I don’t understand why people keep saying that Gabe goes away at the end of next to normal. In Light Diana literally says „some hurts never heal / some ghosts are never gone“ as Gabe stands on the stairs behind them all. Like. He‘s faded into the background and they‘re learning to live with his presence in a healthier way but he will never truly leave. You have to acknowledge your grief to process it but that doesn’t mean it just goes away. That’s the whole point I fear.

as much as i LOVE LOVE LOVE the current aesthetic of hadestown, i do mourn the previous “folk-opera” (as described by anaïs) feel of it. eurydice in her dirtied skirt and orpheus with his fret-sprouting acoustic guitar, upon the deep southern american hillside, it felt more like a ballad of the great depression where it struck hardest. a pure tale of love through desperation, which is at it’s core, hadestown’s message. the original hadestown felt like crickets buzzing down in louisiana, jazz echoing out the bar’s cracked window. poor boys and hungry girls with a love so filthy it became beautiful. the original hadestown is so hopeful, it’s a folk tale of something divine through something so terrifyingly human. Can we bring it back pls

i like thinking about eurydice’s childhood. we know orpheus was abandoned by his mother, a muse, and raised by hermes but literally all we know about Eurydice is that shes a runaway. theres so much explored. we don’t know how old she was when she ran away, who her parents were, if she had any siblings. maybe she didnt have any parents at all. where else has she run away from? where else has she been? where did she come from? where was once home, if there ever was home? what happened????? anais mitchell, please elaborate on my daughter’s beginnings.

[hellssongbird]

Okay so technically if you consider the early version of Any Way The Wind Blows, which obviously narrates eurydice’s past, there’s the lyrics “sisters gone, gone the gypsy route, brother’s gone, gone for a job down south” so we can infer eurydice has those two siblings. we still don’t know anything about her parents but thats enough to know she was abandoned (“aint nobody gonna stick around”), or at least she feels abandoned, by her siblings. in common myth she’s also cited as Apollo’s daughter. however orpheus is also commonly cited as a child of Apollo in myth but it’s only confirmed hes the son of a muse, assumingely Calliope, in the musical so it’s not really definitive if we’re talking hadestown. it’d be kind of weird if anaïs kept them both as children of apollo so that’s almost assuredly not the case. Ok the point of this is i just want to know more about both their backstories

i truly understand orpheus because i turn around maybe too much. All the time. i’ll turn around to check if my friend is following me ten times in a minute. she’s had to say “don’t worry, damn, i’m following you!” i make my brother hold my hand in public spaces so i don’t lose him even if they’re not crowded at all. i turn and i turn and i turn. i look around to see if my friends are still standing in the same spot when i KNOW they have specifically stationed themself there. i love turning around because i love knowing they’re there. and if i have to, i will go down to the underworld and yank them back out

where did you get that melody

I don’t know, it came to. Like I’d known it all along..

[hellssongbird]

the fact that BON IVER was the first orpheus is still literally crazy to me
