How Song 40 of EPIC shows Odysseus has changed

Here is how the music of Song 40 shows that Odysseus has changed! #epicthemusical

[@jakerenwick12]

I swear this man is the God of music there’s nothing he can’t do because every song he has done is just a masterpiece

[@Angelwitch99]

Honestly! He is blessed by Apollo for sure to have such amazing talent as this. I am a songwriter myself and I could never do anything half this good

[@justlazykid]

​@@Angelwitch99it's bad to say it's talent, a lot of effort and dedication went into him getting as good as he is

[@Angelwitch99]

@justlazykid yes a lot of work goes into stuff like this and I'm not discrediting that at all especially since like I said I am a songwriter too so I know first hand the amount that goes into writing good songs but I consider this level of skill talent regardless of if it was natural or hard won through hours of work and I would consider it a blessing from the gods for any person to have the inclination ability and resources necessary to reach this level of skill. Jay is amazing and the work he has put in to get here was well worth it in my opinion. I feel blessed just to be able to listen to his music

[@cailinjackson6218]

That would be Apollo.

[@k.s.a9597]

"Olive Tree" is a masterpiece. But "Would you Fall in Love With Me Again" is god's work

[@placeholder2586]

Look I never get emotional over stuff anymore but hearing the just a man theme swelling practically hearing the "I would trade the world to see my son and wife" but knowing that he has gotten back... I gotta be honest it made me feel some stuff

[@grungekitty77]

It hit the Kingdom Hearts shaped nostalgia button in my heart.

[@woofnoble]

I can’t wait to see it fully in action I will SOB

[@Outcast272]

I immediately started crying lol

[@isabelyabes5554]

Just seeing how much this musical has developed from concepts from that incredible brain of yours has me so freaking emotional! I think the joy this has brought me has restored my health because not only has my sickness passed but I've passed all my exams, too! Thank you for the great vibes, and I can't wait to hear the finished product! Wishing you well, Jay!

[@joan.dh.0325]

As Tiresias foretold, Odysseus is no more the man once he used to be :'( 20 yrs is more than enough to change a person completely But there's one thing even those 20 yrs couldn't change or take away.... Odysseus's love for his wife and son

[@dragoncomicz874]

Oh my goodness, I love the videos where he explains the reasoning behind the compositions!!! I’ve always loved musicals, but I’ve always been more focused on lyrics than composition, so hearing all this symbolism hidden in the orchestration is SO COOL and has unlocked another side of musical analysis for me!!!

[@blinday]

HE FINDS THE BALANCE BETWEEN RUTHLESSNESS AND SOFTNESS OMG- I will never be normal abt this

[@meisgogo]

When the just a man motif played, I literally began to tear up. And we only really heard that part. I know I'm going to be sobbing when the song is released! I love this so much!!

[@budgie0003]

I love how much love and detail has been put into every second of this musical, things I’d never think of in a million years. I’m so excited to hear the full song for this

[@_twisty_]

The composition of the music in this musical is so clever, its like the more i learn, the more i fall in love with it😌💙

[@Zephirite.]

Well, with that explanation in mind, I think song 40 is going to get me to bawl my eyes out.

[@Ohallo-tp2eb]

Bruh honestly most of this goes way over my head and I definitely wouldn’t have noticed this while listening/watching the musical so I really appreciate these videos that show off the depth of effort put into the music

[@AGhostInTheCorner]

When the musical is finished you HAVE to release the instrumental soundtrack because this iss TOO GOOD TO NOT APPRECIATE

[@Evergreenoutsider10]

This song is gonna leave me a sobbing wreck 😭 I can’t wait! Love these breakdowns, they are like, almost of the same level as the Lord of the Rings special features. ❤

[@marti1418]

I never thought that hearing melody from "Just a man" in song 40 will make me so emotional. I can't wait to hear full song ✨💕

[@Penamesolen]

As someone who knows nothing about music and do not care enough to learn, I thank you for explaining this, because I would not be able to notice this by myself and I love to listen to the intentions behind the music beyond the lyrics. Though I know musicians put a lot of effort into their songs, I am happy that I can appreciate it now with a bit more understanding beyond "I like the sound/words."

[@QuicksanderK2v]

🥲 I love how everything is so connected. I’m not ready for Just A Man in song 40. I teared up hearing it just now.

[@wolfbloodforevermaleficent]

This is beautiful, im crying at the triplet version of just a man, the symbolism is spectacular

[@MiraStarLight]

Alongside the sagas that get released I think it would be cool to release the instrumentals of each song separately without the vocals just the music you’ve orchestrated.

[@rhys5178]

oh my god the goosebumps i got when the reprise of just a man came in argrhgrg i love his music composing so much

[@cricket-notthesport]

i love how you can tell how excited he is about this! (and he should be, this is awesome!!)

[@MusicalArtist-ok4rs]

Can we just talk about the Song 40 climax??? Everything in this musical is amazing!!! It's so full of love and emotion! 🥲💙 We believe in you, Jay!

[@Celtics512]

I love the music. I'm a band kid and I love when it all comes together. This sounds beautiful

[@blankierocketboomer3170]

I love these songs 🤩

[@AshleyMoon-du6hg]

Same

[@simonecassman]

After the walk through and Just a man triplets... I got WAVES of chills😭👌

[@suga1072]

Your attention to ditails is really one of my favorite thing of all i really love your works and hope to see how this song will turn out

[@tubbywoggy2811]

Everytime I think how impressive all this is Jorge one ups himself and now i have ANOTHER thing to scream over.. I'm so happy to have been here during this journey and I look forward to seeing how absolutely amazing it all turns out!!

[@mariageary5550]

Thank you for letting the music play for people that just don’t understand music theory. I appreciate your work though I would not be able to do it like other people not my talent.

[@brundag4]

Knowing all the cool secret symbolisms and meanings behind all the music just adds another layer of uniqueness to this already amazing musical. Can’t wait to see it all finally come together, super excited to hear the concept album for the Ocean Saga later this year fingers crossed everything goes to plan!🤞🏼

[@darkwolf719]

I just discovered you and epic, I’m just loving the process of making the musical and love how you explain the process of the story telling

[@crazychickens8156]

This is so incredibly cool to me, I can't handle it. It's breath-taking honestly

[@bellsofdoom5342]

Just can't wait to hear the full song. Even just by hearing the musical base of the song it made je fall in love with it. ❤

[@estephaniacalvocarvajal594]

OMG.. When I heard the whole development, I could cry because the emotion 😅... It is a masterpiece, thank you for sharing the process with us. ❤

[@Charlie.z.x.y]

Jay, all that you do is amazing! I love how you do all this musical explanation! YOU ARE AMAZING! Remember to take care of yourself! 💙💛🌊

[@thelivingbrick56]

I love how much time Jay has put into these songs and how in depth these songs are! I just love it more and more every time I see these explanation videos!

[@khushisinha9144]

This guy's a genius and a lovely person who cares to explain his pov to his audience. 😊 Love the album and waiting for all to be released

[@frejasakurafladstrand6672]

I absolutely love these kind of explanations, it really makes you appreciate the music/songs even more! I can't wait to hear more, keep it up!

[@LudiosAnimations]

I have a soft spot for songs in this particular music key, so I already love this song, but the little details I can look out for in the final product when it’s released make the song so much better! Thank you for creating this!

[@thomasyoung2201]

God its making me cry just listening to the instrumentals. You are so freaking talented!

[@chris_freaky305]

Wow, I guess he did learn how ruthlessness is mercy upon himself then. (Also, shjdendoxksjwks I can't believe all the songs are finished I'm so excited to listen to and obsess over all of them aghggh)

[@LyricAndCompany]

I would love to see someone break down the triplets thing into a visual, I struggle a lot to pick up on the technical side of music and I can't really tell what the difference is besides like, a general shift in tempo 😅

[@Victoria-_]

Jay, I love your music so much!! You are so talented

[@BluberryBunny]

Me not understanding anything about music but enjoying learning about how this musical is put together: This is so clever! I'm so excited! 😊

[@NerveUnderscore]

I love all the details and little things that the music tells us and this... this made my eyes tear up :"] I've been saying this since the moment I stumbled in this musical, but I will say it again: I will wait whatever it takes to hear all of your work. And thank you very much, Jay. You deserve the world.

[@ellaandrews5634]

Love it ♥️♥️♥️

[@freiaaccia7402]

Your attention to detail is incredible, your passion intoxicating, and the way you make the characters in EPIC shine is well, epic!! 🥰

[@AIDragon_2]

Bro even if we only get the instrumentals of the songs, it’d still be a banger of a musical.

[@user-un7ei7bl9n]

No estoy preparanda para que termine, tengo sentimientos encontrados, este músical me da vida, es lo mejor que me ha pasado en el año...

[@Doodle-gal212]

Genius. Absolutely genius. Can’t wait to see where this goes ❤

[@blue_phenix1364]

Yo we gonna need some instrumentals of the whole thing now those are amazing

[@nicholaseklund39]

DUDE!!! This is such a beautiful and powerful closing piece! I LOVE it. I’ve been able to watch you grow and excel for the last 3 years, and seeing the show finally hint towards its closure is so inspiring and holds such an inspiration in my heart. Your work on Epic has actually inspired me to start writing my own musical, so thank you! Also that trumpet entrance, AAAAA I want to learn that!!! Keep up the phenomenal work

[@DanielKimmothy]

Im going to cry, you are amazing

[@beatrizpedrosa1947]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL YOU'RE A GENIUS 😭

[@SunsetWillow-xt8qy]

Those instrumentals are beautiful oh my gosh!

[@martinvicentefabregas7240]

When Odyseuss arrives he is shocked at seeing how Penelope has aged. He's sad, not because his wife is older, but because they didn't grow old together.

[@Hoodspidey1]

Dude you have done an amazing job of deep intellectual storytelling on so many levels in so excited for the full finished version and the day a full orchestra plays your masterpiece front to back side thank you for sharing this gift with us

[@keramarie2176]

I love getting the insight into your creative process. Your work is so intentional and masterful!

[@cassidyritchie1794]

The details and thought is amazing in every song!

[@NyxieLove22]

That reprise of just a man is literally epic and it just makes me so hyped to hear the full song at some point lol

[@whtvr5225]

How is this song not even OUT yet and I already know it's going to be my favourite song in this entire musical - I love how much thought and consciousness goes into each song that you make and I know that the love and fans will only grow from here

[@dragonquill3182]

I always love your videos that talk about the music and how it tells the story. That is something that has always interested me when it comes to storytelling. Also the music you've shown us sounds so phenomenal! I swear you are going to have me in tears when this musical ends. Are you a son of Apollo because your music skills are off the charts!

[@SeaofFireGaming]

Ooh boy, I started tearing up at these tiny snippets of song 40, I know full well I'm gonna bawl my eyes out when it's released

[@alirosestudios4385]

Duuuude! I got chills at the instrumental of just a man at the end! I FREAKING LOVE THIS❤

[@lordhades8025]

I am becoming more and more convinced this guy is a demigod child of either Apollo or Dionysus. Maybe even one of the Muses.

[@toastypuppy4042]

Love this so much!!

[@woofnoble]

I’m so fucking obsessed with this MUSICALL AAAA

[@xineav]

God... "Just a Man", "Monster", and "Would You Fall in Love With Me Again" in order make me sob 😭

[@AussieLuvah]

Im already in tears, agh!

[@foxynonym6384]

I love how mcuh thought you put into this. That's what makes it unique. I discovered epic through an edit from my favorite book (Warriors) with the song My Goodbye. As a Greek mythology nerd myself I needed to check the original and the other songs out immediately and they are AMAZING. The interpretation, the voice actors portraying the different characters and the music overall are a masterpiece. I can't wait to see the finished musical. I'm already hyped up

[@Hana_H]

JAY YOU GENIUS YOU INCREDIBLY DEDICATED MAN

[@mari-swiss]

Omg, I'm literally on the floor. This is magnificent

[@JerrBaybEe]

You know what's brilliant? The fact that i already understood all of these intentions and messages without the explanation. But I didn't know WHY that message came across so well. Well, Now i know. And knowing is half the battle-- G. I. JOE!!!

[@arcadiatales]

Yessss❤❤

[@sofia4391]
