I was once (1991-2 Palm Bay, FL) loved by a good-hearted young man nicknamed 'Spaz' he named this song for me knowing Styx was my all-time favorite group... sadly he killed himself (in Orlando, FL) a few months later after we broke up over him not being able to pay his car registration (I think?) His friend Chip(?) told my dad and my dad told me. I have never forgotten Spaz. He stays in my heart all ways, Lora... pooterputter@yahoo.com
I don't care what anyone says, with Lawrernce Gowan, Todd Sucherman, and Ricky this band kicks so much more ass than they used to. I really can't find anything negative to say about Styx.

SAD SAD SAD, Styx is a joke these days, a traveling jukebox that just plays the same poorly sung DeYoung songs everynight. If the dont need Dennis, why do they continue to play his songs? Because he was the heart and soul of this very average American corporate rock band that is now very well below average!!!!!!!!
HEY GUYS!!! this is JY's song...wat a song..so young and inspiring..imagine bak in the 70's "lorelli" let's live together,....brighter than the stars together..what a chick she must have been, forever..all our dreams,...love the fantasy and romanticism of this kik ass song... how gorgeous..please JY time for part 2 of this song,I want to see how things worked out.......
you ARE mistaken. James Young (who is singing the song here) co-wrote it with DDY. He has been in the band since before they got a record contract. Tommy Shaw was not ON equinox, but joined the band for the tour. Chuck still tours with them on occasion but cannot commit full time due to his illness.
in response to "jcb6437"--lawrence makes styx even better than the original-DDY could not do what he does, not even close..and larry should sing this too-why doesnt he sing this??JY does not sound good on this song..sorry JY..

I hope that you and she enjoy it more and more every time that you hear it. I never knew that JY wrote the song. Fitting that he is now singing it.

They rock but the voice loss of Denis Deyoung was huge, even if you hate him.

"Lorelei" was co-written by James Young (seen singing here) and Dennis DeYoung (original lead singer of the song).

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but there is not one band member on stage who actually recorded this song on the Equinox album.

true but when DDY would sing this song, JY would take over on keyboard. So having Gowan and JY sing, is pretty much the same thing.

Like everyone else says, this is an excellent song! Not to take anything away from JY, I think it sounds better when Dennis was on vocals.
