Anaïs Mitchell

And it just becomes whatever it needs to be.

But sometimes you can kind of tell that it was like, oh, that simply has an Aeneas... vibe or a josh vibe or whatever sometimes we just totally build things from the ground up too but to get to your actual question no there's no difference like it's all

um there's definitely songs that i hear in bonnie horseman records that like maybe he definitely started with the seed of mine where i was like that could have been that song and deep in love the most popular I think probably most popular Bonnie White Horseman song, the one that got like a Grammy nomination and stuff too.

But then I saw Hadestown, and I love Hadestown.

Love Anais Mitchell.

And I am watching Hadestown and realizing that nobody is watching this as, like, a foreign story.

Nobody's freaking out about the names.

I mean, I'm a friend, my friend is, uh, from the folk world is Anaïs Mitchell, who created Hadestown.

Well, there you go.

You know, she wrote it, I remember when she was working on it, it was just a piece of, like, 1930s propaganda.

You know, like, it's all pain.

It's a journal.

That's how we all start out, unless we're Anaïs Mitchell and we're writing mythology.

I think their voices sound really good together.

I don't remember Anais Mitchell's voice sounding quite like that because it could be quite polarizing.

I could imagine.

offer, whether it's Once or

Come From Away or Hadestown by Anais Mitchell, etc., And so I was completely obsessed with this movie.

And there was a scene in the movie early on before they, before she kind of leans into her massive explosion of quote unquote success.

When they're sitting in a parking lot and she can sing, she knows she can sing.
