Edgar Allan Poe's Alone meets Tim Burton's Vincent

Alone by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)- Master of the Macabre
Read by Lila
Music Lila and Tmac
(I loved this poem so much as a child)

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.


Poe's Alone read and set to music to a re-interpretation of Tim Burton's short film Vincent.

What is first, in terms of inspiration?? The sound or the visual??

[LilaSakura]

After the words become the sound, then the sound gets a visual...

Absolutely love this.

Tim Burtons Vincent really adds a dark edge to the poem.

[MidnightJazzLover23]

Very dark. I like it. Really sets the tone for the poem =).

I have always felt closely connected with this poem....I have always felt isolated and different.
