I think he has captured the thoughts and feelings of Poe. I think that if Poe himself read this to us, he would have done it much the same. Over the top...na, just as if it were heard directly from the lips of the terror filled subject of the story. Masterful work.
sorry, but for me this is a little over the top.plus, he actually blows the line at least once. it's 'what thereat is' not ' what there it is'. his reading blows the rhyme. moreover, 'nepenthe' is pronounced ne-penth-ee (from greek). rhyme shot again. i'm also going to disagree with another earlier comment; i thought the music excellent.
Try memorizing it and playing it with real emotion(and without the background music and voice echo effect)
Poe himself said the Raven stood for "Mournful and never ending remembrance"...what about mourning a lost loved one that you long to see again is hard to play?
Less drama and more honest emotion would suit the piece much better.
I have recited this poem every day since 1980. I just uploaded my interpritation of The Raven with no music and only a touch of reverb. Please let me know what you think of our effort.
It's a great poem to get so carried away on, getting into the 'theatrical' aspects of Poe's writing, especially the poetry, is very interesting, especially this narrative poem.
I mean Mark Marquis no disrespect but the music was REALLY distracting here.

Less dramatics and more true passion would do you well.
