I like this, but the music is like way louder than the vocals. It was hard for me to understand because I couldn't really hear it without blowing my ears out.
I have to memorize about 5 stanzas of this, and I'm listening to them non-stop in song form. I think this is going to be the best recitation I have ever given!
What the hell is a picture of Micheal Jackson doing there at 6:49? Are you trying to say that MJ was giving kids nightmares? I'll never watch this video ever again!
Eh...it's not creepy enough :/ A cello or violin, or even a piano would fit with this a whole lot better. The vocals could either be lower, or sound more scared. But very original idea c:
Very good job at first I wasn't sure but wow! Good job. I love this poem I always remember this poem from the halloween episode of the simpsons where Bart is the raven and Homer is Poe I love the art work as well.
I would really, really love an mp3. I love this poem, and this song just brings it to life. I got a raven tattoo a few hours ago, with th world "nevermore" below it.
You are truly a mastor! Ok, the vocals were at some parts too silent for me to hear, but I anyway have a problem with hearing, so my bad, not yours - and can I get the mp3 pretty please?? Thanks in advance!
Edgar Allen Poe was a master of dark poetry and beautiful writings. This video only complements the beautifuly dark words that only Poe kould write. Please send me the mp3 of this song. Edgar Allen Poe will never die in the hearts of his passionate followers. Rest In Peace my influence and inspiration. My heart and the hearts of millions follow you to the grave..
I really like this. It's not perfect; you got some of the words wrong, and I think it could be really great if you worked on it more. But still, it's really good. It sets the mood wonderfully and really brings the poem alive.
This is amazing! I so glad that there are other people in the world that share my love of Poes' work...
Check out the book The Blackiest Bird, Edgar is a character in the book, with Virginia (his cousin). The police suspect Edgar of murder, because they think he murdered a woman that he loved. It explains what he was like as a person and the character in the book.
There is a Masters of horror episode about Poe as well.
Hey thanks a lot for the recommendation. I'm always looking for new reading material. I checked out the synopsis and I think I just might read it. Thanks!
I'm very flattered that you all want an mp3 version. Anyone that wants an mp3 version, send me a private message here on youtube with your e-mail address and I'll send you the mp3 as an attachment. It's 7.5 megabytes fyi.
did you do this with a music program like sony acid? if you are i have like the same problem with getting sounds drowned out and some things off beat. otherwise, great job. ive gotta memorize the first 74 lines by tomorrow and thanks to this i already got the first two stanzas down. great job!
I am not gonna lie. Im listenin to this all the time. I love it, its good and creative. Good job man. I do agree it could be louder though, especially in the beginning of the last stanza which is my favorite part but the voice is too low and the guitar is too loud.
I'm glad it helps. I remember reading this poem in English freshman year of high school and I've been in love with it since. Not everything you learn in school is tedious and boring ;)
I really like it. Very creative. You did a very good job. And way to add your own creativity to the poem that really gives it your own signature. I like it.
