Deletes And Drafts

Welcome to the list of early drafts and deleted songs from EPIC! Older lyrics and songs that were never fully formed found here in chronological order. Some of the deleted songs may still be released by Jay in a mini album. Find the lyrics and links to the original clips below.

Your Light
An upbeat and bright Polites song that didn't make it into the musical.

Man Of The House
This is a song that sheds light on Odysseus' backstory. This song may have been deleted or included somewhere in the Ithaca saga. Regardless its inspiration does show up in some of the lyrics that are sung by the suitors in The Challenge.

Ismarus
A deleted song that took place between Full Speed Ahead and Your Light. It was later combined with Full Speed Ahead in order to form the current released version. Lines from the song show up in The Underworld.

The Cyclops
Early song from The Cyclops Saga that was cut from the final draft of the musical.

Love Is In The Air
This song doesn't have a title but it's a deleted song from when Odysseus gets trapped on Calypso's island and 'flirts' with her.

Love Me Too
This song also doesn't have a title, though it may have been an early draft or inspiration for Not Sorry For Loving You. It may have also been a follow up to the previous song.

Royal Wisdom Burst
While little was revealed about this song, it did feature Telemachus joining his father in the battle against the remaining Suitors before Athena joins as well. This song would later be replaced by I Can't Help But Wonder.

Olive Tree
This song was originally supposed to be the final song of Epic, based on how Odysseus and Penelope's wedding bed was built into the olive tree that they first met by. This song would later be replaced by Would You Fall in Love With Me Again.

The Horse And The Infant
A verse from the The Horse And The Infant that would later be scrapped.

Full Speed Ahead
Full Speed Ahead was the first song that was uploaded to Jorge's TikTok in January of 2021. The first draft of the song included a rap style opening reminiscent of Lin-Manuel Miranda's music.

Mutiny
This snippet may still be in the musical as the opening to Mutiny but since its still unclear its getting put in this list for now.

Just A Man
A slightly altered early draft of Just A Man with longer drawn out notes that holds a lot of emotion.

Warrior Of The Mind
An early draft of Warrior Of The Mind that included a rap during the conversation between young Odysseus and Athena
