Pick A Side (Sarah Beth Pfeifer, Jalynn Steele & James Hayden Rodriguez) 

I love Luke subtly influencing his friends to not join their parents. He never blatantly says that he doesn’t want the gods to fight he just says that they shouldn’t fight their battles

"Whoever says love is worthless, I'll pulverize them!" TITAN'S CURSE SILENA SAID IT TO ZOE

"My Mom doesn't believe in war!" "Oh yeah? Then why does she keep texting my Dad?"

also i love how all three of them are wearing beanies

I love how at the start Luke is like: who stole the bolt. Acting innocent

James' riff at the end KILLS ME aaahhhhh but also the part where Sarah Beth and Jalynn sing "last olympians standing" JUST HURTS A LOT

sarah beth could actually kill me and i’d thank her

Okay but it kind of scares me how accurate Luke’s voice is to how I imagined it

“Percy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag.” One of my favorite lines ever. For reference, this is from the house of hades. At the end after the huge climax, the gang is having a picnic with Reyna. She was telling the group, “after I found Jason’s note, tracking you down was easy.” Then Percy tells her, “Reyna, your being modest. You flew half way across the world by yourself to answer Annabeth’s plea, knowing it is our only chance to make peace. That’s pretty freakin heroic.” Rena just shrugs and says, “says the demigod who fell into tarterous and found his way back.” then Annabeth says, “he had help.” To which Reyna replies, “oh, obviously, without you, I don’t think Percy can find his way out of a paper bag.” To which Annabeth responds, “true.” And everyone in the group starts laughing. This probably one of my favorite chill scenes in the entire series, especially considering how intense the climax was. A lot of people are pointing out this reference, so I just thought I’ll write down the scene. By the way, the dialogue is not word for word. I wrote it from memory. I think it’s pretty close though.

me during the first two minutes of the video: let me see james sing! lET ME SEE JAMES SING!!

“Come on, Selena, we don’t have to fight their battles!” That line gave me goosebumps-

“Percy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag.” HOUSE OF HADES. REYNA! TO! ANNABETH!

i’ll never hear this song and not think of chris saying “saying it to my face sarah beth”

"Hey-" Luke started. "Wait-" he tried again. "It's their fight, why bother?" Luke said but his voice wasn't as loud as Silena and Clarrise at the moment. "I would never help my father," he mutters. He glanced at Silena then decided to play along and 'go on their side'. *I FELT LIKE IT*

anyone else literally just melt of happiness from the harmonies and riff of 2:21

I'm so excited there's an official recording of this because I don't have to keep going back to the LT concert at the Green room to listen to it xD This is prob one of my fav cut songs

WE NEED ANAMATICS OF THIS SONGGGGGGGGG I mean, I'd love to make one, but I can't draw for schist, so...

James's voice is exactly how I imagined Luke's to be

0:39 “Percy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag” WHY DOES NOBODY REALIZE THIS IS A REFERENCE TO HOUSE OF HADES AFTER PERCY AND ANNABETH GET BACK FROM TARTARUSSS

I love this song with my whole heart and I wish it wasn’t cut. It’s so amazing, emotionally, and catchy at the same time. Also when Luke says “I will never help my father” it breaks my heart every time

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the line 'Prissy Percy' s gonna lose his Poseidon Adventure'

im SOOO gay for clarisse so i looooove this

Rob just makes hits after hits and I couldn't be more grateful 🥺🥺 glad to hear these even when they didn't make it into the musical

Why isn’t anyone talking about how Clairiess and Selina singing together is like the start of their friendship

grover in drive: people are counting on us and i'm counting on you! Meanwhile in chb, the people:

the SOUND I MADE when i saw this omg guess i have a reason to get out of bed before 11 tomorrow lmao thanks rob!!

(I will never help my father) [All, CLARISSE, SILENA] We got a choice to make Can't be denied We got a choice to make To earn our pride We got a choice to make Can't run and hide You better Pick a Side

I feel like this is the one song that shouldn't have been cut. Really adds something.

It’s like there is the song “Try”, (sang by Annabeth, Percy, and Grover) and then there is “Pick a Side”, (sang by Clarisse, Luke, and Selena) it’s kinda like different “squads” like Percy’s squad and Luke’s squad. Or Annabeth’s squad and Clarisse’s squad. Idk why I put “so much thought” into this lol.

Okay our lovely artists: please, make an animatic

#disneyadaptpercyjackson Animated or live action? PICK A SIDE!

Pick a Side has reeeaaally grown on me, I LOVE IT! The instrumentals, the vocals of the cast, the meaning behind the lyrics. IT'S SO GOOD! It makes me so happy every time I listen to it, like these guys (everyone involved) put so much passion and hard work into this musical, for this fandom. It didn't stand out the first time I heard it, but once I paid more attention to it individually, I fell in love. I really wish they kept this in the musical, if not for James Hayden Rodriguez's amazing voice :) (and for how much Sarah really fits what Clarisse would sound like!)

I love the song. Clarisse is so bad ass!

I don't know whose laugh that is at the end but I'm slightly in love with it.

this song really SNAPPED, ooh those vocals, that guitar, THOSE LYRICS AAH! Luke saying "I would never help my father" is so sad. And how part of him is trying to not get his friends involved because he doesn't want them to get hurt, that was never his plan..

Sarah Beth and Kristen Stokes are my idols

Everytime when Clarisse and Silena say The Whole “Last of the Olympians,” all I can hear is “Let’s go Lesbians” and I support

This is such a good song!!! The lyrics and the instrumental are amazing!!!

I see no reason why anyone would dislike this

that last harmony gives me chills more than anything

THAT LAST PART THAT CAME OUT OF JAMES HAYDEN RODRIGUEZ SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE dannng that was whicked

I like to imagine that if they did sing this song in the musical luke would of given Selena the necklace during or after this song. But in the background where not everyone will see

I wish Luke's vocals were boosted a bit. I love his parts but I need to strain to hear them.

my friend: i wanna play Percy or Annabeth me: let me be grover or Clarisse

I need to speak to the Person who decided this was going to be a bonus track, excuse me, what? This is a masterpiece 😍💕

1:54 Don't mind me this is just a replay button for me 😅

Luke’s Voice is like so accurate to what i imaged! also my favorite part was that “woah”

No offense but why am I sobbing alone in my room right now?

I thought I was the only one who sings with hand motions Thanks Sarah!

Jalynn Steele could beat me up and I would tell her how beautiful her voice is

James could play Luke in the live action remake and I wouldn't even care he does such a good job as him in the play

This is probably my favorite song out of the musical

I remembered listening to this when they performed in the green room and I searched everywhere for a studio version but I couldn't find one... So glad I found this!

Everyone else is talking about the war between the gods in this song- but Luke doesn't want them to pick sides in that war because he wants them on his side in the bigger war, between Kronos and the gods. He doesn't want to fight against them. He didn't anticipate campers on opposite sides in the godly war and he REALLY doesn't want that. (He didn't really think of himself as betraying all the demigods- just Percy, pretty much, and he was torn up about that. He wanted the campers to be on Kronos' side, so the new world after the gods would belong to them.) At least, that's how I interpret it. And it's really friggin sad. Luke was basically the big brother to all the demigods at Camp Half-Blood ;-; He genuinely thought that siding with Kronos would be better for them

I like the paper bag line because it is a reference to what Reyna says at the end of the House Of Hades

ok so on like wednesday i saw this on my subscriptions and got SO EXCITED but then i saw it was a premiere so i had to wait gfbdjhgb but im sooo glad this is up now, i saw it forever ago on the live concert uploaded to youtube and LOVE this song

you can hear luke say "we don't have to fight their battles" a hint to the fact that he's against the gods and wants this war to happen.

I'm so happy that we now have a studio version of this awesome and powerful song!! 😍😍😍

this is unironically my favorite song in the soundtrack even though it's not in the live version xpp

Oh my rats! Thank you!! This is beautiful! The end ALWAYS KILLS ME! It’s a amazing THANK YOU!

i loved the slight refrence to the last book in hoo "percy couldnt find his way out of a paper bag" lol

These 3+Ryan have the most unique voices in my opinion because they play so many characters that when i first hear the recording without looking up who plays who i was so shooo

Prissy percy’s gonna loose his Poseidon adventure And the harmony Are my favourite parts

This is a jam.

"The last olympian standing!" Everyone knows thats a reference to the last book of the Pjo series but in this vid (just between the 3 of them) isn't Clarisse sort of the last olympian standing since Silena and Luke.. you know

Why am I in love with all of them I-

Have these new songs been added to the live broadway show?

HELL YEAH I love this song!!!!!

Luke's part from 1:54 to 2:29 low key made me cry a lil

"Then why does she keep texting my dad?" I hope for Clarisse's sanity she's never _seen_ any of those texts... like, ew, that's her dad.

OMG YESSSSS I CANT WAIT!

Yeees 😍 We love quality content

YESSSS

my fav song !!!!🤩🤩🤩

he actually says "I'll never help my father"

“I will never help my father” -Luke

Oh my gosh I only just noticed the reference to The Last Olympian!

Oh my god I just realised “Percy couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag” is something Reyna said and “Whoever says love is worthless I’ll pulverize them” is something Silena said she’d do to Zoe for saying that- The DETAILS IN THIS

This being riddled with Percy jackson quotes

reminds me of among us and luke is the imposter

0:39 HOUSEE OFFF HADEEEESS

I have it on 2x and it’s great lol

Where can I find a good video of the actual musical? I've been searching for ages.

"My mom doesn't believe in war!" Aphrodite Areia: excuse me?

"We'll have to pick a side because this could be do or die" realize that both Silena and Luke joined kronos and they both died

Is it just me or do others think that the TLT musical actors still listen to these songs

Jalynn Steele’s voice is the voice equivalent of warm tea with honey fr

LUKEEEEE IS FIT 😍😍

Love it, but where would it go if it was in the musical?

I like this song. But you know what I don't like? What I'm trying to solve a hard math problem and my head is like "ThErE's A wAr GoInG dOwN, gOiNg DoWn, YeAh BaBy"

Luke being uncomfortable in the conversation, trying not to show his true colors.

I wish i had the Lyrik

Then why does she keep texting my dad? Lmao that was good

"My mother doesn't belive in war", Aphodite full on caused a war, honey

36 hours 😭😭😭

Luke just says “whoa” at 1:04 😂

Okay a version of this but for the big kronos battle or gaeas battle idk just a thought

There is one Imposter among us

Whoah. What's all this talk about Luke being bad? I thought he was nice. He gave Percy shoes! Of course, I haven't finished reading the series yet...

0:38 she signs something. Can anyone who’s taken more than 2 years of asl tell me what it is? It looks like sit, but I can’t tell the first sign.
