| About Annabel (lee) and Richard E ~ by the sea |
The power of peace. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's renowned poem of untimely death, Annabel (lee) muses on the refrain 'in a kingdom by the sea...' as she whispers from beneath the currents, 'I shall never leave you'. The duo project, from Annabel (lee) and Richard E, invokes the haunting classicism of Claude Debussy and Erik Satie, intermingled with the quiet folklore of Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell, drenched with the classic jazz of Miles Davis and Billie Holiday.
Finding one's true voice can take what feels like centuries, although well worth the wait. Is it more appropriate' for jazz, classical, folk, or some mysterious type of cabaret? The answer lies perhaps somewhere in the midst. From the depths of the symphonic to the intimacies of the acoustic, Annabel (lee) proves that minimum can be maximum with melancholy magic.
"don't go far off, not even for a day, because-because i don't know how to say it: a day is long and i will be waiting for you, as in an empty station when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep...don't leave me, even for an hour, because then the little drops of anguish will all run together, the smoke that roams looking for a home will drift into me, choking my lost heart...Oh, may your silhouette never dissolve on the beach; may your eyelids never flutter into the empty distance...don't leave me for a second, my dearest, because in that moment you'll have gone so far i'll wander mazily over all the earth, asking, 'will you come back? will you leave me here, dying?'"...pablo neruda
