  • Flowers from Hadestown put through a cathedral filter.
    (For those wondering, yes, I did use flowers with specific meanings.)
    And fun fact: this took me about 5 hours of manic productivity in one night, mad with freedom after being recently relieved of one of my biggest time commitments in my schedule.
    Edit 2/4/2020: I put a couple of the original .pngs of the panels into an imgur album because I know someone's going to want them as a desktop background or something. Go nuts. imgur.com/a/mAwAZuu
    Should I link a cathedral edit audio of the concept album version too?

    I love the double meaning of the line “And then I turned away, into the shade” Eurydice did physically turn away from Orpheus, into the shade, the Underworld. However, a shade is also a ghost or spirit of someone who has died, and Eurydice, upon entering the Underworld, turned “into the shade.”

      yeah, like the Odyssey book with the shades when Odysseus has to go down to the underworld

    the echo effect on "someone" at 2:38 is especially chill inducing..... it mixes with her vibrato on that word so gorgeously, complements it so well T_T

    Something special about the flowers that Eurydice, specifically talks about not the ones drawn in the visuals, they are actually very closely related to her motivations and overall character. So you know how she talks about wanting to lie down forever; to have a soft bed in Hey Little Songbird. And here she talks about falling asleep and drifting away. Poppies are red; and associated with death because of that, and they are associated with a peaceful death due to the effects the seeds specifically had, which later on were used to make opium. Poppies were used in greek mythologies as offerings to the dead.
    Now lilies, on the other hand, are also flowers associated with death, innocence, and heaven. Often they can mean wishes of innocence and peace after death. Often those are the kinds of flowers people will give as condolences to those who lost someone. And they are associated with Hera goddess of marriage, and her lamentations with her husband. Later on, they became associated with chastity and virginity, and I want everyone to remember that right after Eurydice names off those flowers, she talks about what happened with Hades behind those closed doors.
    And just because, the main symbol of Hadestown is the red carnation. The "Divine Flower" at the center of it all. Come to show deep love an affection. But, the carnation was another flower used by the greeks. It was a flower of worship to the greek pantheon. Red carnations are sometimes as described as having intensity and charisma, which when you look at Orpheus, I guess you can see why? In the creation according to the Romans, Diana/Artimes apparently got thirsty for a farmboy and when he said he wasn't interested she ripped his eyes out which grew into the carnations. The flower came to be used in the ceremonial crowns that the Greeks and the Romans wore.
    Okay, there, my ramble is done, this video and the visuals made me so damn emotional.

    What I wanted was to fall asleep
    Close my eyes and disappear
    Like a petal on a stream, a feather on the air
    Lily white and poppy red
    I trembled when he laid me out
    You won't feel a thing, he said, when you go down
    Nothing gonna wake you now
    Dreams are sweet, until they're not
    Men are kind, until they aren't
    Flowers bloom, until they rot, and fall apart
    Is anybody listening?
    I open my mouth and nothing comes out
    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
    And then I turned away, into the shade
    You, the one I left behind
    If you ever walk this way
    Come and find me lying in the bed I made

    Ahh please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm bad at floral identification but I /think/ these were the ones you used: poppies (red are for remembrance), calla lilies (purity), Easter lilies (hope), the bottom one as a peony (riches/compassion/shyness?), and my only guess for the center one is carnation (bravery/admiration)

      The flowers do also bloom throughout the video.
      I will admit that this one is a lot more static than my other recent videos :] it stems from the fact that these drawings were originally just supposed to be simple visuals for the music so people weren’t just stuck with a black void to stare at and the videos could be differentiated visually by thumbnail (“Starchild” is the worst offender of this). Any changes in visuals, _originally,_ were easter eggs before they were features. The main draw of these videos is supposed to just be the music with some echo, but some people seem to have latched on for the art too, for which I’m terribly grateful. I’ve been trying to up my game for their sake.
