>>25296800Since this is a /lit/ thread, not a /mu/ thread, we have to examine how well this reflections the poem's verse in a musical way.Schubert intertwines different motifs like the galloping hoofbeats and the elf king's lighthearted theme and the child's pleas and warnings and the father's reassurances, heightening these by their contrast which accentuates the ominous nature of the poem. He builds the urgency. In the song you posted, it seems like the urgency is always at full-throttle, which is ideal for dance club music but I don't it is an optimum reflection of the feelings and characterizations of the poem as a text
>>25296436Captain Ahab is a unique character in literature because Melville was inspired by tragic heroes like Achilles, Corionalus of Shakespeare, and Lucifer if Paradise Lost. But he said he wanted a classical hero of the working man, which had not been done before and contradicts tragic convention
Too many Iron Maiden songs
