Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe

[therandomexample]

Holy crap did kingdom hearts really have that bad of graphics? I forgot..

Also, I'm curious as to the perception of what the kingdom by the sea signifies.

[Silence890]

Love the music, it's from Halo CE :3

[KittehNightmare]

happy birthday, Edgar Allan Poe.

[hatetoloveyou101]

It's amazing the master of drama and suspense also loved with the heart of gold -3

[Soulsgirl13]

I really really like this poem,it's probably my favorite but him.I really liked this video too~.I love Kingdom Hearts <3

[SRXReborn]

Well made.



[JayyBiebzShawty307]

in my opinion i think that annabel lee died from the chill of the wind...

[Anime101Geek]

I got chills from this...but his poems so powerful, I wish I could write like him...

[cyty65]

I like this video it is 1 of my fav poems by Edgar Allan Poe

[NuDvide03]

DUDE!!!!!......i got chills, O.O

this is great, the medium and the voice chosen for this video were well picked

nicely done :)

[Kriticaster]

Prachtig gedicht en heel mooi voorgedragen.

Dank!

[AloneInTheDark6661]

Such beautiful voice and reading,so full of emotions and love...That's exactly how this poem should sound. Very beautiful!

[musicismysoul43v3r]

I love his writing

[ridits]

job, well done with the whole video

[lolsistas]

My name is Annabel :)

[aabrilamor]

this is one of my all time fav's by Poe

[stickmaster546]

this is the most beautiful poem i have ever read in my life :) the poet puts so much emotion into it that you can feel his pain and his loss of Annabel. The line "In her tomb by the sounding sea" just sends shivers down my spine.

[zgirlpop15]

This poem is so brilliant.! Im madly in love with all of poe's pieces.

[sketchfreak324]

U just had to do this to kingdom hearts?

[iCarly4ever239]

Oh and Kingdom Hearts is like the best game ever

[iCarly4ever239]

My teacher had read this poem today, it sad yet beautiful.

[kittensmom101]

my teacher was having us read this, i LOVE it

[SherriBear78]

lol my language arts teacher shows this video in like every one of her classes

[16mewmewberry]

i love him!!!!!!!!

[XEPICfailGAMERX]

My teacher showed us this as a poetry unit in class, it was ...... Awkward?

[XxMadMax593]

is the backround music from halo?

[issaksonasasz]

The Thespian

If you wanna know more about this poem just listen to ALESANA's album "The Emptiness" :)

[cursedvanity]

if poe were alive he'd gouge out your eye and cut you into little pieces to hide in his bedroom, thats the kind of thing he thought about doing you should go read his works instead of jacking off to little kid shit. Bet you have a picture of the dope ass disney train in your room? don't you?

[Ribonuke]

@cursedvanity For your information, sir/ma'am/condascendingly aggravating netperson, your criticism is not indeed founded upon fact. If you're going to criticize, at least be constructive, and say it YOURSELF, not from the mask of the author himself who has been dead for over 100 years.

[cursedvanity]

@Ribonuke ok

i think its frivolous to shamelessly combine the efforts of different artisans without their permission

this combination has no creative direction and does not serve to illuminate either piece

and i personally feel that using poe's work in such a way is degrading the author

im communicating the same point but hopefully thats dignified enough for you

[MeganFox822]

Is this related to alesana's song(s) Annabel?!???!?

[cursedvanity]

@MeganFox822 you are retarded go find a brian and steal it because obviously you need one, badly.

Oh i just realized your user name warned me of you stupidity so its my fault for reading you ignorant, inane comment instead of glossing over it. My apologies.

[munchlaxdaughter10]

what better way to put it with kingdom hearts kairi x sora :D

[TheBrunomarslover1]

it is so beautiful and my la teacher showed us this and made us write like 6 paragraphs about it but i still liked it

[TheVampireInDisguise]

my LA teacher showed us this in 2ncd period and as soon as i heard the voice i was like totally intrested, his voice is like so entrancing. The only bad thing about it is we have to write four paragraphs about it. But totally fun anyway

[colorfulkoolkatz]

i was wondering are the pictures from somekind of video game?

[Roxel0813]

@colorfulkoolkatz Kingdom Hearts series, their really cool, you should check them out ;3!

[L0Iers]

Very Good!! Kingdom Hearts is a really good video game too!!

[MrEvakin1]

This poem is just perfect in literally every way. How can Edgar write these amazing love poems, yet he had the most traumatic and worst life anyone could ever have. It's so sad.

but what is this, Yu Gi Oh? lol

[thekillconnection]

@MrEvakin1 You're absolutely right....

And no, it's Kingdom Hearts. BEST GAME EVER. Has a really cute story line to it.

[WarriorFrostpaw]

its beautiful...... -^_^-

[EmilayBemilayDisaray]

This is PERFECT.

The whole time I was watching this video I couldn't help to feel like Kingdom Hearts was written after this poem. Great editing, it really make the two concepts come together.

[darkwolves1993]

Edgar Allan Poe is one of the greatest writers to live.... I love all his work its something no other Writer could dare to compair... If anyone tryed to say there work is better then his..... They are nuts....

[lattangm]

I love him poems! <3 I also love halo and kingdom hearts! <3 Sora <3 haha

[lattangm]

I love him poems! <3

[GwendolynBalfore]

eight people sneezed and missed the like button. Try to sneeze with your eyes open please! I just know Mr. Poe is turning in his grave because of this!

[romanpr1nce]

such a beautifully sad poem...

my favourite poet.

[lycanwolfgirl]

oh my dear lord... kingdom hearts AND poe?!? i think my heart just skipped a beat...... AWESOME!

[Anabelee7]

My favorite s Poe poem, Thank you!

[Fundipppp]

i hear the halo music in the background

[lucielm]

If we gave it a score I'd say:

5/5 for the Poem

3/3 for the Reader

1/2 for the Videos

9/10 for it!

Anyway, thank you. I've watched this video 20 times in the last few days. It really helps me grasp the feel of the poem for the collage paper I'm doing on it.

[Metules]

halo music in the background ???

[Fundipppp]

@Metules yup!!

[sarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrah]

thats kairi

[luidavinci]

Great voice over. The montage is nice as well. :)

[deathos1996]

nice nice nice nice this may be one of the best videos i have see on youtube

[vagabonnija]

teehee kingdom hearts

[rara3082]

LOL, okay. No offence, I love Kingdom Hearts and I LOVE Edgar Allan Poe, but this was just a complete fail. I mean, good editing but Kingdom Hearts just didn't match it.

[Wingchance]

Absolutely brilliant way to present a classic. Edgar Allen Poe has been one of my favorite poets since I was a child, and this is undoubtedly one of his best poems. The images were on perfect timing and it was read really well too :) Definite thumbs up.

[LORDNEJI]

man i loved this good job

[phillfoote]

why do people keep crapping on a beautiful powerful poem with stupid useless music and video-let it stand on its own

[smartypants1237]

i have to memorize this poem for school. thanks for making it easier:)

[zetsu0gurl]

dude u used jack :D BOMB!

[RapTheFrappe]

can anyone tell me the BACKGROUND MUSIC?? really need it ! awesome voice btw :)

[pickassoreborn]

@RapTheFrappe One of the Halo games... not sure which.

[Sleytownmafia]

@pickassoreborn kingdomhearts

[pickassoreborn]

@Sleytownmafia Nono. Music is from Halo. I have Kingdom Hearts on PS2, so I know what it looks like...

[ContagiousRandomness]

this guy reads the poem so eerily, so emotionally, so beautifuly...

[saiorgirl8]

@ContagiousRandomness ehmagawd so right!

[teachingsucks]

What song is this? Its from Halo 2.

[HNHproductions123]

this guy is yucky.. he married his 13 year old cousin when he was 26... this poem is about her... her name is Virginia, she died of tuberculosis

[HNHproductions123]

i have to say Edger Allan Poe is a freak... we started studying him a couple days a go. he married his 13 year old cousin when he was 26 :( gross right??

[IDOG321]

the man was desperate and that's how it was back then lol

[shipofoxdeman]

dont talk shit about Edgar Allan Poe and he wasnt a freak, you wouldnt understand his art if it was spelled out for you and yes he married his cousin but he was a great man. dont condem him for something so little and common thing back then! if your just now starting to read about him then you know nothing and you have no right to judge him.

[wickedwitch222]

@shipofoxdeman

Also, he didn't start a relationship with her until she was of age.

[ThePoeticAngel]

so amazing. I get teary eyed when listening to this poem.

[ichigo450301]

kingdom hearts and poe nice combo its an amazing video this poem touches my heart like all the time i never get sick of it but it makes me cry cause i know how it feels looseing a loved one by god....

[jackjackmm]

this guy freaked me out at the end i was thinking dude sucks for you!!! :D

[budgiegirl6]

What program did you use to make the graphics. Truly beautiful.

[kerrkr12]

This is from the popular video game, Kingdom Hearts. Quite a combo with Poe, eh?

[Joldfaithful]

I believe the reader is Basil Rathbone, who did a couple of old Frankenstein movies, and played Sherlock Holmes in old movies.

[Natalusprime]

My names annabel hehe

[Arirang1989]

That has always been my favorite poem since the first time I read it as a teenager. I have read it to my English classes for more years than I care to divulge, but I never tire of this fantastic poem.

[drpepperplatypus]

im jelous of edgar. he thought of all these poems and how to write this amazingly before me.

great job(:

[Burninnation]

Very impressive

[chiibits]

i love this poem... I dont know why... and i love the person' voice reading this poem...

[hypersize23]

[RougexShadow007]

[Steelics1]

OH. Yeah. Duh.

[Steelics1]

[Steelics1]

This is the best reading of Annabel Lee I've ever heard!

[triggerxp]

[wildfiremage]
