Hi, Sean.

I'm glad to hear it. I would have rather used a more mature male voice here, but I think the Anri voice has a degree of wistfulness that it brings to the song.

Using old poems for lyrics is not cheating. Many of the great songwriters use Public Domain material (and even stuff that's not in the Public Domain) - i.e., Bob Dylan for starters.

I agree - I've actually done To One In Paradise based on the the poem by Poe.

But one of my goal is to get some better writing skills, and using someone else's words won't get me there.

On the other hand, once I realized that I basically rewriting the poem, I figured that I should just commit to it and move ahead.
