  • this is the best version , something about the mic is perfect

  • complete genius!!

  • Is it on itunes

  • this is great keep going

  • i love this <3 so much

  • wow this is cool

  • I like it but... It just sounds like something done for fun and really rushed. No emotion and no feeling! :/

  • You have SKILL

  • where's the download button on myspace?

  • 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.

  • Quote the smileydude64, perhaps if you didn't repeat the ending of each paragraph this retelling of The Raven would be better.

  • do you have tabs for this song?

  • Any chance that we could get the chords or tabs for this? Pleaseeee =] It's really awesome

  • wow, great... Vocals could be a little louder, though.

  • "This is amazing!", quoth the raven.

  • I don't know if the song and tone fits the tone of the poem, but it sounds great!

  • I like it, though I wish the singing was a bit more prominent. The guitar is a bit overwhelming in a song that is notable for its lyrics.

  • The vocals could be better but the track is really good

  • Sorry, but I hate this; I love, love, love the raven, but this doesn't work for me. Just my opinion.

  • Oh my gosh thank you! I love this! Can you make more of Poe's poems? Pretty please?

  • thumbs up for barnstable high school winter percussion for making "the raven" badass

  • 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!

  • I am in love with this now...

  • ive listened to this on repeat like 10 times now... its beautiful and the perfect accompaniment to my AP Lit paper on Poe's poetry

  • Congratulations, very impressive.

    Please, share the tabs!

  • very beautiful.

  • @Aldwyndor Poe wrote on both : D

  • what not alot of people know is that the poem the ravin is about holloween

  • @JINXX360 then whys it take place in december

  • is this on itunes?

  • what do a writing desk and a raven have in common?

  • @Aldwyndor Both have inky quills....and there is another part to this answer.

  • @Aldwyndor Poe wrote on both. :)

  • I sent you message on youtube messanger for the download, if you could respond to that, that'd be great

  • can anybody tell me what are chords played?

  • This is really nice !

  • wow u sung this thats awsome i love this its amazing

  • this is... breathe taking

    I love it!!

  • 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!

  • omg so beatifull!!!

  • This is wonderful. It still has that chilling feeling of a great classic, but with a twist. This is truly amazing.

  • u kno hes my cuzin by marige i found out on my family tree its really cool

  • @cocobutter891 it so is.=)

  • @luna4ever36 haha yeah its pretty cool(:

  • stunning

  • just what i needed. :)

    awesome job!

  • hey man this is awesome. thats so cool

  • Not what i expected, but real great job. 5/5 and instant Favs

  • That was amazing! I'm so glad I found this!

  • Perfect ;)

  • Great job!!

  • 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:

  • Picture at 1:00, spooky ftw?

  • @YoyoyankeesfromRS I agree!!!!

  • i think it sucks. i could not finish it. it needed more.

  • No way! The minimalistic musical background suits the poem perfecly!

  • *claps* WELL DONE !

    Thank you for the share, enjoyed it very much. :)

  • Very, very good! Thank you very much.

  • very very great song.

  • 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.

  • really great 5* more this

  • The vocals are way too soft compared to the guitar; the singing is mediocre, as well. Very creative, however.

  • I love the music and I really like the vocals. Great job!

  • Amazing! Brilliant!

  • Poe.. I quite recently discovered him, and I'm starting to like him very much. I love this poem and I love your song version of it too!

  • 2:15 facts of M. Valdemar

  • Its very well done bravo

  • This music is wonderful, it sounds as if it truly belongs to the night.

    Check out Uaral for something similar.

    I don't like your vocals at all though =/

    But great, amazing music.

  • says the world of warcraft player.

  • hey i kant do it that i dont like it lol

  • Hey, I love playing World of Warcraft, but I also love all of Poe's work. And I love your vid too :P

  • @polmp789 Shut the fuck up. This is an AMAZING interpretation of the Poem. So keep your faggish comments to yourself.

  • @dornXklondykeXbar wow your a real dick arent you?

  • @polmp789 No, I'm a cunt. Get it right.

  • @polmp789 your life is lame

  • 6:44 damn is that Michael Jackson?

  • 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.

  • Beutiful!

  • 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!

  • This is just breath taking.....OMG im blown away, im with DarkBangle on this.....Hats of to you sir!!!!!

  • Thanks a lot for the good words. Yes it was written/sung by me. If you want the mp3, message me with your e-mail address and I'll get it to you.

    Sadie- I'm glad it helped you out. I remember learning this poem freshman year of high school and i've loved it ever since.

  • breath taking....i really like this, i like what you did here and what inspired you. Check out my channel, we have some similar themes.

  • beautiful. Omnia has sung this song too.

  • Quite impressive. I like the way you handled the word obeisance, it seems to always upset the meter even when not put to music.

  • Great job!

  • nice mark this is ur brother dan

  • awesome job! Is there an mp3 of this?

  • This song is wonderful. Is is possible to have an mp3 version? Please mail me.

  • Seconded

  • Thirded.

  • Count me in.

  • 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.

  • Is there a downloadable audio version anywhere?

  • haha typo, 24 lines

  • 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.

  • Only thing I can complain about is that I wish your voice was a little louder. Sometimes it got hard to hear you but holy shit that was beautiful!

  • I think you've just made my day.

  • Absolutely amazing!

  • Dude this is amazing!

    Did you just use guitar, or a music editing program?

    This is inspiring, Favourited.

  • i love you.

    i have to memorize this for english. and this really helps.

  • 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.

  • Truly yours? This is great.

  • Yes, I wrote the music in Paris when I had been reading a lot of Poe and was suddenly musically inspired. Thank you!

  • awesome, well done

  • that's the best one i've heard. ;o

    very good job.

  • That works really well :o)

  • that's kickass

  • R. I. P. Ed
