[PinkNekoPrincess]

i love this

[mirrorpeople999]

absolutely fantastic art; rather embarassed i'm not more framiliar with it

[mirrorpeople999]

k i'll try to limit this to comments that axshully make cents. there was a version of The Raven redone by Lou Reed, live, i believe in New York, with a Chinese master present...THAT is the version i am looking for, and no other

[alextheman1976]

@mirrorpeople999 The track you are looking for is on the animal sceraned album i do have it on CD i will try and upload it for you, personally i don't think it is the best version i have heard never the less still great. The chinesse master was master Ren Guang Yi (not sure the correct spelling though im sure someone will correct me)

@mirrorpeople999 >axshully

[38Avril]

Willem Dafoe on vocals

[flevosap666]

edgar allen poe + acid = fantastic.

[CableTentButterfly]

this sounds great if you listen two at the same time. so that they start from different point. feels like brain deviding. wonderful experience.

[CableTentButterfly]

great I did not like this album but now I see I was wrong. the only song I loved and everyone else did not was the first : these are the stories of edgar allen poe. GREAT SONG is that on you tube

[Kremid]

I want to hear Willem Dafoe read the original Raven. He is by far the best voice for it I've heard, but I prefer the original version :/ does anyone know if he can be heard reading the original anywhere?

[dorothea129]

Esto es ESPECTACULAR!!!! E.A. POE and LOU REED, of course, you are extraordinary persons!!!

[fleurize]

it's heaven on earth these words

[Beerlejuice]

Brilliant performance by Willem Dafoe, although it's not the original Raven poem. It's Lou Reed's version of it, allot of the lines are different then the original.

[Sputnikvi]

That was so...different. it was amazing! I'm going to buy the album now.

[CarryCatura]

beautiful...

please tell me, where have you found that pictures at 0:24; 2:20; 3:20? and where did you find that poem? i've read "the raven" and just searched it on the internet again, this seems to be a little different from what i've read..?

[alextheman1976]

i belive lou reed re wrote this classic poem and william defoe read it!! it comes from the raven by lou reed and think most of the tracks are from edger allem poes collection!! (someone may tell me diffrent) the pictures come from google but if you send me a mail in my inbox with your e-mail address i will send you the pictures!!

[alextheman1976]

it is william defoe i just put the title as lou reed as it is off lou reed the raven but many diffrent people contributed to the album which is very good!!! i have the limited addition!!! i belive lou reed re wrote the poem and wrote the music to this (not 100% sure on that though anyone!!!!) i have lou reed reading this poem from the animal secernade album i will try and get it on here soon!!

[xchotch]

poetry < music < physical things

[Sputnikvi]

Wait...you think that music is less than physical things and more than poetry? xD I'm sorry, i don't get it, and am now very curious. :-D

[evertjan27]

the voice is from willem dafoe

[Garibdos]

no, it's Lou Reed, the former bandleader of velvet underground! :)

[evertjan27]

pffff no no no, its willem dafoe look at the album cover of lou reed the raven! I have the album twice (limited and normal) and please don't tell me who lou reed is.
