Because I could not stop for death- Emily Dickinson

[Grandamus]

This is beautiful and very well made. You have a profound understanding of this poem, and the description of the gravestones is especially poignant with the visuals. I improvised an art song to this poem, which is available at my channel.

LOL, fail chariot:)

[cutiesoprano18]

thought this was called the chariot 

[Powerpunk2013]

Personally, I think you should have done it to a different tune.

Since it IS in ballad meter, i suggest Gilligan's Island theme

[mrbikejoy]

good imagery for the poem. like it

[ZZZdisturbedZZZ]

this video is amazing... u rock :]

[Braunik]

why pausing? :)

[brdy]

@Braunik I think her pausing adds effect and reflects the way Dickinson split the lines ("The carriage held but just ourselves / and Immortality"). MY question is: Why Evanescence? And why is the song so loud? eww

[theawkwards]

nice!

am trying to write a song version of this poem, or rather the melody /chords since the words are already there.....!

will favourite this to keep ur username etc and let ya know when i do finish my attempt, if ya like; i imagine somebody else has done a song of it before but will avoid looking for the moment....!

cheers,

keith in aberdeen.

Very well done. The images fit the poem in a modern setting. Emily Dickinson is timeless.

The part with the children always has a different version

I'm from New Hampshire and my teacher told my English class about your video. I came home and watched it and I'm quite impressed. Excellent work, soon my whole high school will be full of fans of yours. Keep up the good work.
