Hadestown Cast - Any Way The Wind Blows Lyrics






[Fates:]
In the fever of a world in flames
In the season of the hurricanes
Flood will get you if the fire don't
Any way the wind blows

And there ain't a thing that you can do
When the weather takes a turn on you
'Cept for hurry up and hit the road
Any way the wind blows

Sister's gone, gone the gypsy route
Brother's gone, gone for a job down south
Ain't nobody gonna stick around
When the dark clouds roll
Any way the wind blows

In the valley of the exodus
In the belly of a bowl of dust
Crows and buzzards flying low
Any way the wind blows

No use talking of the past, it's passed
Set out walking and you don't look back
Where you're goin' there ain't no one knows
Any way the wind blows

Sister's gone, gone the gypsy route
Brother's gone, gone for a job down south
Gone the same way as the shantytown
And the traveling show
Any way the wind blows

  1. k.... s....

    "so i took him underneath my wing" is the most raw line coming from hermes

  2. m.... m....

    ya know, I really wanna listen to musical soundtracks while studying but damn, evA nObLeZaDa'S vOiCe jUsT-

  3. F.... ....

    Oh cool another musical obsession

  4. T.... 1....

    i love how smoothly this transitions into “Come Home With Me” makes me very: “:)”

  5. a.... ....

    Almost ironic - Eurydice knows all of this and yet she still trusted Hades and the Fates? She never suspected that they might let her down? Another lesson learned here - being able to see the world the way it is doesn't stop you from getting hurt.

  6. H.... ....

    I keep listening to this for the harmonies like hot damn

  7. T.... �....

    -okay but I love the fates
    -OH SHE SOUNDS REALLY YOUNG
    -She sounds fifteen deadass
    -THE HARMONYYYYY
    -This sounds like a really good contemporary song to dance to
    -Oo the tiny riff
    —the harmonies I can’t
    -“wind comes up” is my favorite harmony
    -this girl sounds sad
    -what is a muse
    -cool

    T.... �....

    Muses are basically the goddesses of the arts!

    I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT THIS

    G.... Q....

    RubyBinxx Confession... I didn't even think of it myself

    G.... Q....

    @Ghost Queen thats okay its still a funny comment regardless of who thought of it first!

    G.... Q....

    omg i think of this too yes lads

  11. L.... K....

    Oooooooooh...

  12. S.... P....

    “People turn on you just like the wind” ASDFGHJKL NOOOOO

    S.... P....

    The gasp I made when I first heard this lyric in the theatre...

  13. S.... H....

    When I heard this song for the first time and Hermes said "You know how those muses are" I literally replied with "Fickle. 😒"

  14. C.... P....

    The fact that he says "sometimes Muses abandon you" parallels exactly what Eurydice ends up doing to Orpheus as his muse...

    C.... P....

    @Liam Kinson she made the choice to go with Hades, and even admits it in Flowers "You, the one I left behind, if you ever walk this way, come and find me lying in the bed I made" and in Chips are Down when she says "oh my heart aches to stay, but the flesh will have its way.... I'm already gone"

    C.... P....

    I think Orpheus abandoned Eurydice first when he became so engrossed in his music, Eurydice was dying and he didn’t notice, she kept calling his name and he never heard coz he stopped listening, his obsession with his music just shows how he is really the son of a Muse. I think more than anything the quote foreshadows how Orpheus will end up abandoning Eurydice for his music

    C.... P....

    @Caitlin Poor It seems she's implied to have died instead of just choosing to go down.

    C.... P....

    the-kiwi-is -not-a-pewee I’m fairly certain she did choose though? Hades gives her a ticket in When The Chips Are Down and the Fates even tell the audience that they would have made the exact same choice in Gone I’m Gone. Not only that, but Flowers is all about her regret over leaving her lover and choosing the Underworld over him, and Papers makes a big deal out of Eurydice “signing the deal herself.” While she did die, she made a clear and willing choice to go to Hadestown using the ticket Hades gave her, and while you could interpret her dying in the storm, I think that kinda strips Eurydice of her individuality, which ruins the whole point of Flowers and Gone I’m Gone

    C.... P....

    Not just the muses anyone read percy jackson

  15. M.... !....

    the harmonies for the “and there ain’t enough to go round” are literally my favorite thing ever

  16. D.... C....

    yeSS MY FAVOURITES ARE ALL HERE

  22. K.... C....

    I am so in love

  23. S.... C....

    This whole album has definitely had songs released where I'm pretty disappointed, but then tracks like this get released and feel like i'm first discovering Hadestown all over again.

    If anything, I wish Hermes talked less. It kind of ruins the song for me and had exposition that I don’t think is really necessary. Like, the whole part where he says he takes Orpheus under his wing? As in like raised him? But then treats him as anything but for the rest of the show? And the original never had that part either. I prefer what Hermes was before this.

    S.... C....

    There’s a lot of changes and performances on this album that greatly disappointed me. Eva continuously stands out though

    S.... C....

    Michael Deeks agreed, but at least we still have the original album to still listen to when we miss it, right? Haha

    S.... C....

    Michael Deeks this is exactly the show as it appears on Broadway which is much improved from the earlier version.

    S.... C....

    What do you expect? He said it himself, kindness isn't part of his nature. You can take someone under your wing or bring them up without necessarily kind to them. As far as he is able to care for a human, he cares for Orpheus, he shows it in his own way. You heard in the off-broadway recording of 'Wait for me' how reluctant he was to tell him the other way to get to hadestown. Here at least we have the way he said 'Go on' in versions 1 and 3 of 'Epic'. He's the messenger of the gods, his job is to tell people what's what, has no control over how they may react to or interpret his news. Besides, the whole point about Greek drama was that there was a chorus describing everything that happened.

  24. c.... ....

    Eva snatched my wig at the start.

  25. c.... ....

    UGHH FINALLY,,, I'VE WAITED AN ETERNITY FOR THISSS

  26. U.... F....

    The addition to this song gives Eurydice so many layers to her character and why she is the way she is- call it her soliloquy, if you must. We even get some foreshadowing of her choices later on, right from the get-go! Originally a damsel in distress from the myth, to a dynamic character in Hadestown ❤️

    And it’s great to hear more of Orpheus’s backstory as a muses’s son who fell under Hermes’s wing too!

  27. N.... J....

    we have the full soundtrack. the world will never be the same again.

    N.... J....

    hidden appreciation no it wasn’t.

    N.... J....

    Jonathan Wallach Whoops! I was thinking about something. Thanks for the reminder.
