[@gabrielcarro7139]

I'm a really big fan of the original song, and the French parts although hard to hear is deeply interesting and adds a lot of context to the song. this is my best attempt to translate all of the blocks of quiet lyrics from the original songs using various resources: "I see that many people die because they feel that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically being killed for their ideas, For illusions that give them a reason to live. What is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason to die." "Of a building manager who had killed himself, they once said that he had lost his daughter five years ago; That he had changed a lot since then and that this story had deeply affected him." "What triggers the crisis is almost always uncontrollable. Newspapers often talk about personal sorrows or incurable diseases. These explanations are valid; But one should know whether on that very day a friend of the desperate person did not speak to him in an indifferent tone. That person is the greatest danger, Because the desperate person thinks that if nobody cares about him, it is because he is no longer worth caring about." "There is the answer of yes and the answer of no. It would be too good to be true. But one has to take into account those who, without concluding, always ask questions. Here, I'm hardly being ironic; it's about the majority. I also see that those who answer no act as if they thought yes. In fact, they are ashamed to say no, and they answer no because they did not have the courage to say yes." All of these lyrics are hidden quietly broken up, spoken in a different language in the original song. how strange and interesting

[@gabrielcarro7139]

from what I gather/can guess, it is told from the perspective of a radio news personality, covering the story either real time or in recent past, through the blurred lens of a reporter who is giving the information they have gathered through research and interviews, mixed with a lot of their own thoughts about the event. (edit: several of these sections have words cut off at the start or end, its heavily implied that we miss alot of what is said, and that each time we "tune back in" to the broadcast during the breaks of the song we are jumping back into whatever the reporter is saying at a different time)

[@MultiSuperMarion]

According to Genius, at least the first passage is from an essay! Now I don't know if the rest of the passages are all from the same essay, though it wouldn't surprise me. There is also a quote on Genius from the artists, in which they reference Albert Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus," so if I were to guess I think that's where those passages are from.

[@chess6602]

I’ve always seen it as Agamemnon instead of Hektor - if you read the Iliad, Hektor doesn’t actually want to fight Achilles in the end, and tries begging to get out of it (of course Achilles is to mad with grief to listen). Agamemnon on the other hand consistently provokes Achilles, only backing down when he knows he needs to utilise Achilles as a weapon for his own gain. It’s way more in character as Agamemnon and Patroklos than Hektor and Patroklos

I feel like the other person would be Paris. Or Achilles's inner demons taking the form of one of his enemies. Agamemnon had his issues with Achilles but needed him alive.

With a female vocalist I can't help but imagine this song being sung by Briseis, Achilles' captured bride. Who is not only hugely forgotten in a lot of modern discussions about the iliad, but is also the victim of vastly contradictory accounts from achilles in the iliad where he sometimes calls her his wife and other times refers to her like property. I can imagine the two voices in this song being both her, depending on which part of the Iliad is being drawn from.

[@shunitg]

Well, it's not that strange if we consider how they saw women... He could have both loved her and saw her as his property and got offended by Agamemnon taking her.

You’re scaring us and all of us, some of us love you Achilles, it’s not much but there’s proof You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue Redemption lies plainly in truth Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof? -I see that a lot of people die, because they think that life wasn't worth to be lived. I see others that are, paradoxically, killed for ideas, for illusions, that they give them a reason to live (this, that we call reason to live is at the same time an excellent reason to die) Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof? The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken Remember the pact of our youth Where you go, I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping Since there is no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down Won’t you get up off, get up off the roof? Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don’t suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you’ll rise above -About a manager that killed himself it was said that he had lost his daughter five years age, that he changed a lot after that and that this story had- Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now You are absent of cause or excuse So self-indulgent and self-referential No audience could ever want you You crave the applause yet hate the attention Then miss it, your act is a ruse It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now It's a pointless resistance for you -What triggered the crisis is almost always uncontrollable. The newspapers often talk about « personal sorrow » or « untreatable disease ». These explanations are valid. But it should be known if the same day a friend of the desperate hasn't spoken to him with an indifferent tone. This one is the - Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle Don’t listen to what you’ve consumed It’s chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy Of feeding and it’s wholly untrue You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing It’s all just conjecture and gloom And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it Do not waste yourself on this roof Hear those bells ring deep in the soul Chiming away for a moment Feel your breath course frankly below And see life as a worthy opponent Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you’ll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome -The souvenirs of a lost country, the hope of a promised land. This divorce between the man of his life. You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (It’s not worth it, Achilles) More poignant than fame or the taste of another (Don’t listen, Achilles) But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (You’re worth more, Achilles) You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (So much more than a rat) You want my opinion, my opinion you’ve got (No one asked your opinion) You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (No one asked for your thoughts) Be done with this now and jump off the roof (Be done with this now and get off the roof) Can you hear me, Achilles? I’m talking to you [Bridge] I’m talking to you I’m talking to you I’m talking to you Achilles, come down Achilles, come down Yes and no. That would be too easy. But we need the part of those that, without finishing, question anything. Here, I am being slightly ironic: It is about the vast majority. I equally want that those who answer no act as if they think yes. In fact- Throw yourself into the unknown With pace and a fury defiant Clothe yourself in beauty untold And see life as a means to a triumph Today of all days, see How the most dangerous thing is to love How you will heal and you’ll rise above Crowned by an overture bold and beyond Ah, it’s more courageous to overcome.

Okay first, *seven minutes* of singing, technically longer since you had to sing both lines for the duet around four and half minutes in. If I could I'd give you standing ovation for that, easily. Second, god dammit how this song brings me to tears. Hearing a singer begging someone not to end their lives while that same person is forced to listen to their cruel inner thoughts berate them simply for existing, two voices fighting against each other until the singer can finally break through. Crazy powerful stuff. Thank you for covering this, it's absolutely gorgeous.

[@dccrashergames6553]

Not to mention the subtle, but powerful monologue which is sprinkled between the verses, which comes directly from the WW2 era french essay "The Myth of Sisyphus". The essay delves into the meaning of life, what drives one to suicide, and much, much more.

I like how the song keeps going. There are like 3 spots with builds and climaxes where this song could have had a happy ending. But that's not how depression works and so that's not how this song goes.

Everytime I listen to this song, I always imagine Patroclus singing the positive parts and Hector singing the negative parts of the song, as for the French translation parts, I imagine it being Achilles stating facts of the world around him. I also love that in the end, they have different meanings of “come down from the roof” because Patroclus means “get off the roof safely” where Hector means “jump off of it”

5:04 I started crying. I’ve loved this song so much, but the harmony you hit here completely transformed it into something transcendent. The original sounds like the singer is begging Achilles but unable to cut through the noise. Your cover, the singer transcends-cuts through all the noise-an angelic invocation that saves Achilles. In that moment, the voice plaguing Achilles disappears, and all he sees is her. The voice comes back, it’ll never leave him, but his childhood friend is an angel at his side, giving him the strength to continue the fight with her council and encouragement. I’ve been struggling really badly lately-trauma, chronic illness, and feelings of hopelessness. It’s hard to find motivation to continue fighting when you’ve done it for so long. It can feel like we’re meant to lose this war of attrition against life. The way you’ve sung the last verse of this returned some fire to my body-gave me the courage to try again. Thank you. So much. I can now say with complete truth that your music has changed my life.

Four days previously I was hit with a resurgence of suic*dal thoughts/prepping, something I thought I beat 7 almost 8 years ago… I know some of you guys don’t believe in God, but the timing of this cover’s release made me feel like he worked through you. I thank you again for that. I am better now, and I was reluctant to even leave a comment… but here we are. Without my faith I wouldn’t be here seven years later, without my faith I wouldn’t be hear anymore for almost a week. You have done Gang of Youth’s song a great justice as well, beautifully sung as you always do. I have been listening for about two and a half years now. And again, I thank you Anna from the entirety of my soul.

Remember that every day that you live through is a testament to your strength and endurance in the face of adversity. You are stronger than you think, and you deserve all the best in the world, my friend

I've met too many Achilles. I've met too many who had no one there left for them. I've helped a few come down, and others were beyond my grasp. Oh, how the most dangerous thing is to love... Life is a worthy opponent. It beats down on me every day. Yet I have my hope as my armor. My mental health is a worthy opponent. It saps my strength to stand every day. Yet my medicine is my shield, and my friends are my sword. I'll keep going no matter what, so please, Achilles, come down.

[@johnwade7842]

Keep up the fight. For we all die one day, why not get as much out of it as we can, I think it owes us that much at least, Don't you?

[@Crazy_Comet_97]

I always loved this song since I discovered it, I never realized it was so dark. This is beautiful. It's like the person's guardian angel is pleading with them to not hurt themselves as it will destroy them as well.

[@saetharion]

I love how gentle your voice gets at times in the song, really invoking that aspect of reaching out to someone with grace and kindness.

[@falseworldtruehearts3740]

Man, when I added the request to the community post for Anna to cover “Achilles, Come Down” I didn’t think anything would actually come of it, but I’m so happy to see that it saw the light of day ! 😆 Awesome cover🔥🔥🇬🇷

I love how Anna puts her own twists on the songs she covers, she literally slays so hard. Also shes so considerste of mental health ❤️

[@Nobody20112]

This Just reminded me of The Song of Achilles, and now i'm here sobbing😭

[@AlorrinINK]

When I saw you were posting this song, I CRIED! I cried even more while listening to it. I love this song SO much because it's so, so, SO hard ignoring that negative voice with depression just beating you down... Your voice is amazing, and hearing you sing this song in particular just fills my heart all over again. I know it's a weighty song, but, thank you! Genuinely. Thank you for singing this. ❤‍🩹

[@EveryWayWorks]

I’m just gonna listen to this on repeat for a while, don’t mind me. When I first came across this, I was *amazed.* I’m literally shaking right now. You don’t understand how much I needed this

[@majinkearu]

The original is one of my favorite songs ever. So getting to hear you sing it brings me so much joy. It's like getting to rehear something for the first time.

[@daisyta5093]

Can we all just appreciate the beautiful art that we get to look at as we listen to Anna's angelic voice!

[@soapssie]

This song made me find Achilles' story and I fell in love with it. This songs brings me such comfort through terrible times. I appreciate you covering it. ^^

[@shintsukihatake9041]

Feels like my soul was cleansed a bit with this song. Cathartic in a way I wasn't expecting.

[@Krow-ei8dn]

Anna is a daughter of Apollo and you cannot convince me otherwise

[@lovinleo5892]

why is your voice so soothing

[@theindigotree]

This is a great cover. This cover is my spirit animal. I love that this personally got me. I'm in tears. This song saved me from the unthinkable. So the fact that there is a cover by you, Anna, makes my heart sing and dance melancholloly. I love this song/cover. In my mind, this is a conversation that Achillies and Patroclus have a few times in their lives. It's Patroclus begging Achillies to come down from the roof in his moments of desperation, instead of running off after Agamemnon takes Briseis he begs him to join the fight “see life as a worthy opponent”. I think the “remember the pact of our youth line makes it clear who is talking. This song saved me from committing a fourth suicide attempt. Saved my life. 🖤

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL TIME AND IVE NEVER HEARD A COVER OF IT BEFORE AND THOUGHT IT WOULD SUIT YOUR VOICE SO WELL

[@rebekadoczi2136]

To be frank, I would also be proud as hell at myself if I would conjure up a video like this with this length. Like, any other singer or videomaker would sound cocky if they would want to have a 7 minutes of applause. But we're talking about you. So yeah, you deserve it. 👏👏👏

[@eiramkasper]

i'm french and i really love how you translate the french parts, your covers are all incredible ! thanks for all

kept playing this on loop when the youtube topic version came out yesterday--will happily clap for 7 minutes straight in return for anna delivering these magnifique vocals!! just *_chef's kiss_* 🥹👌

[@eclipsa3613]

Oh my Lord I'm in love with this cover. The original helped me through some tough times (and I still use it to cope), and this brought a smile to my face hearing your beautiful voice sing a song that I feel so deeply bonded too.

[@joshualatey7264]

EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! I think I find a cool niche song, then Anna does a cover of it and makes it 100x better

Achilles inner angel is singing to him, but also his inner demon.

As someone who struggles with depression and, for a time, suicide, this song hits especially hard.

[@stella2273]

I'm currently grieving for someone. This song brought out all my emotions with brute force, your singing touched my soul and heart and your work is impeccable

[@ariane1269]

I'm glad you kept the fragments from Camus' Myth of Sisyphus, they are about 50% of why I love this song

[@dragonslayersworkshop8598]

The way this song talks about wanting to end it all and finding the strength to go on reminds me not just of some characters I’ve created, but also of myself who’s gone through severe depressive episodes and has had dark thoughts. You feel you can’t go on, like there’s no future, but something will come and do whatever they will to keep you from falling. And this song really captures how that feels.

LYRICS: Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof? You're scaring us and All of us, some of us love you, Achilles It's not much but there's proof You crazy assed cosmonaut, Remember your virtue, Redemption lies plainly In truth Just humour us, Achilles, Achilles, come get down, Won't you get up off, get up off, The roof? Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Come down, Won't you get up off, Get up off the roof? Remember the path of our youth Where you go, i'm going, So jump and i'm jumping Since there's no me without you Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles come down, won't You get up off, get up off The roof? Loathe the way they light Candles in rome, but love the Sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't Suffer alone, engage with the pain as a motive Today of all days, see How the most dangerous Thing is to love How you will heal And you'll rise above Achilles, Achillies, Achilles, Jump now, and you are absent of cause or excuse So self-indulgent, and Self-referencial, no audience Could ever want you You crave the applause, yet Hate the atenttion, then miss it, Your act is a rouse It's empty Achilles, so end it up now, it's a pointless resistance for you Achilles, Achilles, just Put down the bottle, don't Listen to what you've consumed It's chaos, confusion and Wholly unworthy of Feeding and it's wholly Untrue You may feel no purpose Nor a point for existance, it's All conjecture and gloom And there may not be a meaning so find one and seize it Hear those bell rings, Deep in the soul, chiming Away for a moment Feel your breathe course Frankly below, see life as a Worthy opponent Today of all days, see How the most dangerous Thing is to love How you'll heal And you'll rise above Crowded by an overture Bold and Beyond Ah, it's more courageous To overcome More poignant than frame, Or the taste of another Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (YOU'RE WORTH MORE, ACHILLES) You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (SO MUCH MORE, THAN A RAT) You want my opinion, My opinion you've got (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION) You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR THOUGHTS) Be done with this now, And jump off the roof BE DONE WITH THIS NOW AND GET OFF THE ROOF Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you CAN YOU HEAR ME ACHILLES? I'M TALKING TO YOU I'M TALKING TO YOU I'M TALKING TO YOU ACHILLES COME DOWN ACHILLES COME DOWN THROW YOURSELF INTO THE UNKNOWN, WITH THE PACE AND FURY DEFIANT CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH BEAUTY UNTOLD, AND SEE LIFE AS A MEANS TO TRIUMPH TODAY OF ALL DAYS, SEE HOW THE MOST DANGEROUS THING IS TO LOVE HOW YOU WILL HEAL AND YOU'LL RISE ABOVE CROWNED BY AN OVERTURE, BOLD AND BEYOND AH, IT'S MORE COURAGEOUS TO OVERCOME
