What in the what?

A "balm" is some kind of old-timey medicine, and "Gilead" is a region in the Old Testament world. This is an allusion to some Bible verse, I suspect this song might be more well-known than the original text?

Is there?

I mean according to this song unequivocally yes, but Poe seems to think "Nevermore."

How do you pronounce "balm"?


In my accent kind of like "bomb," which leads to some unfortunate innuendos when you consider the high levels of violence in the Middle East. :/

Btw I've finally shared the link to this place, so for those of you just joining us, hello :)
