To the guy who didthis, you should be very, very proud of yourself. This is beautiful.

@TheClamShow01 Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that!

If I was your teacher I would give you an "A" for concept and voice, but a "D" for your final grade. The music is TOO loud. It should be slower, too, like a gentle mist of color in the background. You are reading a poem with FEELING; do it right! Don't do a half-assed production job. Ask yourself; was this the best you could do? If not, do it over, until it is your very best! Turn down the music. Do it right.

@giantflamingpenis Yes, I agree that the music is loud. Unfortunately I cannot fix it at this moment without the original project, which was lost months ago. The teacher thought it was brilliant nevertheless. And yes, at the time with few resources and a deadline, this WAS the best I could do. I had to press on with my other assignments and I still do. I thank you for the feedback, Mr. "giantflamingpenis". I suggest you consider changing your screenname, otherwise no one will take you seriously.

Who is playing the guitar? And what is the song? This is an excellent matchup of music and words. And I think the fact that the guitar overpowers the voice is both intentional and appropriate.

@mizmax the song is called Patanga by Trace Bundy. Thank you for complimenting the vid too, I really appreciate it!

Dear Conner, Such a good idea and very nicely done. My only concern was that you can not hear the words too well because of the guitar. Your voice was perfect and you read it well but the words are what we want to hear. But, Thank-you. It is a great poem.
