@@vanguardbreaker8826 id say hes more of an anti-villain. He wanted to destroy the Olympians for neglecting their demigod children. He also wanted to avenge his mother. It's just that, Kronos got to him and manipulated him to do things that would also hurt his friends (Annabeth and Thalia)
I feel like I can hear those, or maybe a sort of resigned sorrow or something, in his voice in the musical? I can’t remember how it was described in the book, but I can sound an emotion in that general area in the song, or at least the cast album? I can’t remember what it was like when I saw it live, though.
@@dat_trashyshipper5158 I don't think Luke was a hero, he did one decent thing after years of awful acts. Sure he had his reasons and they were understandable but that doesn't erase anything.
okay but when luke says "tough last day" it gets so much darker when you realize that at this scene in the book he tried to kill percy with pit scorpion venom
I fell like people who love Percy Jackson avoid this because they do not want the disappointment that the movies gave us but in reality it is better then the movies. I just really like the music too.
Is it bad I just realized that the title the lightning thief was referring to Luke and not Percy this whole time through out all the books, musical, etc
Guess what on this soundtrack someone who obviously didn’t read the books on the oracle he thought Grover was the one left in the underworld it’s the first comment on the bottom of the oracle
This song. This song in particular breaks my heart. I don’t cry necessarily, but I feel emotions I can’t quite describe. Having not read the books nor watched the movies, I came into this musical blind. (Truthfully I came for George Salazar) But hearing this song and Luke’s reprise of Good Kid made me truly sad and sympathetic towards him. Let me explain: Coming into this musical Luke was depicted as this put together responsible camp counselor that kids looked up to, I never suspected him to be the villain of this story. But hearing his reprise of Good Kid let me see the hurt scared kid inside of him he’s angry and hurt that his dad never visited and it truly breaks my heart. I don’t blame him for wanting revenge on the gods, this may be the villain I’m most sympathetic to... This song is amazing.
I was totally shocked when I finished the Lightning thief. In the book Luke even tried to murder Percy at the end with a scorpion. Like you say, I really didn't except that.
This scene has always made me almost cry! When I read the first book I fell in love with Luke and never expected him to turn evil. When he did I was so upset! He is still one of my favorites of course but he is still bad...
Sunstream Clifford ya I loved clarrise. The teacher read the book to us in class and shes like raise your hand if you like clarrise and I was the only one raising my hand. Lol.
I'm probably the only one but I feel so bad for Luke! He was at camp since he was 11 or 12 years old. He felt pained because his own father left him with his mother, who probably did something to scar the poor kid considering the condition May was in. All he wanted was someone to give him some recognition. Look at the books! Percy even said he understood how Luke felt! I just really feel bad for him. He deserved better! Which is why I believe he went to Elysium. Edit three years later: oof nevermind
Btw his mom is like that cause she tried to be the oracle and saw to much then failed cause hades put a curse on the oracle. And Luke got his scar from his first quest from a dragon. ;)
Seriously, my friend and I were looking at a fanart of Luke with the lyrics to his part of this song in the car and we started singing it and her parents looked at us weird.
It is so heartbreaking when Luke reprises “Good Kid”! You know he wants revenge and he has no remorse when he sings it but at the same time his voice is shivering! The sheer amount of emotion behind it all is amazing!
Me (reading coment): Yeah, biggest jerks in world. "Suden thunder outside" Me: Shut up Zeus. THAT IS TRUE. "Lightning strikes" Me (jumping in 2 feet): Holly guacamole! Okey you are the best. SATISFAED? "evrything stops" Me (in mind): JERKS!!!
Luke is the best villain everrrrrr EDIT: Now that i've read the books and have a better understanding of his character, I don't agree that Luke's a villain - but he's still an awesome character!
Hermes left him with his insane mother and not even once helped him, even after he ran away and on top of it all he lost his best friend. His hatred was completely justified
He died a hero. But he didn't live like one. He saved them in the end, but if he hadn't joined Kronos in the first place, they wouldn't have needed saving. Ethan, Selena, Bekendorf, Michael, so many others wouldn't have died if it wasn't for him.
80% of the Comments are: "Feeling Bad For Luke, how heartbreaking his part is, and knowing how Luke feels because of knowing his past when they read the fifth book" 20% of the Comments are: this song and the musical 2:46 😭 tbh. im not blaming luke to feel that way. he deserved a break
ok i actually like luke and believe he was a very well written character, i feel so sade for him like legit ALL HE WANTS IS HIS DAD TO RESOGNIZE/BE PROUD of him i mean is it that hard, and i understand where he's coming from with being angry with his dad, hermes didn't visit at all he left him with his mom, and didn't even help so i understand why he wants to join kronos his story is just so sad
This song touched me more than any of the other ones...I'm not saying the rest of them aren't good, but this, THIS,is on a totally different level.. You can feel Luke's hurt and anger at Hermes for never visiting him/talking to him/giving any sign of acknowledging him...I won't say I cried,but... Luke's version of Good Kid,that really _felt_ , especially "The gods were never on our side So I think I'll watch them fall" This is honestly the best PJ thing since the books,which I love... RIP Luke Castellan He would have gone to Elysium in The Last Olympian. He was a HERO at the end.
Everyone says Luke turned evil I think he realized the mistakes of the world they lived in just like Percy, and thought the only way to live was to destroy the gods. He was a hurt kid. Sure that didn't give him a right to hurt his friends, but here you can hear his pain. His father abandoned him, a terrified kid who ran away from his mom because she wasn't stable. Honestly? I can't honestly say I wouldn't have done something close to the same thing
I can understand luke’s situation it makes sense your parents have fun with your mortal parent then they don’t care for you like in the end of the lightning thief poseidon basically called percy wrongdoing
Even if there isn't a duet (because this is the lightning thief, and they aren't together yet), at least the book series has so many cute moments! They are too precious together.
I’m wayyyy late to this thread, but I agree that they should’ve had a duet. Even though they weren’t a thing in The Lightning Thief, there definitely could have been a duet for their rivalry growing into friendship since they didn’t get along with each other in the beginning. So not a romantic ballad, but a duet could have worked
Zeus: *”SON OF POSEIDON U BETTER BRING ME MY BOLT U LITTLE LIGHTNING THIEF!!!!”* Percy: a literal 12 year old kid who’s just trying to be a good kid and pass school and deal with problems while being completely oblivious to the world of demigods “😀😃 what”
Luke's scene always makes me cry but after listening to this for like the billionth time I realized something. So you know how Luke said "Tough last day?" Well I was like that sounds familiar and then it clicked. When Percy and Luke met, Luke said "Tough first day?" And I was like- .........wOoOoAh
Question:Do u think that Percy knowing that his dad is Poseidon by this point influenced whether he joined or didn't join Luke. Like, what if he didn't know who his dad was and was like "Yeah, screw the gods let's kill them all." Just something to think about. 🤔 Anyone have any ideas?
totally, Percy was just as salty (pun intended) as Luke, only he managed to overcome his feelings. Luke has had years and years of pent up rage towards his father and most of it was not knowing who he was and for leaving
@@cutewolf360 actually Luke knew Hermès was his dad since he was a child, but mainly because it was in his mother’s mad ramblings- her insanity was also the gods’ fault, and he blamed Hermès for it (it was Apollo’s fault) and also met an Apollo kid that the man had cursed to live a tortuous existence, forced to lure children to horrific deaths, know it was his fault, and only being able to eat what supplies the kids had on them (this was also Apollo’s fault). A lot of Luke’s trauma can actually be blamed on Apollo.
Some people listening to the song may think luke is really bad and they get mad about it, I thought the same when I read the first book, but just wait until the last book
i LOVE this song. I went into this musical blind and instantly fell in love with Luke and grover. Luke’s reprise if good kid is so heartbreaking and beautiful I can’t even 😭😭 I’m so happy I get the honor of playing Luke in the show I’m doing!!
I just made a lil' random parody. Don't mind meeee.... [MAIN CHARACTER] What do you do when the party's ended? What do you do when the battle's won? So many questions left unanswered So many things still left undone What do you do When it's up to you to choose: Has something ended or begun? Stay or go?

Why do I feel There's something left I still Need to find? Where do you go when it's over? MAIN CHARACTER & ENSEMBLE What do you do when you're debating The past and the present?

It's the end of my childhood, but I don't feel like anything's over. FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] : I get it. MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (spoken) Maturity was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. I started to change, but everything else stayed the same. (sung) They say life was made this safe, exciting space. (spoken) The truth: it's falling to pieces. (sung) Positivity won't bother to show it's face It's time to make the world our own Time someone put our life in it's place... (spoken) Everyone thought we millennials were screwing our future, but it was bigger than that. It's about wiping it out - and taking our turn. FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] (spoken) You're a traitor. MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (spoken) I'm a youth. The new generation. It's time we show dominance FUTURE (spoken) You are trying to mess with the fabric of time and life. Why? MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (sung) In the month of August I started to live I did everything life ever asked, yeah I did And for what? You know this world will never be ours As long as our messed up future rules over the stars So I'll do anything I don't care if I hurt anyone It doesn't pay to be a good kid, A good kid, and you better run! Fate was never on our side So I think it's time we watch it fall And soon you'll see what I did Soon they'll be no future at all! Yup....that's it. The idea just popped into my head...I hope you liked it!
Parody for my original character of Luke's part. Norse mythology story so... I've been here (Asgard) since I was a kid! I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did! And for what? You know these worlds will never be ours As long as the Aesir rule over the stars. So I'll do anything, I don't care if I hurt anyone! It doesn't pay to be a good kid, A good kid, A good kid. The gods were never on our side, So I think it's time we watch them fall! And soon you'll see what I did, Soon they'll be no gods at all! (She's the daughter of Loki and is very vengeful at Odin and the Aesir for what they did to her family)
Luke will always be my favorite character, cause I can relate to him on many levels. Like while my dad was in my life I guess he really hasn't been there for me. and I've felt like he just tosses me to my mom when he doesn't want to deal with me. I've never considered Luke evil tho, just very hurt and broken and he doesn't know how to deal with it, and with a bunch of kids from camp looking up to him, he has to be this perfect role model for them and didn't have a place to let out all the things he bottled up. it was just eating him alive
K N maybe how Zeus turned Thalia into a tree, part of the reason being to remind Grover how much of a failure he was. He sings about it in The Tree on the Hill
I kind of saw Luke's betrayal coming when I read the books for the first time. I mean, there's always this person who's really nice to the protagonist without a good reason;they're usually the second nice person the protagonist meats, because the first is their best friend. And that nice person, often a little older, always either dies or betrays the protagonist. So yeah.
i was watching the musical pretty late at night and i had a bunch of homework i was doing so around the end i was just kinda tired and not really paying attention. and then luke started singing good kid reprised, immediately woke me up bc of how good it was
I'm not a huge fan of the musical but the books are my childhood and still mean a lot to me, so hearing Luke's part, also loving Good Kid, makes me choke up. Luke was right and he was a kid hurt and manipulated and he just wanted to be seen. It really hurts me how the Gods just didn't give a shit about their kids and used them as pawns.
I haven't seen the musical or the movie or read the books so I might sound stupid but oh well. So I don't understand how Percy didn't know Luke was the traitor, didn't he see/hear him in his dream?
He felt the voice sounded familiar, but he didn't recognize it. Only when Luke revealed his true colours at the end did Percy realize why his voice sounded so familiar.
As a fan of the books, I have a love/hate relationship with this musical. I love the songs. Hate that Percy and Annabeth are teens and not 12 year olds
i love it how luke says "the oracle warned you 'betrayed by a friend'" with no hint of remorse or regret. it really brought out his villain side
Right.... I was so depressed when I learned he was a Villan... Good thing at the end he was. Hero
CookieBook Lover ehh more antihero
@@vanguardbreaker8826 id say hes more of an anti-villain. He wanted to destroy the Olympians for neglecting their demigod children. He also wanted to avenge his mother.

You should read the books, you'd learn more about his TERRIBLE past.

I don't find it creepy but it twisted my emotions which is why I hear this song every day
Cupcake2006 I’m glad you replied no one ever replies to my comments so that makes my day thanks
I think they’re just trying to show how Luke used to feel (much how like Percy felt in the song Good Kid)
Bells Haven ya true
It’s to show that Luke and Percy’s stories were so similar, but Luke was just dealt a worse hand
Can we just stop and appreciate the amazing harmonies that CHB has?
This song actually makes me think about Luke's side in the series. I mean, the gods were jerks, he wasn't wrong :')

The about Luke is that his version of Good Kid you can tell him and Percy are very similar except he never had a good mother to follow.
i cant argue with Luke. he hates his dad. he never visits and he eanted revenge. his story makes me cry.
Hermes left him with his insane mother and not even once helped him, even after he ran away and on top of it all he lost his best friend. His hatred was completely justified
Not the Kronos part though. That’s worse than the gods.
@@thatsroughbuddy8742 Thats the tragic thing Kronos captialized on Luke's resentment towards the gods.
@@drhappybanana8533 ye he was a victim himself
You can sympathize with Luke's story in the books but the end of this song really puts it into perspective
Everyone is saying how Luke turns evil
He kills him self in the end to stop Kronos so he's a hero
I thought everyone knew sorry
He died a hero. But he didn't live like one. He saved them in the end, but if he hadn't joined Kronos in the first place, they wouldn't have needed saving. Ethan, Selena, Bekendorf, Michael, so many others wouldn't have died if it wasn't for him.

I could stay back then for a piece of the nostalgia,
But what about peace of mind?
Ugh! What's my deal?
Why do I feel
There's something left I still
Need to find?
Where do you go when it's over?
MAIN CHARACTER & ENSEMBLE
What do you do when you're debating
The past and the present?
MAIN CHARACTER (spoken)
How come I don't just look ahead? Well.
I've tried. I couldn't deal with the stress,
and I felt life couldn't deal with me. It was just asking for trouble.
SHOULDER ANGEL (spoken)
Sometimes family is worth the trouble. Believe me.
MAIN CHARACTER (spoken)
I guess I've got a choice to make, Mister perfect.
ALL
Where do you go when it's over?
What do you when you're debating
The past and the present?
MAIN CHARACTER(spoken)
Hey, Future!
THE FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] (spoken)
I've barely seen you for a while. You avoiding me?
MAIN CHARACTER (spoken)
Not at all.
FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] (spoken)
Tough day?
MAIH CHARACTER(spoken)
I thought when I grew up, everything would make sense.
But it doesn't. It's the end of my childhood, but I don't feel like anything's over.
FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] : I get it.
MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (spoken)
Maturity was supposed to be the biggest thing in my life. I started to change, but everything else stayed the same.
(sung)
They say life was made
this safe, exciting space.
(spoken)
The truth: it's falling to pieces.
(sung)
Positivity won't bother to show it's face
It's time to make the world our own
Time someone put our life in it's place...
(spoken)
Everyone thought we millennials were screwing our future, but it was bigger than that.
It's about wiping it out - and taking our turn.
FUTURE [PERSONIFIED] (spoken)
You're a traitor.
MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (spoken)
I'm a youth. The new generation. It's time we show dominance
FUTURE (spoken)
You are trying to mess with the fabric of time and life. Why?
MAIN CHARACTER [CORRUPT] (sung)
In the month of August I started to live
I did everything life ever asked, yeah I did
And for what?
You know this world will never be ours
As long as our messed up future rules over the stars
So I'll do anything
I don't care if I hurt anyone
It doesn't pay to be a good kid,
A good kid, and you better run!
Fate was never on our side
So I think it's time we watch it fall
And soon you'll see what I did
Soon they'll be no future at all!
Yup....that's it. The idea just popped into my head...I hope you liked it!
Parody for my original character of Luke's part. Norse mythology story so...
I've been here (Asgard) since I was a kid!
I did everything they ever asked, yeah I did!
And for what?
You know these worlds will never be ours
As long as the Aesir rule over the stars.
So I'll do anything,
I don't care if I hurt anyone!
It doesn't pay to be a good kid,
A good kid,
A good kid.
The gods were never on our side,
So I think it's time we watch them fall!
And soon you'll see what I did,
Soon they'll be no gods at all!
(She's the daughter of Loki and is very vengeful at Odin and the Aesir for what they did to her family)
At the end of the series around the fourth book I felt bad for the kid. The only thing he wanted was to be loved by his father.
Ahh this is my fav song in the whole soundtrack
Luke will always be my favorite character, cause I can relate to him on many levels. Like while my dad was in my life I guess he really hasn't been there for me. and I've felt like he just tosses me to my mom when he doesn't want to deal with me. I've never considered Luke evil tho, just very hurt and broken and he doesn't know how to deal with it, and with a bunch of kids from camp looking up to him, he has to be this perfect role model for them and didn't have a place to let out all the things he bottled up. it was just eating him alive
imagine how much more heartbreaking it would be if it was Grover
Cinnamon/ Hoosh don’t even omg
What motive would Grover even have?
K N maybe how Zeus turned Thalia into a tree, part of the reason being to remind Grover how much of a failure he was. He sings about it in The Tree on the Hill
@@katiewalker7618 that’s also arguably a large part of Luke’s motivation, too
I kind of saw Luke's betrayal coming when I read the books for the first time. I mean, there's always this person who's really nice to the protagonist without a good reason;they're usually the second nice person the protagonist meats, because the first is their best friend. And that nice person, often a little older, always either dies or betrays the protagonist. So yeah.
i was watching the musical pretty late at night and i had a bunch of homework i was doing so around the end i was just kinda tired and not really paying attention. and then luke started singing good kid reprised, immediately woke me up bc of how good it was
6 years and i’m still obsessed!!!!❤
This song makes me super nostalgic of my 5th grade obsession with PJO.
I'm not a huge fan of the musical but the books are my childhood and still mean a lot to me, so hearing Luke's part, also loving Good Kid, makes me choke up. Luke was right and he was a kid hurt and manipulated and he just wanted to be seen. It really hurts me how the Gods just didn't give a shit about their kids and used them as pawns.
Gotta love Luke's part
Luke's reprise isn't just heartbreaking, to me at least, is actually sounds scary.
every time i listed to this song (or any tlt song) it gives me CHILLS people
Oki, if he began singing this to my face, i’d take out my dagger before walking backwards and eventually tripping over a rock.
Who agrees that the musical was better than the movies? I sure do.
Family Luke, you promised
NOOO WHY
I’m sobbing
2:06
when the song starts to get slower you know shit's about to go down
This is such a banger, honestly if musicals could have sequels I wish this one would get one
I haven't seen the musical or the movie or read the books so I might sound stupid but oh well. So I don't understand how Percy didn't know Luke was the traitor, didn't he see/hear him in his dream?
He felt the voice sounded familiar, but he didn't recognize it. Only when Luke revealed his true colours at the end did Percy realize why his voice sounded so familiar.
I love this
This hits different on the last day of summer break going into 6th grade 😢😢😢
As a fan of the books, I have a love/hate relationship with this musical. I love the songs. Hate that Percy and Annabeth are teens and not 12 year olds
Probably my fav song in the playlist next to Lost! and Drive.
3:11
I'm crying :/
Just heard this today on spotify. Been listening for a good 4 hours now. i love it. 2020/05/15 1:52pm
I memorized this whole song in 2 hours
Currently watching this on the last day of my summer vacation.
I am singing this for the last day of summer
The last day of summer before high school...
I feel so distant from them now
1:39 gave me goosebumps...
that moment when you find out your boyfriend's trying to kill all the gods, including your dad :///
and then the next year you learn that you were being groomed by your first cousin once removed
Singing this on the last day of summer
I wish Luke didn't betray Camp, his reprise of Good Kid hit really hard
I love Luke’s part and I feel so bad abt it
I love Luke's part!!!
Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you just want to go APESHIT?
2:05
just my favourite part, marking it for my own sake
Who else had a crush on Luke even when he turned evil?
Like had some serious daddy issues
Anyone else love Percy's little grunts? Like in Expelled he goes "My life? Mm." And now it's "But what abt peace of mine? UGH" like so cute.
"What do you do when the has ended"
Get thrown into tartarus
its better than the movies, fandom
*ITS BOOK ACCUUURRRAAAATEEE*
2:51 is the start of the best part

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good job
2:51 is when the song ending starts
1:20 is amazing
2:51
2:40 onwards is my favourite bit
