Especially when you factor in a) how often seeking light/bringing light to the world is mentioned by Telemachus but also look up Ismarus, another cut song. At the end there's a lead in to this song in which Polites approaches sleepless Odysseus and asks "what keeps you up so late at night my friend?" "All I hear are screams every time I dare to close my eyes I no longer dream, only nightmares of those who've died. Nothing's what it seems-" "Nothing's what it seems," echoes Polites gently. "Not every choice is black and white." And Ody tells him, as desperate as he sounds when he sings it in Underworld, "I keep thinking of the infant from that night, I keep thinking of the infant from that night...." And then we have this song. But here's the thing. "What keeps you up so late at night my friend?" is sung with the same melody that Telemachus sings "tell me Athena why you came to my aid?" right before they perform "We'll Be Fine" together.
@@AquaticDot He said that if he does do one, he probably won't get the va's bc of everything that goes into just the official music. Even tho I'm sure at least some of them will be more than willing, Jorge would have a lot of hoops to jump through to get a fully voiced cut song saga. He'd probably just do the vocals himself and/or use what's already released.
While that would certainly be dramatic, I don’t think it’s supported by the text. The Cyclops’s twisted deal was that, in return for the wine, he would not kill Odysseus until the rest of his crew was dead. We are given no indication that he goes back on this deal, and like, you know that sassy little Odie would have brought it up if the deal had been broken.
@@mapleflame9027 The musical is what I meant by “the text” 😅 And like, yeah, you can have headcanons all day and all night, and more power to you. I just think it’s fun to think about which ones could and couldn’t be “actually happening” in the world of the play. For example: There is no evidence that Odysseus was listening to Eurylochus’s confession in Scylla’s lair. To me, the fact that “Odie wasn’t listening” isn’t contradicted by the text (again I’m using “the text” to mean the words and sounds in the recording) makes this headcanon more fun than it would be otherwise. This is, however, only a personal preference; you can do whatever you want at all times. Long live trans Telemachus, and all that.
All of the men, including Elepenor and Eurolycus, survived and got home safely, Odysseus's mom is safe and alive, and the suiters all threw a party for telemucus
I love how the song establishes that they knew each other before the war. It reinforces their friendship, and it’s so cute. Seeing Odysseus have an actual song with a friend guiding him out of the darkness that the war tainted his mind with is just so sweet. I want a lifelong friend like Polites, ngl.
@@Tuskbumperi know I’m not the original commenter but I have my own two cents: My take is simply that it was a bit too ship-y. Like the romantic undertones in this song were too much when they were trying to establish how much Odysseus loved his wife. With this song it the mix it would probably make the fandom completely ignore the love Ody shares for Penelope and make “PolitesxOdysseus” the soul focus that took everything over. In other words it was to beat the gay allegations lmao
@@SariyaJohnson-pr8vv yep... too soft and romantic when ody already have a love interest and polites saying these to him are just awkawrd it would been nice "I am your light mentioned to establish "his light went dark" better but its understandable. They are friends till the end.
I always figured it was because Open Arms kind of serves the same purpose of establishing Polites’ character, but we can all still just keep this song in the back of our minds to know the history between these two and how much they care for each other, which makes it that much more painful when…you know
The reason I think was that Jay was trying to set you two philosophys with polites and Poseidon on opposite sides. While your light was great for polites it didn’t really show his philosophy of open arms, so it was cut. Also there’s always the chance of a cut song saga
Though I can understand why this song was cut (that possibly being so Odysseus could go over the edge and reject Polites's optimism), I really wish that it could have stayed if only for the beginning alone. I feel like it adds so much to Polites's character; it shows he recognizes that the world can be dangerous and scary, but that doesn't mean optimism doesn't have its place and further emphasizes that it isn't worthless. It adds a layer of intelligence to Polites that I feel is missing from him in the final cut.
Ahhh! I love this song and the animatic is so perfect! A friendship so strong and true and pure to be on a whole other level! This is the peak of a relationship, whatever kind it is and I would die for this song sung with the current voice of Polites!
RAGHHHHHHH THE BOY BEST FRIENDS OF ALL TIME thank you so much for giving us another your light animatic, desperately needed in these trying times. i love how you portrayed their relationship here, polites being odys rock despite it all… oh theyre soo good
"Oh, I know the world's not always pretty and there's days that seem to last for way too long." "Oh, I know the world can get real lonely and there's times you feel too hopeless to go on..." 😭 I bet this memory is all Ody is thinking about during the end of Love in Paradise. This is animated so well, I love this 💙
Okay I don't know who did the vocals for Polites here because they did a great job. But it's just a crime that we never got an official release of this song with Steven doing it. I would have loved that.
I wish this song wasn’t cut man😭😭😭😭 I kinda wish it was in the earlier parts of the show so we could see that these two knew one another before the war😭😭😭
Their expressions are the most beautiful! Polites' tenderness and playfulness and genuine care, Ody's hesitance and heaviness giving way to softening and relaxing a bit - sooo beautiful! You are such an artist!
I remember listening to this song, thinking it was Penelope singing because it was like 2 years before the first saga released and i got so much whiplash when i saw this and realized it was actually Polities the whole time
AMAZING ANIMATIC!! I love your drawing style and the way you narrated the story, the friendship between Odysseus and Polites is very pure and deserved to be protected (until the Cyclops put out that light) 😔.
1) I love this animatic so muchhh And 2) is it jsut me or does the “hey there bro” bit kinda sound like hey there Delilah like the “a thousand miles seems pretty far but they’ve got planes and trains and cars”
IKR? xD I always giggle at "history will say they were roommates" like lol have you read anything about the ancient Greeks? History says they were hella gay, Homer says they were "just friends". I mean not these two specifically but *ancient Greece* come on. Ody definitely had a war husband, no matter how much he loved his wife, they weren't that big on monogamy and many of the great writers of the era praise m/m relationships as crucial or of greater value and importance than m/f relationships and marriage. Obviously we're talking about a massive place and period of time with many different opinions but the idea that Ody didn't have a boyfriend is pretty out there.
@@bearhugzfam649 tbh wouldnt be surprised if they did do something, i mean not probably because he would've pulled away and started saying 'im just. A maaaaan"
@@bearhugzfam649 yeah ancient Greece was hella gay, but i think at least in Epic Ody is still 100% faithful to Penelope i can also see Polites being gay for Odysseus (that moment when you fall for your straight friend lmao) but that's probably just me 😅
@@xwixy9994 I agree he's faithful to Penelope but not everyone is monogamous ;) considering how normal it was in Ancient Greece to have multiple relationships, it's entirely possible that they were lovers with Penelope's full knowledge and blessing. I have a personal head canon that she made a big deal of it when they were heading out, and was the first to refer to Polites as Ody's light, and bid Polites lead him home.
me, forgetting that since it's a cut song it's not sung by the actual voice actors: yay time to watch an animatic! me 5 seconds later: wait why does Polites sound like broadwaystuck
Crees que puedas traducir Ismarus?? Es que va antes de esta y dios le da personalidad al personaje de Politis, pero no la encuentro traducido en ningun lugar y la traducción normal no me deja entenderlo bien!! 😢😢 Agradecida que hayas traducida esta hermosa canción!! ❤🎉
I find it really annoying that Jorge cut this song, tbh. I mean, open arms is nice, but it hardly establishes that Odysseus and Polites (is that how you spell his name??) are friends. Like, your light isn’t the best song, but that’s hardly an excuse for completely cutting it all together. Did we REALLY need Polyphemus??? Couldn’t we have just merged that song with survive? So, you know, your light could be added? It’s honestly not that hard. Polyphemus Isn’t even that good of a song! I’d take a slightly altered version of your light (so it fits the vibe of modern Epic better) over freaking Polyphemus any day! Like guys, it’s not that hard! I can’t be the only one who thinks this! 😭😭
Polyphemus is crucial for plot and absolutely slaps, imma fight you there, but 100% I agree this should have stayed. I get why it was cut but I think it was a mistake, keeping this would have made a big difference imo. TBF though I feel the same about the whole subplot with Perimedes and Elpenor too though if I had my way the musical would be twice as long lol
@bearhugzfam649 Yes, I really wish they kept the Perimedes and Cicones plots, but the musical is already 2:30 hours long (with no dialogue between the songs, mind you), and if they ever adapt it into a stageplay there is only so much they can fit.

"And then his light went dark" just damn

That line hits hard with the currently released songs but it hits even harder after this.

This makes it sad when you realize polites probably died taking the blow for Odysseus like how he protected him from the boar

I didn't knew this song, thank you for showing me this, but my heart is broken now
Hah, you're welcome! Mine was broken as well

Thank you! I also really hope that cut song saga will exist and Your Light will be in it
Finally someone talking about how they’re great friends instead of making it gay even though ody is with penelope already smh
If it wasnt a cut song i would literally cry. I almost cried in the underworld WHAN POLITES CAME ON
IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE
okay we all are *WHY CANT THEY BOTH LIVEEEE*
the bromance in this is strong
oh yeahh😅
Fr tho 😂
Fr 😂
i didn't comment this, idk how it got here

It's this person called Macey, she duetted a your light vid back in the earliest vids and then helped out with some vocals for a few more vids
YES I'D BEEN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ANAMATIC OF THIS SONG!! This is so beautiful!
Thanks!!
I really hope this song gets released in the cut song saga
Bro how is polites a real character in this musical..... did he transmigrate worlds or something....... .crying........
Didn't realize this existed in any form, now I'm heartbroken all over again.
Okay, but imagine Calypso singing a reprised version of this song during Love in Paradise
I wish this song wasn’t cut man😭😭😭😭 I kinda wish it was in the earlier parts of the show so we could see that these two knew one another before the war😭😭😭
My heart doesn't know whether to melt or break. It is a wonderful work. ❤

Thank you very much!
This is absoloutely soul-crushing... why did it take me so long to check this out?😭
very minor thing i know but i do love the olive oil lamp, very cool...
IN CRYING THEY'RE SO SWEET WITH EACH OTHER :((
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFULL THANK YOU 😭💗

Imagine this happens while Ody is on the brink of death in between Get In The Water and 600 Strike!
I AM GOING TO CRY /POS
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH, I'M SO HAPPY IT GOT A NEW ANIMATIC, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, FRIEND
Thank you for the comment! Means a lot
HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY AT SCHOOL 🥺🥺🥺🥺

AMAZING ANIMATIC!! I love your drawing style and the way you narrated the story, the friendship between Odysseus and Polites is very pure and deserved to be protected (until the Cyclops put out that light) 😔.
UMMMMM??? OWWWWWW?????
Great animatic, but OW MY HEART????
I need this song in an actual album. It's so.. refreshing? Healing? Me coded? I needed to hear this.
This song always makes me cry-
I'm not crying, you are.
Needed Some wholesomeness after the the end of god games-
oh look at me i’m the captain
WOOO ANIMATION OF YOUR LIGHT!!
This is so heartwarming in a wistful kind of way
And thank you for the comment! Appreciated!
Polites is just the Epic parallel of Mae Hughes FMA
I’m actually crying right now like tears streaming down my face 💙💙💙😭😭😭😭😭
Ok TIME TO CRY
AND THEY WERE CREWMATES-
this slapped so hard fr, wish they hadn’t cut it
MY EYES ARE LEAKING this is beautiful
Thank you very much!
Because the song was cut I just headcannon that it instead happened with Odysseus and Penelope before he left for war
THE HUG AGH IM SOBBING
omg ur the one who made this animatic! I just saw ur 600th strike one! It's BEAUTIFUL
Hah, thank you! Glad to know I might be considered a familiar face in a sense.
YAY! More your light animatics!!!
I like how this song references warrior of the mind
1) I love this animatic so muchhh
And 2) is it jsut me or does the “hey there bro” bit kinda sound like hey there Delilah like the “a thousand miles seems pretty far but they’ve got planes and trains and cars”
This song would be perfect in between survive and remember them
I'm going to sob now. Thanks
I do think this song needs some work, but I do appreciate that this polites is more aware. The canon one is kinda just a pure ideologue.
Why. Did. They. Cut. This. Beautiful. MASTER PIECE?!?!
Well I *was* feeling largely neutral on shipping. You’ve got me now. Good job.
I’m so glad someone did this omg
Oh my gosh that's beautiful! I have never heard this before and your animation is so smooth
Ody and Polites are the ultimate bromance
I hope Jorge's seen/will see this
Bromance at it's finest. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔
Thanks, now I'm tearing up😭😭😭
Best friends? Absolutely
Bromance? probably
Gay? I would say so 😏
Ody and Polites being gay for 3 minutes
I miss him so much... wow
Wdym they cut this from the EPIC the Musical??? You're telling me we could've had more songs about Polites and Odysseus together???!!! 😭🙏
This is cannon in my head b/c it adds to his character so much :)
