I’ve only ever heard the soundtrack, and was so confused as to why there was a song after road to hell (reprise) because it’s the perfect ending. The fact that it’s part of the curtain call floors me. Wow, what a concept. I wasn’t sure I liked hadestown, but god is it beautifully done. There’s no arguing that.

from what i can find it looks sorta similar to the Gibson ES-125 or 140 sunburst(don't know year) but it's gorgeous

This song is so beautiful, it’s like a detachment from the show, reminding the people the story and what the song is about. It reminds me of Eliza Hamilton breaking the fourth wall at the end as Lin walks her up to the front of the stage and she sees all the people that heard her story. Very well written and well placed. And my favorites song in the show

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of both music and poetry I've ever heard in my life. I can't stop listening to it. The entire show was overwhelming.

absolutely. The first time I listened to it I was floored but *cough* it was always.. singing in the back of my mind *mhm cough* ,so I listened to second time.. and the time after that and it just gets so much better every single time

I didn't realize it was Eurydice singing with her! Nice touch

Me: Dont cry Brain: Dont cry also me: *cries*

Yeah this is like one of the most beautiful songs in the show but the best part is Andre just toasting people on his way off stage cause omg that's adorable

@@dylansmith1833 lmao usher here and uh since its copyright law we gotta make sure yall don't record the things the company say isn't allowed, ain't no "bitchy" and "rude" about it. The fact is that your phone screen is distracting af for everyone else tho even if it wasn't illegal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ one day theatre will be accessible like Hamilton without having to spend so much, and I really hope as a Broadway fan it's soon cause then nobody will need to record and everyone can enjoy awesome shit like this both live and in their homes 😁

The touring cast dedicated this song to Stephen Sondheim the other night 💖 what a beautiful tribute.

i didnt realize this was after the curtain call, but thats honestly genius. also, cool to know Reeve (and id assume any other Orpheus-es) is actually playing throughout the show and not just using the guitar as a prop, might have to go between this for the chord shapes and the official version to get the sound right to figure out how to play it, cause its a beautiful piece.

I like how after all the changes made to this musical over the years to refine it, this song hasn't changed since the concept album

this piece is so beautiful because it’s like they’re talking directly to the gods and thanking them for the honor of telling their story. i didn’t tear up until this song.
