“I remember someone, someone by my side, turned his face to mine... and then I turned away, into the shade” my foreshadowing senses are tingling holy shit
It's also really cool wordplay!! In the original story, when Orpheus turns to face her, she's just a shade - a spirit of the deceased - as opposed to the mortal woman he'd hoped to find when he got out of Hades
Yea the singing is pretty and all, but holy shit the lyrics. The way flowers are used to represent naivety and the trusting bond set between her and Hades, Orpheus being personified life, while Hades is personified death. Yes the face value of the song is "oh damn I was wrong about death", but when dissected this isn't someone who wanted to die, this is someone who beautified death. Eurydice thought death as a graceful, painless pursuit. However, not only does she live with the guilt of leaving Orpheus behind, but she also lives with the physical pain of the labor work in the underworld. This is someone so easily wooed by the authoritative and pseudo-caring tone of Hades that she just decides to go along with it. Then she realizes a little too late that she fucked up bad. The message of this song is simple yes, but the way it is portrayed is just gorgeous lyrically
I think this song is a character study- its a comparison between the promises Orpheus and Hades made to Eurydice. Orpheus promised to keep her safe (love-nothing gonna wake me now) and Hades promised her security (death- nothing gonna wake me now) the chorus changes it's meaning when she remembers vs when she recalls her current reality. she sings that she did something she thought was right and then realized that she regrets because Orpheus was who she loved, but she let security over the uncertainty of being alive fall between her and him. And she also realizes that she is safe the way she is now- dead. But being secure will not make her feel the way Orpheus does- since he loves her without the ornaments Hades offers. But like in real life, she forgets who loved her, and even who she was because she was metaphorically hungry- and do you notice that Hermes says "Eurydice was a hungry young girl. But she wasn't hungry no more. What she was was dead." So by getting what would have supposedly filled her hunger, she is still left empty, since nothing can satisfy her humanity except for the sacrifice of having to live in a cold, hungry world, depending on other people and on love to make it worth having lived. That's not to say Orpheus couldn't have stepped up and helped her so she wouldn't have felt desperate enough to sign her life away- but that's the point. I think this show is about human flaws, even in the "gods" we look up to. We all carry one shared humanity with us until the day we die- so we have to live through cold and hunger and fear so that we love the warmth, the joining of hearts, and the flowers underfoot
i'm not going to lie, even though you posted this two years ago, reading it brought me to tears. your wording is phenomenal and gets the absolute pure emotion across.
Can I just tell you how stupid I am. As the song started playing I immediately scrolled through the comments to look for the lyrics. And I got a little frustrated because I didn’t find any until I saw the freaking screen.
One of the amazing things about this song is it makes for a great audition song; It’s great for lower range lady voices as well as getting a bit of the extra flair of acting. Trust me acting a little bit and putting emotion behind any song you sing for an audition gives you a nice edge
Lyrics because I can't read the ones on screen properly What I wanted was to fall asleep To close my eyes and disappear Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air Lily white and poppy red I trembled when he laid me out You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down Nothing gonna wake you now Dreams are sweet until they're not Men are kind until they aren't Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart Is anybody listening? I open my mouth and nothing comes out Nothing Nothing gonna wake me now Flowers, I remember fields Of flowers, soft beneath my heels Walking in the sun I remember someone Someone by my side Turned his face to mine And then I turned away Into the shade You, the one I left behind If you ever walk this way Come and find me lying in the bed I made
My mom and I started to listen to the soundtrack (my mom never listened or heard of this musical before mind you) and when this song came on she said that it's relaxing and I told her that this musical is a tragedy. She replied "yeah, you can hear her regret in this song. " She also mentioned how if she didn't know what the play is about it's relaxing in a sad way. Needless to say she loves the musical and this song
[Eurydice:] What I wanted was to fall asleep Close my eyes and disappear Like a petal on a stream A feather on the air Lily white and poppy red I trembled when he laid me out "You won't feel a thing," he said, "when you go down" Nothing gonna wake you now...

i feel like the fact that the song has kind of an ambiguous feel to it adds to the story. if you get rid of the lyrics, the song really doesn’t sound that sad. laments are often in minor keys and gloomy sounding, this just sounds neutral. there’s a weird contrast between the subject matter and tone of voice with the music. basically what i’m getting at here is that eurydice is slowly forgetting and will eventually have no recollection of orpheus or anything from her life, so it makes sense that this song isn’t melodically sad. she’s outwardly working with an empty expression. (spoilers: also this is EXACTLY what she went back to doing after the end. you’re welcome)
There are other examples of sad songs in major keys-usually, they are sung by someone remembering a time of great happiness that is gone forever, which is definitely the case here.
My sister killed herself and the first couple lines were her suicide note. It was played at her funeral. I don't know why I want to write that here lol Good song though. Even though I'm definitely not going to listen to it on the regular. If you are reading this and you ever have any suicidal thoughts, please ask someone for help! I want you to stay.
Song: You the one I left behind if you ever walk this way come and find me lying in the bed I made Me: wait The wedding song: who's gonna lay the wedding bed ....the birds are gonna lay the wedding bed Hades: hey little song bird Me:🤔
I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. She sings: "Lily white and poppy red I trembled when he laid me out You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down" I feel like "trembling when he laid me out" as sex.... and at first I thought she was talking about Orpheus. But, then the next line makes me think that Hades told she wouldn't feel a thing as she died and went to Hadestown.... so I'm wondering, as Hermes said "a lot can happen behind closed doors", that part of her "selling herself" (as Hades tells us, he only buys what people sell) was also sex with Hades... He was not happy with Persephone at that time. And my Persephone (at Kennedy Center) seemed really upset to see Eurydice go up there and I'm not sure it was just because Persephone held a special place for them in her heart. What do you think?
Soprano here too, and I found the range pretty comfortable, much more than a lot of songs I was thought were supposedly easier (I'm looking at you, Over the Rainbow)...
Yup! Basically, it’s Eurydice’s solo in the beginning of Act 2 where she regrets the decision that fate made her choose. She realizes Hades/Hadestown isn’t at all what she thought or wanted, and she misses her life up top with her Orpheus.
No hades, the king of the underworld, convinces her to work for him in exchange for food and shelter. She doesn’t realize that working for him also means she can never leave and she’ll forget her past. She basically would have to become one of a ton of slaves for him and by now it’s too late to return. So she’s singing about her past and how she misses it
@@nuhuhitsgreywater no, I understand it in the musical, on the level of working in mines etc., but I am talking about the myth; she clearly dies, that's the point, so how do we abstract that exchange?
@@silasfrisenette9226I know this is a super old comment and you might not see this, but I believe in the original myth she gets bitten by a snake and dies from that, but I'm not entirely sure cause it's been a while since I read anything about the original-
@@IcySpicy_Yeet yess, in the original myth she is bitten by a snake! But here it seems the hunger takes her, or that she can't bear the hunger and kills herself. I am just (still) confused about the level of agency she has in this decision, cause he asks her to sign a contract, but also it doesn't sound like she has much of a choice 🤨
There’s definitely that. I also think that, just as Mitchell’s lyrics address the crises of late capitalism and climate change, here they are touching on another one that’s been in the news: the opioid crisis. It’s easy to envision this song being sung by an addict about her pusher, a man who lured her in with a promise of sweet oblivion, then, once she was hooked, started demanding sexual favors when she couldn’t pay and, perhaps, forcing her into prostitution. The “lily white and poppy red” really stands out-both water lilies and poppies are a source of narcotics.

@@3_cheers487yes she is, but remember this is a story which everyone knows how it ends, even the people telling it. This was intentional

Tbh I'm not a fan of Stephanie. So I would've preferred Eva get the Tony.
I love Eva but Stephanie J Block also deserved a Tony. She should have at least been nominated
@@madysonprem9239 She was nominated
I think this song is a character study- its a comparison between the promises Orpheus and Hades made to Eurydice. Orpheus promised to keep her safe (love-nothing gonna wake me now) and Hades promised her security (death- nothing gonna wake me now) the chorus changes it's meaning when she remembers vs when she recalls her current reality.
she sings that she did something she thought was right and then realized that she regrets because Orpheus was who she loved, but she let security over the uncertainty of being alive fall between her and him.

Can I just tell you how stupid I am.
As the song started playing I immediately scrolled through the comments to look for the lyrics.
And I got a little frustrated because I didn’t find any until I saw the freaking screen.
We don't deserve Eva Noblezada. What a queen.
You can tell she's not crying like she does when she performs it in the show. It sounds pretty here but I prefer it raw.
Agree - especially at "is anybody listening? I open my mouth and nothing comes out" which in the show just sounds so desperate and haunting.
I feel like this would be a great audition song for alto's and mezzo Sopranos
Thanks for the advice
I'm doing this for my audition next week. I'm hoping everything goes well
If only there was sheet music already
I agree. I’m honestly excited that there is FINALLY something for altos in musical theatre.
I am planning on using this as my audition song this spring
This happened with burn, Michael in the bathroom, breathe, she used to be mine, dead mom...
And now this. I’m not complaining.
‘Dreams are sweet, until they’re not
Men are kind, until they aren’t
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart’
MYY HEAARRTT POOR EURYDICE 😭😭😭💔
I was scrolling through the comments and got this as these lyrics came on

This is my favorite song in the show. This is absolutely beautiful. Eva Noblezada owns my heart
Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful, it gives me chills
HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL I'M WEEPING
I barely even recognise Eva's voice but... wow.
When you find a quintessential Alto role...❤️❤️😊😊
Being a fan of this and hearing it evolve and grow over the years is never going to stop being wonderful.
I was never a big fan of this song... EVa makes me love it!
My first time hearing a Eurydice singing it. I agree. I've only heard the concept version which I loved.
Lyrics because I can't read the ones on screen properly
What I wanted was to fall asleep
To close my eyes and disappear
Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
Lily white and poppy red
I trembled when he laid me out
You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
Nothing gonna wake you now
Dreams are sweet until they're not
Men are kind until they aren't
Flowers bloom until they rot and fall apart
Is anybody listening?
I open my mouth and nothing comes out
Nothing
Nothing gonna wake me now
Flowers, I remember fields
Of flowers, soft beneath my heels
Walking in the sun
I remember someone
Someone by my side
Turned his face to mine
And then I turned away
Into the shade
You, the one I left behind
If you ever walk this way
Come and find me lying in the bed I made
Oh gosh, Eva sounds like Mandy Moore here and I am here for it.
I was just thinking that!
Ironic how Eurydice is like the opposite of Rapunzel. She had freedom and love and traded it away.

Is it a good idea to use this as an audition song or has this lovely musical become too popular and one should avoid?
I’d say go for it! I don’t think it’s quite reached Hamilton or Les Miserables levels of popular just yet
Why is the kerning of the lyrics so far apart??
bruh my dance teacher is using this for our recital... and im honestly amazed wow.
