HADES - Good Riddance

Comments

I'm pretty sure Eurydice sings it first then gives you the song sheet for Orpheus. I remember stumbling across her for the first time and just stopping to listen to the music for about 15 mins.

So, this song is sung first in the game by Orpheus, who you find in hades court. Orpheus is a character from Greek mythology famous for being unparalleled in musical prowess, and who was in love with a forest nymph named Eurydice (pronounced you-rid-ih-chee). One day, Eurydice was accidentally bitten by a viper and died. Distraught by the loss of his beloved, Orpheus vowed to try and recover his lost love by retrieving her from the underworld. He travelled to the realm of Hades and asked him to be allowed to take the soul of his beloved back to the mortal world. Hades initially refused, but Orpheus played him a song on his lyre with such sadness and longing that even Hades’ iron heart was moved by the song. He agreed on the one condition that Orpheus was forbidden to look at his wife’s shade. She would follow behind him and he could not look back until they had exited the underworld. As Orpheus and Eurydice began to exit the underworld Orpheus became nervous that he could not hear his wife behind him and began to wonder if Hades had tricked him. In a moment of weakness, he turned around to look for Eurydice, but the moment he did the shade of Eurydice faded before him like mist and was dragged back to the depth of the underworld.
