This sounds both tragic and foreboding. As if the lyrics was telling this man's sad story and yet is warning us because he is broken, something dangerous about his presence.
hes absolutely broken, he came back from the horrors of world war 1, especially what he did... fighting in the tunnels. He is already a dead man walking he wages a war against the world, And just against himself too.
I was sleeping it's 6 a.m. in New York when my phone gave me notification once I saw that it was Kathleen I grabbed the phone and put it on and listened what a way to wake up thank you Kathleen as always💝👍
Okay but the fact that I am inspired artistically by your songs just by reading your lyrics,not even LISTENING to the actual song has reached the point of ridiculousness😭😂💞 Keep inspiring me/us Queen don't you ever stop what you're doing👑👑💞💞
And the part... "And like a ghost, her eyes were open." Have some connections with the Wraith. "And he felt like a different man when she sang to the boy already broken." Could pertain to the part where he said that he felt like a boy again who believed in magic whenever he hears her laugh.
Stunning. So beautiful (as are all your songs!) It’s wild, I rewatched the “already broken” scene randomly this morning and then this masterpiece showed up. Thank you so much for your incredible music. “They say he felt a moment of Grace”… ow my heart!! x
I love that your Patreons get to hear you sing the beautiful lyrics you always add here, while we wait for the premier. The lyrics are powerful on plain "paper", but they are nothing compared to the sound of you singing this beautiful song with the piano and strings added.
There's a writing challenge where we can use any song we want to inspire a story, only we have to use every luroc in the song in the story. And I been watching so much criminal minds that this gives the perfect idea
So I here I was scrolling through social media, when alas it was time to get ready for the day. But THEN 👀 I saw that a new song from you is premiering... I was a few minutes behind my daily routine but it was totally worth it 😆
This is absolutely amazing!🤩 I get the chills from listening to the "already broken" part, because you have captured Tommy Shelby in a way I've not even heard before. 💔 I hope Cillian Murphy hears this and Steven Knight. Well done! 👏🏻
So lovely!!! I only started watching Peaky Blinders years ago after listening to Walk with the Devil so so glad to see another new song for the fandom :)
Such deeply haunting words, how can so few words create such strong images in our minds. Karliene, again you bring us to our knees with your amazing vocals. 💖
Amazing, wonderful, incredibly fitting for this amazing character! Peaky Blinders is such an underrated show, it is very popular in UK but in the US people don't really know that much about this amazing show which is, in my personal opinion, the best tv show on air right now! As for Karliene she is also very, VERY UNDERRATED! She's got the voice of an Angel and all of her work has been phenomenal! It boggles my mind that Karliene is not super famous while hacks like Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and Kesha are mega famous for some weird reason. This video deserves AT LEAST 10 million views and Karliene should have like 100,000,000 subscribers! This song is perfection thank you for this!
Your music helps me write my own stories Thank you so much my friend It means a lot to have found you 4 years ago You’ve helped me through a lot with your art💖🤟
I love this so much, and I haven't even watched the show. Your lyrics and your music are truly magical in whatever you do, and it's always so reassuring and warming to hear your divine voice on a new song!
Another lovely song! You are so talented! I would absolutely love to hear your renditions of Death and the Lady, and Savage Daughter. Looking forward to more! Thank you!
You sound amazing as always, Karliene! Another great original. You have such a beautiful gift for writing songs, thank you so much for sharing it with us! =D
Absolutely beautiful. Even though i've never seen the series, only clips on youtube, i still think this captures Thomas Shelby 100% perfectly. You can almost see/hear his story in the text, what he's been through and what he's going through
Very nice. Another great song to add to my playlist. When I heard this I had to listen to it a few times over and over, I love songs that relate purely to my life and what I feel inside. As a LONE WOLF, I learn to deal with everything on my own and Music is my way to escape. Thanks for another great song. 👍
Listened to this when it first came out before nowing the show. I just finished season one in one day thanks to this...I'm scared of the fuck storm ahead
Your music is always good... like without fail your music is always art and always profound and always beautiful... But this is somehow even more so than usual. I don't watch the show, I don't know the character, I have no connection or relation to any of this lore and yet I felt every note and every word in every bone. This transcends this character/story in a way that everyone else can relate to it as well and that is truly amazing. The music is gorgeous and the lyrics are ingenious and painfully beautiful. I think this is my favorite thing you've ever put out - I am in absolute love.
I love that not even knowing the story this is inspired by, this song is still so evocative. It made me think of one of my characters. Catching up with my dad (I don’t see him much now since my mother died a few months ago; he had to put aside so much non-essential work) today, I showed him this song. He didn’t just listen to the first verse and chorus like he might sometimes, but the whole thing, and said, “She’s like a siren; that’s quite a spell.” He seemed so calm and intent on it, and considering how he’s been lately, that’s saying something. I’m trying to pick writing back up; my Mom wanted me to get published. My last writing convention I got an offer for representation by an agent. But it feels… weird without her. She was always my first call, my first beta reader, my biggest cheerleader. But she always said my characters deserved to have their lives on paper, so no matter what happens to me in the end (I don’t enjoy good health), they can exist and their legends can grow. I’m trying to write tonight, and have it set up so I can stay up all night to write (my most effective writing habit), and have been relistening to this to get into the chapter I need to work on next. I’ve envisioned it for 18 years and now I finally get to write it. Become the Beast is the theme song for my villain, lol, and now the anti-hero has this. Return to Oz has the sad but defiant *feel* of my main character. 😅 I also play The Gloom EP on my keyboard at least once a week. The Dawn is one of the most impactful songs I’ve ever ever heard. Your work is really… you have a special talent, and I’m happy you’re using it. It’s much appreciated. You’re much appreciated. Keep that light shining. Edit: My father’s also classically trained, and he loved the use of strings to make it almost a duet or a call and response in the song, sometimes in counterpoint to the piano. That and your use of vocal dynamics…. He really enjoyed them. He actually closed his eyes on the repeating parts to more fully listen. Usually sad songs aren’t his jam, but he WILL listen, when It’s art. Just wanted to add that.
I’m three years late reading and replying to this, but I couldn’t let it go without telling you how much your words truly mean to me. I’m deeply touched and humbled that my music has resonated with you and your dad. Knowing that it’s had such an impact on your lives genuinely means the world to me. I hope you’re still writing and that your work is flourishing-I’d love to see where your creativity has taken you. Wishing you and your family all the happiness and success in 2025. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being such an incredible supporter of my work. It means more than you know.
Girl I literally had tears streaming down my eyes when I heard it on Spotify. I hope Cillian Murphy and the creators of the show have heard it, some one needs to send it to them
So moving. I love your voice, so pure, and each of your songs. It always touches me right in my heart and soul. Whatever mood I feel, I know it'll get better after listening to you. So thank you . (Belgium)
Listening to this astounding music and storytelling in song form has helped me push past writers block I've had for about two years. During such a time I've struggled trying to find inspiration to continue my private story I've been piecing together over the past six years. That spark of inspiration has once again been lit and I'm already making good progress! Keep up the great work my friend! Your an inspiration to all!
Girl... That's amazing. I'm... Trashed, crushed, destroyed - in a positive manner of course. I've been devoured by your talent from the first song I've heard (We're the devils) and I knew it from the start: yup, she's my playlist ❤️ And if they would make another season, or an episode, THIS song should be the ending song, I can imagine no better or more suitable one... 🖤
I just started watching this show recently. I found your channel through Miracle of Sound (Lilac & Violets) and this immediately caught my eye. This is amazing! There's a haunting beauty that ensnares you immediately. Well done
I love your voice and your music soooo much 😍😍😍 Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us 😘💝💝💝💝💝😘 I hope you will come to northern Germany one day...😍😍😍😍😍
I LOVE THIS SONG. THE WAY IT DESCRIBES PTSD AND THE SCARS A SOLDIER FROM WAR WILL ALWAYS CARRY. IT TURLY MAKES MY SOUL CRY.
❤
This sounds both tragic and foreboding. As if the lyrics was telling this man's sad story and yet is warning us because he is broken, something dangerous about his presence.
hes absolutely broken, he came back from the horrors of world war 1, especially what he did... fighting in the tunnels. He is already a dead man walking he wages a war against the world, And just against himself too.
"never contend with a man who has nothing to loss"
Not every villain is a tragedy's result. But many are. It doesn't make them any less evil. It doesn't justify their actions.
This song should hit the top.
By the order of the Peaky blinders.
I was sleeping it's 6 a.m. in New York when my phone gave me notification once I saw that it was Kathleen I grabbed the phone and put it on and listened what a way to wake up thank you Kathleen as always💝👍
Karlienne never disappoints. Good to see that trend isn't after breaking, I got chills all the way through to the end
Your voice just makes whatever is going wrong RIGHT thank you for your music.
Okay but the fact that I am inspired artistically by your songs just by reading your lyrics,not even LISTENING to the actual song has reached the point of ridiculousness😭😂💞 Keep inspiring me/us Queen don't you ever stop what you're doing👑👑💞💞
Karliene really is incredible! I literally just had a new idea for one of my OC's just now, listening to this song haha
@@CelticBotansDigitalArt Oh my I know how you feel, she inspires us so easily, like a fairy!💗
Agree:3
I agree with you I'm inspired
Same, this song actually inspired a prologue for a novel I'm working on. :)
"a moment of Grace"...with a capital G T.T thank you for another beautiful song, karliene!
To the world's greatest bard, you nailed it again.
Well now the world knows what it's like to be a shadow of a man , the man you thought you would be. This is what its like daily living with myself
Every time Karline drops a song and it's PERFECT for that one character on that one book/game 😩😩😩🙏🙏🙏
She's not on the top. She IS the top !
I couldn't emotionally handle Tommy dying, but if he does, this song should close out the series 😭🙌🏻
Oh wow, this was amazing. The lyrics were so deep and really reflect Tommy. The part about Grace, oooh. It's like her ghost was here. Chills. ❤️
We all have a crush on this man but Karliene has priority and talent to back it up absolute QUEEN
This could also be a Dean Winchester fan song
the upper half would fit perfectly
This song fits Kaz from Six of Crows quite well!
YESS
As i read about kaz i just imaged Thommas shelby...
And the part...
"And like a ghost, her eyes were open." Have some connections with the Wraith.
"And he felt like a different man when she sang to the boy already broken." Could pertain to the part where he said that he felt like a boy again who believed in magic whenever he hears her laugh.
We all know that if you like one you'll like the other😄 traumatised morally-grey characters are just the best😎👌
Karliene, your songs are always a masterpiece to listen to over and over! You always manage to capture different emotions no matter the subject.
Stunning. So beautiful (as are all your songs!) It’s wild, I rewatched the “already broken” scene randomly this morning and then this masterpiece showed up. Thank you so much for your incredible music. “They say he felt a moment of Grace”… ow my heart!! x

Can't wait. Love your videos and peaky blinders
They really ought to feature this in the show, because it is THAT perfect
Describes trauma and ptsd very well makes me cry
This is absolutely amazing!🤩
I get the chills from listening to the "already broken" part, because you have captured Tommy Shelby in a way I've not even heard before. 💔
I hope Cillian Murphy hears this and Steven Knight. Well done! 👏🏻
Dear gods, I got chills!
You, my friend, is a true master of your art! :)
So lovely!!! I only started watching Peaky Blinders years ago after listening to Walk with the Devil so so glad to see another new song for the fandom :)
It’s a beautiful song with a powerful story and a hopeful ending. I believe you captured the motion behind the words and convey them perfectly.
What an absolutely sensational song! Lyrics and music are outstanding and moving!
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT?? I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH TOMMY ALL OVER AGAIN
Blown away as always. Absolutely stunning song. Dropped everything to catch the premier and it was worth it ❤❤❤
Such deeply haunting words, how can so few words create such strong images in our minds.
Karliene, again you bring us to our knees with your amazing vocals. 💖

Tgis song was the reason I started watching the show in the first place. After watching it I love the song even more. Great work!
Your music helps me write my own stories
Thank you so much my friend
It means a lot to have found you 4 years ago
You’ve helped me through a lot with your art💖🤟
I love this so much, and I haven't even watched the show. Your lyrics and your music are truly magical in whatever you do, and it's always so reassuring and warming to hear your divine voice on a new song!
This gave me chills - absolutely stunning. Your voice, your words - they resonate.
Thank you so much for sharing your music, you are an inspiration.
Possibly, one of your best. The melody and the lyrics are flawless. Thank you, Karliene, for this peaceful bliss in the form of a song.
Your sound has a something from heaven or you are the heaven itself, I can feel it easily .
What beautiful lyrics.
Thomas Shelby's life in song.
Thank you for waking me up to this masterpiece Karline 🖤🖤🖤
Another lovely song! You are so talented!
I would absolutely love to hear your renditions of Death and the Lady, and Savage Daughter. Looking forward to more! Thank you!
You sound amazing as always, Karliene! Another great original. You have such a beautiful gift for writing songs, thank you so much for sharing it with us! =D
I am absolutely thrilled beyond measure! Karliene my Queen, I can't wait!
You did it yet again. Love your voice and songs.
Oh My Gosh! This is so great! And the last bit....chills! You are so talented!
This is so much 😭😭 omg
Just amazing!
this song made me cry, just out of nowhere. not many things can do that
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for this little gem.
I'm broken and I can't stop listening to this
It just hits home
Absolutely beautiful. Even though i've never seen the series, only clips on youtube, i still think this captures Thomas Shelby 100% perfectly.
You can almost see/hear his story in the text, what he's been through and what he's going through

Okay. Literally the best song you've ever written.
WOW, thats another great song! Thx for it!
Another amazing song! No matter how I'm feeling, your music always makes me feel better and inspires me.
Those lyrics are on another level. They literally pierce the soul.
I've never felt a deeper song like telling my own story I haven't cried tears like this in years this song is my life
Listened to this when it first came out before nowing the show. I just finished season one in one day thanks to this...I'm scared of the fuck storm ahead
I dearly wait for all your fan songs and this aint any different
Thank you so much for this ❤️
Started to watch the show becuase of this song and man it catches the character like it was the same man's skin.
Your music is always good... like without fail your music is always art and always profound and always beautiful...
But this is somehow even more so than usual.

This song is a real piece of art... And it perfectly suits this amazing character, that goes without saying.
Greetings from France!
Your songs helped me going through a hard time in my life, I'm so grateful and so happy that you exist thank you so mutch ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Haunting and sad story but wonderfully done by Karliene ❤️👍🙏
I've never watched a second of Peaky Blinders and I'm absolutely hooked on this song.
Girl I literally had tears streaming down my eyes when I heard it on Spotify. I hope Cillian Murphy and the creators of the show have heard it, some one needs to send it to them
So moving. I love your voice, so pure, and each of your songs. It always touches me right in my heart and soul. Whatever mood I feel, I know it'll get better after listening to you. So thank you . (Belgium)
Your voice is beautiful as always. Loving this new song!

Thank you sister for making this song this is the first time I heard it and without looking at the lyrics I already knew the words
Absolutely beautiful
My new fav artist. All your songs hit different for me. Listening over and over to all your songs. love it.

Wow. This song really gives me powerful Dr. Who vibes. It really exemplifies the Doctor from 10 through 12.
Awesome tune Karliene...well written, well done! to the point...
Wonderful song and sing. Thank you very much, Karliene. 🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖🌹💖
