Hey, I have no idea why this started blowing up all of a sudden, but to everyone: thank you so much! This took months of on-and-off work and I struggled real hard against my ADD to get this finished, so I’m glad to not only see it pay off, but to see it strike such a chord with everyone. The number one goal I have with my art is to make people feel-especially with this one. I wanted to make people feel what I felt when I first listened, when I made this. I’m glad it’s working. It’s incredibly validating. I want you all to know that I see every comment. Your praise is so shocking and sweet and I love you. 💛👋

I think that this version has a lot more soul and emotion than the version on broadway. Not to say the other one isn't good, but it tells a story more than anything - which was probably what they were going for. It's just that this one really conveys raw emotion and it's more believable that Hades is moved by it.

My one major complaint about the Broadway version of Hadestown is how they absolutely destroyed this song in the rewrite. (I understand thematically why it was changed and why they rewrote it when the focus shifted more to how Hades’ actions affected the world.) When I often get to this point in the Broadway soundtrack, I often listen to this version instead. There’s so much more heart. Hades is only a man just as Orpheus, who’s in love with a woman he’d do anything for. They’re perfect foils of each other. And aaaaa, I just am so sad this version didn’t make it to Broadway.

The thing that gets me most is that the melody Orpheus sings is heavily implied to be a song of love. The feeling of love, not just the words. And Hadestown is barren, cold, and (as implied in the Broadway version of Way Down Hadestown II I believe) nobody remembers their name, home or loved ones. But as everybody joins in with Orpheus, you realise that nobody has forgotten love.

*_LYRICS_* _[ORPHEUS]_ Heavy and hard is the heart of the king King of iron, king of steel The heart of the king loves everything Like the hammer loves the nail But the heart of a man is a simple one Small and soft, flesh and blood And all that it loves is a woman A woman is all that it loves And Hades is King of the scythe and the sword He covers the world in the color of rust He scrapes the sky and scars the earth And he comes down heavy and hard on us But even that hardest of hearts unhardened Suddenly, when he saw her there Persephone in her mother’s garden Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair The smell of the flowers she held in her hand And the pollen that fell from her fingertips And suddenly Hades was only a man With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing: La la la la la la la… _[COMPANY]_ La la la la la la la… _[ORPHEUS]_ And what has become of the heart of that man, Now that the man is King? What has become of the heart of that man, Now that he has everything? The more he has, the more he holds, The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders See how he labors beneath that load Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending He grows so afraid that he'll lose what he owns But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending Is already gone Where is the treasure inside your chest? Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? Where is the man with his hat in his hands? Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing: La la la la la la la… _[HADES]_ La la la la la la la… _[ORPHEUS]_ La la la la la la la… _[BOTH]_ La la la la la la la…

“And suddenly, he saw her there-Persephone, in her mother’s garden. The sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair…” One of the most beautiful parts of this play. They don’t have it in the Broadway version, right? A shame because it’s so powerful, especially how he sang it. I could vividly imagine a beautiful lady in a flower field, glowing in the sunlight.

Just noticed how the emphasis on the k sounds in "he keeps his head low and he keeps his back bending" echoes the working chant

I'll admit I just expected a cathedral sound edit but goodness me. SURPRISE IT MOVES AND IT'S GONNA MAKE YOU CRY. I always get so emotional about Epic III but this was stunning. I got chills all over again as the screen lit up more and more. It was so beautiful how that gold light just started to spread. And when Hades looked around at everyone joining in. I got misty-eyed in the end and that hasn't happened for Hadestown since maybe the sixth relisten. So overall this was lovely, and thank you.

It’s awesome because it sounds like he’s performing in Hades’ throne room. And when everyone joins in during “la la la la la la la” gives me chills every time. You’re breathtaking 👌

This version of Epic III has always hit the hardest and this cathedral edit makes the chorus feel like it did the first time I discovered this song, and that is the highest of compliments

The way he sings “he comes down heavy and hard on us” is so much emotion like just take my money. Take it

Around the end, this becomes a song about fleeting youth and I've never related so hard. "What he's defending..... It's already gone." I'm actually crying.

I love the broadway version just as much as the original, but NOTHING can top Damon Daunno's angelic voice.

Sometimes I forget exactly how beautiful this musical is

I came from Tumblr and I haven't left in a FAT minute

amazing that even in a musical that hades is the main villain/antagonist his most basic personality trait is: I just love my wife so fucking much

Fun fact : hades didn’t really care about eurydice . He had nothing to do with her . When eurydice died , she actually died by a poisonous snake . And like every other soul she went to the underworld. When people think about the underworld where hades is , they think fire and souls . But actually there are 3 places in the underworld . First is where bad bad people are (torture) ,2nd is where the not to bad and not to good people go (regular people) and the last is basically a place which is like heaven .place is Beautiful and only good people can go . When Orpheus found out he went to Zeus and Zeus said he couldn’t do anything bout gave him a chance to talk to hades . He sent Hermès with him and both went to the underworld . When meeting hades , persephone was next to him . And orpheus sang a song that even made hades one of the three gods cry silver . orpheus was known to have a better voice then his father god of music . When hades gave them the test and they failed . Orpheus had never been in any other relationship. He would sing sad songs over and over again . He would also sing songs of other gods story’s . When three girls were mad they couldn’t have orpheus , they snuck at night and killed him . And now he’s in the underworld where eurydice is

Persephones tired, happy expression near the end is so good

Everything about this is *beautiful* and amazing. This song fits the cathedral effect like no other, and every single frame of artwork is gorgeous and detailed. I especially like the “halo” around Orpheus as he sings “la-lalalalala!”

i love the broadway version, but man- THIS VERSION SLAPS WAY HARDER

YOU'RE TELLING ME THIS WAS AN ANIMATIC AND I DIDNT KNOW THIS WHOLE TIME BECAUSE I WOULD JUST LISTEN TO IT INSTEAD OF WATCHING!?!?!

The combination of Damon Daunno's beautiful vocals with the acoustics of a cathedral is something so full of transcendent beauty that it's enough to make one's entire soul stir with feelings that words cannot begin to express. Thanks for all the effort you put into this. It amplifies the music with so much more elegance and grace. I can't say enough positive things about it!

i come back to this video all the time. i don't think anything will ever beat this version of the song and i would love to hear the broadway orpheuses sing it, but alas. there's also something really special about the characterisation of orpheus in the nytw version, idek what it is, he seems so raw and real and he has that kind of spark to him that i think has gone away a bit. the broadway version is beautiful but i do think he's a different character, and this song became a different song, too.

Man I have to watch this video a lot to both remind myself how perfect Damon Duanno is as Orpheus and to bask in the cathedral edit beauty like hot damn

In the actual play theres a moment at the beginning where Hades is like "oh its a song about me!" And its the cutest thing and takes the edge off the tension beautifully

This is very well done. And the image of Hades so huge and sitting on a throne reminds me of the first version of the Orpheus story I ever read, which was the one in the Sandman comics.

this version makes me feel things inside, I legit start crying... it's so beautiful

I’m a proud lesbian, but when Orpheus said “hades was only a man” I went: 🤰🤰🤰

The art is what I had in mind when playing the musical in my head! The glow, the feelings conveyed and just the 'feel' of this build up!

Oh, my Gods. This is fucking amazing. This is the quality I aspire to have in my own animatics/animations. Huge, huge kudos to you for making this song even better with your art. (And I can tell that the cathedral edit of the song must've been quite hard to perfect) If I wasn't so controlling over my tear ducts, I'd be sobbing right now. You deserve so many more views and subscribers, friend.

Not only is the sound edit stunning, but the art that goes along with it, really captures the emotion and visuals in this song. I got really teary eye, especially the part where everything is white and it's Orpheus singing about what Hades is now. It's just so breath taking, and raw. You did amazing, absolutely amazing.

The art in this really drove it home beautiful

I've been a huge fan of hadestown for the last year and I've never seen this much beauty in a version of this song until I saw this video. Thank you.

thank you thank you THANK YOU for introducing me to this version of epic iii. i thought carney’s was the best version, but this THIS LANDS A WHOLE LOT BETTER WITH ME IN ITS ENTIRETY. now don’t get me wrong: i love reeve, he does orpheus so excellently, but there’s just this tenderness and vulnerability in damon daunno’s voice that just procures him the title of Modern Orpheus, bestowed by yours truly. and thank you very much for amplifying this magical experience through your stellar art as always!

I've always loved your cathedral edits, but the art on this is fantastic! I love the way you depicted the 'La La La' part, with a glow getting brighter until it consumes everything (It reminded me of the chandelier in Great Comet). And the end was just so beautiful and sweet. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hey, I wanted you to know that this videi is the reason this is one of my all-time favourite songs ever. This video made me enjoy everything and to its full capacity, thank you.

Okay, but this is actually one of the best “cathedral” edits I’ve heard in a while?? Usually it’s just a cacophonous mess, but this is so easy to listen to! Nice job.

*Who disliked?* _you can catch my hands_ *i just wanna talk*

I like both this and the Broadway version of the song for different reasons. (I like this one more but both are really good.) In this version, there's so much emotion, and I love how the melody shifts over the song. In the other song, it doesn't do that as much and there's less emotion, but it does seem more like Orpheus didn't have the song finished completely and just winged it because he was desperate. I don't know if this is intentional, but I do think it's a little more realistic because before Orpheus went after Eurydice he still didn't have it finished. Edit edit: also I was extremely fortunate to be able to see the touring production of it recently and ngl the Broadway version of epic iii was a jump scare after watching this video so much lmaoo

You're so talented!! As someone who makes art I know why this took you until 3am to make but it's so worth it!!! You made a simplistic but perfect imterpretation of this song. Adore the use of white at the end with just the guitar and vocals it's so raw!! 💕💗👌

I absolutely love this version. I fall in love with Damon every time I hear it. Thank you so much for this!

never in my life have i heard something so beautiful

You do fantastic work! I really didn't expect the changing visuals considering I've seen none of your videos prior to this, and man oh man was I pleasantly surprised!
