I can’t believe it took me this long to piece it together. In the myth of Orpheus it is said that after he fails Eurydice, he returns to the mortal world and makes a song that is so sad that crops die, people are plagued with depression and nightmares, and women miscarry. All leading to his being murdered for ruining people’s lives with his Uber-depressing lament. THIS is supposed to be that song.

M S M The version in the game is pretty much the same as the mythological version, though there are a couple of changes. In the myth, Eurydice is Orpheus’s muse and he’s the one that made music, but the in-game version says that they were both musicians but Orpheus was simply more well known than Eurydice, and she’s a bit annoyed because it felt like the spotlight was being taken from her. In the myth, Hades and Persephone are the ones that offer Orpheus the chance to go to the underworld, but in the game, it seems only Hades offered it (though obviously since Persephone isn’t in the game right now, it’s impossible to say what involvement she had), and he also says that he offered it to Orpheus knowing there was no way Eurydice would be allowed to leave.

The way I heard it is that either Dionysus's maenads became angry for him to refusing to pay tribute to Dionysus even though he had done so earlier in life so they ripped him apart, or they did it because they loved him and he couldn't or wouldn't love anyone besides Eurydice, or that it was because they were sick of him only singing sad songs. But that either way they tried first with sticks and stone but they refused to hurt him and actually stopped themselves from touching him (like how when he first tired to kill himself after failing to bring back Euridyce the wind caught him and carried him down when he tried to throw himself off a cliff, nothing would let him die), so they had to rip him apart with their own hands. And then the trees were weeping and in such agony that their leaves fell and they looked like women tearing at their clothes and hair in grief. And then the Maneads or nymphs who killed him were turned into trees by Dionysus either in order to protect his followers from the death sentence that lingered over them or out of anger at them for killing Orpheus since he still considered him to be his musician.

Even though "Good riddance" is, arguably, fan favourite, this one takes the cake for me. Clean, simple to understand, and could easily be translated into poetry from Greek mythology itself.

I recently decided to do a run, won, saw Zagreus mother for the first time, died, and came back to this song for the first time. I couldn't move for 10 minutes while I kept listening over and over. My point is, I would bet many people who have played the game have never heard this song.

You can impress your friends, or just make yourself sound like a huge lit nerd, by pointing out that the first few stanzas are in trochaic tetrameter, mostly catalectic trochaic tetrameter to be precise, which is unusual. Don’t see that very often. That type of meter can help add a somber and haunting tone, which works perfectly in this song. Great track imo.

I remember when I heard Orpheus sing this (I think) for the first time when I emerged from the pool of Styx. I just sat there in silent shock with mouth agape - after all his dialogue of not being able to sing without his muse, I haven't expected to hear him sing, and not like that. It's so eery, melancholic and beautiful, wow just wow

I love this song because the mood fits so well for Zagreus as well as Orpheus. He's desperately running to the surface- not with someone, but towards someone. To be with his mom. But he never quite makes it. And so he keeps running, and doesn't look back....

I finally heard Orpheus sing in the game, after 57 escape attempts or so (and 3 or 4 ambrosia bottles in total; I think the key here is patience, you will hear him sing eventually!). I didn't want to look at this video before to fully discover the song in-game, and boy I wasn't disappointed. I had just reappered in the House of Hades, and heard an unusual song in the distance... Immediately, I KNEW it was him. I litteraly spent the next 20 minutes wandering around in the House just to keep listening to Orpheus' Lament. By the way, Darren Korb's vocal range blew my mind. In the Flame was already impressive, but this, this is... Unreachable. Magnificent. I should've anticipated this considering Orpheus' rather high-pitched speech, but still. I was amazed. Now, I only wait for him and Eurydice to meet again and the latter to be dubbed by Ashley Barrett :D

When I (as Zag) came out of the pool and I finally heard different music and - dare I say, SINGING - I think I started crying. Not only is the song beautiful, but it made me think that maybe Orpheus was emotionally better, if he was willing to sing. Plus Darren's voice is absolutely beautiful. It's funny, I can definitely hear the Zagreus in his singing voice now that I know, but man... Orpheus has yet to sing for me again since that first time 🥺 I'll keep playing and hopefully reunite him with Eurydice.

All props to Good Riddance and The Hymn of Zagreus but this is by far my favorite of Orpheus' songs. I just love how much all the other characters can relate to it. Except for Hypnos. Hypnos just thinks it's a nice little ditty.

I like Hymn of Zagreus a lot more now that I know that it depicts the character Zagreus as the Orphic mystery cults understood him, but don't look back is just such a demonstration of vocal range.

Years later I am still baffled this voice is also Zagreus and Skelly. Damn Darren Korb has a range.

Dude! Same!

The first time I've heard this was when I reemerged from the styx after Persephone told me that I shouldn't come to visit her again. I found it very fitting for the moment.

Darren Korb had to literally _be_ the best musician in Ancient Greece... AND SUCCEEDED!!

"I play the lyr actually! Orpheus even gave me a few pointers, but I never really considered singing" you can just FEEL the shit eating grin of Zags va as he said this xD

One of the best ost in gaming history I always give orpheus a nectar everytime he sang this song

Its something magical when you show up back home, and he's started to sing this song.

*This all happened post Ver 1.0 launch btw* The first time this song appeared during my playthrough was...rather special. For the first time, Zagreus had defeated his father and escaped the Underworld. He had finally reunited with his mother, Persephone, only for the Fates to cruelly pull him back to the Underworld. As the prince trudged out of the Styx, soul heavy from having his time on the surface cut short, a melody faintly echoed through the halls of the House of Hades. It was then he realized that Orpheus had once again decided to grace the House with his music once again. Though no doubt Zagreus was still grieving and frustrated by having himself torn from his long lost mother and already planning on fighting his way back to the surface once again, I like to think that he felt some tingle of joy to hear his friend play once again. A melody urging him not look back on his failures and continue on in his quest for answers.

For me it was also right after the run before Zagreus gets access to Hades’ room. Perfect timing, since it felt like the beginning of a turning point in the story

Hearing Orpheus' shaky and high voice for the first time...I didn't know what to expect when I would hear his singing voice....this blew me away when I first heard it-

This song was fucking chilling the first time I heard Orpheus sing it in game, and it kinda stung when I realized what he was singing about

I'm blown away. this song actually made me believes that this is really what Orpheus' songs would be like. something so depressing yet pleasing to listen to. something that would move the king and queen of the underworld that they would give him one chance to bring back his beloved.

Amazing vocal range!

I downloaded Hades with no knowledge of the game or what I was getting myself into...first time I heard this I was absolutely floored. Never heard something so beautiful and haunting at the same time.

I remember the second time I beat Hades, when I walk out of the bloody pool and I heard this song for the first time. I felt chills all over my body, and I just stood there for a minute. When that fealing passed I walked further into the house, ignoring Hipnos compleatly, not paying attention to Cerberus or even Hades. And then I saw Orpheus. That was the moment I realised why Hades was willing to wait a hole century just to hear him play once again.

This is my GOTY. Would buy every DLC if they ever think of releasing one. I felt in love with the music and everything. Thank you for making this gem.

Hear, o gods, my desperate plea To see my love beside me Sunk below the mortal sea Her anchor weighs upon me Fasten her tether unto me That she may rise to sail free Don't Don't look back Close enough that light we can see My doubt betrays the better of me A glance to the stern is all it would be That anguished shade shall haunt me Ever on Calm seas Winds a-lee But now the squall's upon us We're foundering Drowning Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back

That's the voice of a man who had a whole afterlife to wail out his regrets. Goddamn this song is good...

The myth of Orpheus and Euridice is one of my all time favorites or Greek mythology. The first time i heard Orpheus's name mentioned i audibly celebrated, i knew he'd sing something but i didn't think they would do the mythical musician justice. But i stood shaken to the core walking out of the river styx to hear Orpheus, son of Apollo, serenading as beautifully as they describes in the stories.

How can a man be this good at everything? Darren Korb voices Zag (and Skelly), wrote a killing soundtrack (or 4), AND sings an amazing falsetto in this. Leave some talent for the rest of us man!

Oh boy! The first time I respawned and heard Orpheus sing was this song. I WAS IN AWE!! I just stood there for a solid 15 minutes and listened to him. Wonderful song!

That moment when he sings "Dont look back" at the end is so beautiful and cautionary. I really love how this song evokes the greek myth and just fits perfectly as if its always been a part of it.

I'm seriously heartbroken that Darren Korb doesn't have any music outside Supergiant Games

This game really should've gotten best soundtrack

Orpheus is such a tragic character in Greek mythology, I remember feeling so bad for him when I read sandman.

This song is so hauntingly beautiful. I can't get it out of my head, looking at the lyrics Orpheus is CLEARLY distraught because of how his tale ended. I love that they showed his pain, anguish and self hatred so well in this song

It took a while but he sang this song and it hit. I did freeze. I loved it.

I felt hypnotized the moment I heard him. I stood there, admiring the beauty of the melody.

I’m just getting into the quest and was absolutely floored when I first heard him sing. I expected it to be alright but no, it’s legendary. So much thought and effort went into this game. I love it

Whenever this song plays after I die it makes the loss feel less bad. What an amazing song (along with the rest of the beautiful ost).

I swear this song gives me chills listening to it. So freaking beautiful! It's mesmerizing.

Ashley and Darren make Supergiant's games complete

Lore was on point (with a fun twist or two), gameplays amazing, immersion was perfect, music is nothing but total bangers from start to finish, voice actors giving it there all, and beautiful art as far as the eye can see. Countless hours of gameplay down and I'm still getting new dialogue. 11/10 game.

When Orpheus sang Cerberus fell asleep and later on when he sang in front of Hades and his council everyone started crying and Persephone told Hades ''Give this man whatever he wants for his sorrow is too big''.

This is the same man voicing Skelly

he sings like a angel

2:40 At this part I can picture him trying to hold on to Eurydice hand while shes being pulled back in the underworld by the Furies after his dumbass turned around

I won't say that much. The core part for me was gameplay, which didn't stand out much. There are other indie games that surpasses hades in game play like dead cells and enter the gungeon. Tho everything else is amazing in hades. The character design, VA, dialogues etc

The best song in Hades so far, in my opinion. I'm 50 hours in and this song made me stop and blew me away.

This is the most accurate representation of the actual story of Orpheus in Greek mythology. "Don't look back!"

When orpheus first played this, it took me a second before i realized he was playing music again. I was floored, and couldnt help but be entranced by his tune. The attention to detail and the personalities of each of these characters are so on point, that every little detail about all of the gods and what they say makes me question their true intent. If i were in zagreus' shoes, i dont know how i could trust anyone.. the very thought of it makes me nervous. Hades is one hell of a game.

How pleasantly surprised I was when messing around with the settings and this song begins to play, and after a few lyrics realizing it was Orpheus. I'll be honest, most of what I know of Orpheus and Eurydice is from Hadestown and Overly Sarcastic Productions but what I do know I really love.

Started crying at "Don't look back" since that's how he lost her... So so good OMG

The way the songs always seem to have a double meaning is so interesting to me. This relates not only to the singers inability to escape, but also to zagreus’s inability. Another example is Good Riddance was written to praise the underworld by his wife, but when he sings it reflects the sadness of what he lost in the land of the living. So well done.

The very first time i heard this song was after I almost killed the final boss on my first try. I was convinced OK, I'm putting this game down, I can't do ALL of that again to probably fail again but all my anger just drained out of me as I stood by the pool listening to him sing, absolutely gorgeous game U_U

Anyone else listening to this in 2023? I'd love to hear this live

When I came out of the Styx and heard this it gave me that choked up in your throat feeling and I just slowly paced as Zagreus while I listened trying not to relate it to my life and cry 😭

2:42 the finale gives me chills every time. It really feels like the desperate warnings and pleas of the person who made the mistake of looking back and paid the price.

I’ve been a lover of Greek mythology my entire life. However, I’ve never been able to properly imagine how Orpheus sounded, until I walked into the House for the first time and heard him singing the Lament. I don’t know where they found this man but oh my God, he spot on how Orpheus must’ve sounded!! Every time I return to the House and he’s singing. I always pause and listen. It’s beautiful.

Orpheus is such a cute guy. His voice is so shrill and nervous that I expected him to never sing again. But hearing him sing is such a treat.

You can just feel the pain and sadness. I don't know if I've ever heard music so accurately capture the essence of something so fundamental as sadness.

This song literally gave me chills the first time I heard it and it still does, especially the drowning part (you know what part)

Absolutely beautiful. When I first heard it I was so stunned I just stared and listened in awe.

The song is incredible, the first time he says « don’t look back » feels like an order to himself trought the past and the last is full of shame and regrets. Masterpiece

Man, Darren does an excellent fucking job with Orpheus.
