You can tell he originally wanted to go for a Hamilton vibe. I am glad he changed it.
Someone's gonna watch this in a few years and think that "I am the monster" was an actual song
I was thinking the same thing lol
And in that way, the April fools joke will be immortalized
Omg lol 😂😂😂😂
Sssshhhhhh 😂😂
RIP unnamed Telemachus song 😭💔 it sounds so emotional. I wish we could have an album with these cut songs finished just for what they could have been
Ismarus sounds more like a hamilton song ngl
Olive tree getting cut is literally my villain origin story. It was so perfect 😭
YOU GET IT I LOVED IT SO MUCHHH
It's ok the new song will prolly be better
RIGHT?!😭
@@caraombd maybe it will be referenced in the new song?
I am the monster rawr rawr rawr😂 Can't wait for the underworld saga!!!
Agreed
I actually cried when I first heard Monster. It was truly a remarkable song about Odysseus's journey and how it changed him. 😢
Ah, so many things that would help, especially with Ismarus where it introduces characters and how they relate back to Odysseus.
Edit: Can definitely hear the Hamilton vibes :)
I feel like Full Speed ahead does what Ismarus but with less exposition. And in an already 40 song long musical, you can't really afford to have too much fluff.
@@aliendilo3105 Understandable about the 'fluff'. But knowing that Ismarus was a song that was written makes me enjoy EPIC even more, because I did wonder where that part of the Odyssey had gone in the musical.
I'm just a little bit sad that unless you know more about the Odyssey externally, you don't quickly know who the characters (shipmates/crew/soldiers) are in relation to Odysseus.
@@aliendilo3105to add on to this, when EPIC does eventually get adapted into a real life stage musical, a lot of things are going to be introduced and explained through spoken word in between songs. So trying to cram a whole lot of info into 1 song would seem kinda redundant
Monster (rawr rawr rawr) is my favorite one
I'm so glad you added I am the monster
Rawr rawr rawr
I clicked on this not realizing these were the cut songs-
I LOVE YOUR LIGHT SO MUCH
Dude. Your Light should have been added! It’s so beautiful, it being sung by Polites’ actual va would just make it that much better!
that's what open arms is tho
Objectively, Open Arms does better at conveying what it’s supposed to convey and does better in all aspects compared to your light, although Your Light would’ve helped polities personal character and relationship with Odysseus
@@GrayDayMystic yeah, Open Arms, does better at helping the narrative, but it came at the cost of having a less fleshed out Polites. I’m definitely hoping for a cut song saga though so we can hear it in Steven’s voice
Man of the house was one of the first songs in epic I fell in love with 😭😭
Right! It’s so catchy
I wish it was an actual song 😭
Lyrics of Ismarus=
Athena🦉:
(Low on provisions, low on suplies,
600 guys sail north towards the porth of Ismarus)
Polites🌟:
Isn't this-
Crew⚔️:
-the land of the Cicones?
Odysseus🏹:
Yes
Athena🦉:
(Weakend and feable from fighting the war,
The Cicones keep their food hidden store, in Ismarus)
Odysseus🏹:
Alright, listen up!
Athena🦉:
(The captain and his men devise the plan)
Crew⚔️:
Yes sir!
Odysseus🏹:
We're currently fighthing against the current,
We're low on nourishments and it's imposible to flourish,
We are low on food, low on suplies,
Need to feed 600 guys,
We need to beat this bleeding time with speed and resources in mind
Fellow brotherend, together we need a plan,
Do we raid the nearest city or leave and take the chance?
Whoever wishes to speak, please, take a stand
Crew⚔️:
Eurylochus?
Athena🦉:
(Eurylochus is second in command)
Eurylochus🛡:
Captain, why not take the bor by the jugular and hit them where it hurts, now?
Crew⚔️:
Captain
Eurylochus🛡:
Captain, victors of the war, we don't have to ask permission or for trust now,
Raid that city, sack that town,
Where was their pity when they shruck our men down, captain?
Crew⚔️:
Captain?
Eurylochus🛡:
Tell me did we come this far so we could all starve, now?
Odysseus🏹:
If we don't get that food our lives a lost
Athena🦉:
(If you take a life to save a life,
Does it justify the cost?)
Polites🌟:
Wait! There must be another way
Odysseus🏹:
Polites?
Crew⚔️:
(Polites!)
Athena🦉:
(Polites, the Captain's best friend)
Polites🌟:
Why don't we leave the bloodshed for another day? (Another day)
The war is over, let's do no harm,
Let's find a place with open arms,
Get what we need, we'll play it safe and make it home
Odysseus🏹:
Even if we found another place, we might have the same problem
Athena🦉:
(Assuming you'll live enough to solve them)
Odysseus🏹:
Eurylochus-
Eurylochus🛡:
Captain-
Odysseus🏹:
Rally half the trops, you'll raid the city of Ismarus tonight
Eurylochus🛡:
Yes, Captain
Odysseus🏹:
Eurylochus-
Eurylochus🛡:
Captain-
Odysseus🏹:
Our men are not to use any lethal force in this fight
Eurylochus🛡:
Sir- wait, let me get this straight,
You want no lethal force, and a city wide raid?
Odysseus🏹:
That's correct
Eurylochus🛡:
But, sir, what exactly do you expect?
Odysseus🏹:
No lethal force, DON'T kill, what about that doesn't connect?
Eurylochus🛡:
There's a reason i object,
Forgive me sir, but that's proposterous,
The second we attack, there's bound to be some deadly consequence-
Odysseus🏹:
I DON'T CARE!,
i gave and order, enough said,
The war was full of gore, NO MORE of this bloodshed,
Just steal what we need and then retreat
Crew⚔️:
Polites! Polites!
Polites🌟:
What keeps you up so late at night, my friend?
Odysseus🏹:
All i hear are screams,
Everytime i dare to close my eyes,
I no longer dream,
Only nightmares of those who died
Nothing's what it seems!
Polites🌟:
Nothing's what it seems,
Nit every choice is black or white
Odysseus🏹:
I keep thinking of the infant from that night,
I keep thinking of the infant from that night...
Polites🌟:
... hey
Just to let you know, it's Cicones not Sychonis ^^
@@XxAgeofLovexX thank you!
Ismarus gives hardcore Hamilton vibes
Mhmm
AHH when I heard the clip from 2:58 which is the same as The Underworld song!! I’m so glad he reused that
I know!!! I didn’t see this video till today so when I heard it, it honestly shocked me so much XD
Athena being the narrator kinda hits hard-
I am very sad that royal wisdom burst and olive tree got cut. Royal wisdom burst just has awesome vibes and I almost cried when i first heard olive tree. :(
True, but for Royal Wisdom Burst it got replaced by King (I think) and they're both catchy violence song
@arandompersonontheinternet8690 I just checked the older songlist and I Can't Help But Wonder replaced Royal Wisdom Burst. And I'm pretty sure Mr jalapeño said that royal wisdom burst didn't like convey the story the same way or something
What replaced Olive Tree?
@@GrayDayMystic I think the song was called Would You Still Fall in Love With Me or something similar to that. Very heart warming and sad
I’m crying for what these songs could have been. Especially Royal Wisdom Burst, Olive Tree and Unnamed Telemachus song 🥲
But most of all
I am the monster rawr rawr rawr
OMG YOU INCLUDED “I’m a monster rwarr rwarr rwarr”
I love how Your Light gives Polites even more personality(the song itself doesn't really fit the rest of the musical, but the lyrics are great)
I love the 'where is he' from man of the house getting reused for king Odysseus.
Bro Your Light made me tear up ;-; It's giving childhood Disney memories.
This is the perfect description for your light
I wonder which saga would have included “Suffering” (which I think was a duet between Odysseus and Penelope, in which Odysseus sang something about how he felt like he was drowning while Penelope sang about how she was willing to take away her husband’s suffering if she could)?
I kind of imagine it as an expansion on the dream he has during Keep Your Friends Close
Where is this song?
Well um it was in the thunder saga.
@@leonglitch yep. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that it was actually an official song! I wonder if this song will be replaced with “I Wanna Be a Legend” in the next Cut Songs compilation?
6:56 I realized how much this melody sounds like in "The Horse and the Infant" when Zeus says "He will burn your house and throne". I wonder if it was some kind of Zeus motif.
Wait GASP-this cut song “Pick Me”? It’s so great! And we would get to see Ody and Menelaus planning for the oath? Ahhhhh why is it cuttttttt
I think it was cut because there's no place to put it in the musical. I'm sad it got cut too though.
Also I think is ironic how the "Maybe you can learn to forgive" in "In Vain" has basically the same melody as "Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves"
The In Vain demos are Fire
Dude I love man of the house
SAMEEE
The first version of Hermes music sound like a Hadestown song
That Telemachus song is chilling!!!!!
MORE EPIC SONGS YES PLEASE. ❤❤❤ I WISH THIS WAS A NEW ALBUM.
The way it starts it sounds so much like Hamilton oh my god
Does anyone know who Olive Tree is about? It’s probably Odysseus singing it, but Jorge sings all the characters that don’t have vas yet, either that or it’s Penelope who is singing, but “we were just kids” so I don’t think it’d be her either… Maybe if Odysseus is singing it it’s about him and Polites? “I won’t forget, he’d invite me like this” so the other person is obviously a guy. Does anyone have an idea of who it is?
I believe that it’s being sung by Penelope and when she says he it’s referring to Odysseus. I’m pretty sure certain lines were meant to be Odysseus as well. Could be wrong though. I’m just sort of going off the fact that Jorge said it was intended to be a duet between Ody and Penelope
Ahhh, that makes a bit more sense, though then why would they need to meet in secret if when they met it was literally /to/ get married?
NOOOO why is Olive Tree Cut!! That was like my favorite song when I had first discovered Epic. 😭
Right?? It's so good!!
Note- I have no idea why I made this comment, but if you read all my thought's I'd love to hear yours below!
THE TROY SAGA 🐴
0:00 - Ismarus: I love the Hamilton vibes but I'm glad he went a more unique route. But I'll admit, I kinda love the idea of Athena being the narrator. Also-- HOLD UP THE "ALL I HEAR ARE SCREMS" PART IS FROM ISMARUS??? I had NO idea, but this makes me excited for other bits of cut songs making it into the musical (Maybe Telemachus'? please?)
3:29 - Your Light: Still one of my favorites; it would've made Polites' death so much more painful... I hope Polites gets some mention in the later sagas.
6:30 - The Lotus Eaters: Groovy 🕺🪩✨
THE CYCLOPS SAGA 👁
6:55 - The Cyclopes: Honestly "of this path" and "Zeus' wrath" is 🔥
7:04 - Unnamed Athena & Odysseus song: I can't not imagine a disco ball. lol When did Athena suddenly become FUN? Also I can never hear "The blood on your hands ... choose is who's" part in ANY song without hearing "THIS CANNOT BE THE WAY 🕺🪩✨" immediately afterwards. I was listening to Just a Man and this both ruined it for me and made me laugh out loud
THE CIRCE SAGA 🐷
7:40 - Puppeteer (cut section): 🤓☝
8:00 - Unnamed Hermes song: Hot take, but I don't see the vision. This is too out of place, but then again Odysseus sings "I am the Monster rawr rawr rawr" at the climax of the first act, so I digress.
THE UNDERWORLD SAGA 👻
8:40 - Man of the House: Love this one, but I agree it didn't really fit. Not much to say honestly.
10:21 - Monster (Rawr rawr rawr): JORGE WHY. WHY DID YOU CUT THIS. WE COULD'VE HAD THE PINNACLE OF MUSICAL THEATRE AND NOW YOU RUINED IT.
THE WISDOM SAGA ✨
10:38 - Unnamed Telemachus song: ...no words. i'll never understand why this was cut. the reaction for the last one was a joke as anyone could see, but this... this just kind of hurts.
THE VENGEANCE SAGA 🔱
11:26 - Unnamed Odysseus song: I love the "There are other ways" callback; Odysseus is using his experience with Circe as inspiration to deceive Calypso in the same way that almost worked on him (Kind of like how he used the Cyclops against the Chimera in Puppeteer)-- difference is, Calypso is a lot more desperate than Odysseus was. Its a bit harsh, but my man has been stuck there for 7 years so I'll forgive him.
12:20 - Love Me Too: Dang. Gotta feel a little bad for Calypso here, but then again she ignored the fact that he's a married man and tried to use magic to seduce him, so... kind of deserved it?
13:13 - Unnamed Odysseus song: This song SLAPS. I love the music in this, the weird disco reversed piano/synth thing is so cool. Wish it wasn't removed, but I understand why it was.
13:31 - In Vain: I assume this is Poseidon? Idk this clip is too short to care about.
THE ITHACA SAGA 👑
13:38 - Pick Me: This feels like an alternate dimension EPIC. But I love the Odysseus-Menelaus dynamic, that could've been a cool character that starts out friends with Odysseus and then eventually turns against him from their differences. Menelaus lets his heart take control, and Odysseus lets his mind take control. It'd be an interesting story arc for the both of them.
14:07 - Royal Wisdom Burst: It's a big EPIC family reunion, and everyone's invited! (No but in all seriousness this song is sick. Telemachus saving his dad is an awesome concept; It'd be cool to see Odysseus get overwhelmed by a planned attack by the suitors, and then Telemachus steps in and throws a wrench in their plans. Since Telemachus was always ignored and belittled by Antinous, it would make sense that they never even considered seeing him as a threat, which would only make this even more awesome when he exceeds their expectations.)
14:53 - Olive Tree: I love the bit of background/lore this uncovers, which gives a deeper connection to Odysseus and Penelope's dynamic. But I felt this was a little underwhelming for a reunion after 20+ years, so I'm kind of glad it was cut.
Where did you find that “Pick Me” clip???
It’s from the preview on his Patreon
Ismarus definitely gives Hamilton but am I the only one who kinda loves it anyway? It's actually kind of good.
Also Man of the House ans Olive Tree should not have been cut!!! They're SO GOOD
The Ismarus rap!!!!!!! Oh mah gah
I'm so glad they cut Ismarius(also the fact that they moved that last part of the song to "the underworld" is awesome. That was the only actually good part of the song)
12:20 Nintendo aquatic levels be like:
Spot on 😂
You’re light I love that song. I just wish the real actor for polites would sing this song it’s so beautiful
Your Light and Olive Tree getting cut still haunts me
THESE ARE SO GOOD 😭😭 i get why they got cut but still
Here after Jorge announced that we eventually will get a cut song saga!
Wait, how do we know the last few are cut? Did he announce that somewhere? I missed it 😭
We don’t know, but we know they aren’t in it. But lines can be repeated elsewhere, as you can tell in here
I know these are cut songs, but is there any idea for where these would make the most sense to be added to the official songs in order to make a cohesive story?
where did you get pick me from, its so cool
It’s on preview on his Patreon
Now you have to add Elpenor!
Pick me sounds like those theme songs in idol produce shows in Asia hahahahshshs
Your Light makes it hurt so much worse!!!!!! :( why was this cut!!?
WE NEED A FULL ROYAL WISDOM BURST
Wont the helen one (pick me) be in the start of the musical? Not that it matters that much, just curious
a lot of these songs were just added into other songs
Where is Perimede's verse in Ismarus?
The video I linked in the description which I used for Ismarus I’m guessing was taken from a demo after Perimedes’ verse was cut and it didn’t really fit anywhere so I decided not to add it
@@BigEpicGuy69 Oh that makes sense. Thank you!
Damn i LOVE pick me
PICK ME 🔛🔝
The monster song would make a great tiktok love pitbull song bite.
