Odysseus: show yourself Also Odysseus: talks over Athena the entire time and then tells her he needs to go talk to someone else instead

I live how ody is saying “what you world HAS been” and “things you’ve HAD to suffer” he’s basically saying that Telemachus is done suffering now

I ANSWERED A RHETORICAL QUESTION WITH A LITERAL ANSWER

[@ajsingingvoice]

this has only reminded me how scarily similar mico and jorge sound😭

[@xxA1R4xx]

MICO SOUNDS LITERALLY JUST LIKE A YOUNG JORGE! I’ve never noticed that until now!!!

[@Gigi-dandys-world6]

I CANT HELP BUT WONDER if Jorge did this on purpose

[@mehlkeh7451]

Lowkey thought for a while that jorge was singing in well be fine

[@daughter_of_hermes11-j1y]

During Odysseus I didn't realize that Telemachus was singing until I saw the animation. That was when I realized how similar MICO and Jorge sound.

[@destroyerdan5478]

They are both high tenors and have a similar vocal range and tones are similar not the same but similar

[@RiRa_channel2]

ok but when it says “i can’t help but wonder” you can actually hear the similarities in their singing

[@thejurijo9388]

Also during 'twenty years I've wandered'

[@ecowo57]

Alternate title: I can't help but wonder, but it's Oddyseus second run and he's speedrunning

[@Nix-thegoddessofnight]

OKAY WAIT I can’t with Athena saying “with a bit more empathy “ and IMMEDIATELY Odysseus saying “it’s far beyond my years” cuz in the original it feels like oh sad he’s not the same but THIS feels like him remembering the years he used to feel the same and the years that have passed since and everything in between and kinda letting go like a pleading goodbye idk if that makes sense but it felt so much more powerful to me

[@Tanvibee1]

That’s such a good insight!

[@4onen]

When the quick thought goes too quick...

[@happyeevee4955]

OMG TELEMACHUS X ODY SINGING AT THE SAME TIME IS GIVING SUCH DEAR THEODOSIA VIBES THE LYRICS ARE IN PARALLEL AND EVERYTHING AAAAA

[@moduIus]

He’s said several times that the EPIC beta songs were heavily inspired by Hamilton. I like to think this was a homage to how he started this journey with Hamilton

[@Tanvibee1]

@modulus Yep! Also, Hamilton is the show that introduced me to musical theater, so I wanted to pay tribute to both of these amazing musicals!

[@ChaoticDoodle]

This sounds so nice I wish Jorge put a song like this in the musical where 2 people sing the “same” verse at the same time

[@Martina-xb7ml]

We dont need another lin manuel miranda but yeah it'll be cool as hell

[@polishka7529]

Closest thing is the Eury-Circe part in Puppeteer

[@autumnruby8424]

It also kind of happens at the end of The Horse and the Infant with Odysseus and Zeus.

[@camalemsy]

Jorge said it's because he try to make every song sound like a conversation I believe!

[@Tanvibee1]

Camalemsy? I love your work!

[@PinkQueen_N_LJPlayz]

This was so good and it gave me chills the fact that telem and ody sound almost similar is crazy

[@Tanvibee1]

This song really shows how they’re father and son 🥹

[@DuckIt_WeBall]

People always say they sound so similar and I just can't hear it whatsoever. Idk if my ears are just trained to pick out separate timbres more or what, but I can't possibly understand someone hearing the wrong person

[@zysworld3453]

@ same like I can def tell they sound similar but i don’t understand how u could mix up the 2

[@kaleycooper9111]

@@DuckIt_WeBall I do think Telemachus and Ody sound very similar, but personally I always got Tiresias and Ody more mixed up. He sounds nearly identical to me! 😂

[@LittleLyn]

its the original idea for Dear Theodosia all over again awwwwww

[@thedarks99]

I personal love how odysseus sings for from a past point of view (what your world has been) for example and Telemachus is more her and now with (what your world must by) its something i only see now thag there together and its ❤❤❤❤❤

[@elsantiago888]

This is EPIC's dear Theodosia.

[@Sc-eb3ds]

YES

[@juliasings6131]

I had the same exact thought

[@dorkybooktrash]

Something about the simultaneous lyrics has me weeping

[@savannahcherry2135]

I had no idea both verses sung together would sound so good! Great job!

[@Tanvibee1]

Thank you! I wasn’t awake of their similarities until I put this together either!

[@Ashhh.s1ngs]

Its giving dear Theodosia!! Love this ❤

[@Tanvibee1]

YES!! That’s exactly what I was thinking!

[@snowy_drag]

DEAR THEODOSIA~

[@tumblingartist]

OMG YES!! No wonder it hits so hard 🥺🥺

[@Daomi1705]

Somehow whenever someone mentioned this song giving Dear Theodosia, Hamilton shouting "My Son!" played in my mind instead 😂😂. Because i always thought Ody voice sounds like Hamilton especially when he sings in higher note 😅.

[@snowy_drag]

@@Daomi1705 YESSS

[@Arkraiden]

There's something about how similarly worded Ody and Telemachus's verses are compared to Ody and Athena... Despite not seeing for 20 years, the father and son are more aligned than the goddess and her once warrior...

[@Tanvibee1]

Nooo, that’s so sweet and so sad at the same time 🥲

[@paulzu2778]

How lin manuel miranda originally wrote it

[@AxolotlQueen]

its driving me insane cause its like half a second off

[@dorianw1810]

The first part with Odysseus and Telemachus is genuinely so good, but the follow-up for Athena and Odysseus, unfortunately, doesn't make sense given his follow-up is a response to everything she finished saying 😔

[@Tanvibee1]

I realized this while editing, but I still overlapped their verses mainly because I didn’t want to cut the song, but I thought it would be weird to leave this part unedited. But I do find it interesting how they still harmonize, and how their vocals compare!

[@mug_man6033]

It feels like that one scene in frozen in elsa's ice palace, when she and anna were overlapping one another, yk? I like it 😔

[@Jade01134]

this is my fav song of the saga. i just BAWLED my eyes out like MICO
