thank u to hozier for writing this song just for my book. spoilers for my book, the musical hadestown, and several millennia of greek myth:
imagine being loved by him, smh
true story: I was at a performance of hadestown a few years ago, there was a woman in the audience who clearly did not know how the story ended, because when orpheus turned around, she GASPED so loudly that the entire theatre could hear (I was up in a box very far away from her), and you could still hear her sobbing through the end of the curtain call, after "we raise our cups," after people started leaving their seats. I think about this at least once a week. it was such a funny and bittersweet moment. funny because everyone else in the audience knew what was coming, and it's rare that the ending takes someone that much by surprise. bittersweet because she was SO devastated (understandably), I think it's beautiful that the story and the cast were so deeply moving to her. I hope she is doing okay now!
anyway, some book things:
Electric Poles, Crows and Others, Aida Makoto, 2012-13
