Sencillo publicado el 15 de septiembre de 2017, de la mano de Hungry Music, en formato digital. Aparece también en el recopilatorio Hungry 5 (2018), junto a N'To y Joachim Pastor, un disco totalmente recomendable para neófitos de este estilo como yo... y para cualquiera que quiera escuchar buena música, claro.

PD: ¿Es cosa mía o se parece mucho a Time, de Hans Zimmer? Al menos el inicio... no sé, digo yo, ¿no?

If your art was edible (it is) it would taste like blueberry pie with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream on the side, garnished with a sprig of mint.

kind of funnyish but when i saw the outsiders musical there’s a dinner scene between the curtis brothers and at the end of bows i remember i think it was brody and jason and brent? (my eyes aren’t the most reliable, they all kind of look the same except pony because he’s got the fluffy hair or the sasuke on crack wig) ran back to the table and just started wolfing a bit of the food down before waving goodbye with their mouths full and running off and it was such a curtis brothers thing to do.

“Hunger is so heavy.”

I want to take a moment to rant about the role of hunger in Epic - specifically, the way nearly ever single saga is, at its core, a story about hunger and the way it affects us.

Let’s start with the Troy Saga. Odysseus’ men have won the war and are finally headed home when they run out of food. Upon discovering an island, Eurylochus immediately suggests they attack and take what they can. Right off the bat, the story associates hunger with violence. As we all know, Odysseus resists, and travels with Polites to the island of the lotus eaters - a society that has sacrificed their free will to slake their hunger for the glowing lotus fruits. If not for Odysseus recognizing the fruit, the crew could very well have met the same fate. Their hunger would have led to them losing their freedom forever.

Moving onto the Cyclops saga, the events of the Odyssey begin in earnest when Odysseus’ men slaughter Polyphemus’ sheep because they are starving. In response, Polyphemus decides to slaughter the entire crew and eat them instead - suddenly, theirs is not the only hunger that threatens their lives. The only reason they are able to escape is because Odysseus tempts Polyphemus with the “world’s best-tasting wine,” thus defeating the cyclops with his own thirst (I’m not going to differentiate between hunger and thirst here, as they are both intense physical cravings). Here, hunger is both a weakness and a threat. Giving in to hunger can lead to death and destruction, but hunger can also be used as a weapon, if you are clever.

Next up is the Ocean Saga. (This is where I start to seriously bend the definition of “hunger.”) This is the first saga in which food or lack thereof does not play a direct role. Here, Odysseus faces a new form of desire: exhaustion. Going back a bit, I described hunger as an intense physical craving for food. Well, what is exhaustion if not an intense physical craving for sleep? In this saga, Odysseus is given the chance to make it home. All he has to do is keep the storm trapped, and in order to do that, he has to stay awake. Odysseus resists his exhaustion for nine days, fighting off his desperate desire for sleep. But eventually, he relents and drifts off - which is when Eurylochus releases the storm and Poseidon kills all but 43 members of Odysseus’ crew. Once more, yielding to ‘hunger’ leads to tragedy.

Moving on to the Circe Saga, literal hunger plays a role yet again as Circe’s first move is to offer Odysseus’ men “something to eat.” The men soon discover that Circe enchanted their meal; upon eating, they are transformed into pigs - animals infamous for devouring anything in front of them. Here, hunger is portrayed as something animalistic, something which reduces the men from thinking, civilized beings to creatures, little better than livestock. Just a song later, though, Odysseus becomes powerful enough to face Circe when he consumes moly root. Notably, his consumption of this root was based on strategy, not hunger - a small but important distinction as it separates his consumption of the moly from his crew’s consumption of Circe’s meal. Wrapping up the Circe Saga, we have an entirely different kind of hunger as Circe offers to let Odysseus’ men go free if he shows his true colors in “acts of lust.” He refuses the promise of physical satisfaction because of his loyalty to Penelope, and in doing so, he earns Circe’s respect and assistance. Earlier in Epic, we were shown the power of hunger to inspire violence, tragedy and destruction. Here, we see it as an animalistic urge - the distinction between animals and men, then, is their capacity to resist such desires.

Writing this, the Underworld Saga was very frustrating for me because I could not find any significant references to hunger in any of the songs. Thinking back on it though, I wonder if that in itself is significant. The saga that takes place entirely in the world of the dead is the first saga not to heavily involve hunger or other forms of physical desire. Resisting hunger may be what distinguishes men from animals, but feeling hunger is what distinguishes the living from the dead.

Finally, we reach the Thunder Saga. The crew has run out of food for a final time, and in the grips of hunger, Eurylochus closes the cycle begun in the Cyclops saga when he slaughters the sun god’s cattle. At this point in the story, Eurylochus no longer believes they can return home. Eurylochus is exhausted, starving - he cannot bear to suffer any longer. Though Odysseus protests, Eurylochus insists that the crew cannot go on like this. They cannot survive much longer on these seas. His final defense as he slaughters the cattle? “I’m just a man.” The only person begging him to stop renounced his humanity in the Underworld.

Throughout Epic, hunger is a constant force. It inspires violence, steals free will. Submitting to it leads to tragedy, but it can also prove a powerful weapon. To resist it for a time is to be more than an animal. To feel it is to be alive. We cannot escape it forever, can’t fight it forever. In the end, we are bound by the needs of our fragile, ephemeral bodies. In the end, we must give in. And maybe, just maybe, that is what makes us human.

you seem like someone who likes musicals, what’s your favourite musical?

If you don’t like musicals, i have unsuccessfully clocked you and now you NEED to watch Legally Blonde the Musical (Pro-shot MTV) on youtube.

maybe…

i don't go out of my way to watch musicals so I don't really have any thoughts about them. Sorry!

You have to watch "Zardoz" and then maybe I'll consider your demand.

[sondheim-girly]

so you know how in some scenes he’s wearing that green flannel?

well ya know who else is always in plaid? The socs.

Anyway RIP eurylochus, siren penelope is my new favourite character <3

[olivsie]

No, because eurylochus pisses me the fuck off ive been waiting to say this for so long

This man

1. Opened the storm bag which is Ultimately how they got so many men killed by poseidon. ik odysseus is the one who pissed him off but it seems they could have avoided him for a bit if he hadn't OPENED THE DAMN BAG (though lets be real he would've probably still tracked them down but thats not the point)

2. The SECOND circe took their men eurylochus was ready to bounce. It was odysseus who had to be like "hey man, they're our crew, we need to get them back"

But then he has the NERVE to suddenly be really pressed about odysseus Giving up six men to scylla. And I kind of understand why? Id be confused/upset too if my captain went from "okay lets figure out how to conquer this beast" to "shit man nothing i can do about it" but it just rubs me the wrong way that his "lets cut our loses and run" ass is suddenly acting all high and mighty

And don't get me wrong odysseus isnt perfect (mister give a cyclops his social security number) and this post is not meant to be taken at serious level. He just gets on my nerves
