Описание: I put this Epic III instrumental track together for a group of Hadestown covers I made last month. Now it is YOURS FOR THE TAKING/KARAOKEING! Sing your hearts out songbirds:D


Here is the link to the original cover I made this backtrack for if you want to take a gander:)

This karaoke track is based mostly off of the 2017 live cast recording of Hadestown (the Original Broadway Cast Recording wasn't released yet when I recorded). All sounds were recorded live by hitting some part of an acoustic guitar (minus some cymbal crashes here and there).

If you are looking for a karaoke track without the original backing vocals from the cover (la la la's during the [COMPANY] portion) shoot me a comment and I'll see what I can do.


Epic III from Hadestown
[ORPHEUS]
Heavy and hard is the heart of the king
King of iron, king of steel
The heart of the king loves everything
Like the hammer loves the nail

But the heart of a man is a simple one
Small and soft, flesh and blood
And all that it loves is a woman
A woman is all that it loves

And Hades is King of the scythe and the sword
He covers the world in the color of rust
He scrapes the sky and scars the earth
And he comes down heavy and hard on us

But even that hardest of hearts unhardened
Suddenly, when he saw her there
Persephone in her mother’s garden
Sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair

The smell of the flowers she held in her hand
And the pollen that fell from her fingertips
And suddenly Hades was only a man
With a taste of nectar upon his lips, singing:
La la la la la la la…

[COMPANY]
La la la la la la la…

[ORPHEUS]
And what has become of the heart of that man,
Now that the man is King?
What has become of the heart of that man,
Now that he has everything?

The more he has, the more he holds,
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
See how he labors beneath that load
Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go
And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending
He grows so afraid that he'll lose what he owns
But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending
Is already gone

Where is the treasure inside your chest?
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
Where is the man with his hat in his hands?
Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing:
La la la la la la la…

[HADES]
La la la la la la la…

[ORPHEUS]
La la la la la la la…

[BOTH]
La la la la la la la…

Thanks for watching:)
