Annabel Lee
 
This poem sounds really cool set to music and with Stevie's vocals. Anyone know why she wanted to basically set this poem to music? Normally she would just take a few words from a story (like Running through the Garden) but this is pretty much the exact poem.

It would be so cool if this was on her next record. I am sure it would be a nightmare to get permision to do it though.

She loves Poe.

BTW - your sig. [pics are way cool.

This demo is a DOWNGRADE.

I'd much rather have lyrics written by the Nickster.

I would think that the work of Poe isn't owned by anyone and can be used and reprinted without having to get permission. Anyone know?

It's alright as a curiosity, but it's so slow-moving that it gets old quickly. If she picked up the pace, I wouldn't be opposed to it as a bonus track.

If anyone is a fan of Poe and Stevie's Annabel Lee, I highly recommend getting the CD "Closed On Account of Rabies". It's a collection of actors and musicians reading and performing Poe's works to music. Iggy Pop does The Tell-Tale Heart, Marianne Faithfull does Annabel Lee, and Debbie Harry does The City and the Sea (and it's weeeeeeeerd). It also has Christopher Walken, Jeff Buckley, Gabriel Byrne, and Diamanda Galas.

That sounds amazing. I'm adding it to my Amazon wish list.

:p

I LOVE it! I've been wanting to hear it ever since I became a fan. I remember when someone first mentioned that there was a demo for it on the BN board and I was so excited! :blob2: Literary Stevie! :D I finally downloaded it and got to hear it a few days ago (got it from MistakenLove.com) I SO want this to be tweaked and included on her next solo album! :blob2:

I listened to it once and shelved it. It sounds like I should give it another try.

Copyrighted material goes into public domain 70 years after the death of the author.

Maybe you'd get into it, too. I can't promise that, though, since it does tend to drag. That doesn't necessarily bother me, though. I remember you said once that "Bella Donna" dragged in some places, and I agree, but of course we both love it. :) But you never know. Some just rub people the wrong way. There's a ditty called "I Miss You," and y'all know my feelings so I'll shut up now. :D

Gate, did you manage to download "China Doll" yet? I think SaraRhiannon has it up now. I remember you saying you'd never heard this one before... it's probably my favorite demo...

I can sort of see her singing it to different groups of people sitting in different areas of the room where the piano is. When she says, "and I moved on" she quits looking at one and then looks at another. This is a very cool song.

I'd like to see it on an album, but I don't know how it would suit her new voice. Of course, I love both "The Tower" and "Goodbye Baby," so.......

Well, in Vegas, she did such a high and tight three part harmony during If Anyone Falls, I think she could do it.
