#credits to the guy who voices antinious he has such a rich manipulative vocal style it’s really lovely to listen to

i have such a love-hate relationship with hold them down. like. i detest the lyrics but i keep catching myself singing the earlier parts because goddamn is it a good song. it’s like. i can picture some of the suitors being like damn dawg is singing so well this is a bop… oh sure spoils and whatever… like its the way it’s so sinister and yet just the way it’s sung is so similar to how scylla’s voice is initially so gentle and purposefully seductive. you let yourself be led in by how sweet the song itself sounds and then the metaphors with it too…. it’s like almost beautifully manipulative. yeah sure we’ll join in this dude’s plots it just sounds like good fun. and it’s so good especially in contrast with odysseus because hold them down is just so slow and flowy. and then in odysseus you have those frequent short sounds in the background that immediately make you think of danger. but in hold them down if you weren’t paying attention you probably wouldnt realise this guy’s talking about raping the queen and killing her son to do so.
