How Song 40 of EPIC shows Odysseus has changed

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

[blinday]

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

[martinvicentefabregas]

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.

[jakerenwick]

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

[k.s.a]

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

[joan.dh.]

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

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!

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

[Gherkin]

1:40 i thought he was gonna say “Odysseus asks penelope if she would still love him if he was a worm”

[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!!

[Zephirite.]

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

[dragoncomicz]

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!!!

[marti]

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 ✨💕

[anicafairchild-xgxp]

I’m just over here listening to a lot of the instrumental versions because Mr Jalapeño refuses to give us the lyrics in some of his videos and it’s so beautiful. And after hearing all of these I was just like “ok after song 40 comes out this man needs to release a instrumental version of epic the musical” I started tearing up hearing the instrumental version, that’s how good it is. I NEVER tear up for any song unless it’s absolutely beautiful, so the fact I teared up for this proves how amazing he is with his music

[claudiuskeat]

The music pieces are what made me fall inlove with Epic! Like, you can easily tell when Athena is present, and how it keeps referring back to previous episodes. This composition is a masterpiece.

[_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😌💙

[budgie]

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

[Ohallo-tpeb]

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

[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."

[Evergreenoutsider]

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. ❤

[QuicksanderKv]

🥲 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.
