Song of the Week #24 – Open Arms

Greetings to my fellow music lovers, theatregoers, and of course everyone in between once again!!!! This week, I’m bringing you another song recommended by one of our recent staff and very hardworking generals Kirby, for Song of the Week #24 called Open Arms by the Cast of EPIC: The Musical and Jorge Rivera-Herrans!!!

Here’s what Kirby had to say about this song:

Open Arms by EPIC: The Musical is a song about Odysseyus’s best friend and fellow crew member, Polites, trying to convince Odysseus that kindness is great. I am a really big fan of EPIC, and when SOTW #23 was posted, I was really excited! The song happens earlier in the story, when Odysseus and Polites are looking around an island the crew had found to make sure it is safe. Polites tries to convince Odysseus to relax, and lower his guard, and then Polites befriends the Lotus Eaters that were native to the island. This is one of my favorite songs in the series, and I hope others can listen to this.. with open arms!

What a great description, and beautiful ending, Kirby! As I mentioned, this musical is such a fantastic piece of artwork that I would repeatedly watch on my free time and I love the albums with their war-like hype and energy or the somber and melodic moments of the songs.

If you love impactful and war-like songs, this one is a must. You can find it on Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music. Give it a listen, and I’ll be back next week with another song!!!
