The quiet "Bye mom" followed by the loud "All I hear are screams!" Breaks my heart every time because he just found out his mom is dead and all around him are reminders why he's not home right now
yeah, I searched and the reason for her death is even sadder, she didn't just die of age, she died of grief because of his son who went to war and never came back...
@@clairebenike5371 you took the words out my mouth! But yeah, basically this is the ongoing struggle for anyone who was left in Ithaca. They are all waiting for their loved ones to return home, but in the end it’s only Odysseus’s family that hold out hope for his return
@@MrJmanmonkey Same! I’ve been thinking this since the first time I heard it, it’s so interesting and entertaining how everything is intertwined in such deep ways.
Wait, now that I think about it…..Odysseus says “And Ithaca’s waiting! My kingdom is waiting! Penelope’s waiting for me!” But, he never says “My mother’s waiting!” or even anything about his son. Because at this point, I have two conclusions. Either Odysseus forgot about his mother, as she really isn’t referenced in any of the songs after Odysseus goes to war, or he was so confident and hopeful that he would get to see his mom when he returned home that he didn’t even think to consider the fact that she may be gone. I really hope it’s the first one or none of them because if it’s the second one im gonna cry.
The saddest part is how Polites and Odysseus's mother don't even notice him, like they're trapped in one moment for ever. I knew it wasn't going to be a happy reunion, but this is worse than I thought. This is even worse than if they had gotten angry and blamed him for their deaths.
@lukeroberson2115 personally I find it a little confronting that she thought that then being angry and distasteful toward her son. Same with polties. The only thing I think who had it worse was the men who was killed by posoden.
The tenderness in “…I took too long” breaks my heart so deeply. Him realizing how much she missed him as she was dying is so hard to hear. It shows how well it was done.
This part of the song made me and my sister cry super hard last night during the live stream. It hurt so much to hear the pain in Odysseus’s voice. Everyone’s talking about how talented you are for writing and producing this musical, while I’m over here like, “THIS MAN CAN ACT THROUGH HIS VOCALS BETTER THAN LEGITIMATE ACTORS.” And yes, you are extremely talented for creating the musical but as a theatre kid I admire how you act through your vocals! 😂 You’re mom’s voice is absolutely beautiful❤️
Honestly, Jay's mom's voice sounds so young.. It is as if Odysseus remembers his mother for himself - a young, beautiful ruler who will always remain with a gentle voice and will sing him a kind lullaby. How Odysseus' mother sits gently on an armchair, her hands tucked not to her chest, but to her heart, and meanwhile you can hear her singing for Odysseus - it's incredibly beautiful! The canonical image of Odyssey's mother is space! The little details are just a miracle! Thank you so much for your wonderful image of Odysseus' mom and Odysseus crying, dear Jay, thank you so much to the incredible artist who realized this, this is something incredible, suns, you are beautiful! ❤
Absolutely devastating. I was already crying because of Polites but then this. Ody's "mum?" absolutely broke me. The fact that it's your mum, Jay, has the fandom in shambles! Thank you for the pain, we're living for it! 🧡👏👏👏
This hit hard for me cuz i was supposed to go home for Christmas in 2012 but couldn't afford it. So i planned a summer trip in 2013 to make up for it. I was two weeks away from going home when my dad unexpectedly passed away. TWO. WEEKS. Unlike Odysseus, i had called home the day before so i got to hear him one last time but still... that feeling of being so close and still missing the mark... 💔💔💔
OMG OMG OMG 💔😭HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME FEEL MY OWN FEELINGS!!!! Also when I first heard this portion I had this thought in my head “Wouldn’t it be even sadder if this was actually his mom singing this part?” Jorge Rivera Herrans you had no right to make me cry this much with this beautiful masterpiece! Keep up the excellent work 😊
no matter howmany times i hear this ... the tears just instantly come out the second your mom starts singing , i'm a 30 year old man who is crying like a baby every single time ... honestly amazing job ! , this is the first time a voice could bring me to tears every time i hear it
Jorge, I swear even after a few months I cant listen to the underworld without crying at this part. I still have my mom but this part of the song reminds me of my grandmother who I lost back in 2019... I didn't get to say goodbye and Ive been struggling with grief and regret. My grandmother basically raised me due too my mom having to focus on my disabled brother. I honestly wished I spent more time with her before she based but it was at a time when I had a lost of my own mental struggles due to high school. There are so many things I wish I could've talked to her about. But at the same time Im thankful she's no longer suffering with cancer. The song reminds me that she's still here with me even if shes not here physically. You are a truly skilled lyrical and musical genius, I've enjoyed listening to all the songs from Epic constantly. The singers and yourself sound amazing. Keep up the amazing work.
Dude I wouldn't hold it Like imagine hearing my own songs (SAD SONG) and it's ME AND MY MOM!! and and when she dies fr?? I would hear it just to hear her voice and cry bc of the context of THE SONG!!! Jesus NO 😭😭
The Mother’s melodic intro & voice came out of no where when I first listened to this while in the middle of a game 🥹. I had to pause my game cause all my tears started pouring out 🥺
i cried when i heard it on the stream, it made me so emotional i went to go hug my mom. She was asleep but i gently whispered that i loved her before i left her room. I hope her heard me.
Listened to the entire thing the first chance I could. YOU ARE A FUCKING DIVINE SENT MUSICIAN, I have not disliked a single song out of the 20 I’ve listened to
I called my mom today. I felt so happy hearing her voice, and almost cried for no genuinely good reason. I told her I was eating a Popeyes biscuit to hide my near slipped sobs. Thank you for reminding me to keep my family close. Work, married life, and such are never a good excuse to not call home and hear their loving voices.
This part in specific broke me apart. My mom passed away when i was 15, she was 49. Cancer. Every single day I miss her so much, I am 23, and the way Anticlea sings the second Waiting, as well the "I'll always love you, I'll stay in your heart" is the reality, if they are a good parent, it's a really high chance of you never forgetting them. This one broke me completely, I cried for a whole day.
I've been away from home for 4 years now, and my grandmother's health is beginning to worry me to the point that I feel that even if I see her again, it won't really be the woman I grew up knowing. Hearing "I took too long" breaks my heart into pieces every single time.
This bit wrecked me. My mom died a few years back and I just... my gods. Your mother has a wonderful voice, and you are so lucky to have a recording like this. Cherish her.
This actually makes me cry every time I hear it. My son just turned 2 yesterday, I cant even imagine having him gone for 10 years not knowing he was safe 😢
I have never been so happy that someone destroyed my emotional stability, this moment is truly beautiful and brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.
This was so beautiful and heartbreaking, when I saw the credits listed and say odys mom was voiced by someone with the last name Herrans I burst into tears. I gave my mom the biggest hug
When I was watching last night and saw her name, I instantly started weeping. It is so sweet that your mom helped create such a hauntingly beautiful moment with you. ❤
I didn’t see this until the live stream last night so as soon as people started saying, it was your real mom last night I was sobbing, I MEAN SOBBING. 😭
I just got to hear The Underworld song for the first time a few mins after posting this comment and you sir had my balling like a child with how beautiful this part is along with the rest of the sagas i can't wait to see this show on Broadway someday
Having your mom play Odysseus' mom made me sob Mr. Jalapeño
True mother and son Moment
LITERALLY
Fr!
I sobbed all three times on the stream
@@jennifervanhorn4453 LITERALLY ME LMFAO
Odysseus' "Mom" when he realizes that she died breaks my heart.
His voice is so full of emotion when he says 'bye, mom', it's so beautiful yet so heartbreaking.
I feel this!! I started ugly crying once my body got over the initial goosebumps over the duet
I almost cried
Stopppp😭😭😭 My own mom is dead and I could literally feel it. I am damn near to tears
Yesss 😭
The quiet "Bye mom" followed by the loud "All I hear are screams!" Breaks my heart every time because he just found out his mom is dead and all around him are reminders why he's not home right now

@@animacaodeumamador1006 😭😭
This is so sad 😭
I JUST NOTICED how the “waiting”s here parallel the Melodies in Full speed ahead: “…My kingdom is *waiting* ,
Penelope’s *waiting* for me.”
Also the “waiting” comes back in The Challenge by Penelope
@@clairebenike5371 you took the words out my mouth!

Yeah, the dead in the Underworld can't community/see the living without drinking a sacrificial blood.
According to Jorge, in his version, the spirits are repeating their last thoughts before they died.

@@aaronheroes8485 it is!
THIS PART AND POLITES MADE ME CRY SO MUCH 😭😭😭😭
I KNOWWWW MY SISTER AND I HEARD IT AND IT WAS THE SADDEST JUMPSCARE I'VE EVER HAD AAA 😭😭😭
i love polities so much
"This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms."
My voice jumped a few octaves when Polites showed up.
Exactly 😢💔
ETERNAL SOBBING
FOR REAL 😭😭😭😭
ME TOOO
SAME THOUGH I WAS UP AT 1AM SOBBING
IM CRYING RN BC OF THIS
YESSSSSNDJJD
Making your real mom voice Odysseus’s mom it’s so heartwarming ❤
Yea but also so more EMOTIONAL 😭
Heartwarming and also heartbreaking
Holy shoes they're a good singer
More like emotional manipulation. Cuz now that I know that, everytime I hear that part I'm gonna break down crying.... it is pretty cool tho
You had no right to break my heart like this Jorge Rivera-Herrans🫵🧍♂️(I love this saga)
Same 😭
EXACTLY 😤😭
When I saw Wanda Herrans as the names listed I immediately knew

Having your mom play Mama Odysseus just made this so much nicer 😭😭😭
Mama Herrans is such a good singer shes wonderful ✨✨❤️❤️
his little "I took too long" was heartbreaking!
Polites didn't make me cry. When I heard the voice of Odysseus's mom I wept.
She sounds so angellic! I am SOBBING rn!!!
Her voice is so beautiful! Your mom did an amazing job ✨
I KNEW ITTTTT. Also she has a wonderful voice and deserves as much recognition as possible. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I ALSO THOUGHT SO WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO IT (he had to have gotten the singing from someone) So pretty!!

Ohhhhhhhh now I see where you got your wonderful voice, it runs in the family!! Absolutely beautiful representation of such an amazing relationship
Dude I'd just stopped crying over this saga and now I'm crying again 😭 your mom is such a good singer!
That "I'll always love you" from Odysseus's mom, how dare you, i almost cried at work???
Ahhhh when I heard his mom's voice I was like "did Odysseus meet an angel 😇"!!
no matter howmany times i hear this ... the tears just instantly come out the second your mom starts singing , i'm a 30 year old man who is crying like a baby every single time ... honestly amazing job ! , this is the first time a voice could bring me to tears every time i hear it

Fun fact. My mom's name is Wanda also. I lost her 12 years ago. Getting a goodbye broke me. Thank you
This part hit me so hard 💔 The longing, heartbreak, and love between your voices is astounding.
I KNEW SHE WAS YOUR MOM BECAUSE OF HER LAST NAME AND HER GORGEOUS ACCENT! YOU GUYS ARE TOO TALENTED
We love jay's parents! His entire family is blessed by apollo
That makes me cry knowing it more it is beautiful knowing the conversation between parent and child is performed by parent and child.
That’s so sweet and awesome! I loved the songs from the soundtrack
Love your work and contentment, would love to see this on Broadway one day

YOU ARE A FUCKING DIVINE SENT MUSICIAN, I have not disliked a single song out of the 20 I’ve listened to

The Underworld in general made me SOB. Your mom’s voice is so beautiful
This part always makes me cry no matter how many times I hear it... Either crying or tearing up... What sorcery did you unleash upon me Jorge!?
I heard this and I started crying, this was such a sweet little cameo, I love The Underworld Saga 🖤😭
AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I RECOVERED FROM THAT MOMENT-
Honestly this is the most impactful part of the song to me because every time I hear this part I feel my heart drop and then I start to cry.
To be completely honest this part made me completely tear up
This bit wrecked me. My mom died a few years back and I just... my gods. Your mother has a wonderful voice, and you are so lucky to have a recording like this. Cherish her.
I showed my friend this and it literally broke both of our hearts . This music is amazing! ❤❤❤
Your mom did such a WONDERFUL job! It was so beautiful and enchanting I couldn't believe it!
This part makes me sad because I moved away from home and said it's temporary and this hits hard as a fear
The Underworld Saga literally left me in tears. Such an amazing and sad saga for me
Idk why I love that she was apart of the project.
STOP YOU DONT UNDERSTAND I CRIED LAST NIGHTS STREAM ON THIS PART AND POLITIES 😭
I know i heard it the first time i was like 'What does Penelope in the Underworld?', and than Ody says 'Mom?', and i literally broke down
She has a beautiful voice ❤ watching and listening last night I was sobbing with this part
I legitimately almost cried whilst listening to this portion of the song, it’s actually so beautiful!
When I heard this in the live yesterday, I was immediately captivated. I seriously need more from this voice 😍
Love the art, such a good moment in the song and your mom was SO talented, I LOVED IT!!!!
Mr Jorge I’ve done enough crying to this part today, don’t make me start again
The emotion in his voice, so heartbreaking and perfect.
I'll be forever sobbing to this song😢
I can’t take this much emotion. Your mom is such a beautiful singer 🫶💕
I
Want
To cry
Stop making me emotional 😔
And think to Laertes as well, who's waiting as well and who now lost his wife
This actually makes me cry every time I hear it. My son just turned 2 yesterday, I cant even imagine having him gone for 10 years not knowing he was safe 😢
I have never been so happy that someone destroyed my emotional stability, this moment is truly beautiful and brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.
That line, "I took too long.." Literally made me sob.
I forgot about this part in the odyssey and I bawled my eyes out when I listened to this 😭 😭 😭
How do you have so many talented people in your life wtf.

I listened to this on the train. When I tell you I was in tears, I really mean sobbing. 😭 ♥️♥️♥️
This wasnt what I was expscting for this saga but I heard my heart crunch at polites and his moms part but this whole saga is so powerful I love it!❤🥲
When I was watching last night and saw her name, I instantly started weeping. It is so sweet that your mom helped create such a hauntingly beautiful moment with you. ❤
When we saw her name in the credits and made the connection. Mind blown!

Polites and Anticlea made me cry so hard! And when I looked to see who voices Anticlea my heart felt it ❤ What a beautiful moment
Am i the only one who thinks this guy should make this whole thing into a TH-cam mini movie with all the animations and songs bc id pay to watch this❤
Mama Herrans did an absolutely wonderful job!! Definitely haven't been sobbing over this clip for the last thirty minutes...
