Cecil has set "The Bells" to music because of his great love of Poe's poetry. having already done "The Raven." He is singing here accompanied by Charley Baker on guitar and Jim Bingham on keyboard.
"The Bells" is a poem written by Edgar Alan Poe which was not published until after his death in 1849. It is perhaps best known for the repetition of the word "bells." The poem has four parts to it; each part becomes darker and darker as the poem progresses from "the jingling and the tinkling" of the bells in part 1 to the golden wedding bells of part 2 to the "shrieking" alarm bells in part 3 to the "moaning and the groaning" of the big iron bells in part 4. Poe submitted this poem to Sartain's Union Magazine three times before it was finally accepted and he was paid $15.
AMAZING!
