Elderado - Edgar Allan Poe
It's with excitement that I reveal a new creative direction of putting Edgar Allan Poe's creative works to music.
A lesser known poem, I've chosen, as it goes quite well with a tune I had already composed. The concept of the tune as being some sort of "Adventure Song" goes quite well with the theme. I must admit, that in analyzing the rhythm of the poem and the meaning of the words, it's left an indelible mark in my soul.
I believe if you study poetry with greater detail, as happens when attempting to write music for it, you appreciate and understand the authors intent, just a bit more.
Eldorado
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old—
This knight so bold—
And o’er his heart a shadow—
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow—
‘Shadow,’ said he,
‘Where can it be—
This land of Eldorado?’
‘Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,’
The shade replied,—
‘If you seek for Eldorado!’

Angry Woman, Broken Table, Bad Record Companies
What a strange week. There were some lady troubles, broken glass table, piercing screams, big mouth and a cold shoulder... and record companies do NOT have you in their best interest. Stay away from the one's offering you coffee and
Also, 4chan is an unreliable source for anything! So you n00bs can stop thinking you found unique and true things there. There are no special snowflakes, there are no mysteries to solve. Solve the mystery of finding out what you will do with the rest of your life! Losers!
