She started writing it in 2005. Talk about long in the making.

“Alright anaïs, where do you wanna film this one?” “Hey what about that velvet chair sitting out in the over grown field” “Why do you have that?” “This occasion”

“Artists you should know or will now very soon” got that right!!! And to think 8 years later she’s winner for best composer on broadway!

I love how happy she looks when she plays

I want to be Anais Mitchell when I grow up! Sharp and witty, authentically cool.

This actually Does sound like how I'd imagine How she'd sound a bit of a Southern accent but high pitched

sings and plays well....I can hear a lot of blues guitar in there.....technique.....she has listened and learned from several string snappers that's for sure. I do the same whenever I can. Love you!

This whole album blows me away and the guest artists add the next dimension that is needed to off set her voice. The fact that she turned an opera into a modern day rock/opera is extraordinary

I've gone down a rabbit hole of videos showing the development of this amazing production, and watching Anaïs play this song a decade before just makes me very happy.

Wow such a cool unique voice

She won a grammy this week!

And soon she’ll win some Tonys !

Never heard this version, this is great stuff.

They had the mic a little hot, slight distortion on the belts, but I have heard a lot of her stuff, beautiful voice, great writer, and one of the best interpreters of old folk songs around. I think she's great.

I love how this acoustic version sounds!

She has such a cute voice! Love the setting!

This is the best version of this song. I feel it in my soul when anais sings

I kinda just love this girl... She has all the passion for life I wish I had...

Oh my god, I couldn't even imagine how she'd do this live. And then she just DOES it. Exactly as powerful and as poignant as in the studio version. Scary.

Until about a minute ago I had never heard of this lady. Now I will die if I cannot marry her.

XOA is on all my pods and pads, travels everywhere I go. Time to tour Europe, thinketh I, and don't forget Stockholm,Sweden, many venues are suitable for acoustic music with vocals. Ex-pat luthier living here since 80's and everybody should visit Scandinavia, at least once.Love from this side of the globe!

she's astounding.

Talent .. No more needed to be spoken... Luv the scene/crickets/wind blowin grass... AWESOME

Love the background to the story:) I am a big fan of Greek mythology and consequently this song. So glad I discovered you through Hadestown!

WHAT. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I'M IN _LOVE_ .

I've literally discovered Anaïs Mitchell twice. The first time was her authentic, translated tale of Tam Lin and then this... and I didn't recognize her as the same person. It would be a shame if she became the next Eva Cassidy.

Anais Mitchell is my hero

pretty common blues riff...stray cat howl...the cat came back...etc etc. I like her. very unique individual and voice

A modern classic

Great great great performance. Thanks for posting!

amazing as always

I totally love her

WOW! Fantastic!

So beautiful! :) Glad of my discovery ! Love particulary her song with Justin Vernon ! AWESOME!!

Gorgeous performance

Wow. This is so cool

Wow - great performance!

this is lovely.

Just wow!

Yes, yes, more of that there!!

This is quite unique.

For some reason this is just so damn adorable

Well said sir!

she smashes her guitar strings... with a big smile as she sings. I love her high pitched voice when she talks, those north american girls have such a low voice, I don't know why...

sounds very much along the lines of Michelle Shocked...esp. the Texas Campfire Tapes...but good none the less. See 'fogtown'..

Is there a functional harmony in what is sung here vs what sung the show for “there’s a crack in the wall”?

@buttons6171

the solfege for this version is: la la mi re do mi and the solfege for the show is: mi mi la so mi la (higher, the first two notes are a fifth apart and the rest are a fourth apart, except for "the" which is a third apart as the show's version needs that note to be "mi" to fit the chord/overall harmony better) the melody for this version does work as a harmony for the show's version! i'm not sure how to explain how it "functions" per se but they definitely harmonise

That guitar has been played a little bit. She's hitting the strings hard in this one. She looks so young there

Better than the album version!

Don't bother my jaded world view with facts.

anyone know what the chords to this are?

just reprise it.

Using the word "hipster" is so hipster.

Also reminiscent of everything Joanna Newsom ever did.

@yamasedogI can actually smell the hipster seeping off of you.

C minor..... basically. Move the bass route around B, Am, Gm.

Well... She is in her 30's Oh, were you talking about someone else?

Being about mythology doesn't make something an opera.If here is no orchestra involve it is not an opera. If you want to make a musical, call it a musical. The genre of musical has been unfairly stigmatized long enough and by calling pieces of art that are clearly not operas "opera", you are furthering that stigmatization.

The Magic Flute has spoken words, and many other operas as well. An Opera is a "musical" but in the classical tradition as opposed to being jazz or another popular musical genre.
