I spent the game like "ok he can't be THAT good just let him go" and then i came out of the pool and heard this and i F R O Z E for a solid 5 minutes

I can’t believe it took me this long to piece it together. In the myth of Orpheus it is said that after he fails Eurydice, he returns to the mortal world and makes a song that is so sad that crops die, people are plagued with depression and nightmares, and women miscarry. All leading to his being murdered for ruining people’s lives with his Uber-depressing lament. THIS is supposed to be that song.

I've never heard a voice like this before, and yet somehow it's exactly what I expected Orpheus to sound like.

I love the: Composed by Darren Korb Lyrics by Darren Korb Vocals by Darren Korb That just makes me laugh.

Orpheus is a male siren. The way this sounds. Eery but beautifull.
@pax462
Love that they even play the song when you move to another room and give it a faraway echo effect. Lot of polish for an unfinished game
@entitymari3329
when Orpheus was singing this at the house I was listening and when he said Don't look back, I lowkey felt like I was stabbed in my feelings
@dantevitale5714
This game is incredible. There is nothing that was even remotely half assed in this game. The music, the art, the voice acting, the gameplay, the story, the characters, the relationship mechanics. Everything just works.

Even though "Good riddance" is, arguably, fan favourite, this one takes the cake for me. Clean, simple to understand, and could easily be translated into poetry from Greek mythology itself.
@diromiz
At first I was like "Hades, how could you imprison that poor man for refusing to sing?!? That's so cruel!" But then I actually heard him sing and I immediately understood where Hades was coming from

This ain't your everyday roguelike dungeon crawler. No, ma'am.
@turboencabulator2079
The "Drowning..." part near the end literally sent shivers down my spine.
@easy-e4472
You can impress your friends, or just make yourself sound like a huge lit nerd, by pointing out that the first few stanzas are in trochaic tetrameter, mostly catalectic trochaic tetrameter to be precise, which is unusual. Don’t see that very often. That type of meter can help add a somber and haunting tone, which works perfectly in this song. Great track imo.

Ah, the Tragedy of Orpheus. The story of how self doubt and anxiety took away a man's second chance to bring back his beloved from the land of the dead.
@gfearnley2634
darren korb deserves a medal for this falsetto.
@VonFatCat
Fun fact about Orpheus, when he lost his wife in the underworld, he played a song that was so upsetting that it had a negative effect on life in the nearby area, crops where failing, dogs where going nuts, woman were having miscarriages, it got so bad that a group of woman actually killed him and threw his body into a river, I get why Hades put him in prison now.

I like how you can hear muffled music even in Zagreus' chamber.

“No one sings a sweeter, sadder song than Orpheus”

When that “drowning” hit I got chills
