I changed it in the song though, to a child that was a seal but was taken as a baby and was convinced into thinking it was a human, and its parents were keeping it hostage, hiding its skin, telling it the ocean was evil. The whole myth is so fascinating, I like the swimming away from the worries version too.
I kind of want to write another song about selkies, might have to use that one. Thank you
I read a book that said that they were seals who turned into women when they came out of the water, but sometimes men took them hostage and forced them to be their wives and bear their children, and if they hid their skin they could keep them there. But there would be some weird curse from the ocean on them, and if they went near the ocean they would drown.
