Looking at what's likely, Ranboo could be another that's used it. He doesn't know what his other half is, his pearly white, he has a crown so he was, at some point, a king, he has memory loss like Karl, and he uses the smiles in the books, perhaps his Ender wanting to leave, and his Pearl/Aether wanting to stay.

I don't know why but artistically I am obsessed with the part at 2:29!!!! The powerful chorus of voices suddenly coming in with some subtle but gorgeous harmonies, and the tick-tock immediately following the word time (I adore the tick-tock throughout the song, especially with how it pans from side to side). It's just such a cool, powerful moment and I adore it.

I love the way the In Between when it's included almost overpowers the main vocals and is a much higher pitch. On the other hand when the Other Side comes in, it's almost in the background with how low it is and you almost don't notice it's there if you aren't listening for it. Definitely a very good way of telling the story through the actual music

This sounds awesome and the beat behind is sick

Woow. Inbetween parts of the streams always gave me chills and this song did the same. I felt like further in the song more voices started appearing and it symbolised how plot of inbetween got more and more confusing and deep. But I may be wrong. It was very beautiful!!

this is gonna be great, I can feel it

I kind of expected little lines of warning written over the art of the Inbetween, but the way you did it turned out so much better than I expected, have the Other Side parts only at the end (since the first few times he went there he didn't see as much wrong) and how they mostly flipped from the Inbetween lines; "it's all in your imagination/it's not in your imagination", etc. Definitely going to become one of my more commonly listened to DreamSMP songs!

This is definitely one of my favorites of your songs

speedrunning the premier rn edit: 30 SECONDS UNTIL IT PREMIERS edit: it just started and IT’S ALREADY AMAZING edit: OHMYGOD I LOVE THE CHORUS SO MUCH edit: this is so good!! i love the verses and the chorus, the words have a deep meaning behind them. the bridge is awesome! it’s about to end, and you really outdid yourself this time, amanda. this song is amazing! it has deeper meaning behind the lyrics than just “time traveler, forget, not pog” and it tells a story in a hard but not too hard to understand way. i love it! the vocals and instrumental are both amazing, i especially loving the ticking of a clock at the beginning and end of the song.

The Other Side parts are just Very comforting and I cant explain why

Absolutely stunning! Your songs never fail to amaze me

Ok first of all, your added harmonizing voice, and the darker copy of the lyrics under lines like "Let's not have that happen again" is perfect to represent how it's really Karl just repeating the In-Between, that he doesn't really think these things and hay he'd been manipulated and conditioned to beleive it's what's right. You fit so many good lyrics into this song, especially during the second verse, about how the In-Between is gaslighting and threatening Karl, and how he steadily begins to realize he's being used. There's too many to quote!

OH HECK YEAH WE GOT A KARL SONG
