Jeff Williams - Bad Luck Charm Lyrics






Pain
Is your reward for being near me
Fate
Won't be your friend when I'm around
Blame
Me for the tragedies that follow
Grave
The situations that surround
I'm a harbinger
I cannot lie
I will change the color of your life
I don't mean to bring you pain
But I will
Just why I can't explain

I am no one's blessing
I'll just bring you harm
I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say
I'm your bad luck charm

Shame
Hang my head in constant sorrow
Rain
On every day you need the light
Strain
To see some fortune in tomorrow
Bane
Is what I am to every life
You should trust one thing, take my advice
If you linger close, it's a hefty price
You and I are not the same
You don't want the burden of my name

I am no one's blessing
I'll just bring you harm
I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say, I'm your bad luck charm

A guaranteed catastrophe
A tear that's bound to fall
A sure train wreck
And you'll soon regret
The day I came to call

I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken
Sad to say, I'm your bad luck charm

    i just want to give the poor baby a hug :(( i love him so much

  4. E.... B....

    Qrow needs lots of hugs

  5. s.... a....

    Why are there captions for a lyric video?...

  6. T.... V....

    1:31
    I can't unsee Qrow dancing to this in RWBY Chibi.

  7. E.... K....

    NGL I think Qrow's semblance affected his og voice actor.

  8. E.... W....

    Qrow: im a mirror broken
    Weiss: hey why is my mirror broken?
    Ruby, Yang, and Blake: ...

  9. C.... R....

    So I'm almost certain at this point that qrow is Ruby's father. He says in this "you dont want my name" and I know that jeff has lyrics that hint at future events as foreshadowing that we only realize later. He means you dont want my last name, Branwen because he feels bad for starting off as an assassin. There are many other pieces of hints, like how he talks to yang's dad after the fall of beacon and says "tai, please" as if tai owes him something. He means please just give me a moment with my daughter. Also he and ruby have always been closer than him and yang, plus the resemblance. Ruby looks nothing like tai. I'm pretty sure he was dating summer and tai was dating raven.

  10. J.... T....

    They Gotta Add Qrow Into Cross tag

  11. R.... ....

    I feel like Qrow is low key Ruby's father with Summer Rose.

  12. P.... ....

    i miss monty

  13. D.... ....

    Imo Qrow's theme is my most favorite in the whole series. it just sounds so good, i was hyped when the song came on during the fight but i guess thats just me because uncle Qrow is my favorite in the series

  14. S.... T....

    Regardless of cursed he is, he's still hot af

  15. G.... G....

    QROW HAS A BOYFRIEND!

  16. S.... I....

    What do you think when he says “you and I are not the same” “ you don’t want the burden of my name”

    S.... I....

    Crows are a sign of bad luck, his nickname Qrow is a reference to his semblance, which is misfortune, he brings bad luck to all those around him including himself. Because of this he can't team up with fellow hunters in fights, cause his semblance is likely to get comrades killed. He is also avoided by others because of semblance. That's the burden of his name. He's not the same as other hunters because they're all about teamwork and whatever, and that for obvious reasons doesn't work for him.

    The idea that Qrow's semblance may of been responsible for Ruby's mother's death has also been thrown around as further explanation for his drinking and general depression. He does kinda carry an aura of guilt around him.

  17. C.... ....

    Ironwood: Qrow, now might be a good time to get drunk
    Qrow: that's my secret general, I'm always drunk

  18. w.... ....

    Clover: My Semblance is good luck
    Qrow: REEEEEEEEEE-

  19. L.... i....

    Honestly I’m going to cry myself to sleep if Qrow dies

  20. M.... G....

    1:33 Albatross? What does that have to do with bad luck?

    M.... G....

    Sailor supertition i think

    M.... G....

    @Lynel K.F Cool.

    M.... G....

    MEG G it’s a reference to The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. The poem states that a sailor who kills an albatross, seen as bringers of good luck since they fly on favorable winds, will receive only bad luck on him and his crew.

    M.... G....

    @LordManda2 Oh, that makes sense!

  21. M.... T....

    qrow semblance is bad luck so that means when qrow gets near to his loved ones they'll get a bad luck
    so that means summer dies because of his semblance? or because of the enemy

    M.... T....

    +If that wete his sister would have fied years ago.

  22. L.... i....

    Bro why did you have to make him so hot in this 🥵

  23. s.... ....

    the angst in this song is real

  24. S.... O....

    Oh wow i hope not...

    Birden my name *Badam tss*

  25. E.... ....

    My boy didn't deserve this in 2019

  26. J.... A....

    Can’t hear this without picturing Qrow fighting Tyrian

  27. j.... b....

    *D O Y O U W I S H T O B E T A K E N ? ! ?*

  28. X.... G....

    When your running down the stairs and you trip and fall on your face
    0:40

    Thanks for the 2 likes 🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏿

    X.... G....

    Yay thx for the like

  29. S.... W....

    Just a thought: What if Summer was the Spring Maiden before Raven? What if Raven is the one who killed Summer to claim the maiden powers and left before Qrow could see, so Qrow blamed himself and his semblance for Summers death. I think this would tie in well with the "Qrow is Ruby's Father" theory quite well, seeing as it was probably when Ruby was about two or three. Myself, I can't remember before I was five, so I'm basing my belief that Qrow is actually Ruby's dad on that.
    During Yang's story to Blake about her search for Raven, she said that Ruby was a toddler at the time. Think- Yang is only two years older than Ruby, meaning if Ruby was two or three, Yang was four or five. It would be easy to have them grow up thinking they were actually sisters.

    I will be quite disappointed in CRWBY if this is proven false! But then again, this is just my brain obsessing about a badass cartoon. L8r, y'all!

    S.... W....

    No...it is very, very clear through discussion of the maidens between the characters thatbit was most definitely not Summer.

  30. G.... H....

    I would love to know what TaiYangs semblance is

  31. G.... H....

    Qrow Bronwyn is my favorite character in RWBY

    G.... H....

    @Gregory Hutton VIc isnt voicing Qrow anymore. Roosterteeth cut ties with him during the whole Vic sexual harassment accusation thingy

    G.... H....

    @Ms. I Love Big Bear Cats I know he doesn't voice qrow now but didnt know before watching first episode of vol 7 seven thats why I didnt notice but a slight difference until now. I'm also sticking to my opinion that since Vic voiced Qrow all the way from volume Three to end of volume six he will always be the original Qrow Bran wen just like he will always be Edward Elric imo

    G.... H....

    @Gregory Hutton I mean, I do prefer his old voice over the new one. So ye. Also: Havent seen FMA yet and even then, I wouldnt know since Im a sub only girl xD

    G.... H....

    @Ms. I Love Big Bear Cats this is only a suggestion but try the dub and then you'll hear it from my side. I'm a slow reader when it comes to subtitles so thats why Im only able to watch the dubs cuz itherwise it pause play pause play all the time to know what they're saying. Plus FMA and FMAB aren't two different seasons their two Points of view of the same storyline. I found out the hard way. So basically if you want the whole story watch FMA first then watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

    G.... H....

    @Gregory Hutton Well, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

  32. M.... K....

    fyi: albatross is the kind of bird that lives for 42 years...guess what age qrow is.....

  33. M.... K....

    me playing wot/gacha games:
    this song:

  34. W.... P....

    Is it just me, or is this super relatable

  35. Y.... B....

    Shame the new voice actor is shit, rip vic man. I want him back so bad

  36. M.... S....

    He can be my bad luck charm if get my drift 😏🥰

  37. B.... J....

    2:19 I actually think Qrow *could* be Rubys dad, it is the one theory I can belive might be real. Or at least they intended for people to think that without making it so. Or maybe Qrow had a romance with Summer before she got togheter with Thai.

    Both could explain why Thai and Qrow don't seem to get along to well.

  38. N.... R....

    Nowadays I understand and relate to Qrow alot more..

  39. R.... L....

    ...... ok i never realized how much i relate to and like Qrow until i herd this song.....

  40. J.... D....

    Hey Qrow cheer up, I know a way you can use your semblance for good. When big sporting events happen, bet a small amount of money on something, then have a friend who stays away from for the time being bet on the exact opposite of what you bet, then split the cash when they win. Genius!

    J.... D....

    All team members get to sick to play or break a leg/arm

  41. c.... ....

    Is it just me or does the beginning sound alot like Halo Reach?

  42. L.... R....

    Wait so if I have alot of bad luck?.....QROW WHERE ARE YOU!!?!? Or if i just have bad luck does that mean that if Qrow and I get married we will have good luck because two negatives make a positive?

  43. s.... ....

    Qrow's semblance is about the worst to have, but it should be noted that all that bad luck only increased the challenge for him, making him only stronger for it. And since he joined Team RNJR, made them all the better, as well. At this point, Salem should be no problem by the time they come up against her.


    I'd also like to point out that he is Hunter Enemy Number One on Salem's list. Which means his bad luck and strength has worked against her and her minions.

  44. S.... G....

    Qrow might just have the most edgy Stand Power and name

  45. M.... S....

    Does anyone else hear Let's Just Live right here?! 3:29
    "Move onward not there yet so let's just live"

  46. B.... B....

    "You don't get it Ruby. HE TURNED ME INTO A BIIIIIIRD!"

  47. E.... ....

    Here listening to my theme song...

  48. m.... ....

    Poor Qrow. Know why he's single? Imagine if every date you went on, some horribly embarrassing accident occured.

  49. T.... G....

    I get jojo vibes from this drawing

  50. P.... G....

    _It's just like she said..._
    _That monster has taken your power._
    _And with it, your very life._
    _But with the power she gave me, you'll get it all back..._
    _And so much more._
    _Finally we'll be truly together forever..._
    _...My dear sister._

  51. F.... d....

    who else thinks that Qrow is Ruby's............uncle

  52. D.... G....

    The way he sung "I am no one's blessing" hit me hard yo.

  53. S.... P....

    First off: Qrow's bad luck aura extends into real life

    Second: I like this works on both levels. It's not just a warning to people getting close to him but one to his enemies as well.

  54. M.... M....

    OMG, it's a Qrow theme! FINALLY! A theme for the mysterious, poorly rewarded, epicly voiced, Qrow Branwen! Oi, and it's even got a sad and angry tune and sad and angry lyrics.


    Volume 5+: Haha, teaser! We're gonna make Qrow a drunk, useless uncle who doesn't know anything and is just there for looks, not to mention we're gonna give him a new, rougher voice so you get annoyed!

    Jeff: Okay. I can make a song as depressing and rough as that.

  55. J.... H....

    Winter: Qrow was drunk

    Glynda goodwitch: He always drunk

    Qrow: .........

  56. y.... a....

    this is still my favorite song overall

  57. N.... ....

    I really like the theory that someone had that Qrow's bad luck semblance is actually just dependent on his state of mind, that his negativity feeds into his semblance. So the theory goes that if he were to become more of a positive person with a brighter outlook on life, his semblance would flip to good luck. Probably not the case but it would make an interesting fanfic

  58. K.... C....

    2:23 I really hope he actually is Rubys real father like the theories say lmao

    I also hope Qrow somehow finds a way to stop his semblance or something so he can be with friends and family

  59. C.... W....

    I’m your dad ruby Noooooooooooooooooo uses silver eyes

  60. A.... 0....

    There was a time I wanted to be like Qrow...then I was alone and drinking for many nights, away from family that missed me. This song would always hit me so hard back then

  61. -.... Q....

    ...every time I see a theme for a RWBY character I get another thought that they themselves wrote the lyrics
    Like I see RT putting them in a room alone and telling them to write what you were feeling/thinking when this happened or when you went through this, then RT leaves them by themselves to write

  62. s.... w....

    Yeah that qrow for ya

  63. s.... ....

    Qrow, you useless ass, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get your shit together we've got a world to save.

    s.... ....

    shingshongshamalama stfu, why you got to be so rude to my baby😡😭

  64. G.... ....

    Supongo que soy el único comentario en español de acá ;'v

    G.... ....

    Hola....

  65. L.... ....

    Ever heard of a "blessing in disguise" *wink wink nudge nudge*

  66. S.... J....

    I just hope that Qrow is actually Ruby's father..

    S.... J....

    Miles Luna confirmed he isn’t her actual father. Ruby just idolizes Qrow so much to the point of imitating his aspect

  67. K.... W....

    My poor husbando

  68. A.... 9....

    This is me when I'm sad

  69. W.... K....

    That fanart looks more like The Outsider than Qrow...

  70. B.... l....

    ...
    WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR
    EARLY IN THE MORNING?!!

  71. M.... ....

    Look at 2:22 and pause it proved crow is Ruby’s father

    M.... ....

    Uh, no, no it didn't.

    M.... ....

    Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series lol, it’s a theory that he’s talking about Ruby.

    M.... ....

    This does not really prove that Qrow is Ruby Rose's father. The song is basically saying that NO ONE wants the burden of the name Qrow Branwen. The song is not just talking Ruby but everybody.

  72. F.... D....

    Inb4 we hear this in BBTAG

  73. M.... K....

    If Qrow was a servant in fgo , he would be a lancer even if he uses a sword

  74. T.... ....

    Is he talking bout Ruby during the "you don't want the burden of my name" part? Is Qrow her real dad? *tin foil hat*

    T.... ....

    Maybe it's reference to Summer? Maybe Qrow didn't want to bring harm to her

    T.... ....

    The song is actually saying NOBODY wants the burden of Qrow Branwen's name. Friends,family basically any and everybody. I don't think that part in the song wasn't actually just referring to Ruby or Summer Rose specifically. And I don't know why there seems to be this theory that Qrow is actually her father and not Tai Yang instead for some reason.

  75. D.... K....

    Pressing F thrice.
    Once for Monty
    Twice for the series in general. (without Monty, shit got stale)
    Third time's for Qrow. (Fucking SJWs who write this crap nowadays kicked Vic off the cast)

    D.... K....

    To be honest,after the #kickvic deal. I hit the F button for RoosterTeeth. But it wasn't actually to pay respect for them though,if you catch my meaning. I also did the same thing to Funimation as well. And you were right,RWBY just pretty much went down the crapper after Monty Oum died. And I also don't think anybody can ever really replace Vic M. as the VA for Qrow Branwen. I just can't see it happening.

  76. F.... 7....

    If I had a semblance, it would be Qrow's. Im not even joking. Once I went to my friend's house and the moment I walked in, the power went out. And I'm actually serious

  77. M.... K....

    Why is this song me?

  78. T.... g....

    i played this song while taking a walk today, immediately a crow starts cawing.

  79. M.... H....

    Me and Qrow are almost just alike, I'm cursed for life.

  80. S.... M....

    this is the best theme song because it actually reads like something qrow would write in his diary

  81. �.... ....

    I love how it says “ A sure train wreck”
    And they actually experience a train wreck later in the show

  82. W.... R....

    Yang: "Hey Ruby, what would you call our uncle if he was an archer?"
    Ruby: "An even greater danger to himself and others?"
    Yang: "Well... I was gonna say Qrow and Arrow..."

  83. A.... S....

    Whenever I hear "You and I are not the same, You don't want the burden of my name" I either think of it as Qrow being Ruby's father.
    Cause fuck you im one of those people.
    Or that Qrow realises how much Ruby looks up to him and kinda wishes she didn't

    A.... S....

    I had this headcanon that maybe Summer really wanted to have a child but Qrow (despite fact that he loved her) didn't want because he feared that his bad luck would fuck up the child somehow, bruh idk

  84. G.... F....

    How many Remixes of Bad luck Charm are there?








    Maybe like 3939399492758502257025620268025702702257520725072578025027050825028025807250250752085082502582502580257024702470527025802575280258025757025714072057520258058025852702250250258025805017510750725802850850250752258025702570774194170157072507572527075570517510257015707147047052802580358520729474292497/972469146914691394704275788777779174191491497179149714696659527529725971497470147047044655556979570447140725077140734444494194794171501407140714071407417933333379521507419714074102222229155171507105751071111119614294740741714074725075200000007157057047257052702570205725072507207258015701705225825862925862936960368148628293685863935725882682686282725868628639479268520715072072575702572507257025072570527027025702552072507520725075207205825085072570510752702570257025805285275207520750157074107147051075191

  85. K.... J....

    what if you played the pronoun game and made the song about someone but also say sad to say youre my bad luck charm instead. Yep I'm redoing the lyrics to fit that idea rn. Btw if anyone has made a song based on this idea just point me in their direction so I can hear it pls

    PAIN Is my reward for being near you. FATE won't be my friend when you're around. BLAME you for the tragedy that follows. GRAVE the situations that surround. You're a harbinger I cannot lie You will change the color of my life. You don't mean to bring me pain but you will just why I can't explain. YOU"RE ONLY MY BLESSING You'll just bring me harm. You're a cursed black cat. You're an albatross. You're a mirror broken. SAD TO SAY YOU"RE MY BAD LUCK CHARM. SHAME You hang you're head in constant sorrow. RAIN on every day you need the light. STRAIN to see some fortune in tomorrow. BANE is what you are to every life. I'll trust one thing take your advice if I linger close it's a hefty price YOU AND I ARE NOT THE SAME BUT I WANT THE BURDEN OF YOUR NAME. You're only my blessing. You'll just bring me harm.

  86. M.... j....

    So Qrow can’t always be with his family because of his semblance but Raven’s lets her be with them anytime she wants and she doesn’t even care about them. Talk about being short ended

  87. B.... ....

    I just realized that this is the song in the background when they fight Tyrian I think

  88. N.... ....

    I love The Art For Qrow Though His Neck Is So Beefy :)

  89. A.... Z....

    I'm so ready for Season 7. The story for sure but mostly just for more great jams.

    A.... Z....

    Alex Zimmerschied sadly it won’t be the same without Vic💔💔💔

    A.... Z....

    @Emmalyn Gomez Have to agree with you there. Jason is a highly skilled voice actor but after his one line in the trailer that just dropped a couple hours ago, it almost sounds like he's trying hard to make the Qrow voice.

    A.... Z....

    Alex Zimmerschied I was scared but I think Jason’s going to be ok now that I’ve heard him voice acting Qrow. I don’t want to speak to soon though, it was only one line after all. But needless to say, I think Jason’s is second best for Qrow and I’m hopeful that he’ll do great😁

  90. D.... M....

    It honestly just makes sense to me that qrow is Ruby’s father, the burden of my name line only really seems to fit in with ruby or summer but this song seems to be focusing on the present or the near future. Secondly ruby has literally no resemblance to tai, from characters that we’ve seen their parents they have taken traits from both whereas for ruby it only seems to be summer unless she gets her black hair from qrow. Then in volume 3 there is the circle of a drink glass around summer and tears on the picture which seems to me as though the tears could only be about summer. Also the weapon and character designs of the two are incredibly similar whereas Yangs style looks more like tai, also Qrow follows ruby I think in every volume however has never been seen to do this with yang even though they should be closer related because if raven. I just feel that it would be too many similarities between Qrow and ruby for it to be a coincidence

  91. C.... J....

    BBTag material

  92. S.... C....

    I'm like a Mini Qrow In real life, EXCEPT the bad luck only effects me 😂

    S.... C....

    Me too, well, and Friends but rarely

  93. G.... 1....

    Oh man summers death probably hit him the hardest he promised to take care of ruby so badly he drinks because of summer probably he just wants to die and be with her but he also cant leave ruby behind..

    G.... 1....

    🤔Now imagine here for just a minute,that Qrow Branwen is actually NOT immune to his own semblance of misfortune. What could actually be a bigger misfortune than to actually manage to live long enough that Qrow actually had to watch EVERYONE he was EVER close to and cared for. Just die and then live on a LOT longer after they all died? With some of those deaths actually being caused by him as well. And after experiencing all of that,all Qrow longed for was the release of death. That the biggest misfortune that he thought that he could actually experience at this point,was to just keep on living. Now imagine for a minute that Qrow's semblance backfired on him MAJOR league and that all of this actually happened to him. And that EVERY chance that he actually had to die,his misfortune kicked in and actually KEPT him from dying. His misfortune was actually KEEPING him from dying,LONG after he should have actually died. And even him trying to commit suicide would have ended in failure every time that he would have ever tried to do,because if his misfortune as well. Now THAT would truly be a grave misfortune. Wanting to just die after witnessing all of that horrible tragedy and being unable to do so. And in that case,Qrow really would have earned the title of him being a "Bad Luck Charm."

  94. N.... M....

    Well I feel so sad! Qrow is my second favorite character after Yang..... and I really, really want to help lol
    If there have been another character who's semblance is the opposite of Qrow's.. like a good luck charm! By being together, none of them would make any difference! I don't know if I'm making a point.. but well! Cheer up Qrow! We love you ♡♥

  95. S.... W....

    See ya later kid..

    S.... W....

    Cmon sniff

    S.... W....

    I'm glad someone got that

  96. C.... P....

    This song supports a headcanon i had thought up awhile back when we heard about tai and his reaction to summer. Qrow being like a fatherfigure and ruby at that state wishing he was since he taught her so much. Mainly with the "You don't want the burden of my name."

    @Mr. Chaos Vicious I know that but, it could totally fit for it. I just could see it being a thing and seeing how they refuse to give us literally any information on ruby's past other than the one little snippit with yangs story we have no way of knowing.

    @Christoper Putt I do think that I actually have a few ways that Qrow could actually solve the issue of his semblance though. So that he could actually have a family and be around people and his loved ones again. Without him or anybody else ever having to worry that he is causing them misfortune/bad luck.

    @Mr. Chaos Vicious the problem is that its only used when its convienient for the show. How did he ride on the ship without causing something to break when that table in volume 5 broke on him. If they want to run that narrative that he stays away because of misfortune they need to be consistent.

    Did anyone else get Halo reach flashbacks from the intro

    To Jason who will be the replacement for Qrow, good luck. Oh wait, that's bad luck to say that, right? If it is, whoopsie.

    To me no one does it better than the original Vince

    Lima Longkumer Rooster Teeth broke my heart when they fired him💔💔💔

    I wonder what would happen if Qrow went up against someone with a semblance similar to Spider-Man’s Spidy-Sense? Like, the bad luck would still happen but their semblance would warn them of what and where the danger is and they avoid it.
