    the song was even more accurate than the two movies

      Movies? What movies? There are no movies. The only adaptation of the books is this musical. There are no Percy Jackson movies. I would love to see Percy Jackson and co. come to the big screen, but it has never happened. Nope.

    OK I've seen a lot of people saying this is a terrible idea, but I heard more emotion, accurate characterization and similarities to the books than I saw in BOTH movies. Chris McCarrell is fantastic in this video. He looks like Percy would look at his age, he's dressing like Percy would, and we can see from that little behind the scenes clip before the song that he even shares some personality traits with Percy.
    And don't even get me started on the song. It perfectly summarizes all the emotions Percy feels in the first book. Grover and his mom were the only people who cared about him. And this song talks all about how he feels so alone and nobody believes him about all the weird occurrences. It mentions how distressed he is about his mom being gone and only stuck with Gabe. The part where the song slows and its pretty much just Chris singing has so much emotion as well. And it gets to the deeper meaning of Percy feeling alone, he just wants someone to accept and love him.
    So all in all. I think this musical is going to be great. It seems like the new songs and extended script and Chris McCarrell are going to make this musical great. Especially if Rick is actually positively promoting this musical. :)

    I feel like younger Percy is perfectly defined by this. You can clearly see his low self esteem pain the books, and his urge to just fit in, and be accepted by his father. It's hinted that Gabe abuses him, and we can clearly see how hard Sally's 'death' affects him. This song just sums it up perfectly. And now I wanna cry.

  • @juditb196
    @juditb196 7 ปีที่แล้ว +198

    I am so excited for this! Although, this guy's 26 and has brown eyes, he'll be as charming as Percy, I feel it. Also, he's so talented.
    This song gives me goosebumps. The lyrics is on point. It shows me a heartbroken side of Percy which is rarely seen in the books (because Percy always shakes it off with some sarcasm - which is also something I like about him).
    If I lived in the USA, I'd go and watch it for sure. But since I'm not, I just hope they upload more songs (or anything else, really) from the musical.

    Everything I ever do is wrong, never find where I belong, everybody on my case.
    The same old story, the same old song: don’t act up, don’t act down, be strong.
    I keep my head down, I keep my chin up, but it ends up all the same, with: “Pack your bags, Percy, you’re always to blame.”
    I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid, a good son.
    But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
    Gabe was a world-class jerk, dad was never there. The only family that really mattered? Well, she vanished into the air.
    And now I finally find a haven, some place safe where I can stay, till it’s: “Pack your bags, Percy, now go, go away”.
    I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - yeah, Percy, that’s a good one.
    But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid - guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
    All the schools in six years, every battle, every day. No one ever tells me that they’re proud, no one asks me, “Percy, how’d ya like to come around and stay?”
    And all you get are bad grades, and a bum rap, and a bad rep, and a good smack, and no friends and no hope and no mom . . . she’s taken away.
    I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run.
    And all I need is one last chance to prove that I’m good enough for someone . . . good enough for someone (six schools in six years, six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone (six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone!
    -
    I really hope it's right, if not, correct me :D

    "a good son" always gets to me because to Sally he's always been a good son, but everyone else has degraded and abused him so much that he thinks he isn't. It reinforces that one person who's fully on your side isn't enough and that's not due to a lack of effort, humans just need a support system around them.

      Alykat Logan Lerman felt too…I hate to say pulled together, but he didn't capture the sarcasm or attitude of Percy. Besides, Piper describes him as "Scruffy…a skater." Chris looks more like that.
      Plus, even the subtle acting he's doing while singing this feels more honest than the entire movie.

    • @Indomitable_Alykat
      @Indomitable_Alykat 7 ปีที่แล้ว +140

      Kerri Jo I completely agree! That's exactly what it is. Logan Lerman was very clean-cut and they did try to scruff him up a bit but he still came out with that kind of naive-ish look and feel to him, whereas canonically, Percy has seen some shit. He's been kicked around his whole life by pretty much everyone who's come into contact with him (excluding his mom and Grover) and he's got a kind of grittiness and sarcastic street sense that comes with that. The books even say that he had to develop this kind of "don't mess with me" look to keep people away because he was getting picked on so often. Logan Lerman was, in my opinion, missing that grit. And even here, even in this little tiny sneak peek thing, I can see Chris has it.

    LYRICS:
    Six schools in six years, been kicked out of every place.
    Everything I do is wrong, never find where I belong, everybody on my case.
    The same old story, the same old song: don’t act up, don’t act down, be strong.
    I keep my head down, I keep my chin up, but it ends up all the same, with: “Pack your bags, Percy, you’re always to blame.”
    I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid, a good son.
    But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
    Game was a world-class jerk, dad was never there. The only family that ever mattered? Well, she vanished into the air.
    Now, I finally find a haven, something safe where I can stay, then it’s: “Pack your bags, Percy, just go, go away”.
    I never try to do anything, I never mean to hurt anyone! I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- yeah, Percy, that’s a good one.
    But no one ever will take my side, all I ever do is take the fall. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid- guess I’m good for nothin’ at all.
    All the schools in six years, every battle, every day. No one tells me that they’re proud, no one asks me, “Percy, how’d ya like to come around and stay?”
    And all you get are bad grades, and a bum rap, and a bad rep, and a good smack, and no friends and no hope and no mom . . . she’s taken away.
    I swear I never stole anything, I never meant to hurt anyone. I swear, I swear that I’m a good kid, a good kid that’s had a bad run.
    And all I need is one last chance to prove that I’m good enough for someone . . . good enough for someone (six schools in six years, six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone (six schools in six years). I’m good enough for someone!
