John Keats- Ode to a Nightingale

[CrystallyMe]

The English student within me applauds him. The fan girl within me says "Take me, now!"

[Gleek312]

Ahh, I could fall asleep to this voice every night <3 :')

[Gleek312]

I don't know what he's talking about but it sounds AMAZING. <3

[thehighlandsarealive]

Dammit Cumberbatch. I was quite happy and secure in my masculinity. But oh no, you had to come along with your incredible voice and strangely hypnotising features. And now I have a man-crush. Fie on you Cumberbatch! AND NOW I'M SAYING WORDS LIKE FIE! All is lost; my centre cannot hold.

[walksindreams]

Wow, his voice makes this poem truly magical.

[bsara1000]

You had me at "my".

[BaronessStrange]

I better keep to myself what his voice does to me.pleeease benedict...have some respect for our lady parts....

[camcam2908]

ok. why. I mean,WHY. seriously.

[Lumis15]

when i pressed play button and heard his voice my heart stopped for a moment. GOD, his voice TOOK MY PULSE...and my pants.

[hahn13345]

this guy is a super freak

[desdemona42]

I just want to have sex with him now. A LOT!!!

[TsukiVina]

Oh my...



[Hessianoct]

SMAUG!

[misssyndrome]

I could have sworn I was wearing pants 5 minutes ago.

[EllenRebecca3]

3:43 "While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad in such an ecstacy" You have no idea, Benedict! :-)

[greyxgardens]

Leave me alone to die slowly orchestrated softly by the sound of his voice.

[TheSnollygoster]

Hear that? That's the sound of my coherent thoughts, leaving my brain.

[SunshineMayflower]

His voice is porn.

[lesleypaul59]

... 10 points to reading ! but music do not belong to poetry ! LES

[0306babylove]

perfection.

[lillagah]

just going to lay on my bed in a benedict coma.

not complaining.

[wangchcarol]

[bluefoxy22]

Omg I`m speachlesss right now,that work is out of this wolrd, Thank you Mr Benedict Cumberbatch you are doing it right, I agree, you deserve a Bafta and my pants!!!

[JamieSyn96]

Eargams

[omgaliowns]

i may just have to like, download this and play it to go to sleep to. oh that'd be beautiful.

[XLadyClaireX]

Astonishingly beautifully read. He has a voice like melting chocolate on the tongue and liquid heaven in the ears.....

[ouiseylou]

Good grief.

[MsQjoe]

This is the greatest thing, possibly ever.

[SuoBella]

oh...my...goodness...John Keats AND his voice.....*faint*

[Lyserg93]

I've just read this for my literature subject and when I told my teacher Benedict read this he told me that if I put the reason because Benedict read Ode to a nightingale, he would give me a better mark. Here comes Benedict Cumberbatch saving my day again.

[kayealfresco]

It couldn't be read with more conviction. I love this reading and how it interprets the poem so brilliantly. I wish he could do a live reading, I'd give all I have to hear it once.

[niebells]

i'm.. speechless

[broadwaysweetie]

This is AMAZING!!! Where did you get it?

[TARDISblue10]

You need to stop it. Stop being so bloody perfect.

[triligyblood]

I want this on my ipod

[DanaPattison]

I think I just got pregnant...

[ninabigoloni]

Dear Mr. Cumberbatch,

my bed now awaits you.

[piasauevey]

Benedict reading my favourite poem. How am I meant to work now?!

[katekepsel]

Holy crap. Gah...

[Caris4479]

OMG... I want to make love with his voice.

[masmolando]

Oh, that second 'forlorn'... I swear it almost made me moan...

[thisbitterlife]

Ecstasy.

[phobos90tao]

UNF.

[Betti255]

Excellent!

[louiselusen]

How can I be totally relaxed in my entire body, but my heart is beating like crazy!?

[viennalx]

thank you so much!!!!!

[yellow1980daisy]

I have to say I'm loving all these comments, it's like you all are reading my mind

[bethiri]

Ooo, more voice porn. Thanks!

[juanchochirri]

jajajaja nada que hacer lo amas chopinesprit!!!!!!

[conantat1]

Plus, he says my name @ 4:20....I love this poem. :D

[conantat1]

Well, if I wasn't completely done for before this did it. Eargasm. Pure delight.

[Kavanaugh]

Bought this on iTunes before I listened to it here, and I swear to God he actually made me moan by the end. I've always had a thing for lovely voices but his is ridiculously gorgeous ... Pure aural sex.

[LufflesMrMercury]

@Kavanaugh I tried looking for it on ITunes, but couldn't find it. I live in the US, though, so maybe it isn't available through that store(?) :/

[Kavanaugh]

@LufflesMrMercury I'm not sure - I'm in the UK though. It's on an album called 'Words For You (The Next Chapter)', under Spoken Word, not Audiobook, and there are a few more poems he reads there too. This is my favourite. :-) I do hope it's not UK only though, I hadn't realised a game he voiced (called the Nightjar, which is free and amazing) is UK only, but I wouldn't expect this to be.

[LufflesMrMercury]

@Kavanaugh Ooh, I found it! Didn't think it was there at first...when I put in the title of the album, it just came up with religious audiobooks (typical) but after some cursing and typing in "spoken word" in the search bar, success! This makes me so happy, thanks so much! <3

[LufflesMrMercury]

@LufflesMrMercury Oh wait, got too excited. Turns out they only have the first one, not the one with Ben. Gah! Well, I guess I can buy it online.

[xIbaX]

I have no idea what he just said but I like it

[MorgaineNimue]

Fuck you his voice needs a BAFTA!

[catjulz]

Thank you for this! It was incredible!

[Inarikasugawa]

That one time I forgot how to breathe.

[unicitu]

*orgasm*



[wtfjader]

If I could put your voice in a bottle I will wear it as a necklace near my heart.

[DreamingUPReality]

Oh God...his voice...

[BeckyRoo100]

the way he says 'forlorn' the second time.... I am speechless

[OpportunityStrikes]

Benedict Cumberbatch > my English teacher. I nearly fell asleep when she read it out loud. But this. THIS. Is just beautiful.

"Jaguar hiding in a cello," indeed!

[klburrell]

@OpportunityStrikes i think i would have enjoyed English a hell of a lot more if he was my teacher, although i don't think i would be able to concentrate

[sunshinekoala]

there go my pants

[conantat1]

@sunshinekoala ...again.

[niecey101]

@sunshinekoala Fuck sake and there goes mine...

[AngieVeep]

just studying for my english literature exam. I love you Benedict. You´ve made it so easier.

[JawnWatson]

THIS is perfection.

[rickperryofficial]

why? why? WHY?

[klburrell]

oooooh my heart aches, his voice is delicious

[jaebabedav]

hooooly shit

[glyndiesel27]

I think I am going to melt. his voice, my god, literally stunning, and strangely soothing

[Anitheartist19]

Ah, I can't understand anything! Really, trying to concentrate what he is telling but in vain. His Voice is killing me.

[Samuraii17]

...How is his voice even real? GUH!

[stayathotelsplendide]

his voice HIS VOICE oh my god reading poetry. As soon as he said, "My heart," I involuntarily drew in the longest breath.

[Killizable]

@stayathotelsplendide me too!AAAAAH

[siggy1001001]

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

[sophloz]

Well, um, this certainly would have done down mighty well when I studied this poem for A Level English. Now, simply, Benedict reading John Keats, just get in my bed already Benedict and read me more Keats,

[Twihard12LostForever]

Nrgh... I have lost the ability to Gnh. Hnngggggg Unf. And the rest is silence.

[beckylikescats]

[magiciangirl8998]

[siggy1001001]

[CreamPuffs007]

[SophieDefriend]

[Maiahee223]

Oh dear GOD, I'm actually melting. His voice... 

[indigo321]

....Throw your boobs in the air if you want some Cumberlovin'. Jesus Christ.

[xprincessfluffyx]

Thank you. All I can say is...... Oh, God, thank you.

[yankeeangel26]

Mmmm, I could listen to that voice forever.

[POET369]

My God, I do LOVE his voice <3

[marinanat1993]

Woah... never in a million years did I expect that. I'm all tingly...

[Ryxal]

Want to see a cool trick? Press play and watch your panties disappear.

[Spirkpower91]

Remember 5 minutes and 36 seconds ago when I had ovaries?

[nnannonn1]

*le faints* leads to *le dead*

[souleaterlover11]

I would have you right here on this table until you begged for mercy twice.

[Sn0wButterfly]

@souleaterlover11 I've never begged for mercy in my life.

[souleaterlover11]

@Sn0wButterfly Twice.

[ouiseylou]

@souleaterlover11 Hamish!

[ZoieGale]

Oh my word, this man....... <3

[lulatt]

the awkward moment when he starts speaking and your overies explode because his voice is just that perfect...

[SilaVendethiel]

@lulatt I think mine exploded twice.

[EvenstarEllessar]

Oh God! I could fall asleep to his beautiful voice. *sighes* But wow! My favourite poem EVER, read by the most wonderful man, set to Samuel Barber's "Adagio For Strings" yes? Oh GOD!! The most perfect, perfect trio! xoxox

[theblackestdove]

Can we make him do audiobooks?

[souleaterlover11]

@theblackestdove No, we can't, because then my ovaries would never be safe again.

[EllaKatrinCharlie]

i could fall asleep to his voice.

[GlassehDanse]

holy

crap

i can't breathe someone hold me

[ChibiGaara21]

m-my heart.... it's melting!

[desdemona42]

When I hear this, I have visions of him reading this to me under a tree in summer with my head on his lap, drifting off to sleep......such a beautiful, mellifluous voice!!!

[yellow1980daisy]

@desdemona42 I have that dream too

[LivvyWhispering]

Oh.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­..............my kneeeeeeees are reduced to water..........guess I'll be listening to it again.....and again......and again.....and agaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiin

[OmgRockOut]

I WILL FIND THE PERSON WHO DISLIKED THIS AND HUNT THEM DOWN AND. END. THEM.

[conantat1]

@OmgRockOut Well, it's 4 now and they won't hear you coming because they're deaf.

[LufflesMrMercury]

@OmgRockOut Will you turn them into shoes? ;p

[OmgRockOut]

@LufflesMrMercury I.WILL.SSSSSSSKIN. THEM. O.o

[alyemenia]

Thanks for this, amazing

[jajud13]

How is such perfection allowed to exist? 

[fortunesfool17]

Jaguar in a cello indeed. Good sir, congratulations on your face and voice. You win.

[DamnFineFilly]

[colleenlikestoparty]

His voice is just so... unfff

[bethefriend]

Awwwwwwwesome.

[myRincon]

[ILoveMack4Life]

.You know. If you put your laptop or speakers to your ear. While your laying in bed. Close your eyes. And play 'Ode to a Nightingale' read by Benny Cumberbatch. ... You immeadiatly melt. And you can trick your mind into thinking that childish yet sexy hunk of man is right next to you. Sigh. I swear. I'm not obsessed. Lolwhut.

[gravelinablender]

GOOD GOD YOU HEAVENLY MAN, YOU.

YOU HEAVENLY UPLOADER YOU.

[0306babylove]

How has this video not 10000000 hits?

[songyeep]

Cumberbatch. Keats. Mahler. My life is complete.

[soominhan]

@IzDiaries i hope we could so

@_€

[IzDiaries]

Can we bottle his voice and market it?

[TeeGeeFan]

OMG that voice...

[EdoKun519]

What even are ovaries.

[aibanez123]

Oh my god.

Forlon.

FOR.LORN.

HHNNNNNNNNNGG.

[emjean14]

I will listen to this every night before I go to sleep. I will I will.

[happynessish]

Oh god, his voice...

[jmercedesd]

I think I just found a new audio drug. Good lord, that voice.... @.@

[Emlief]

Amid the growing trees I listen, in feary lands forlorn. Thy voice brings me in such an extasy!

[InYourEmma]

Keats&Cumberbatch

my heart.

fangirl overload.

[xXWeGotCharacterXx]

@littlebookworm76 You are very welcome. :)

[girlwithaharp]

Keats and Benedict... could there be a more heavenly match?

[jessgrog]

HNNNNNNNGG BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH

[xKeepCalmAndCarryOnx]

Can I marry this video? Actually no can I marry this man??! I can't even describe what his voice does to me, Benedict reading poetry should not be legal... if anyone needs me I'll be hyperventilating in the corner 

[Kirra222]

Oh my.... I just can't look right in to his eyes.... Like they're eating me alive....

[Poelilith]

Good God, I've gone all wobbly.

[SpeechlessHeroine]

i mean, I love poetry :D

[flithyharry]

Yeeees Benedict Cumberbatch
