Echoes of The Gashlycrumb Tinies

Storytime! One of my favorites is The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. I tried to cue up a Pink Floyd song to see if I could find the next "Dark Side of the Rainbow". No such luck. Maybe you have to be stoned.

I can't find the background music you speak of. :|

[groundcat]

@ysa722 it's "Echoes" from the band Pink Floyd's 1971 album "Meddle".

[groundcat]

hehehehe wat a dreaded beautiful book... where is this from?

[groundcat]

The Gashlycrumb Tinies by Edward Gorey. You can buy it as a book or it's also included in the compliation "Amphigorey"

I agree. The idea is good, but there's really no enthusiasm in the voice and it's being rushed way too fast.

[emidore]

I don't understand the point of doing the Gashlycrumb Tinies this way. The pages flip by a little too fast and it sounds like it's being recited without much thought about the content...as if the lines are just being read normally for a school assignment.

Your voice is perfect for this. Great video.

@groundcat I meant that I found the vid of them performing "Echoes", but I couldn't find the specific part of the song that you used as background music. Anyways, I don't need it anymore XD Thanks, btw.

Edward Gorey is known for his macabre, creepy and off-kilter story. Some of his stories do deal with children who die young. It's just part of his writing style. If that's your sort of thing, you'll really smile at his books. If not, best to avoid it and stick with Harlequin romances. ;D

this is a well made clip and the tune is really creepy. good job

[sweetlikehoney31]

why is that all character in the stories are children died violently???
