The song "Annabelle Lee" by Sarah Jarosz is based on a poem written by Edgar Allan Poe about a tragic love story. The narrator, a man who lived in a kingdom by the sea, fell in love with a maiden named Annabelle Lee. They were both children when they first met, but their love was strong and pure, even beyond the love of angels. However, a stormy wind blew and took Annabelle Lee away. She was locked up in a tomb by her wicked brothers, who stole her away from her lover. Despite her death, the narrator's love for her remained strong, and he still dreams of her under the moonlit sky. The song is a melancholic reflection on the power of love and the pain of loss. The narrator mourns his lost love and makes his bed near her tomb by the sea, where he can be close to her in spirit. Through the song, the listener can feel the deep emotions of the narrator and sense the tragedy of their love story.
