Anais Mitchell / Way Down Hadestown
On Sunday, Adam, Alexis, Alana (who was visiting!), and I saw Anais Mitchell and company (including Ani DiFranco) perform all of Hadestown live and it was incredible and beautiful and so much fun. We were right in the front (which made taking pictures feel kind of awkward, but whatever) and afterwards they all came into the audience and taught us patriotic songs and then we marched to Washington Square Park singing them. What a night.
Anais Mitchell / Untitled
Autumn’s ashes, summer’s embers
On the sidewalk come September
Suddenly I can’t remember
Any lessons learned
[…]
How suddenly the summer died
I couldn’t bring it back to life
I couldn’t sing it back to life
But I tried
Anaïs Mitchell / Your Fonder Heart
I want to see you half-lit in the half-light
Laughing with the whites of your dark eyes

And naked as an animal, he knew:
Everything of flesh and bone
He could call it all his own
If he could name it, he could lay claim to it, too
