note for anyone unfamiliar with the musical: while it it’s very relevant to america’s current political climate, it was not written as a result of it. it was written a decade before the wall was even proposed!! just pointing this out because a lot of people seem to think this musical was written to be completely political when really, the politics are subtle in the show and aren’t as dense as it seems to be!
To be specific, it was written in 2006 and has had almost no revision since! Thanks for putting this comment, this song has such a beautiful meaning behind it and while it is incredibly relevant right now people tend to forget the original intention and just assume it's a political statement.
Common Sense Put To Music.....
The Blend of Voices is Perfect!!!
🇺🇸☯♾😎👏👏👏
What's really scary is that people are taking the song and thinking it's somehow supportive of Trump's wall, when the entire point of the song is what gross circular logic a wall and general separation is.
@@fieryfenderz589oh wow really? don't really know how you can listen to the tone of the song (or basically the entire show) and not realise it's an open criticism. wild
@@fieryfenderz589
The Enemy is POVERTY.
Why do we build the Wall.....?
We build the Wall to Keep out the Enemy.
Every Illegal Immigrant Costs American Taxpayers around $30,000 per year.
(how much do u make per year?)
now multiply 30,000 × 1,000,000 (for this year already).
then add Just Ten Years of traffic, that Taxpayers Support.
3 Trillion dollars.
if thats not enough,
The burden on our Schools, Healthcare, and Law Enforcement costs Taxpayers in DEGRADED SERVICES.
so, nice try.
We build the wall to Keep us FREE.
DEBT IS SLAVERY.
hades: *_why do we build the wall, my children, my children?_*
reeve: i’m not included in that
I Swear to god, Patrick Page’s voice just keeps getting deeper. In like a year or too he’s all he’s gonna sound like a low unintelligible growls but still sound as good as he’s always been
His voice is like a sonic weapon that shakes apart The Wall!
@@jakeashworth-jones7547 lol. We need him and Eric Holloway to do a collab
So Reeve just dresses like that?
Sara Sleightholm 😂
🤣🤣🤣
literally exactly what i was thinking
He's positively vibin'
It gets worse. But yes, he's an individual
Patrick Page's voice is just RIDICULOUS (in the best way possible)! AMAZING!
Right? My first time hearing him was seeing Hadestown in London and I was completely in awe. That voice doesn't even sound human, it's mesmerising.
Scott Matlock his lowest note is a G1 - is that even humanely possible?? Is he a human??
The next version of hadestown will just feature a subwoofer as hades, it's the ultimate evolution
I have no idea how he does it.
Anaïs wrote the role for Patrick. He has said no one writes a Broadway role for a basso profundo voice.
2:35
Hades: what do we have that they should want?
Orpheus: A part of song to sing?
heart eyes for reeve just sitting there the whole time
there was another clip i saw, im going to have to find it, they sung through the reprise of wait for me and reeve only had one line, and i feel so bad for the guy. and then i remember the rocky horror remake and then my moral compass stabilizes
Paulthefonz what’s the rocky horror remake???
@@12myea He played Riff Raff. I didn't really like it that much tho.
"What do we have that they should want?"
"WE HAVE A WALL!"
Never fails to make me laugh
Patrick Page...what a VOICE!! ! Sooooo dark and deep! We met Patrick outside the stage door last month after a performance of Hadestown. One of the most gracious and kind actors on Broadway! He took time to meet with each of us. This man is a Broadway treasure!!
That’s so cool! He does seem like that type of person, tbh.
I love how circular the logic is in this song. Amazing lyric writing.
I love that in these performances where they don't have the full cast and need the principles to do the ensemble parts, Reeve is never seen singing this song. Because Orpheus would never. He's staying in character even when he's not in character. So good.
Andre’s shoes
*enough said*
Abby Jenkins also how everyone's feet are secured on the chair but is are kinda just there... Swinging... Also bright silver... We stan
Yh
I just noticed that
King
Hard to notice but sassy and classy lol
That is a BASS! And an extremely relevant song.
marsha goldstein G1!!!
It's funny how they all have differently colored hair: grey, white, brown, black, blonde and... non-existent.
Lmaoooo “non-existent”-
A ginger is needed for that empty chair to complete lol.
Eva sings so nonchalantly. Its incredible, really.
I feel like her talent is almost otherworldly. She creates these awe inspiring transcendent moments, yet when the performance stops she seems so utterly normal and real and down to earth.
That’s the perfect way to describe her voice
I feel she's the most "chalant" of all the singers there.
I love how they all seem to be in the clothes their characters might wear in the 21st century
oooh for some reason I love the blend of Eva, Anais and Andre's voices together ... kinda throaty but soothing
Everyone is talking about the Hades part (understandably), but like Andres voice in the chorus gives me the shivers
Lester Papa-DAMN-Poulos i helling love Andre
i love reeve just chillin
I actually sang along with Hades part and it turned out pretty decent. However, now my throat feels like I ate a bowl of nails...
I can do it but it has to be 7 AM and I have to be sick. Worth it if you ask me.
same
Some of us can do it naturally.
Bass Gang
That's why they warm up their voices before singing
"Why do we gargle sand, my children? Why do we gargle sand?"
"Don't you understand? We gargle sand, 'cause it makes us sound like a wise old man, my children."
where did amber gray go tho
His VOICE! I’ve never heard this song before and it literally gave me chills. Damn.
Reeve straight up vibing with that bandana
I had minimal preparation about the show before I saw it. Bought the tickets right after the show won the Tony as a gift for my wife's birthday. This song blew me away.
This feels like a weirdly soft version.
It’s Anaïs’s voice ahahaha
Just the way Patrick breaths in at 0:20 literally gives me life!
Remember when this song was a metaphor?
don’t play with matches
Took some digging around to figure it out - the guy at the keyboard is Liam Robinson, who is the musical director of the show.
This is the longest example of circular logic I've ever heard. For those who don't know what that is, a simple example is saying that animals that are cold blooded like to sunbathe, and cats like to sunbathe, so cats are cold blooded because cold blooded animals like to sunbathe.
The example I gave is a two-step circle, this song has six steps. Why do we build the wall? To keep out the enemy, who is poverty (and by extension, those in poverty), we keep them out because they want something we have that they don't, which is work, the work being the wall we're building to keep out the enemy, and so on and so on. The logic trail doesn't reach an end point of evidence, eventually the evidence is the point the arguer is trying to make.
Underrated and under liked comment
Does he just.. sound like that? holy shit
I am so in love with this performance, I think half of the views are from me alone.
2:42 Eva’s singing gives me heavenly chills EVERY TIME
I first heard this song as a cover version at the end of the Philosophy Tube video "Steve Bannon" - one of my favorite UA-camrs, and one of my favorite videos by him (introducing one of the most chilling villain characters ever, "The Arsonist")
And today, I get this video in my Facebook feed - just as I learn that Steve Bannon has been arrested. Coincidence? Probably.
Don’t play with matches
the technical director at my school knew anais when they worked in vermont together, and he saw her developing hadestown. i can't help but think he remembered this song during the election.
My Christmas tree fell on top of me while I was watching this,,,
I just wanted yall to know
André is a treasure, Patrick’s voice is absolutely haunting, and I’ve always loved Reeve Carney. What a great cast and musical.
God, I wish I could sing that deep and still sound that clear.
Am I the only one who keeps staring at Eva’s t-shirt lol
yoyoeldas what does it say
Tucker Bonnell new york phucking city
I just imagine hades doing a radio speech and he’s re motivating the workers, and the response is them singing the only thing they can remember since they’re dead, that they build the wall to free them from poverty
In every Great musical, there's a moment where things switch from good to great, and that was this moment in this musical for me. The players in Albuquerque nailed it.
"We build the wall to keep us free" has very much Berlin wall vibes.
#HadestownFortheTony
Apple needs to make a Siri voice with this dude
"What's down below ?"
"The railroad tracks"
"And below the tracks"
"Hadestown"
"And below Hadestown ?"
"The planet's crust"
"And below the crust ?"
"The planet's mantle"
"And below ? What lies at the very bottom, down the deepest well ?"
"Patrick Page's voice"
Just saw this show last night at Bass Concert Hall in Austin, TX. Among the very best shows I've seen at Bass over decades. They sent us the A Team thank you!
So good. Instant classic!
Look how far Patrick Page has come:
from the role of Lumiére (where he and future wife Paige Davis aka Babette met),
to Scar,
to Judge Claude Frollo,
now, this.
Just came back from New York. Great performance!! Great songs, great singers
Loved this musical!!
Oh my god that voice!!! Wish I could have a voice that amazing.
When I went to see Hadestown earlier this week, we had Alex Puette understudying for Hades and he was absolutely fantastic - although Patrick Gage's gravelly voice is crazy cool, Alex Puette will remain the Hades that I remember for years to come.
I saw Alex Puette as well! I liked his take on Hades, he seemed a little more slimy and menacing, but he was just as charismatic. A great performance :)
Great tune love it 😃
Oh my gosh! For the first time I heard this on WERU an independent radio channel near bar Harbor, Maine. I knew that I wanted to hear or see the musical and had heard a smidge about it but did not know that that song until now was from that. I hope it comes to Bangor or here. How I was struck by listening to the song on the radio today during the rain on a dusky dreary ride home. Awesomely beautiful awesomely thoughtful.
Fav song from Hadestown
That's a voice that commands respect, even if you know he's talking shite.
Just so folks know, even if not intended by the lyricist, there have been walls in Israel and at the US Southern Border before Trump and before this musical. It's key to our Imperial violence.
it's truly wild seeing people say "it's not a political song". like, yes it is! just, absolutely agonizing that people think trump just appeared fully grown out of the woods one day and was not the result of the far right in the US building its power for decades.
what's even more wild to me is all the right wingers who thought this was a conservative anthem, when the song literally goes "we have to build the wall to keep out these people who want what we have! what is it we have? well, this wall to work on!" like it's so obviously circular and absurd, a really elegant metaphor for how capitalism sustains itself
haunting
goosebumps....just goosebumps.
That bass voice... good in a way different than the late Leonard Cohen's, but every bit as compelling.
2:08, I'm sure it's just how it *looks* but the keyboardist literally looks like the physical embodiment of hating your job, being totally exasperated by it but resigned to your frustrating reality.
Again, I sincerely doubt it's true but it sure does looks like it in that moment 🙄😉😆
OPPOSITE. DUH.
That's Liam Robertson : MUSICAL DIRECTOR OF THE SHOW.
@@rukeyser, interesting bit of trivia 👍
I’m sure he loves it but it’s kind of a boring song to play on keyboard because the lyrics don’t really need heavy instrumentals
Something I learned from the interactions between myself and my parents when I used to play an instrument is that for some people the zone of focus you enter when enraptured in a piece can look, perplexingly, like absolute boredom
True, pure, genius
Eva on that last note tho.
Ah that’s brilliant
Okay but the comments section is almost as entertaining as this performance. Almost.
Patrick Page is a king! Love this song!
that's just insane. wow
I remember seeing Anais perform this live in St. Louis when she had just been signed to righteous babe.
This off the chains!😲
Reminds me of the version from the concept album!
Genial!
I would love to hear understudy Timothy R. Hughes as Hades some day.
William Wandel i’m pretty sure it’s oliver t. reid
well he actually did the role of Hades in some shows
This guy should be on the Oktavism channel - fascinating voice!
I'd pay any amount just to hear patrick page say "Finish him"
omg is andre wearing his character shoes
and dangling his feet like a little kid, this is why I love Andre
Patrick eats gravel and cigars for breakfast
There is so much irony in this song, it tears me up.
Well, there's no irony in this, but there's certainly circular logic and terrifying fascist rhetoric
I wish this version was on the album
Это просто шикарно. Нет слов!
THE SILVER BOOOOOTS! I’m gonna miss him as Hermes
Be careful with matches
The Arsonist brought me here
He's well travelled
David Pakman brought me to the Arsonist who brought me here.
I like you.
Say, you wouldn't happen to have a match?
...I guess you could say I’m anti-fire...
Does anybody know where I can find the sheet music for this?
Man, I didn't think anyone could ever come close to the awesomeness of Tony Jay, but Peter Paige! Woo!
Droemar *patrick page sir
*Patrick Page
Sylvia Beckwith-Brown woah i said that 2 months ago
I know this comment is a year late, but they both played Frollo! Tony Jay in the film, and Patrick originated the role on stage
i really love Andre
Eva voice is just insanee
Hell is a state of mind, heaven is reality itself -CS Lewis.
to constrast CS Lewis, "hell is other people" jean paul sartre.
@@douglasparkinson4123 George MacDonald, a great influence on Lewis imagined the worst part of hell was just a black infinite empty space where you're all alone, with your own thoughts... *forever*
But MacDonald was a universalist meaning he believed all those who go to hell eventually repent and get out.
@@christophersnedeker2065 its an interesting mark between introverts and extroverts. for some, hell is simply being alone, and for others, the idea of being stuck with people, with no way to leave, is worst.
personally i find the idea of being stuck in a room with people forever horrible. an empty room with 4 chairs and 4 people. nothing to do but sit around and just be with people.
hell itself.
@@douglasparkinson4123 have you ever been afraid of your own mind?
I say, you wouldn't by any chance happen to have...a match?
*fingerguns*
a person after our own heart
As long as you promise not to play with it
Fuck i love this song!! Mainly because of Patrick Page's voice 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Why do we build the wall?
2021 me: BECAUSE OF TITANS?
Eldians:
Why do we build the wall?
We build the wall to keep us free,
That's why we build the wall, We build the wall to keep us free.
this song really describe paradis island:)
Fritz: Who do we call the enemy? My children, my children, who do we call the enemy?
Titans: Who do we call the enemy?
The enemy is not Marley, and we build the wall to keep them free,
that's why we build the wall,
We build the wall to keep them free.
'You know what would sound good?'
'What?'
'If we turned the piano up way too loud and made the guitar almost inaudible'

[Hades & company:]
The enemy is poverty
And the wall keeps out the enemy

[Hermes:]
Then Hades told Eurydice:
[Hades:]
There are papers to be signed
Step into my office
[Hermes:]
And he closed the door behind
Now, a lot can happen behind closed doors; that's for sure, brother, that's a fact!
But a lot can happen on the factory floor, when the foreman turns his back
