EPIC: THE UNDERWORLD SAGA!!!! 💀
I love this saga sosossoososososoo much! The three songs are carrying the end of the act and Im so here for it.
The underworld💀
I LOVE THE CALLBACKS TO THE OTHER SONGS!!!! I love it when songs have references to the artists other works and this song itched all the right places. the full spead aheads are just ahhhh
I had told my friend that i hope there was a call back to polites, and i had said that just hearing his musical motif would have been amazing but hearing his voice and jay revealing that those were his final thoughts. I nearly cried when i heard Steven's voice.
Jay including Odysseus's mom nearly had me in tears. And his mom voicing her was amazing. I very much felt like it was the end of majorie by taylor swift with her ending her song with her grandmother's opera.
I think what we're calling the chorus is so beautiful. My favorite part is the nothing's what it seems, specifically when the ensembles voice is first then Ody comes in.
I also loved the "why would you let the cyclops live" part as that melody sounds out of place with the others and i love that the crew come back to haunt Ody
No longer you 😭
Mason did amazing!!! I loved this tango feel of his verses and his voice is beautiful <3
I love how Ody is like we went through so much just to tell us that we're all gonna die??????
The way tiresias opens the song is absolutly wonderful and it is a great way to introduce his voice.
Monster🐉
Ody's opening lyrics are so anguished and angry and im here for it
THE CHORUS! I love the call back to just a man and the change over the act.
What if I'm the one who killed you/Every time I caved to guilt? is probably my favorite line from the chorus
I also loved when Ody talks about the different foes hes faced and how they got over their guilt
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the build up to the end of the song
I loved his little "rap" moment
Loved this saga So much! Can't wait for Act 2!!

you know what’s really sad about “remember them”? by the time odysseus gets back to ithaca all six hundred men will be dead. they’ll have been gone for five years. there’s no way odysseus will remember them all. polites, eurylochus, sure, but not all of them. they will die in vain.

I adore the underworld saga! It's really just so beautifully written. I love the themes of grief throughout. I especially love the song the underworld. That final "all I hear are screams" is so powerful. I'm not sure if my interpretation is correct or unique but I see it as a reflection of the guilt Odysseus feels. Throughout the song you don't actually hear any screaming, not like in the Cyclops saga.
The interaction with the crew that died sounds more like a repetition of what Poseidon was saying in Ruthlessness. It doesn't actually feel like something his men would say. The two other interactions you do see are calm, peaceful. Heart wrenching yes, but not tortured agony. The agony is Odysseus' only and the screams are his own conscience.

Moments in Epic that live in my head rent free (in order cuz i'm cool like that)
"Nestor, secureHelenandprotecther"
"Penelope... Penelope... and Telemachus... I fight for us, I fight for us"
"But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a MONSTER? "
"Forgive me"
"Six hundred men. Six hundred men under my command with only one goal in mind: make it back alive to our homeland"
"We're up, we're off, and away we go!"
"I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart" [rip Polites]
The entirety of "Warrior of the Mind"
"You killed my sheep. My favourite sheep. What gives you this right to deal a pain so deep? Don't you know pain you sow is pain you reap?"
"My name is Nobody, Nobody, Nobody"
"Yes, you shall be the final man to die." "Wh-what? ...WATCH OUT!"
"Six hundred LIIIIVES at stake. It's just one LIIFE to take! And when we kill him then our jouurneyy's oooverrr. No dying OOOON us now. Defeat is NOOOT allowed!"
Like all of "Remember Them" but especially "They will not DII-EY-EYE IN VAIN! Remember them!"
"Who hurts you?" "It was Nobody, Nobody" "If nobody hurts you, be silent." "Don't go!"
"I am the reigning king of Ithaca. I am neither man nor mythical. I am your darkest moment. I am the infamous... ODYSSEUS!"
All of "My Goodbye"
"stOoOoOoOOOoooOoOoOrm!"
"at this rate we won't make it out aliive!"
"How much longer till our luck runs out?"
"you rely on wit, and people die on it, whoa-whoa."
"Hahaha! I am the wind, twisting and turning!"
"keep your friends close and your enemies closer (never really know who you can trust)"
"Everything's changed since Polites" [not the NAMEDROP]
"Just keep your eyes open..."
"Wake up! Wake up, Odysseus, they're open the bag, wake UUUUP!"
"I said to keep the bag closed, but you weren't compliant. If I had to guess, you're headed to the land of the giants!"
"OOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACA! Do you know who I am?"
"but damn, you crossed a liIiIiIne."
"You are the worst kind of good cuz you're NOT EVEN GREAT! A greek who reeks of false righteousness, THAT'S WHAT I HATE!"
"Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves! OURSELVES!"
"Ruthlessness is mercy-" "Die."
"ALL I GOTTA DO IS OPEN THIS BAG" "what."

(also shout out to all the previous "whats" from the ocean saga, we stan a confused king)
come inside -damn- welcome to the best part of your lives
no I'm not a player I'm a puppeteer☝️, no I don't play I puppeteer yeah
*Hermes's giggles>>>>*
someone who's not afraid to... send a message 😘🪽
Hermes??? 😲😲😲
she can conjure up a MONster that'll grind you to the bones, she has all the ways to HAUnt ya
wouldn't you like to have some of the magic? wouldn't you like your outcome preferred? deep in the night, the fight can be tragic, I'll help you conquer her ✨️🕺🪩 (with the added harmonies in the second chorus)
you must consume and digest it then you'll manifest
and I call this root holy 💅 moly 💅 (*Odysseus's aah 🤔*) HAHAHHAHAHHA

Hermes :D thank you don't thank me friend, you very well may die 😃😃 ~good luck~ ✨️

*reversed vocals in the background when Circe talks about the underworld*
or maybe one day the world will need a puppeteer. MOOOOOooOoOOOoooREEE
A lot of emojis for this one, I gotta say I really love it especially Hermes 💚.
Again, thank you for reading.
