Over Again (The Tale of Ill Luck Henry) 

Love this.

This song adds to the fact that Henry was my favorite character of the third mates. The story and character development from the first episode to the last was top tier and this song captures it all.

The way this already Jam of a song repeats the chorus a little different each time just like his lives, is beautiful.

I've listened to this a few times today and it's gorgeous, really feels like you've captured the air of how Leonora would present the story. It's crazy to me, how a podcast which opens its first episode with a discussion of Dragon Genitals can give such genuine moments as this, and inspire talented people like you to create something wonderful from them. So, thank you.

As this has worked its way into my shower singing at least once a week I realized what a nightmarish tongue twister "the fairy Leonora's outstretched hand offers a deal" is, even though it doesn't seem it, props for saying it's so elegantly!

I just relistened to Eldermourne and this hits hard! Great track

Man, I’ve listened to this song at least 10 times now and Henry’s voice coming in with the line “I would be a better man if I could do it again.” still gives me CHILLS! Love the whole thing, excellent work!

Lyrics (note that a few quotes come directly from Brian Murphy and Jake Hurwitz of NADDPod): [Leonora] The story of a man sunken deep in the throes. The life of Ill Luck Henry, though it’s not the one he knows. It isn’t so unlike the life he’s lived to date. Never climbing higher than the rank of Third Mate. Too low to garner respect. Too high not to garner resent. Ill Luck Henry finds a friend, This might not be the end. She trusts him with a secret, he guards it with his life. The crew is fraught, it’s all for naught, they blame her for their strife. Henry watches on as overboard she's thrown. Now’s the chance to let the girl know she won’t die alone. Too weak to fight em all off. Too loathed to call out their bluff. Ill Luck Henry takes a pause And that becomes the cause Of an unextraordinary life Filled with regret. Of looking down, of giving up. Abandoning Olette. As he drowns out at sea, He makes his final plea; [Leonora and Hank] “I would be a better man If I could do it again.” [Leonora] As he speaks the words, time stands still. // [Fia and Zirk] (Hmm) The fairy Leonora’s outstretched hand offers a deal. // [Fia and Zirk] (Hmm) “If you could do it again, you’d be different you say? // [Fia and Zirk] (Hmm) How many men agree to change only then to stray?” “You’re too dull to be a good play. I’m too intrigued not to try anyway.” Ill Luck Henry’s born anew And so begins a slew // [Fia and Zirk] (And so begins a slew) Of unextraordinary lives // [Fia and Zirk] (Unextraordinary) A sailor on the waves // [Fia and Zirk] (Sailor on the waves) Who lives and dies for sixty-nine // [Fia and Zirk] (Sixty-nine) Unholy, watery graves. // [Fia and Zirk] (Unholy graves) Is it futile, can he change The story that we pen? It matters nay, we have to try Over and over again. [Leonora and Hank] Over and over and over and over and over and over again! [Leonora] The tale our latest draft tells, although it’s far from done, Of saving souls and taking oaths and cherishing your son, Could not be told alone, a truth I never saw was You had the courage all along, you didn’t fail because you were Too wont to run from what’s tough. [Leonora and Hank] Two hands were just never enough! [Leonora] Ill Luck Henry does the work, [Leonora and Hank] It’s light with Fia and Zirk! In this extraordinary life, With all that has occurred, We all deserve a second chance, We all deserve a third. [Leonora, Hank, Fia, and Zirk] What makes a life worth living, A story worth the end, Are the friends who stick right by your side Over and over again. [Leonora and Hank] Over and over and over and over and over and over again!

Just finished the finale and found this. It's so wonderful!!!! Amazing work!

GORGEOUS. I seriously have goosebumps. I love this sooooo much!

Just finally finished Eldermourne last week, and this is a banger as always!! I fucking ADORED Henry's story, and this song is such a good encapsulation of why 💜💜💜

I've listened to this song on repeat 69 times. Over and over and over and over and over again.

Almost as soon as I finished campaign three I looked for the song that Emily made but stumbled upon this beautiful song and I just can't stop listening to it.

henry deserves soo much more credit than he gets honestly, he is my favourite PC in eldermornue, and i love the way the murph voices shank lol.

this song makes me cry every time i come back to it I love it so much

I LOVE THIS WITH MY WHOLE HEART!!! Edit: it actually inspired me to write a song for the Moonstone Saga! You did an amazing job!!

On my relisten of Campaign 2 and enjoying the hell out of it again.

This is absolutely incredible. I wish I'd found this sooner. Thank you ❤️

I need this on Spotify so I can add it to my playlist

I like to imagine Leonora sings this to new swords that wish to learn of the stories of past swords like the Third Mates

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

i have literally come back to this so many times because it is simply incredible !!!!!!!!!!! such amazing work i hope you stick with it !!

Spectacular!! It sounds so lovely!! 💚

Found this randomly and wow to your whole channel. Amazing!

I don't understand how this isn't on everyone's front pages. This is beautiful. I have a special soft spot in my heart for Eldermourne and the Third Mates, and I love what you did here. You all put so much effort into this song and all your work. Thank you a lot for sharing this. Is it alright if I share this on my tumblr? ( i don't have much followers but I would link your socials ofc)

Thank you so much for making this.

Another incredible banger. I can't wait to see what you make of campaign three

Can't believe you don't have more subscribers, this song is great. I've downloaded it from youtube probably a year ago and have it on my phone to listen to. My boyfriend knows it just because I sing it so much around the house. Thank you so much for this x

Your song literally made me cry. Well crafted, well played, well sung! Thank you for this gift

Just found this really beautiful song and thank you for it! Such a great version of Hank's illfortuned story-

ANOTHER BANGER BY SAM!!! HOW DO THEY DO IT

WOO

I LOVE this song!

Its so well done! Very nice ^____^

i found this looking for a compilation of ill luck henry like one big bed and i’m not dissapointed

Damn. This is special

Holy crap! A song for my favorite third mate, brilliantly done. It's annoyingly catchy to be honest (in a good way of course) and it so brilliantly captures tragedy and the change he made to avoid it in one concise masterpiece! Love it

ELDERMOURNE SUPREMACY, GIVE US S2 PLSSSSSSS jk bahumia is peak too but i love me some third mates

I love this!

I think I’ve watched this too much now
