHIT THE MUSIC
it has a strong James Bond vibe to it
The song sounds like an old group called queens killing kings
I refuse this
Percy was my top favorite charecter in show by far. I nearly lost my interest to watch rest (maybe just to see how thordak will be gone)
Just to say in the actual campaign Percy comes back to life (I think by Raishan) so hopefully they’ll bring him back by the end of the season.
My guess is that Percy will be brought back either by Raishan/Whispered One necromancy black magic fuckery or the new devil stuff Pike has going on which is how his kids would be eventually tainted by infernal blood.

Dammit, Critical Role
I am praying, hoping that they will bring percy back he was my favorite
oh dang i didn't even notice this when watching. oops
Percy got a James Bond kinda song
They promised this season was gonna be sad 😢
What song is this?? I need it! 😢
3 episodes left, next 2 gonna be dealing with raishan, last better be beating tf out of ripley

How much you all want to bet saving Percy's soul from Orthax will be the hook for season 4?
Season 4 is probably the whispered one
I don’t know why but this song reminds me of the opening song for skyfall

Worst thing about this song is it’s kinda “Randy Newman” like. Like they sing what is happening. Besides that everything about it is fantastic.
Yeah, if they played it over the credits, I would have loved it. Playing it over the scene itself gave me South Park vibes.
@@vishaansingh1019 imagine if it cut to black, the song plays and at its end Vex goes “Don’t leave me”.
Is this a remake of the original "Not how its supposed to end" ? The one i found doesn't hit as hard as this one and the one singing is a woman.
