I Desperately Need A Rendition Of “Survive” In Ithaka Saga’s Song “King”. Let Me Hear Odysseus

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Another thought on Epic the Musical, do you want to know one detail that kills me every time?

If you look at the titles of the songs, the ONLY songs that are named after characters are songs that are named after monsters that are trying to slaughter as many people as possible (like Polyphemus, Scylla, and Charybdis). No human character or even any god gets a song named after them, only the monsters do.

But (MINOR SPOILER AHEAD), do you know what song 38 is titled? Odysseus.

Odysseus, the man made monster, who has become something so far from his own humanity that he is counted within the ranks of the terrible monsters that came earlier in the story. Odysseus, who will absolutely be trying to slaughter as many suitors as possible when he returns to Ithaca.

It's such a small detail, but it gets me every time I think about it! Because not only has Odysseus become a monster in the eyes of the other characters, but he has become one in the eyes of THE VERY MUSICAL ITSELF!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!

Late night post: does anyone actually have recommendations on how to draw men? They seem to elude me which is kind of awful. It doesn’t help that I also want to draw Odysseus more.

I was right :)

Not Odysseus’ “Maybe you can learn to forgive” line being in the same melody as “ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves”.

GUYS GALS AND FOLKS INBETWEEN NEW ALBUM ART JUST DROPPED GO CHECK JORGES CHANNEL

FULL SPEED AHEAD MATES

AAAAAAAAAAA

I can only really listen to the first three Ithaca songs in full because the last two absolutely shattered every fiber of my being.

Am I going crazy or does thw beginning of Odysseus’ part in 600 strike sound a bit like the beginning of Athena’s verse in Little Wolf?

Like… “I don’t think you seem to get it” sounds similar to “I’ve no respect for bullies”…

Who knows I guess.

Mates take a pill ever so kindly. The stream has been canceled as confirmed by Jorge. It sucks, but it’s something out of his control. I have a suspicion that everyone screaming “Captain!!!” Will make whatever it is more stressful.

1.Charybdis

2.Dangerous

3.Get in The Water

4.600 Strike

5.Not Sorry for Loving You

Please note I loved every single song, but I need to re listen to them to give proper thoughts
