#chant ii

[thesweetnessofspring]

By the time the anthem plays its final strains, all twenty-four of us stand in one unbroken line in what must be the first public show of unity among the districts since the Dark Days.

Me: *declares I want to do something risky*

Teammate: you’re reminding me of a hadestown quote. You know which one.

Me: actually, I don’t

Teammate: are you brave or stupid son?

Me: *does the thing* doesn’t matter which one!

Teammate: not what I meant!!

Young man, I was young once too Sang a song of love like you Son, I too was left behind Turned on one too many times

The line between naivety And hopefulness is almost invisible So close your heart, the world is dark And ruthlessness is mercy

If I had a nickel for every time an elder son of Kronos mocked the naivety of a mortal hero whose name started with O and ended with eus in a musical adaptation, I'd have two coins to pay Charon to let me across the River Styx.

I MADE AN ALL OF US VILLAINS/DEMISE ANIMATIC:DDD

It’s to Chant II in hadestown! (It’s basically just the Gavin and Alastair fight scene before the alliance but with some things changed to fit the song（＾ω＾）)

ITS REALLY BAD BUT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO MAKE AFTER LISTENING TO THE SONG A LOT! (DONT MAKE FUN OF IT OR ILL CRY(‘A`))

So I’ve seen that a lot of people like the off broadway version of epic iii more, and I totally agree. /but even that hardest of hearts/ is one of my favourite lines in the whole musical

But i think the change that I personally dislike the most is taking out Persephone’s monologue in Chant ii. Like cmon the parallels

Everytime I listen to „Chant (Reprise)“ I expect that one audience member to laugh like he did in „Chant II“ of the NYTW recording.

"I felt his arms around me then. We didn't need a wedding band. Dark seeds scattered on the ground..."

#hadestown #chant ii #justice for persephone's part in this song #i kind of miss the garden motif

[nocomforthere]

I’ll be existing and all of a sudden “he said he’d. Shelter us, he said he’d. Harbor me” pops into my head. First of all, that verse has no right to be that catchy, and second, they had no right to cut that from the song in the rewrite

Five Tracy Chapman’s All That You Have Is Your Soul / Hadestown parallels, or the “ATYHIYS and  Persephone’s part of Chant II are the same song” thesis:

1.

ATYHIYS: Oh my mama told me [...] She say don't give or sell your soul away [...] Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth

Cloud Machine (see Working on a Song p. 256): Mother, what have I done? Squandered the gift that you gave me + Way Down Hadestown: A lie for a lie! And your soul for sale + If It’s True: And it isn't for the few To tell the many what is true

2.

ATYHIYS: Well I was a pretty young girl once I had dreams I had high hopes I married a man he stole my heart away He gave his love but what a high price I paid All that you have is your soul So don't be tempted by the shiny apple Don't you eat of a bitter fruit Hunger only for a taste of justice Hunger only for a world of truth 'Cause all that you have is your soul Why was I such a young fool Thought I'd make history Making babies was the best I could do Thought I'd made something that could be mine forever Found out the hard way one can't possess another

Chant II: When I was a young girl like you Sister, I was hungry too Hungry for the underworld When I was a young girl Now you know how it tastes The fruit of Mr. Hades’ ways Sister, it’s a bitter wine-- Spit it out while you still have time Take it from a woman of my age Love is not a gilded cage All the wealth within these walls Will never buy the thing called love + Way Down Hadestown II: Oh, it was a mistake alright! And now you gotta pay And pay And pay for it, for the rest of your life!

3.

ATYHIYS: I thought, thought that I could find a way To beat the system To make a deal and have no debts to pay I'd take it all, I'd take it all, I'd run away Me for myself first class and first rate But all that you have is your soul

Way Down Hadestown: And your soul for sale Sold! To the king on the chromium throne [...] Mr. Hades is a mighty king Must be making some mighty big deals Seems like he owns everything Kind of makes you wonder how it feels + Way Down Hadestown (Reprise): The deal is signed? Yes [...] I did what I had to do That's what they did too + Any Way The Wind Blows: Eurydice was a hungry young girl A runaway from everywhere she'd ever been [...] In the end, you’re better off alone

4.

ATYHIYS: Here I am, I'm waiting for a better day A second chance A little luck to come my way A hope to dream, a hope that I can sleep again And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands [...] She say don't give or sell your soul away 'Cause all that you have is your soul

Road to Hell (Reprise): It's a sad song But we sing it anyway 'Cause here’s the thing To know how it ends And still begin to sing it again As if it might turn out this time + Flowers: Dreams are sweet until they’re not [...] Nothing, nothing gonna wake me now Flowers I remember fields Of flowers Soft beneath my heels Walking in the sun I remember someone Someone by my side Turned his face to mine + Livin’ Up On Top (NYTW): Why would he trade the sunshine for a couple of nickels and dimes? [...] Give me the sky that you can’t buy Or sell at any price And I’ll give you a song for free ‘Cause that’s how life oughta be! [...] Let the world we dream about be the one we live in now!

If anyone needs me, I'll be imagining my Hadestown CYM cast singing Chant (Reprise) in my room :)

I’m back on my bullshit but lemme just say that the girl on the left is FAR MORE GORGEOUS than the girl on the right and I know I’m right. They never should have changed her she was perfect the way she was.

#what did they do you you Hadestown 2017 #they ruined a perfectly good musical that’s what they did #I miss you og epic III and come home with me I and II and if it’s true and chant II #hadestown #Hadestown 2017 #hadestown nytw

Happy April Fools' Day! I've been saving this one for a while now... Used parts of the NYTW version specifically so I could match up these lyrics:

YOUNG MAN! I was young once too / I was once in your shoes, I said YOUNG MAN! I once sang the young man's blues / Down and out with the blues

Hadestown. HADESTOWN. WHY did you incorporate West End lyrics into Broadway. not the good ones from If It's True, but the ones from Epic III, which actively make the song worse. why did you not include the good changes and only included the bad ones. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM HADESTOWN
