Cant wait for july 4 when act 2 comes out

To be fair, I thought you meant to say “lute” instead of “flute”. 😅

The visions are simultaneously past and future, Tiresias says he sees past and future running free. The sacrifice of man is about Polites, and all the other men lost so far, and also about future sacrifices.

I've always liked to view the prophet's "I see a song of past romance. I see the sacrifice of man." etc lines as mentions to both the past AND future. Tiresias sees both, so I like to think that he uses the same words to describe different events; some that have already happened and some that are still yet to come.

I wonder if the first chorus is referring to the past - the iliad - and then the second chorus is referring to the future (the second act, to avoid spoilers). Jorge mentioned in one vid that the prophet is overwhelmed by past and future all at once...

There is a game called Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical (on steam) Its a choose your adventure styled musical where you pick the mood/style for the ongoing song and essentially its a musical with alteast 3 main variations. Ofcourse the goal is for the musical to evolve how you want it.

“Sirens call, King of gods, You could be, running far, from Poseidon, Kill the suiter for love” is what I hear from those unknown lyrics

you'll need a possibility of a "Polities Warning" in the future for your own sake XD

It's actually never been fully confirmed what all the lyrics mean, it is not set in stone that "Sacrifice of man" isn't Polites

non-existent hades

That monster motif you mentioned. It was in Remember Them, when Odysseus is doxxing himself. The background vocals follow those notes exactly. Remember me (Ooooooooh) <-here I'm the reigning king of Ithica (Ooooooooh) <-and here I am neither man nor mythical

You dress like the pink panther and that’s cool

If you are planning to watch more animatics for this song, be careful, because they all contain spoilers for act two (as is the nature of prophecy)

11:45 Wet Odysseus?

Tiresias really said "Hey you're gonna come home but that ain't you" and did the skeletor meme run

To be honest, Odyssey and Iliad are two different stories. Iliad is about the 49 days in the last year of the Trojan war. While Odyssey is talking about Odysseus' travels and 20 years on the sea.

When offering the wine you can tell from the animation that everyone knows there’s a trick being made. But what I really love is that you can almost tell from the singing as well, that it’s not just a desperate attempt to trade for their lives but he’s also hiding something. Or maybe my mind is playing tricks due to knowing the story. Though I’ve often felt like I’m better at understanding tone than body language.

Still can't access merch site ;;;;;;;;;;;;

...how is it fair if her betrays him? i can't see it. Though i as well wish i knew the title of this world we are all in, that meta knowledge could help me figure out how the fuck you even function in this story.

Prophecy hades

Very interesting. The “monster motif” sounds almost like a continuation, or ending, of Ody’s motif. A decline

The cool thing about this song is that Jorge purposely made the prophecy about Odysseus's Past AND Future. In order, Tiresias is speaking about the following; Peneleope/ The Sirens, the fight against Polyphemus/ Scylla, the Crews past and future betrayals of trust, and the lost of both Polities and Eurylochus. Sooo good!!!

This might be the only song so for in Epic that gives me literal goosebumps

The thing when Casper cursed and gigis odesseus from puppeter shows up and The lil Muppet singing when Casper was talking were my two fav moments 😂❤❤(I really like your vids with Caspers reactions, you two made my day😊)

I think Ruthlessness is also in 6/8, but a faster tempo.

Love the vid, I know you're done with your reactions to act one, but if you'd be interested in watching it on your own time I made a live action video of this song on my channel

i always interpreted it as the first go around of the chorus saying the past since he says "past and future" and the second round being the future.guess i was wrong, but that's always how i've interpreted the song.

So, another animatic I’ve watched for this song that I absolutely love is from another creator called Krieo that had the first verse chorus being things that had already happened in act one and verse two chorus being flashes of what will happen in act two. So verse one chorus had Song of Past romance = Penelope or Cercie Sacrifice of man = Odysseus dropping the infant Portrayals of betrayal = the crew opening the bag A brother’s final stand = the death of Polites The second verse chorus is all spoilers for what is going to happen in act two but anyone who doesn’t know the Odyssey won’t know what those things mean until they actually happen. I highly recommend going and watching it.

Odysseous theme is just a rick roll

The thing i love of this song, is that every event except of the ones of the Palace can be both past and future, making the line of i see past and future running free even greater.

tiresias is supposed to see "all of time, all the time". he sees both odysseus' past AND his future when he looks at him. the lyrics are purposefully vague enough to refer to big events that will happen in act 2 as well as past events from act 1. this saga is all about thinking back on odysseus' past actions, after all! :) i did see a lot of people immediately jumping to one conclusion and sticking to it when no longer you first came out without realizing it's supposed to have multiple meanings lol. off the top of my head lines like "portrayals of betrayal", for example, can be about both the crew opening the bag and well, whatever's coming in the thunder saga.

17:11 last 2 words are Penolope and Telemachus

Most of the lines that tiresias sings arent judt referring to the future, they have double meaning referring to both past and future events, the lyricism is absolutely genius in this song when you have the future insite

The lyrics are 100% also meant to represent past events, the prophet says many times he sees both past and future.

Two things! (No Spoilers) Thing 1: Because the chorus is said twice, I think the first time has to do with Ody's past and the 2nd time has to do with his future. Thing 2: About that tiktok with that person tryna figure out the background vocals. A comment on it from __Chubbi says "Sirens call, King of Gods, You could be, running far, from Poseidon, kill all the suitors for love” which sounds so correct! I think that might be it!

12:40 *panics in jazz*

Honestly, the prophet could actually be singing about both past and future - so Gwendy's interpretation could still be valid

he knows

Tiresias kinda gives me that "Cancer Deathmask/Manigold" Vibes

The prophet is talking about the PAST AND THE FUTURE "I see past and future running free" all of the phrases have an event from both the past and future that fit it

NOO HOW COULD I MISS THE PREMIERE

WARNING SPOILER/THEORY AHEAD: Past romance/passed romance is talking about Calypso and Sacrifice of man is talking about them killing the dumb stupid red cows and Zeus getting big mad murdering them

Just as quick reminder, go to Survive, the theme is there, guess who are singing it?

man I love having knowledge of the future -definitely not Tiresias, at any point in his life

Poor man he keeps finding motifs but he can’t notice the danger motifs even when it’s staring him in the face 😔 DUDE YOU JUST. JUST FOR A SECOND… JUST! SGFEFADVXDNBS

That motif is also at the end of "Remember Them" when Odysseus says "I'm the reigning king of Ithica"

2:05 missed opportunity to say odyssey instead of journey

Idk what you're talking about, I tear up every time I hear Polites start singing

So I don’t know if anyone else thought of this (pretty sure a lot of people might of lol) but Casper in a previous video (can’t remember which one lol) mention about a back and forth duet that would sound something Like when the piano is more bouncy when tirasia’s prophecy talks about odyssey’s place, his wife etc, to me is like a way to say odyssey’s is dancing with death not just because he and his men are in the underworld but it’s also referring to dancing with death in the future when he might have to face and fight his men or right hand man. But I’m only going by what I’ve seen in this animatic lol (potential spoilers I’m not sure if it’s true tho lol) also @Mortius and @CFReactsYT I love your guys content there so much fun to watch ❤
