THE RAVEN - EDGAR ALLAN POE

[vickiT1968]

Still Awesome

[skywhisp]

hehe, I saw the picture book from where most of these illusions are from at school once. It took me another year to find it again. absolutely epic!

[johnwilliamson111968]

Nice work. For a rather unique, noir take on this, search for "Raven + Weathers".

[TwilightFreak11295]

Edgar Allan Poe is a morbid mastermind

[Emonizer666]

Amazing

[TheSlimySeconds]

Can I know who's the painter who made these incredible paintings?

[JSGUrsa]

I appreciate the artwork, and the effort that went into making this video - but I don't see what most of the images have to do with Poe or this particular poem...?

[indiansummerfun]

Amazing The power of imagination !!!! Poetry and music !!! SWEET !!!! and art Surrealism !! Shine on !!Pinch!!!!

[indiansummerfun]

amazing breath taking !!!!!! the power of poetry and music !!!I'm listening !!!!Shine on !!!Surrealism at its best wow !!!!!

[graneadear]

[sirtavis]

tengo el cd original y es una obra de arte todos los efectos, gracias mr alan parsons y aqui en mexico a los que tiene el mismo nombre les decimos tocayos, pues su tocallo Edga Alan poe, también hizo toda una obra de arte, gracias a nesil por recordarnos estas dos obras de arte!!!

[HunterSThompson191]

FINALLY! The real recording of this song. Not some bad mix-up Mercury recording did. Much thanks nesil. You are the one and only

[whitemoonwolf13]

the pics were good but htey went by a little to fast to really enjoy.

[dixieflyer500]

Look, 57 people have no soul up there!

[russjoe123]

one of the best songs of my youth

[azzyandlexie]

Alan Parsons himself did the vocals on this song - you don't hear him do lead vocals in any other of the groups' albums. He was voted as "best vocal artist" for this song when it came out.

[spagooty]

VERY VERY COOL!

[MsSamiWami]

this song edgar allen PWNS

[Frenchie19861]

Rip Poe. I think he would have loved this capture of his art.

[KarasuKuro]

ZOMG nice pics and song :3

[clispe00]

too cool man!

[MrGonzorhea]

this is very nice, who did the paintings in the middle, it looks like M.C. Escher, but have never seen those before, very beautiful.

[IBlack04]

Hate to self promote, but I would really love if some of you guys checked out my poetry and gave me your thoughts. Everything on my channel is written and read by me, personally. I don't have much work up yet, but that will change soon.

If you like it, thumbs up and subscribe! Xx

[Magizmo03]

awesome.!

[kittenrenea]

just pure awesomeness

the only thing that could improve this song would be to put the whole narrative to this style

love it

[mirandIFUL]

[0184936]

Haha We're Watching This Right Now In English[:

[Zeno1999]

Great imaginative composition and tribute.

[GiveNoMercy13]

some pretty amazing pictures

[bissolis]

Thanks

[powergirl07]

WOW! This vid is seriously trippy, but awesome!

[thedonmo]

In the words of Sylvester Stallone, " Yoe! Annabelle Lee, though quote The Raven Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore." Coming to a theatre near you in 2012. Look at Stallones IMD page.

[supergoshin]

can someone plz give me a good site for critic reviews and criticism on edgar allan poe

[boomfist]

A dirge for her, the doubly dead, in that she died so young!

[thejesusfreak919]

You could at least put the words on there...

[thedonmo]

Can't wait for the film where Stallone is playing Poe. I can just hear Stallone, "Hey youe; Anabelle Lee, though quote the raven nevermore nevermore."

[xxkrazykittiexx]

what?! are you kidding? lol

[Tpathpslm557]

I have this album on vinyl, as most of my music is.

"Tale sof Mystery and Imagination- a Tribute to Edgar Allan Poe" by Allan Parsons Project

[RyukLover63]

well it looks great. i love poe

[MrTroubles911]

today i read hop-frog by e.a.poe

[poe526]

Must have been tragic, losing Three loved ones to tuberculosis, Lenore, such a beautiful name is'nt it

[RyukLover63]

i love the art. where did you get it?

[damilkman91]

its by Rob gonsalves

[deltadeltakilo]

Very good. Thank you very much!

[NightoftheShape3]

To you Poe fans I want to recommend the excellent Poe Biography:

"Israfel: The Life and Times of Edgar Allan Poe by Hervey Allen

This excellent read has been a foundational reference for ALL biographies written since it was first published. This is a Must Read for any Poe devotee.

I suggest buying a good used copy from Abebooks(dot)com. The reason is that it contains many wonderful Poe pictures and photos of the buildings he lived and worked in that are no longer standing.

Peace.

[HaroldKellock]

Very good! Some of this fellow's art is as good as Escher or Dali. Thank you for this.

[Terryzxx]

Well you designed one awesome video to go with the Raven....Bravo

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Very cool.

Thank you.

George Vreeland Hill

[chaoinspace2]

Man, you should have seen them kicking Edger Allen Poe.

[SlitherinGirl]

FAIL!Its not supposed to be cheerfull!

[Lyons194]

I absolutely love it! High-Five!!! lol

[handmiadenofgod]

Very cool :)

[azederty]

E A Poe? ALL MY RESPECT !

[nukkastyle]

@azederty I learned about that Mo-Fo in English class!

[MusiqueMonAmour]

Interesting pictures by this Rob Gonsalves

[pachucodude]

this has a very Pink Floyd fee lt o it

[iplaybassremembar]

alan parsons produced dark side of the moon so.....

[ihateperverts]

This song helped me remember my lines for an Edgar Allen Poe play I was in during high school

[louwisa1962]

This is based on an old film from the end of the 60 or beginning of the 70, but a great song !!And lovely art !!

[mireah]

this is based on the poem by edgar allen poe first published in January 1845. But still, non the less, a brilliant song!

[Armogeddonking]

This is awsome, i'v never heard anything like this, its bazzar but yet you just want to keep listening to it, its ..well amazing

[garyfromthebeach]

im digging this right here,

[slagdraggin1313]

F'n COOL!!

[ozzymandi]

Great song from a great album by a brilliant group .

Fantastic images

Thanks for your post

[mechanicx1578]

who is this band group and album?

[handmiadenofgod]

According to the description: Group-The Alan Parsons Project

Album- Tales of Mistery and Imagination , Edgar Allan Poe

I'm going to check this album out too :)

[Hendo56]

It's probably before your time. The Alan Parsons Project was popular in the late 70s - early 80s. I had this album and their "I, Robot" on vinyl records. "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" was based on Poe's book of the same title.

[handmiadenofgod]

Yeah, that's certainly before my time, but I want to hear more from them none the less.

[Hendo56]

Consider it "classic music". :)

[mireah]

Good for you. I was a tot when this came out, and a young girl when pyramid came out, my other fav of theirs. This remains one of my favourite songs, I'm not sure if it's the melody or the singing!

[shaggydowah]

I just want a few good tokes

[zegypsysuckedgenie]

I want to take acid and watch this. Wild

[imwithnoone]

good idea, ill join u

[Eoinda]

I love the raven and this song is fantastic!

[ItsLenaBetchez]

i adore Poe :]

[stickyman16]

poe i so cool and this is a very good song

[rasberry01]

-_-

[mkanantia]

I love poe's writting...!

[xyztokyo]

one of the best app song

[nssteve1979]

Poe was such a tormented man. He authored this poem while his beloved wife Virginia was dying from consumption(tuberculosis) around 1847..

[Weirdgus]

wow I didn't know that,that's some messed up sh!t right there O.o

[babarshaikhx]

WTF!!

[ClubpenguinDrawings]

Has anyone found out about who the Poe Toaster is yet?

[byrd1beverly]

They all have different songs on them.

[gzzrico]

Pyramid is very good too (Voyager. the eagle...,in the lap of the gods,)

[Aqualung1989]

tales of mystery and imagination is, in my opinion, the best alan parsons project album. it's the first one i had, and i loved it, so i decided to buy more. eye in the sky is also good, but, all in all, the following CDs I bought dissapointed me.

[nssteve1979]

I Agree,With "I ROBOT" a close 2nd!

[tamarillus]

Very great pictures to this perfect music of AAP. Who is the artist of this Art? It´s a mixture of M.C.Escher and Rene Magritte, isn´t it?

Thanks for anser to tamarillusataoldotcom

[wolfman19892]

I do believe the pictures in the bigining that make no sence at all but look kinda nice ar fractal works its basicly mathematical formulas put together in pretty compicated equasions to make something with electrical and magnetical forces represented by a computerscrean , you can't really call it art , it't more like good looking math

[xDanaKalerx]

we had to read this for English 7! its good!

[theannoyingdogpoo]

Who was Edgar Allan Poo?

[bananalord12]

Its poe and an excilent poet who had a craptasic life. Mom died Dad died wife died from the same desease and thats why you hear all this drepressing and suppenceful poems.

[miyavi401]

Bio:

His father left him, his mother died of Tiburculousis. He lived with the allens, a wealthy family. Mrs. Alln Died of tiburculousis as well, and Poewas now living with his aunt. He fell in love with his cousin (She was 13, he was 28) and then she died of tiburculousis. He was very poor by tis point and wrote the masque of the red death that showe his hatred for the illness and how he couldn't hide from death. He also wtore the raven to exprss his depression. His death at 40 was unknown.

[TheCanadianPrairies]

AWESOME SONG. A great song about a great writer. :)

[freeknotgeek]

awesome

[Arkonias]

i think you should've actually had a raven image, as compared to twisy (yet trippy and fun) rainbow designs.

[sarahewright9]

i feel high...

[phepple]

The music on The Raven is played by the band Ambrosia. Alan

Parsons mixed Ambrosia's classic first album and produced the second Somewhere I've Never Travelled.

[sonrisesonceagain]

Prince of Peace; Prince of War; quoth the raven; Forevermore - (last word here is the last two words from Time; another great song from the project); a concept within a concept; APP rules !

[chriskattan]

This video is really amazing.

[pugsley0134]

My step father just told me about The Alan Parsons Project. I just got Tales, Mysteries, and Imagination from Limewire. I couldn't find that one on here, but this video rocks!!! Thanks and Take Care Mikey/PA

[Arkonias]

i think you mean "Tales of Mystery and Imagination" the title of Alan Parsons's Edgar Allen Poe concept album, not an actual song itself. The Raven is from said album

[RavenClaws30]

way too cool. love it.

[FreeYourMind818]

poe was a genius of perception - just wish we had talent like him around on media today but its full of no talents like tom clancy lolllllmao oh brother

[CoAAC]

Wonderful, each picture and texture change made my eyes widen, and to top it off the music alone was something I am happy I did not miss.

[pompomcutie]

woah woah woah thats my schools name well im in middle school now

[Dewoor]

Remove the fckin colour change effect!! This is a rape of art!

[bbchinsmaa]

A sight to behold....truly!

[patroncho]

y el cuervo nuncase fue, aun sigue posado en el pálido busto de pala y mi alma en el fondo de su sombra no podrá librase, NUNCA MÁS

[sarahewright9]

WOW. beyond cool. i had to keep pausing the vid so i could take a closer look. this is going on my favorites.

[blaadyblaa]

this song is awsome DONT DENY IT!

[alleymog]

Fucking moron. An abuse of great writing.

[malishkalid]

facinante... :)

[odogcainemenace]

fascinating poem, it took me one week, but i memorized the whole poem verbatum a couple of months ago, and can recite it without the book to this day out of my head. one verse i'll say just to say is this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling by the grave and stern dcorum of the countenance it wore. not the least obeisance made he, not a minute stopped or stayed he, but with mien of lord or lady, perched above a bust of pallas just above my chamber door, perched and sat and nothing more

[VoxSangui]

whats the name of the song, and btw its gr8 1.

Its like mix of funky hippie and electronic.

[BlondyMary]

The song itself is called 'THE RAVEN' . It's by 'The Alan Parsons Project' ;)

[hdiylove7]

A favorite and still like to tune in.Thanks.Check out National Sunday Law by Jan Marcussen sometime. God bless!!!!!

[RedwoodTheElf]

Why is a Raven like a writing desk?

[Nestuda]

it's nevar put with the wrong end infront :]

[RedwoodTheElf]

No...the answer is "Poe wrote on both."

[Heavily9]

Kinda needless. I heared the real poem so many times that I can tell you every word from it. And I love it.

[pinnedaguyfromiowa]

You're taking it too far with the song man.

[JoseJoaquin3]

i'm starting t hate this song

[Kadoffel]

awesome! 5/5 :)

[omezer91]

I definately like the end best ... When he sings "Quote the Raven..never more" and that delicious guitar lick, I have perfect pitch myself and can hear that this song goes in an F, right?

[manoso]

Yup if my ear is rigth it is F.

Nice Work! great music.

[stevieb453]

i agree with re4freak, this is a terrible injustice to a fantastic poem. Evryone seems to be complimenting the pictures, but they are at best have obscure and vague references to the poem. If you were going to pay tribute to poe, you should have done it with sumthing of similar tone, not some psychedelic slide show.

[RE4freak0096]

you shouldn't have fucked up the raven,it was a good poem until you made this...

[Bachtin08]

retard

[Bachtin08]

has anyone ever told you that this song was performed and composed by Alan Parson's Project, not nesil?! That's why your comment means nothing - if you wish to blame the composer, blame Alan Parson and Eric Woolfson.

[tomanyasses]

i like all the art ,very good

[trollunion54]

I like the imagery

[Mrsprincess93]

i dont really like the song

sorry you all gonna hate me...:D

but the pictures....ive never seen pictures with so much fatasie and imagination in it ...they are youst ...unbeschreibar :D[i don´t know the word in english ]^^

[jeromep01]

undescribable

[TheSixxMan]

Holy cripes, amazing! Believe it or not, my band also wrote a song called "The Raven". However we didn't know APP did one already :P

[bobcot87]

Absolutely fantastic song and the artistry is incredible, they go together so brilliantly!! I love Poe and this is afitting tribute to the rea man Excellent work!!

[lookasailboat7]

this song is so awsome when your high!

[m2i0c0k8y]

extraordinaria !

[Suskybabe]

This is wickedly sick, is like the best perceptions I have ever seen in art, which is much illuminated by the color of lighting

[melancholykaren]

sickest song ever made not including rush :P:P:P:P:P:P

[0123RANDOM0123]

this was really good probably because of all the wonderful art....this was SO cool

[mychemicalsuperfer]

i love his art

[caboose365]

this is how the Baltimore ravens got their name. cause Edgar grew up in Baltimore or w/e its spelled

[alishabintsabah]

ich find dat gut.................

[grobo13]

how can the most perfect poem be abused in such a way, it's just sad T_T

[suzyqueue44]

OMG..does this bring back memories..I love it.

My BFF and I would listen to this album all the time back in the late 70's

[kortexsirvasil]

So humiliating :-(

[ponce1962]

This is the only song that Alan Parson ever sang on!

[ponce1962]

I wish more music was like this!

[carbonout]

id like to know too

[carbonout]

wonderful

[imillani]

this is great, not the smoky pictures but the drawings/paintings. I forgot the painters name but these paintings are very mysterious, so, they might not fit with the lyrics but they do with the music and with the ambient of the lyrics. Very nice idea!

[carbonout]

THIS IS GREAT!  _____

[WingedDeviless]

Im sorry but this is terrible.

For one you cant understand what the hell is being said.

Im sorry and i know that this must have taken you a wile and stuff but you cannot understand it.

And the background pictures have nothing to do with the poem itself

[stargazr1977]

I have to agree with you about the pictures...they have absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics...

[Skkaarz]

Yo buddy, this song is the foundation and inspiration to so many artists. I can clearly understand him maybe you need a hearing aid.

Open your mind, and your ears. Look outside of the box and between the lines.

[RavenTheDark25]

very sorry but i agree with WingedDeviless... this has nothing what so ever to do with the poem...altho i do like the pictures...

[Bokii1331]

I also agree with WingedDeviless... Personally, I find that poetry of such immortal status shouldn't ever enter the music industry. Not to mention, as was said, the pictures make no since whatsoever in the context of the poem, much less in the allegorical since.

[twinnitwo]

It's sense not since.

[Bokii1331]

Why don't you try taking on the logic instead of the spelling, huh?or is logic not in the cards for you?

[twinnitwo]

How do you know I didn't take on the logic? I was merely pointing out a linguistic error. Since cannot logically mean or represent sense so you were the one who didn't have "logic" on the cards.

Stop being touchy, it wasn't a personal attack on you, employers and so on will discriminate against you if you can't spell basic words.

Why are people so touchy on the internet???

[Bokii1331]

For starters, it's IN the cards...if you're going to use a sating use it properly, especially when it was just used and you have a point of reference.

Second, now you're making the claim that I can't spell basic words because you saw one typo in a structure of 44(I think) words.

And third, you don't know what I take personally and what I don't, so how can you state what is and is not a personal attack on me?

[twinnitwo]

You spelt sense wrongly twice which implied to me that you didn't know the actual spelling. And you were quite far off from being a typo, if you'd put "senes" instead of sense I wouldn't have bothered.

I don't know what a sating use is. I have only ever heard "on the cards" but I am probably from a different part of the english speaking world from you.

It wasn't meant as a personal attack so get over yourself and chill out.

[hardmettla]

Pretty Cool!

[ja3t]

Can anybody tell me how AP created this album(Tales of Mystery and Imagination by E A Poe) out of Poe's work? It is so unbelievable how this work was written, there's gotta be an underlying story behind it!

[famimi]

Happy to find the Alan Parson's Project here, I was looking for it! Thanks :-)

And really very cool pictures...

And people, ever hear of the effect of contrasts? Classic material put into a new context, I think it's great.

[maze1searcher]

I couldn't agree with famimi response more.

[devlikin88]

God... it's like putting a Beethoven song as a truckers horn... sad

[knepala]

doesn't have to much to do with edgard's poem though.

I expected the poem in animation form.
