  • Top comments are crazy!! You get the emotion so much better from nearly any poem by reading them slowly.

  • Poe is amazing

  • I'm directly related to Edgar Allen Poe! No joke! And I'm also doing a song that's based of this poem! :)

  • Outstanding reading!

  • the marching band that I'm helping is doing this for their field show this year.

  • i like reading this with a friend then halfway through my line she starts, we go on like that and it gives you the feeling of insanity.

  • I think that's Vincent Price reading

    He's okay

    Christopher Walken is better

  • This is too slow in my mind. I read it in a more frenetic rhythm. My way emphasizes the neuroticism. This is lame.

  • the info lmao

  • my choir is singing this song :)

  • my choir is singing this!!!! :)

  • we are doing an oral analysses on this

  • we are singing this in chorus, but the jack skellington version

  • my choir is singing this

  • my chior is singing this :)

  • Very very nice. Thanks for posting.

  • I'm singing this song for all county

  • Thank You this was lovely, the slower pace allows you to hear the wonderful, rhythm of the words. Beautiful.

  • i like my way better...

  • I wanted to hear how someone else heard the poem when they read it, but I have to say, I like it my way much better =P

    I imagine it to be much faster! C'mon, it's called 'Bells' for a reason, get come melody in there!!

  • annabells: yeah you're right, I've heard that too. ^ ^

  • omfg!!! i luv this!!!

  • i'm doing this song in chorus

  • me 2

  • mee too

  • I preform it over twice as fast, and It sounds so much more rhythmic and crisp. It's not meant to be this slow as far as I'm concerned.

  • true, very true! I've recited it aloud at a crazed speed, and it sounds so much better! Very rythmical.

  • Decent effort considering the readers don't really know the poem. Some site posted a typo in this poem which has been picked up over and over again, until now it even appears in this youtube.

    This is in the Golden Bells stanza:

    How they ring out their delight!

    From the molten-golden notes,

    And an in tune,

    The correct words to the last line are:

    And all in tune.

    Typo doesn't even make sense, yet people keep copying it and attributing it to the master EAP. Strange, isn't it?

  • Ohhh! I have to sing this song for chorus at school!

  • I need to get a video of my english teacher doing 'The Bells.' He is amazing...

    This reading is horrid.

  • ...ive heard it better, though its still my favorite

  • Always my favorite poem. It could be better read, though. This is overdone.

  • ....

  • weak, I've heard better readings.

    (there needs to be anger and fury in the third stanza)

  • fun, audio version in my pc ;)

  • nice reading
