Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Twelve.O.One's song "The Raven" tell a story of a casual fling between two people who meet at a club. The first verse describes the physical attraction the man has for the woman, acknowledging her beauty but also recognizing that she's not someone he wants a serious relationship with. The second verse delves deeper into their encounter, with the singer revealing that they hooked up again the following week after taking Molly. Despite their sexual chemistry, the singer doesn't want anything more than a casual fling, putting the woman in the friend zone and attempting to cut her off when she becomes too clingy.

Overall, the song seems to be about the thrill and excitement of meeting someone new and engaging in a short-lived fling. The lyrics reflect the fleeting nature of the relationship and the lack of commitment between the two people involved. The singer is aware of the physical appeal of the woman but is not interested in anything more serious.

EDGAR ALLAN POE & NOW !!
One of America’s most famous writers
Was born in Boston, January of 1809.
Both his parents were failing actors
And his father was drunk most the time.

In 1810 Edgar’s dad disappeared
His mother died soon after.
A childless couple took him in
Raising him with love and laughter.

Edgar had a Negro nurse
Who brought him to her quarters.
There he listened to ghost stories
Far beyond earthly borders.

The strange tales he later wrote
May have come from her inspiration.
The words she used to describe death
Gave Poe his taste for sensation.

The Allan’s moved to England
Where Poe attended boarding schools.
There’s no doubt his time spent there
Sharpened his skills as tools.

Returning to Richmond and back in school
He began to compose new verse.
Heavy debts forced him to leave college
As his life took a turn for the worse.

Poe caught a ride on a coal barge to Boston
Where he was unable to find employment.
A young printer agreed to publish his poems
Giving him hope and enjoyment.

Penniless, Poe enlisted in the army
And was accepted to West Point in 29.
Poe couldn’t stand not being a writer
Self-imposing his dismissal from The Line.

Afterward he became an editor and critic
And married his cousin who was thirteen.
Six years later he discovered she was dying
Suffering once more the unforeseen.

He went through periods of insanity
Caused by grieving and functional fall.
He smoked opium and drank too much
Till at his doorstep death would call.

Edgar Allan Poe the master of verse
Still lives in our hearts today
Famous for The Raven and other great works
May his soul rest in peace we pray.

THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART !

To the people who say the reader lacks emotion and "flair"...I'd say the lack of flair is what makes this reading so powerful. I literally felt this man's anguish, despair, and at the beginning of the poem, to me, there was such an exhausted note in his voice that worked perfectly. This Ving Rhames sound-alike guy did awesome to me. Just my opinion, let's not hate on each other's opinions. Let's just respect great writing and oratory skills

Poe’s poetry must be read aloud to be fully appreciated because he was the most musical of poets. Poe was a brilliant literary critic and he was a great admirer of the poetry of Alfred Lord Tennyson - he praised Tennyson’s wonderful musicality. Poe was a literary genius who has been badly treated by American literary critics. Baudelaire and the French recognized his genius. His portrait betrays the ravages of alcoholism. The death of his young wife that inspired The Raven sent him into despair but from his despair he created this work of genius.

Thank you Felipe and Black for your suggestions. I did open/listen to the Wayne John version of the Raven (the Christopher version I had listened to before). I concluded that just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the beauty of the sound of "performed" poetry is in the ear of the listener.
Unfortunately, neither Wayne nor Christopher elicited in me the same emotional response as Morris' delivery which I am not embarrassed to confess that it brought me to tears. But, hey, that's only me.
Be well and well "poemed," my friends.

Aside from loving everything Edgar Allan Poe ever wrote, The Raven holds a special place in my heart. When I was in eighth grade, and I am 65 years old now, I memorized this poem for my English class because my teacher didn’t think I could do it. He told me if I could memorize the entire poem and recite it in front of the class I would never have to take another test for the rest of the year in English class. It took me two months at that age to memorize it, but I did it! Ever since then I have never forgotten this poem!

Christopher Lee's is solidly in the top 3, but to me, Christopher Walken is still "The Iron Raven", i.e., the one to beat.

In his reading, he's not just reciting a poem, he's telling a *story*. More than any other reading I've found so far (and I've looked), his conveys the emotional state of the narrator at each stage of the story. I'd thought I understood the poem already, but nobody else has so effectively made me feel like I understood it from the writer's point of view.

Hauntingly beautiful. For the few who have never ventured beyond Poe's Raven I can highly recommend the even darker and sadder Ulalume.

Thats a lie! The ravens went back in time and showed their awesome football skills and the fear induced by said skills caused poe to immortalize them in writing!

Edgar Allan Poe was also a musician. Some of my works you might recognize as Mozart, Bach, Beethoven or (with lyrics) Dream Theater, one of my favorite songs currently that I recorded is Achilles Come Down, by the way, I was Edgar Allan Poe. I wrote the Edgar Allan Poe book in my own blood.

This is a masterpiece! The best reading of The Raven. I had never read the poem but I now understand the hype. We all need more content like this!

@CalamitousJonathan

It won't happen, the woman that inspired it out of me in our encounters hates me. I did too many unforgivable things to her and thus I stopped writing. Because she was always what inspired me to. To try to create a lasting legacy so everyone would know Lenore is the greatest sword fighter the world ever knew. Lenore still hasn't realized, she was right long before she walked out of my house and left me heartbroken knowing she wouldn't be back. But the second time, the heart break wasn't from a sword. Just the knowledge she wanted me to suffer, because she thought I wasn't in love with her already.

The best part about this poem aside from your reading, is that ravens are smart, it could both speak the word and understand its meaning. I mean it's not such a good thing for the character in the poem, the thought that he will never see his Lenore again, or be rid of the raven who is only tormenting him with that word and its presence, but it's cool to think it knows what it's doing and causes no end to the goosebumps and shivers I get when really letting the setting of the poem sink in and that is what October is about, spooky stuff.
