Christopher Walken reading The Raven, I was going to make it really visually trippy but thought Poe's image was trippy enough!! Walken has the perfect voice for this poem, one of my favorites! p.s. I did not add the guitar, this is original audio.

    Guitar sound effects are fucking annoying and distracting.

    Someone needs to stab the raven in the face with soldering iron.

    "At my chamba dooa.." I love Walken's voice. It's quite unique.

    Bravo. I got goosebumps and choked up as well; due of course to the words as well as the meaning itself. The rendering by Christopher is different, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is the sound of a Crow not a Raven, but a fine job none the less.

    Should have had Lee Marvin reading this while he was drunk. Now, THAT would be spooky. Christopher Walken and that irritating background noise I can do without.
