Hadestown watches Hadestown!

Wedding Song

It's snowing! I mean to be fair it has already snowed where I live and it was like spring weather earlier this week but whatever. Also if you've listened to Positions what your favorite song? Mine's either West Side, Just Like Magic, or P.O.V.

[EURYDICE]

Lover, tell me if you can

Who's gonna buy the wedding bands?
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

"Again, hard is an understatement." Eurydice said.

[ORPHEUS]
Lover, when I sing my song
All the rivers'll sing along
And they're gonna break their banks for us
And with their gold, be generous
All a-flashing in the pan, all to fashion for your hand
The river's gonna give us the wedding bands

Most people were questioning if that was going to work, but they wouldn't have been surprised if it did.

[EURYDICE]
Lover, tell me if you're able
Who's gonna lay the wedding table?
Times being what they are
Dark and getting darker all the time

"Well, that's not wrong." Eurydice muttered.

[ORPHEUS]
Lover, when I sing my song
All the trees gonna sing along
And they're gonna bend their branches down
To lay their fruit upon the ground
The almond and the apple
And the sugar from the maple
The trees gonna lay the wedding table

People were questioning if it would work again.

[instrumental break]

[EURYDICE, spoken]
So when you sing your song
The one you're working on
Spring will come again?

"It would work a little bit, but there are things that would have to be fixed." Pesephone stated with a glance at Hades.

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Why don't you sing it then?

[ORPHEUS]
It isn't finished

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Sing it
You wanna take me home?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Yes

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Sing the song

"Ah yes, bribery." Elizabeth said. "Oh and also this next part is repeated a lot." she added.

[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...

[COMPANY]
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...

"That is a lot of la's" Hades noted.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
How'd you do that?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I don't know
The song's not finished though

"Yeah how did that work so well?" Persephone asked, not expecting that to work.

[EURYDICE, spoken]
Even so, it can do this?

[ORPHEUS, spoken]
I know...

[EURYDICE]
(spoken)
You have to finish it!
(sung)
Lover, tell me when we're wed
Who's gonna make the wedding bed?
Times being what they are
Hard and getting harder all the time

"You really do need to finish it." Persephone said.

"I"m working on it." Orpheus replied.

[ORPHEUS]
Lover, when I sing my song
All the birds gonna sing along
And they'll come flying from all around
To lay their feathers on the ground
And we'll lie down in eiderdown
A pillow 'neath our heads
The birds gonna make the wedding bed

[EURYDICE]
And the trees gonna lay the wedding table

[ORPHEUS]
And the rivers gonna give us the wedding bands

[COMPANY]
Oooooo

"That was a nice song." said Hermes.

Everyone else was to focused on Orpheus's song.
