Oh my god, the ending lyrics! Anaïs figured out how to make her new ending work! In Working on a Song she writes about trying to revise Epic III’s ending frantically before Broadway and eventually letting it go… but she did it!

I hope this increases the chances of getting an Official West End Cast Recording if the Broadway one isn’t definitive 🤞🤞🤞

I loved “the more he has the more he holds” but the new lyrics have been growing on me

donal’s voice is absolutely stunning.

I wasn't expecting the staging of this number to be so incredible but OH MY GOD

Thank you for capturing this! I knew nothing about the changes until Jordan Fisher sang them last night and I was so thrown by it that I couldn’t properly appreciate their beauty (maybe Jordan’s not used to them yet either). I don’t think it can top “the more he has, the more he holds” for me, but it’s a lovely ending.

they danced ❤ so beautiful, and his voice in those last 'lalala's is so smooth

3:11 the vocals are some the best I have ever heard my goodness

Donal Finn needs to release music like NOW his voice is so beautiful

Thank you! You’re doing God’s work for those of us living in the other side of the world and unable to see the production❤❤❤

Excellent performance.

hmmmm, i'm defintely missing the "the more he has the more he holds....etc" this version might have to grow on me. it's so interesting the jounry of this show, there are bits from each version of it that I love along the way

she needs to bring back the original epic 3 😔

Oh i really want to see them dance! Hope they will release an official video some day.

The previous lyrics were actually sadder, imho.

Anyone got a transcription of the new lyrics? Can't quite make all of it out

3:33 I know how it is because he is like me I know how it is to be left all alone There's a hole in his arms where the world used to be When Persephone's gone His work never done, his war never won Will go on forever, whatever the cost Cause the thing that he's building his wall around is already lost

Wait why did they change the lyrics at the end?

In the book "Working on a Song," Anais Mitchell explains her difficulty with ending the song and how the ending never felt done or finished to her. She actually wrote some of the "new" lyrics way back in the day, but she never was able to make them work in the song until now :)
