Hadestown sequel where Orpheus turns around, sees Eurydice, and then immediately just walks back the long way to Hadestown again. Starts banging on the wall and won’t go away again bc since when was this boy a quitter? He sings another song or smth. Both Orpheus and Eurydice (and Persephone and the workers and basically the entire cast excluding the fates) nag the crap out of Hades until he let’s them try again and Orpheus doesn’t turn around this time because he knows that even if he gets home and it was a trick and there’s no Eurydice, he’s made the trip twice now and he can always do it again. We’re gonna sing the fricking song again until it works dang it. HAPPILY. EVER. AFTER. THE. END.

The thing about Hadestown is the line “To know how it ends. And still begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time” is an incredible way to describe most of life. We try because we have to believe that even when the ending is set in stone, it’s still worth trying. It’s still better to be a person who tried.

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

Imagine being Anais Mitchell and writing a song about the rhetoric of fascism so incisive and prescient that 10 years later an actual fascist would use that exact rhetoric down to the highly-specific phrasing in his presidential campaign. But also it took 10 years for the project you wrote that song for to move from living room shows to concept album to theater workshop to off-Broadway to Broadway, and its Broadway debut ended up coinciding with said fascist's successful bid for the presidency, and now it looks like your song that you wrote in 2005 is a super unsubtle reference to that one particular and highly-topical politician.

Frankly if I were her I would have started killing.
