🇨🇦 it’s never over (oh Orpheus )

2013,  Reflektor- Arcade Fire , 

Songwriter:Jeremy Gara ,  Regine Chassagne  ,  Win Butler , 

the song is based on the Greek myth of  Orpheus and Eurydice  . 

Orpheus , a talented musician , travels to the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife Eurydice after she dies .  he is granted permission to bring her back to the living world , but only on the condition that he does not look back at her until they have reached the upper world .  Orpheus agrees , but overcome with anxiety and doubt , he turns to look at Eurydice just before they reach the exit  as a result , she is lost to him forever ,

Arcade Fire’s song retells this tragic story in a modern context, the lyrics, sung with raw emotion by lead singer  Win Butler , explore themes of loss , grief  , and the impossibility of for getting someone you have loved . 

the song’s driving Beat and anthemic chorus  create a sense of urgency and power , reflecting the intensity of Orpheus’s pain and longing ,

☘️〜 Win Butler ,  he was a literary young man who like the Russian literary giant  Dostoevsky , 

🎸🎻 their songs are melancholic artistic rock 🎸🎵
