@@brucemurdoch6609 Yes, I missed that on my first listen. I was disappointed when I noticed the error but I still love the way the voice of the reader and the way the poem is recited in this particular video.
Frankie goes to Hollywood, welcome to the pleasure drome bought me here. I accidently made a Riff that sounded like something from the album, but exploring the sound and influences of the group to work out on the guitar how to expand this accidental Riff.
Is it possible that are minds have blocked out memories of places like Xanadu or Shangri La, places we've seen and perhaps even lived in, and it takes an opium dream to unlock those memories? Or was it just a drug induced fantasy? Just like the amount of licks to the Tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop, the world may never know.
@@ShadowOfCygnus Still listening to this when I am 17 and wondering why they don't make us do this poem in schools here, it is just written in a way that makes all of the poems we do look utterly meaningless and hollow. My thanks for this still amazingly done poem.

Best band on earth
amazing...and demonstrates Coleridge mastery and Rush's sheer talent...love Xanadu...
hands down best reading of this poem out there.
Have you heard Benedict Cumberbatch reading this?
The best poem written in the English language and an equally impressive performance.
I must agree. Neil Peart did it justice in Xanadu (one of my favorite tunes of all time)
However, it should be sunless sea, not sunlit.

Your reading made me love this poem. The ending always hurts me chills. Well done!
I've had lovely dreams of unearthly beauty, and never took drugs. You don't need drugs to think beautiful thoughts!
True although this poem really does speak to you so much if you are nodding on opiates
