    That singing added a whole new dimension to the poem. I watched this over, and over, and over again. You women did a phenomenal job. One of the best poems I have heard, maybe even the best.

    "I could stay here where my eyes don't hurt much. And it don't feel like I've been looking at the sun all day long." Such beautifully painful imagery. I started balling!

    This is beautiful. Such a gripping piece.The imagery that has been created really warmed my heart with the feeling of summer, yet there was so much coldness created by the voice's pain. By the time the poem had ended, I realised that I hadn't moved, and that my eyes had been glazed over. I feel like I just watched an amazing short film.

    My English professor introduced me to this poem. And I absolutely love it ! It not only embodies emotional, pain and hurt, but for me it coincides hope. That although a person may not be quote on quote beautiful in the sense of societal or cultural standards, there is always something beautiful found in the heart and soul of a person. The musical addition to the poetry creates, dimensions to the many possibilities of interpretation. Just Amazing ! Shout out to Professor Chaney for the intro's to academic as well as cultural art !

  • @naeemjohnson2797
    @naeemjohnson2797 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    THIS!!! WOW! The performance as a whole is almost emotionally overwhelming... To me it's like the singing in the background makes the poem itself no longer a "mad poem" .. I imagine it to be somewhat how people felt when they saw/ read the end of Romeo and Juliet for the first time. The only way something so beautiful (the feeling you get from the singing) can exist, is through through tragedy....... You can't have THIS. Without THAT.

    i think your words effect people; and change them. and there is not a more beautiful thing in this world than having that ability.
