In Netflix’s The Sandman Season 2, Volume 1, there is a moment that stayed with me long after the episode concluded: Orpheus, the son of Dream, standing before Hades and Persephone in the Underworld. With nothing but his voice, he sings in Greek—a serene, mournful song that feels as though it belongs to the Old Days, to a time when music itself was sacred and even had the power to subdue the will of gods.
It is a desperate act of love, a plea to rescue his beloved from death itself. Nevertheless, the mood of that song—timeless, delicate, and brimming with an ageless beauty that endures for centuries—was what most affected me, even beyond the narrative.
Recently, I released a song of my own that, in its own way, echoes that same spirit. It carries a voice and chorus that resemble the ethereal qualities of Orpheus’ lament—calm, yet charged with emotion, like something sung in a temple or whispered in a dream. When I saw Orpheus sing in Greek, I saw the connection between that moment and my own music, even though I didn’t mean it as an homage.
So if that scene in The Sandman touched you as deeply as it touched me, I invite you to listen to my song. Not as a direct retelling, but as a companion piece—for those who wish to linger in that mythical, melancholic beauty a little longer, and for those who believe, as Orpheus did, in the power of music to bridge the living and the dead, the mortal and the divine.
