Why is Epic II shaping up to be one of my favorite songs from Hadestown?
no okay but persephone. when you listen to the soundtrack it's like she's a party girl she drinks and has fun but you guys dont understand because every single time she took a drink she grimaced. every single time. not once did she enjoy herself, because it wasn't her indulging in her wants it was her coping. and even!! even during livin it up on top when everyone takes a drink there's a moment of silence where they all look almost disgusted by it. none of them enjoy it it doesn't taste good to any of them yet still they drink it??
and then UGH okay because lady of the underground i was under the impression that she was interacting with the workers and whatnot like making the cracks in the wall that orpheus was about to break down but there's no one on stage. the only people on stage are the musicians, hermes, and persephone. none of the workers are there. she's singing to herself. do you understand do you get it?? especially with why do we build the wall right before that because I didn't realize persephone was in that song?? and the whole time she looks terrified. she Doesn't want to be here she Doesn't want to engage with this (my mom compared the song to being at a maga rally and she was 100% correct) but she does anyway, perhaps because she's forced to. and the look of heartbreak when eurydice appears; the way eurydice is confused and put off at first, but it doesn't take long for her to learn the words and join in????
eurydice and persephone is a whole other thing because I never realized how much of a relationship they had. like persephone is quick to be friendly with her, and eurydice is enthralled by that attention. but then during chant when persephone is singing about like the earth dying and people starving she's looking at eurydice walking by. she's looking at her and she looks heartbroken, she's reaching out to her but she can't reach her because she's not there. she watches as the fates strip eurydice of everything she has, and then that look of despair changes of one to fear as hades' eyes land on eurydice as he declares he'll find someone else who will be grateful. and I know that like flowers can be like an analogy for sa but I really felt it during that part. not so much in songbird vs rattlesnake? but definitely during the end of chant like AJHVSGDJAS.
and then like I said when eurydice enters the underworld persephone looks shaken. because she knows eurydice, and she knows orpheus, and- idk man. imagine being in hell and someone you know shows up, but you know they can't leave and you know they're soon to become a shell of who they once were. like. yeah
EDIT IF YOURE READING THIS CHECK THE REBLOGS THE ONE WITH BLUE'S TAGS IS THE BEST YOU SHOULD REBLOG THAT ONE NOT THIS ONE!!!!
something i adore about hadestown is that it still meant something, y'know what i mean? like okay, no orpheus's song did not convince hades to give up his empire. hades' love for persephone isn't enough to deconstruct the machine he's built and has convinced himself that he needs in order to protect what he has. but he let them go. he saw the love eurydice and orpheus had for one another and it convinced him to let them try. orpheus may have turned around but they still walked, they almost made it. doubt set it but they were right there. that's further than anyone else can say. nobody else had made it that far. who's to say someone else can't make it a few steps further? persephone is able to leave the underworld and go home again when she needs to. spring has come again, if we're lucky autumn just might too. will this change be permanent? we don't know. but it's something. it doesn't knock down the wall but it's one brick out of it. and that means something. it wasn't all for nothing. it's a crack in the wall. there's a reason we keep singing this old song.
"the Hadestown proshot exceeds box office expectations" truly, who could have predicted fans going repeated times, to see the musical whose entire concept is about the musical repeating
I think my favourite part of the hadestown proshoot is when Eurydice says, "Is he always like this?" and Hermes, who has seen this story a thousand thousand times, who has tried again and again to warn Orpheus not to come on too strong, says with Extreme Exhaustion in his voice, "Yes."
the fact that on my way out of seeing the hadestown proshot with my sibling i was walking to the theater exit and without even thinking about it i turned around to see where they were... yeah. yeah.
cannot be made to hate reeve’s orpheus !!!! his voice is so unique and stands out against the rest of the cast (which I enjoy for an orpheus who does stand out in literature for his ability to freestyle songs). the og, the blueprint that he is !
i enjoy how originally orpheus was this bad boy with a guitar and then anaïs mitchell essentially said “he’s not pathetic enough. the audience doesn’t like him the way they should…..i know exactly what to do” and remade orpheus into a sad wet cat of a man. and that did the trick. we all loved him after that. genius move on her part
i believe that we are many, i believe that they are few
Thinking about the Hadestown proshot and Orpheus being introduced wiping down a table with his back to the audience. Hermes has to call out to him again to get him to take his opening bow, and for the show to start, Orpheus has to turn around.
Just saw the Hadestown pro-shot and. AAHHH!! IT WAS SO GOOD! Immediately after it ended, I wanted to watch it again (very fitting for Hadestown). I don't even know what to say about it here except that it was amazing and Persephone and Hades' reconciliation made me cry.
I can't wait for it to come out on DVD this October so I can get a copy of it myself. Then I can watch it whenever I want.
Ok, I'm back with some thoughts.
I don't know if it was because of the boot, but the way that Hades prowled around the stage made him look like some kind of predator on a hunt. Orpheus's voice was absolutely amazing, especially when he was hitting those high notes. The sheer emotion out of Eurydice blew me away and broke my heart at the same time. She was just a hungry young girl :(. Everything about Persephone was great. Her delivery of the line "just as long as I am your wife", the pain in her face when she sees what Hades is doing to Eurydice, her random hip thrusts during Our Lady of the Underground (??).
The way that Hermes tried to present himself as disaffected by the story unfolding, but you can see and hear his sadness and disappointment when Orpheus looks back. He's told this story countless times already, and he knows that it's a tragedy, he told us that much at the beginning. But he keeps telling the story in the hopes that this time, this time, it will have a happy ending.

Alastor's line "Sorry to disappoint, that is not where this ends" is so genius because, either
a. he does not die for his friends, in which case it's not even foreshadowing, he just told us what was (not) going to happen. or
b. he does die for his friends, in which case this becomes very ironic foreshadowing
So despite all my searching, there are several Scatman Crothers songs that I can't find the lyrics to.
So I've made it my personal mission to figure out all the lyrics to these songs myself and make lyrics videos for them.
Hear me out!
So, what do you think, guys?
Idk, they actually have a lot in common... Same with MBTI and character itself, deer beauty, appearance...
Okay... 2 variants because I can't decide which is better in my collection
Welcome back, Marilyn Flower!
Also, neptunic Star Flower propaganda
Watching Night of the Living Dead (1968) for the first time.
wow this movie starts fast. seriously the zombie (not that they call it a zombie) attacks in the first like 5 minutes
i don't now Mr. Cooper didn't realize that the cellar would be a deathtrap. When he mentioned hiding in the cellar, my first thought was that there's only one entrance, and that means no escape.
i thought Barbara was the lead, but it seems to be the guy (who hasn't seemed to mention his name) is actually the lead. he just kinda showed up at the farmhouse and immediately started his survival plan
damn, i was not expecting that ending. poor guy :(
i initially thought that maybe at least one of the protagonists would survive, but no. towards the end, i started thinking that this might be one of those horror movies where everyone dies at the end, and that guess was right
