Alesana - Heavy Hangs The Albatross Lyrics video free download

Alesana Estrada

When I made your heart melt <3 

Tara Leggett

it's so strange that this song is based upon such a legendary piece of literature, the title 'heavy hangs the albatross' refers to the moral message in samuel taylor coleridge's 'rime of the ancient mariner', the albatross is strung over the mariner's neck, riddling him with guilt, just like the artist's guilt that riddles him for killing annabel. Notice as well that annabel and albatross both begin with an A, I just think it's amazing that one album can have so many heavy references to literature in it, edgar allan poe and samuel taylor coleridge, wow

Egsited?! Existed*

And guess what that's based off of. Annabel Lee by Edger Allan Poe. All of their albums are based off of different things. The first is based off of Greek Mythology, the second is based after Grimm Brother's tales, the third (this) is based after Annabel Lee and the fourth is based after Dante's Inferno.

I love Alesana

Its a bit vice-versa ma'am. They are influenced by literature. But I agree. That is why I love them as well! And I've never needed help to find a reason to pick up a good book. And is it really? Oh man that will be a wondrous album. And it is so much better then what other bands are doing, look at Falling in Reverse if you need proof. Ha, that band is a joke now. Nice to see someone that can head-bang with a brain. You're a odd cookie. Ma'am.

No one is ever interested about literature anymore. One of the biggest reasons why I love Alesana is because of their heavy influences on literature. Listening to them inspires me to read the books their last few albums were influenced by. I'm so excited for the new album because it's based off of A Wrinkle in Time. They are so smart to come at this approach in music.

To be honest, most kids are doing good to get out of highschool, let alone learn about anything as deep and complex as Poe. I mean, my lifting class was filled with Niki Manaje I think, and fuckin shitty rap. I had to put in headphones for 2 years of lifting. So I understand why these kids don't understand shit anymore. All the get is these cunts that call themselves artist. And get the same education I got my freshman year of highschool.

The short story also takes some elements from The Raven such as the character of The Lover.
