Caleb did one with annapantsu on her channel for warrior of the mind. Dunno if you saw it but that was actually the first time I heard about this musical. Hoping for more
I stumbled over the songs without knowing their context (this one and No longer You) and immediately thought of Odysseus. From your comment I can gather that I wasn't wrong XD The cover is really well done (not like I know the original). I don't even remember how many times I've listened to it by now.
Who else wants a RUclipsr cover of Epic: the Musical? Annapantsu as Athena, Caleb as Odysseus, Jonathan Young as Zeus and Polyphemus, Nick Pitera as Polites, Tre Watson as Eurylochus--it would be beautiful!
The fact that you didn't finish the song with the original final lyric is very ominously foreboding yet beautiful, especially from a storytelling aspect in relation to the Odyssey, with the act of Odysseus murdering Hector's son being the first of many steps to the king of Ithaca questioning whether his actions truly make him a man or are devolving him into a "monster". Love this!! ❤
Yeah, the fact that he didn't finish the sentence makes think that we, as listeners, are the baby he killed, and we can't hear the last word because us (as the baby) are already dead
another interesting aspect of just a man is also, when Odysseus make up examples of things becoming worse, like a comet becomes a meteor, he's also convincing himself to kill the son of Hector who'll grow up into a vengeful man, literally a man into a monster
I have reached the point of obsession over Epic the musical. I have listened to both sagas more times than I can count and literally had a dream about this song last night.
Wow, you weren't kidding when you said we aren't ready for this! When you practiced on the livestream i loved it, and hearing it now, you're amazing! I'm gonna have this stuck in my head for awhile now
I love how man was left out in the end, because it leaves the melody unresolved, and how that is the on going question throughout the story? Have I already become the monster? Can i even justify my own actions? *Am* I just a man?
I LITERALLY GOT CHILLS!! This is seriously so good, I clicked so fast and definitely wasn't disappointed! Caleb's voice is absolutely perfect for this song and did it justice in every way possible, very well done 👏👏👏
I think the fact you leave out the last word at the end of the song makes it all the more amazing, like a villain singing this song is stopped by someone trying to talk to them out of doing something bad and finally striking an emotional nerve.
Omg a one of my favorite songs being coverd by one of my favorite creators? That's a win win! ✨ Now Im waiting for " Goodbye " with maybe Jonathan Young
AAAAAH when i saw this appear on my recommended i clicked RIGHT AWAY PLEASE CALEB, I'M BEGGING YOU, SING MORE SONGS FROM THIS MUSICAL, YOUR VOICE FITS SO WELL WITH THESE SONGS
This captures everything about that moment in beautiful, gutteral detail. The vocal shift in the latter half is just brilliant. And at end when he couldn't bring himself to say "man" because what he has just done is so horrifying.... Perfection.
Ohhhh. You reallyyyy polished this from the practice stream. Definitely invoking the emotions that it ought to, you absolutely nailed this. It's no surprise though, because I knew you would! I say this a lot, but your talent is truly astonishing. 💙💙🎶🎶
When I heard this musical for the first time I honestly could swear it was you singing as Odessyus. Since I learnt it's not you I was EAGER to hear your version. I'm so glad you made it!!
CALEB! Oh god I swear you and Wolfy are only fueling my obsession with this musical even more. Which I didn’t even know was possible considering I listen to it everyday ffs.
Wow! I didn't expect to sing the song that got voted the least on the community post! I actually voted for this one and I'm so glad you did it! Your vocal range is so freaking incredible!! 🫶🏻
Oh my God I got chills and I could feel tears streaming down my face. This was absolutely phenomenal I can't believe I haven't found your channel earlier😢
Sometimes I wonder, how one person can deliver so many amazing, emotional performances so consistently. Simply breathtaking. Oh, and it's very cool to watch a song being practised on stream, and then compare it to the final version. Kinda gives some insights into the whole creative process
DAMN THAT ENDING!! I actually like it more than the official it hits SO heabily to leave that kast part in the end...! Amazing job! Beautiful voice as always
Omg, this music was stuck in my head for so long, I was hoping a cover from you. And here it is ! Thanks for the tears, I needed a good cry with chills !
Stunning creative choice at the end, going silent and then backing away slowly with a lost stare into empty nothingness, brilliantly depicting the sense of being simply lost that Odysseus himself must be feeling at this point in the story. Brilliant work as always.
This was the first I ever heard of this song, but it has been stuck in my head for the past week. It's an absolutely fantastic cover, as well as an incredible song. I feel lost when listening to it, the time flies by and those two and a half minutes feel like mere seconds
The first time I heard this song I thought you were the one singing it already. Right now I´m listening to both this and the original simultaneously and I hear near zero difference. Your voice is really just that tiny little, 5%, deeper. It´s really unbelievable how much you sound the same.
Wow Caleb... I have been following your work for a very long time now and this is one of the heart felt covers, perfect for you and your voice control ❤🎉 congrats
This just made my day brighter💕, Your singing is so incredible and gorgeous! Also if you plan on doing another song from Epic, would love to see you do "hold him down" thank you for posting!
awaiting a ruthlessness cover because that and "remember them" are ones i desperately want a cover/animation of (remember them has lots of animations i know~
OH MY GOD OH MY GODDDD
I was waiting for this comment lolol
@@CalebHyles you know me so well
Gods? If we are staying in the mythos. Oh my gods.
@@gaymerwolf4596she could still be talking about 1 particular God even through the lens of Greek mythology.
Epic
I didn’t think anyone else knew this musical existed, but I’m SO GLAD you do. This cover was perfection, and now I need more.
Caleb did one with annapantsu on her channel for warrior of the mind. Dunno if you saw it but that was actually the first time I heard about this musical. Hoping for more
I've been following it's creation
We got him to audition for Poseidon back when auditions were active lol.
I know it’s definitely perfection!!!!
@@ajewell82 That would have been AWESOME! I’m obsessed with this musical.
Omitting the “man” at the end was the perfect way to convey Odysseus’ true horror over what he just did. It was perfect!
I stumbled over the songs without knowing their context (this one and No longer You) and immediately thought of Odysseus. From your comment I can gather that I wasn't wrong XD
The cover is really well done (not like I know the original). I don't even remember how many times I've listened to it by now.
@@Spagettigeistyeah the entire musical is called Epic. its about the Odyssey
Who else wants a RUclipsr cover of Epic: the Musical? Annapantsu as Athena, Caleb as Odysseus, Jonathan Young as Zeus and Polyphemus, Nick Pitera as Polites, Tre Watson as Eurylochus--it would be beautiful!
YES YES YES!! :D
Yes! Although personally I would love to see Markiplier as Polyphemus
Totally
@@Tennkkaiior maybe Antinuos
TELL THEM ALL
THE CUTOFF FOR THE FINAL LYRIC, IM GONNA THROW MYSELF INTO THE SUN, THIS WAS SO GOOD WTF
That definitely changed the whole meaning with the last lyric being ominously omitted :0
But when, does a cover become a masterpiece?!
Looks like I'll be blasting this on loop for the rest of the day!
The fact that you didn't finish the song with the original final lyric is very ominously foreboding yet beautiful, especially from a storytelling aspect in relation to the Odyssey, with the act of Odysseus murdering Hector's son being the first of many steps to the king of Ithaca questioning whether his actions truly make him a man or are devolving him into a "monster". Love this!! ❤
I love the original version, but I also think ending without the final lyric is also a wonderful idea.
Yeah, the fact that he didn't finish the sentence makes think that we, as listeners, are the baby he killed, and we can't hear the last word because us (as the baby) are already dead
another interesting aspect of just a man is also, when Odysseus make up examples of things becoming worse, like a comet becomes a meteor, he's also convincing himself to kill the son of Hector who'll grow up into a vengeful man, literally a man into a monster
But It just doesn't make sense in the context of the story,Odysseus Isn't suppose to realized he become a Monster this early
I was just thinking "I'd be awesome if Caleb did a cover of Just A Man" and I see this. You're amazing
My gf said the exact same thing! We just talked about this 2 weeks ago xD
Did you also think Caleb sang the original? XD Because I did.
@@snraijuusame :D
"I'm just a-"
*Yeets the baby*
I have reached the point of obsession over Epic the musical. I have listened to both sagas more times than I can count and literally had a dream about this song last night.
SAME OMG I JUDT FOUND IT AND IVE BEEN OBSESSED AND PLAYED IT FOR A WHOLE WEEK STRAIGHT
Song been stuck in my head for a while now, thanks Caleb for making sure it doesn’t go away
I like how the end, when you don't end the sentence and just walk back, it is as if Odysseus got the realisation that he was, indeed, a monster
I love the ending. You can feel the sadness and horror Odysseus must’ve felt, processing what he’s done.
Wow, you weren't kidding when you said we aren't ready for this! When you practiced on the livestream i loved it, and hearing it now, you're amazing! I'm gonna have this stuck in my head for awhile now
I love how man was left out in the end, because it leaves the melody unresolved, and how that is the on going question throughout the story? Have I already become the monster? Can i even justify my own actions? *Am* I just a man?
I always thought their voices sounded similar and I'm so glad Caleb is promoting this AMAZING musical!! 🥰
I LITERALLY GOT CHILLS!! This is seriously so good, I clicked so fast and definitely wasn't disappointed! Caleb's voice is absolutely perfect for this song and did it justice in every way possible, very well done 👏👏👏
Caleb hyles singing epic the musical wasnt something I knew I needed in my life but it ABSOLUTELY IS!!
I've never heard of this musical before but this cover gave me chills, I'm going to have to find the musical afterwards.
I did the same thing when I heard the conver that he and Annapantsu did of Warrior of the Mind. And it's soo good.
The musical is very good but not finished
I think the fact you leave out the last word at the end of the song makes it all the more amazing, like a villain singing this song is stopped by someone trying to talk to them out of doing something bad and finally striking an emotional nerve.
I like how he can't even call himself a man in the end because of what he's done.
A song i've been obsessed with the last week, covered by a favourite singer? Yes
I think a duet of "My goodbye" would suit you really well also
Yes!! Another win by Caleb Hyles!!
Omg a one of my favorite songs being coverd by one of my favorite creators?
That's a win win! ✨
Now Im waiting for " Goodbye " with maybe Jonathan Young
That wouldn't make much sake, as it only features athena and odysseus
AAAAAH when i saw this appear on my recommended i clicked RIGHT AWAY
PLEASE CALEB, I'M BEGGING YOU, SING MORE SONGS FROM THIS MUSICAL, YOUR VOICE FITS SO WELL WITH THESE SONGS
This captures everything about that moment in beautiful, gutteral detail. The vocal shift in the latter half is just brilliant. And at end when he couldn't bring himself to say "man" because what he has just done is so horrifying.... Perfection.
Tear jerking, heart churning, soul moving, breath taking performance.
Ohhhh. You reallyyyy polished this from the practice stream. Definitely invoking the emotions that it ought to, you absolutely nailed this. It's no surprise though, because I knew you would! I say this a lot, but your talent is truly astonishing. 💙💙🎶🎶
GOD your voice is PHENOMENAL! Got into Epic a couple weeks ago and listening to this was absolutely GORGEOUS
When I heard this musical for the first time I honestly could swear it was you singing as Odessyus.
Since I learnt it's not you I was EAGER to hear your version. I'm so glad you made it!!
A cover I did not expect to see and didn't know I needed. Amazing!
CALEB! Oh god I swear you and Wolfy are only fueling my obsession with this musical even more. Which I didn’t even know was possible considering I listen to it everyday ffs.
All that practice on stream really paid off... The breath control is insane 😩🤌
Wow! I didn't expect to sing the song that got voted the least on the community post! I actually voted for this one and I'm so glad you did it! Your vocal range is so freaking incredible!! 🫶🏻
I love how you put the emotions in while your singing so it sounds likee something from a famous action movie. ❤
WOAH, BETTER THAN EXPECTED
You make me believe you every time you sing. You don't only do that, you perform and act and feel as the character you portray. Thank you
I am still listening to this song even though 8 months has passed. I love it thank you very much
Great voice, i suddenly remembered good songs from old Disney movies))) 😮😮😮
Hope, you'll go far and achieve all that you hope to 😊
Oh my God I got chills and I could feel tears streaming down my face. This was absolutely phenomenal I can't believe I haven't found your channel earlier😢
I love how your don't say the last "man", and let the thud to the ground take it's place. Absolute chills
Oh my gosh how had I not seen this until now it’s perfect!
I don't know why, but having that last line end unfinished made the song even more striking. Well played.
You did a really good job of sounding extremely conflicted. Massive props!
I love the covers of EPIC. Hopefully, we can have one for ruthlessness when the next saga comes out!
Agreed, Poseidon has some of my favorite villain songs coming up
Does anyone know when it is coming out?
WERE HAS THIS SONG BEEN ALL MY LIFE!! FAVORITE SINGER COVERING MY FAVORITE SONG AND THIS WASNT FRONT AND CENTER OF MY RECOMMENDED?!?!?!
THIS IS INSANEEEEE
I got chills! The ending is haunting, it gave it that much more story to it.
YES! I just discovered the musical a few days ago and I'm glad to see you have a cover now!
This is so beautiful! You should cover Ruthlessness or even Thunder Bringer!!
This was my favourite song from the Epic musical. I cant wait for the next saga
Sometimes I wonder, how one person can deliver so many amazing, emotional performances so consistently. Simply breathtaking.
Oh, and it's very cool to watch a song being practised on stream, and then compare it to the final version. Kinda gives some insights into the whole creative process
DAMN THAT ENDING!! I actually like it more than the official it hits SO heabily to leave that kast part in the end...! Amazing job! Beautiful voice as always
Omg, this music was stuck in my head for so long, I was hoping a cover from you. And here it is ! Thanks for the tears, I needed a good cry with chills !
I hadn't listened to Caleb in a while but damn he's gotten so much better since I last heard him. Stay grinding bro, much love
YES! Just yes!
I always knew you sang great but omg All angelic here!
I saw a small bit of this on TikTok and had to immediately fine your RUclips video. Omg Caleb I’m so happy I got to hear your version of this!😭
Stunning creative choice at the end, going silent and then backing away slowly with a lost stare into empty nothingness, brilliantly depicting the sense of being simply lost that Odysseus himself must be feeling at this point in the story. Brilliant work as always.
And how he realizes that by his actions this dark day, he is NOT a man anymore, but in fact a monster... impactful, truly.
Thanks for introducing this concept album to me, I've been binging animatics for the past hour
It seems like Epic: the Musical has RUclips by our collective throats. Nice.
This was the first I ever heard of this song, but it has been stuck in my head for the past week. It's an absolutely fantastic cover, as well as an incredible song. I feel lost when listening to it, the time flies by and those two and a half minutes feel like mere seconds
so glad more people are catching the Epic the Musical train!
I've been asking myself when you'd make a cover of this one and bravo my dear Caleb! ❤❤
I am obsess with the playlist of EPIC and have the songs on my mind everyday, SO happy that Caleb got to cover this one ♥
The first time I heard this song I thought you were the one singing it already. Right now I´m listening to both this and the original simultaneously and I hear near zero difference. Your voice is really just that tiny little, 5%, deeper. It´s really unbelievable how much you sound the same.
More EPIC covers please. I loved that.
I DONT THINK YOU KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A COVER OF JUST A MAN, THANK YOU!
What an absolute legend ❤️
I want to hear you do Get In The Water so bad! This cover was amazing. I need more.
I have been listening to nothing but the hour long compilation of the songs from EPIC. This fuels that fire.
Wow Caleb... I have been following your work for a very long time now and this is one of the heart felt covers, perfect for you and your voice control ❤🎉 congrats
I didn’t think you would do this one! I’m so excited!! It’s so good💚
This is a difficult song to cover and You nailed it!
Keep it up ❤
This is healing something inside me
You can see it all over his face that he's imagining being in Ody's shoes as he singing
Now I need The Horse and the Infant, with Jonathan Young as Zeus...
Beautiful 👏
You know you've made it when:
1) Weird Al made a parody
2) Caleb made a cover
Great voice!
Legit I’m shaking
I love it when my faves collide like this. Excellent, Caleb! I'm always excited to see your work!
Ay, que buena intepretación. Puede sentirse el sentimiento que recorre por el personaje. Me encantó. Está potente. ❤
I can't wait for this to go onto Spotify! I love this song!!
This is one of my all time favorite songs. The instrumentals, the lyrics. They're perfect! Thanks for doing a cover of this song Caleb!
Since I first heard this song my first thought was "wow Caleb would do such a beautiful cover of this". Im so happy
😭😭😭 Beautiful, just beautiful, and the last line ambiguity is so inspired
Goose bumps every time I hear you sing. The emotions.... Bravo!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I follow you for years now and you remain flawless. Your voice is AMAZING
YESSS!! I’ve been WAITING for this
This is a fusion of one of my favourite youtubers and one of my favourite songs, AMAZING😊
This just made my day brighter💕, Your singing is so incredible and gorgeous! Also if you plan on doing another song from Epic, would love to see you do "hold him down" thank you for posting!
This has that disney vibe
YES THANK YOU! This is my favorite song out of all of them!
awaiting a ruthlessness cover because that and "remember them" are ones i desperately want a cover/animation of (remember them has lots of animations i know~
That was beautiful Caleb, thank you
I'm obsessed with this song so much
Yes! You're voice is so suited for this song
oh my god the cut off before the final "I'm just a man".... wtf that's such good foreshadowing omg that should've been in the original
OMG, THIS FITS SOO WELLL, OMG IMA CRYYY YOU'RE SOOO AWESOMEEEE
not an ordinary cover dare I say this does fall under the category of epic
