No Longer You has won! Now to vote on the other sagas, and then we can fact the winning songs off against each other!

Which Underworld Saga song is your favorite?

I think I know the answer, but I still have to ask-

This is also the first part in a much bigger poll, I’ll ask you guys about each individual saga, and then do polls for all of the other sagas, and then take the favorite songs and put them against eachother to get the best song of Act 1!!!

The fact that both Penelope and Anticlea were waiting for Odysseus, they sang with longing, waiting, no matter how long it would take before he came back home. Only one will ever see him return back home, and even then he is a changed man, he’s no longer the same-

Can we talk about how amazing Jorge’s mom can sing? Cause not only was it a heartbreaking moment, but her voice is so pretty too?!

Hi! First of all I love your blog!! I’ve been relisrening to Epic like all day today with the Underworld Saga release(AMAZING) and idk if I’m slow on the uptake or whatever but I wonder if what Eurylochus wanted to confess is that he told the crew to open the bag of winds? The prophet gave me vibes he’s the one who’s going to betray Odysseus

You are almost right! Although we will never really know what Eurylochus was going to say, I don’t think it was a matter of the bag of winds. I think it was more so going to be a comment on Odysseus’ leadership style? I think this because later in song 24, which is called Mutiny, Eurylochus will lead a mutiny against Odysseus, because he doesn’t agree with how Odysseus is handling the battle of philosophy’s that he is going through. We also can pretty much assume that is what Tiresias is referring to also!!

Have you made animatic?

I have not! I really want to though! I have drafts and plans for songs like Ruthlessness, Scylla, and Wouldn’t You Like, but the problem is I don’t get have a good program to create them on! If anyone has any good recommendations I would love to hear it though!!

I have thoughts. So many thoughts. First when Anticlea (Ody’s mom showed up) that was so cool and emotional and I literally felt my heart break a little when I heard Ody go “I took too long.” I think I also heard a viola in Monster 👀👀

Yes!!! I heard the waiting, and for a split second I panicked thinking about when Penelope sings Waiting, and then I realized it was his mom-

Ooo, a viola you say… :)

Jay, checking the reactions after releasing the Underworld Saga, specifically The Underworld: All I hear are screams.

[epicthemusicalstuff]

What's your favorite song from Act 1?

I’m still deciding- right now The Underworld has a death grip on me, but that might just be because it’s new? Get back to me in a week or so, but honestly this is an unfair question-

[epicthemusicalstuff]

the “All I hear are screams” right after the part with Odysseus’ mom has a death hold on me. And then the final “down in the underworld”!!???!? Catch me listening to that on repeat for the next eternity

[epicthemusicalstuff]

THE POLITIES PART MADE ME CRY TWT

I KNOW RIGHT
