Christmas morning couldn't be beat with the release of the final saga! Yes, my eyes filled with tears while listening to the tracks. What an incredible and remarkable journey! Please rest, Captain - thank you for sharing this unbelievable musical with us!

Makes "The raging storm" have a completely different meaning

So excited for the Ithaca saga! On another note, is it bad I imagine the wind bag as a whoopee cushion? Like, at the end of 'Ruthlessness', when Ody says "All I gotta do is open this bag", he just jumps on it and a loud fart just erupts from the whoopee cush- I mean wind bag? Does anyone else see what I see?

You have successfully built a very contagious yearning for a loved one with Penelope. That was the name of my childhood bully, who I encountered in three different elementary schools. I ended up disliking the name, but you have totally redeemed it. Thank you.

Can we PLEASE get "in vain(second draft)" in the final saga.. like it could just be poseidon sitting on that rock tight as fuck because he was just defeated by odysseus. Essentially screaming at odysseus as he returns to ithica. I WILL LITERALLY COMMIT HEINOUS WAR CRIMES FOR YOU TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN🙏🏽

YES!!! I'm so excited and you built that tension perfectly because I've been FEELING IT.

I knew we were done with Hermes but hearing “you only hear from him twice” still hurt 😭

So hyped for the Ithaca saga(bro ody talks about her so much she’s our wife too at this point.😭😂)

Idk if it’s just me but Jay reminds me of Lin-Manuel Miranda in a way that they’re both wrote/written musicals about “historical” events or the past (Ik Greek mythology isn’t exactly historical and it’s not entirely real but hey) and they write banger songs

Since Penelope didn't appear in the Wisdom Saga, my friend and I came up with a theory that she got sick of waiting for Odysseus to come home, commandeered a ship, and set off with an all-female crew on her own journey to find him (explains why the sirens know what she looks and sounds like--she came through that way before Odysseus, but they let her go because there were no men on her ship for them to seduce). Anyway... LOVE all the work you have done to introduce the audience to Penelope and her relationship with Odysseus through the melodic previews and imaginary glimpses: you are an absolute genius, and I cannot wait to meet Penelope for real in the Ithaca Saga!

Ooohhhh the full strings give me the shivers!! It's interesting to hear how many times you say "see"--as someone with aphantasia, I have no mental pictures and can't "see" anything at all. (The animatics are hugely helpful!) But you've been so meticulous with your themes, instrumental choices etc. that I can still understand & get the full emotional impact of what's happening even without the mental-visual component. ❤️

omg, just hearing Jorge talk about Odysseus yearning to get back to Penelope had me water up, and then the viola motif.... I´m gonna be balling (pun intended) all through the Ithaca Saga, especially Song 40!

Stef Lake

Not my eyes filling up when I heard penny's real motif 🥹

Anastasia Boulard

I already love what I'm hearing SO MUCH !! How does one prepare emotionally for that ? I feel like if I go unprepared my heart will just stop and melt 🥹✨❤️

Jada 🇵🇷

So I gotta get ready to cry ONCE AGAIN with an Epic song. Got it 😩

Jonni Padilla

He didn't give a date but we're all saying it's going to be our Christmas gift

Jonni Padilla

That's one of my favorite parts of the odyssey and why I love the sirens song so much because of how excited I am to get to Penelopes scenes

Stephanie Haskett

colin ballay
