Lightning Thief Cast, The - The Tree On The Hill Lyrics






[Percy:]
Who's Thalia?

[Grover:]
You're not the first half-blood I was sent to protect. I should've told you, but I-I thought that if I did, you'd never want me on this quest. If you knew what a failure I was. Ask Annabeth

There's a tree on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill

That watches over us
Silent and still

And no one at camp is safe until
We can see the tree on the Hill

This was way before I met you. Chiron sent me to escort three half-bloods back to camp. Two were runaways. One was Annabeth. The other was Luke. The third was Thalia
Tough girl. Like her dad... Zeus

[Percy:]
I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods

[Grover:]
You are now. We'd only made it back to camp, but I got nervous and we got lost and by the time we found the hill... something else found us

And there on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill

A cold wind blew
Dark and chill

For nothing would slake its wrathful will
We had to make a stand

And maybe if I'd been a little bit braver
Maybe if I stayed behind to fight
But "maybe" doesn't let me go back and save her

"Maybe" doesn't make it alright

Thalia saved us. We only survived because she stayed to hold off the monsters. She paid for her sacrifice with her life. That's when Zeus showed up

[Percy:]
He saved her... right?

[Grover:]
It was too late for that. As she died, he turned her into a tree, so she could stand protecting us, forever. The way I couldn't do for her

There's a tree on the Hill
Up on Half-Blood Hill

That protects us all
And always will

And it's there reminding me
Of all I failed to be

The tree on the Hill

Lightning Thief Cast, The The Tree On The Hill Comments
  1. R.... E....

    1:10 that beat drop thoooo

  2. L.... R....

    Grover's voice makes me die inside. Funny, Thalia became a tree, and then she became a hunter for the goddess of nature. GO THALIA GRACE!

  3. A.... G....

    Let’s be real did ANYONE pronounce Thalia as ‘Talia’ when they were reading it?

  4. C.... F....

    Grover, when i read / heard this, u were /are my hero

  5. M.... P....

    “maybe doesn’t make It alright” aaaahh stop attacking my weak heart 😭😭

  6. C.... ....

    1:30 1:10

  7. T.... M....

    And there on the hill above Half-Blood hill, my buddy kinda left me alone

  8. L.... P....

    You know the singing is good when it makes you cry even though you know that, ultimately, Thalia is fine 😂😭

  9. J.... D....

    My gods how is this so much more accurate then the movies?!

  10. A.... ....

    Why can a musical interpret the books better than a movie?

  11. L.... T....

    "that protects us all, and always will"


    Sea of Monsters: Allow me to introduce myself

  12. I.... t....

    Percy: "I thought I was the only kid of the Big Three gods!"
    Me: Not everything's about you, Percy!!! Continue, Grover.

  13. s.... t....

    1:10 i love george sm

  14. O.... K....

    Aw man, Satyrs reincarnate into plants when they die. That's what Grover meant about failing to be 'the tree on the hill' at 2:30. That's so heart breaking.

  15. c.... X....

    Imagine Luke singing this song

    c.... X....

    OMGS NO I AM A THALUKE SHIPPER AND U JUST HURT MY HEART

  16. K.... S....

  17. L.... T....

    Thalia.It’s Thalia not Talia.Know how I know that?Because it’s a Greek name and in Greek they don’t have “t” so it’s either Dahlia or Thalia.Thaleia was a muse of poetry so.....

  18. I.... J....

    SALAZAR

  23. B.... M....

    Grover in the bathroom Grover in the bathroom at a partyyyy

  24. a.... ....

    george salazar knows how to make me so fucking happy and so fucking sad at the same time.

  25. q.... i....

    Part of me is glad that Grover has his own song, because every character played by George Salazar should have their own song.
    The other part of me is loudly crying on the floor.

  26. C.... J....

    IM NOT CRYING...... my EYeS aRe sWeatiNg

  27. M.... W....

    I haven’t thought of these characters in years but this made me almost tear up tbh

  28. S.... P....

    For those of you who have read TOA3: does anyone else think of this but Jason & Piper/Apollo

  29. V.... V....

    If this was on APPLE MUSIC it would be in my sad playlist

  30. K.... D....

    George Salazar+Sad song= I'm crying

  31. K.... S....

    Percy: "Buy i thought I was the only kid of the big three gods?"
    Grover: "You are now."
    Me: *laughs in Ancient Greek*

  32. a.... ....

    I love that the guitar sounds like "wake me up when September ends" cos canonically Tahlia loved Green Day. Ughhhh, I love this musical already

  33. s.... s....

    "ask annabeth, she knows"
    *proceeds to tell percy everything*

  34. A.... L....

    So where the gods dumb enough to not put a border sooner

  35. E.... F....

    Percy: Whos thalia?
    Me: Dude havent you read your own second and third books.

  36. E.... K....

    "Maybe can't take me back to save her." AHHHHHH OH GOD MY HEART

  37. w.... ....

    i have no idea what this musical is but i love george so fuck it

    w.... ....

    It's the lightning thief a musical made after the Percy Jackson books. (Idk if you were asking but like)

  38. R.... ....

    Grover jUsT has my heart

  39. G.... L....

    I’ve got a bone to pick, the only thing I have against the musical, they mispronounce Thalia’s name, Uncle Rick pronounces it Thah-lee-a. Not Ta-lee-a

  40. q.... ....

    GEORGE IS MY SON

    q.... ....

    IKR MY BB

  41. L.... S....

    im gonna freAKING CRY ITS AS BAD AS IN THE THEATRE

  42. y.... t....

    Percy: I thought I was the only kid of the big three?
    Grover: You are now..
    Nico di Angelo, in Lotus casino with Bianca: laughs randomly
    Bianca: Nico wtf

  43. M.... B....

    1:29 the saddest part

    M.... B....

    ikr i always belt it out

  44. t.... p....

    Do you all ever put off listening to a musical because you feel like you will become obsessed with it but you don’t wanna do that rn bc it consumes you and you currently don’t have the time for that? This is one of those musicals for me. I so badly want to listen but Ik that my entire soul (a bit dramatic Ik but what can I say, I’m a theatre kid) will be consumed by this and I will laugh and cry and have the biggest highs and the biggest lows, and I don’t have time for that rn and I want to focus on the life that I have :) anyway, rant over, I just felt like getting this out somewhere :))

  45. :.... ....

    this is the equivalent of Michael in the Bathroom

  46. R.... R....

    The sad moment when you realize the oooo's in the background is Thalia singing

  47. M.... A....

    the way George over emphasises Zeus is really funny.
    but can I just say, "ask Annabeth, she knows." is basically the motto of the pjo series?

  48. R.... Q....

    Michael in the bathroom

  49. K.... y....

    i think the weird dream reprise got sent to private O.o;;;

  50. R.... ....

    Evan Hansen would be so proud!

  51. K.... K....

    omg this song makes me cry i know the hole story and the backround music just ahhhhh so sad

  52. g.... ....

    *POOR GROVER AWWWW THE POOR BAB*

  53. C.... N....

    When Grover says "Ask Annabeth, she knows," I Imagine Annabeth being like "Nope," and Grover sighs as he tells the story himself

  54. k.... A....

    Im not crying,you are

  55. T.... G....

    Percy: “I thought I was the only kid of the big three gods”


    SAY THAT TO YOUR BROTHER TYSON

    NICO AND BICNCA AND JASON


















































    WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET TYSON

  56. R.... ....

    When you realise this is George Salazar and you silently curse yourself for not realising it sooner.

  57. B.... N....

    Grover: “And maybe if I’d been a little bit braver”
    Me: SHIT!!! I DIDNT WANT TO CRY WITH THIS

  58. M.... S....

    This one is so said but I love it!
    "Maybe dosen't let me got back and save her!"
    This apples so much to people wanting to change things.

  59. A.... S....

    Okay but can we please have a recording of the tour cast? Because last month when I saw the show in Worcester the way Jorrel sang this was absolutely heartbreaking

  60. D.... W....

    How is this one 3 minutes song a better adaptation than the entirety of two full length movies

  61. A.... J....

    Literally three seconds into the sound I was crying my eyes out!

  62. T.... Q....

    *ugly sobbing*

  63. b.... 9....

    This song is sad until he says Zeus turned her into a tree. It sounds really stupid when you say it like. Not to mention she comes back in the next book so....

  64. G.... ....

    you not "thee" Thalia

  65. J.... C....

    SPOILER This made me cry even tho Thalia is okay

  66. B.... ....

    This played on a shuffle on Spotify at midnight and I was half asleep crying my eyes out to this song

  67. K.... B....

    IM CRYING POOR GROVER AAAAAHHHH MY CHILDHOOD

  68. E.... B....

    such an underrated amazing musical

  69. P.... ....

    Her dad.... *z o o s*

    P.... ....

    PrinceOuiji I want to correct it but I know it’s a joke

  70. Y.... S....

    I'M SO SORRY but this sounds exactly like those hillsong praises where it's like "jesus stood and sacrificed himself for us, and now we will do whatever we can to make up for that"

  71. T.... H....

    Officially my favorite song in the entire show. So much emotion... 😭

  72. s.... ....

    my emotional connection with pjo makes me cry harder when listening to this heiheiwhwuhwhw

  73. A.... ....

    I know what happens cause of the books but..... * THE FEELS*

  74. T.... U....

    1:10 !!!!!!!!

  75. C.... C....

    Grover: The tree that protects us and always will

    The Sea of Monsters: Hold my beer

  76. F.... M....

    hxweajnwfihuejnsdirgnwe man, George and Groover just need HUGS

  77. C.... C....

    mY POOR GOAT BABY

  78. t.... v....

    the backing vocals fuck me up

  79. M.... M....

    Time to cry

  80. M.... S....

    *wood* it make me a bad person if I didn’t cry during this?
    _-also yes i just made a tree joke-_

    M.... S....

    I rarely cry listening to music (the only song that’s able to consistently make me cry is The Goodbye Song by...you guessed it...George). I get goosebumps tho

  81. J.... ....

    The one thing I’m not happy about: we don’t get to see Grover’s reaction to when Thalia comes back
    like I want to see him crying and hugging her like he probably did

  82. C.... 6....

    I know what happens to Thalia, but still get goosebumps from this song, and a bunch of others in the musical

  83. J.... P....

    im in love with the way he says "dark and chill" idk why but i cant stop listening to it

  84. H.... R....

    Mmmmmmmm I’m not ok😢

  85. O.... ....

    You know what makes me feel a little better? Imagining Grover braying like a donkey instead of sobbing.

    Wait, that doesn't help at all.

  86. s.... ....

    this hurt me

  87. C.... G....

    To say 5 sorry

  88. C.... G....

    No-one noticed that he meant to so 5 people

  89. J.... V....

    Why is George so good at making me cry?

  90. H.... H....

    The 29 dislikes are the friends of the monsters Thalia killed that night.

  91. T.... G....

    Those maybes on 1:29 just give me chills, amazing!

    T.... G....

    Grace Jones, I know, right? He is a great singer! Gives me the chills every time!

  92. t.... ....

    Percy: hi

    Grover: so theres a tree

    Yeah


    And then

    Uh

    Annabeth

    And

    Um

    Um

    Daddy

    Uh thalia went kaputzki

    The end

  93. t.... ....

    I haven’t finished the soundtrack, so idk if this is in it, but Grover tells Percy that Half Blood Hill is his summer home.

  94. O.... M....

    He came in with the chorus and I started blubbering like a baby

  95. P.... S....

    Pretty late I know. If anyone knows, please answer: how old is Grover in the book? Is he the same age as Percy and Annabeth? How old are they when they get their first demigods?

  96. R.... W....

    whats the private vid about?

  97. C.... S....

    GEORGE FREAKING SALAZAR
