Joan Baez Annabelle Lee

ANNABEL LEE / EDGAR ALLAN POË !!!

[baroqueman1]

A haunting song; one may wish to compare this with an equally beautiful setting by Henry Leslie (1822-1896). The poet seems to be saying that' love is stronger than death', but in a rather disturbing psychosexually-disturbed fashion that was possibly overlooked by Victorian auditors.

check out the version done by Marissa Nadler

[mouldybear]

Wow! a great poem, song with superb arrangement.

This is a different version you can't compare it to Stevie Nicks because it's not comparable

[Gothicwolf7773]

strange and beautiful voice

[Catlovertea4]

@Gothicwolf7773 Nothing strange about perfection.

For an incredible rendition of this song, check out Stevie Nicks' version on "In Your Dreams." Gorgeous.

[Catlovertea4]

@deliriousflame80 For me, I can't imagine this poem placed anywhere better than with Vanguard and Ms. Baez. Stevie is great for anything else, maybe, but I'm more of a Fleetwood Mac fan, than a Nicks fan.

Better than nothing. Go read aloud, and get back to us.

a good poem doesn't a good song make.

Betoverende muziek!

I love Joan Baez, but Marissa Nadler did even better with this song.

[ranchoboyeros]

so beautiful

[Catlovertea4]

Can't stay away from such sounds, especially when needed. I only wish it were longer, that I could listen with headphones while reclining in a favorite spot in the woods, looking up through the tops of trees on a perfectly clear, temperate day. Thank you Don Dilworth, Peter Schikele, and of course, Without Whom..

[ifmaribel]

perfect !!

BRAVO, joan!

I have been in love with Joan Baez since high school, and I am a grandfather now. I love the p;urity of her voice, and I love what she did for peace and justice in her life. She is a special woman indeed. Who composed the musical setting of this?

[AnniePants14]

my name is annabelle lee =)

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Music by Don Dilworth arrangement by Peter Schikele

[Catlovertea4]

I have yet to hear such a perfect piece of music and voice so perfectly matched to accompany such words, entirely. Timeless.

[operalament]

the only other person i have heard do this was Lawrence Tibbett

[thillybeaver66]

marissa nadler did it

[Sparky1002]

Thank you Orcid1 for this sweet very rare Baez musical cover of a wonderful poem  of tragically lost love by Poe.
