Susheela Raman "A song to a siren"

[hvn81]

Ivri Lider has a beautiful cover of this song.

[nishaanned]

oh this is by far the best cover of this I've heard, aside from the version from Candy ... I love how she's done the phrasing almost exactly like Tim's. Makes the song.

[nori41haga]

@nishaanned you obviously haven't heard this mortal coils version

[nishaanned]

@nori41haga: actually I have. I've listened to almost every version and that was one of the first I found, if not the. And as much as I love Liz Fraser's work with Peter Gabriel, her phrasing and melodic lilts on Song To The Siren are incredibly irritating. Which is why I appreciate it when the phrasing is done right.

[soul4tran]

I listened to the other versions of this song and this one is completely different and unique. Sounds so much better too!

[ricardovmonteiro]

A lovely version by an unique vocalist.

[ulihedi]

love it...

[zepDzen]

a siren is also a warning...

[diewolfsmutter]

women do sing to female siren. in which century do you live? ^^

[ulihedi]

@diewolfsmutter

I second this!

[mmecharlotte]

I guess a woman could sing a song about a siren, if it was a male siren. ;) Look it up, there's male versions of that mythical creature.

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

Till your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your eyes

And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me

Let me enfold you"

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

[johannaswiggett]

Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sang, "Touch me not Touch me not, come back tomorrow" Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow I'm as puzzled as a newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing: "Swim to me Swim to me, let me enfold you Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"

[fribosss]

magnifique...quelle pureté dans sa voix

[JaviLeniz]

Good good good!!!

[TheCaroline0991]

Amazing... totally different from every other version :)

[theMacvarish]

Search This mortal Coil. Seems a woman can sing it.Gosh

[walkingbear56]

Nice version but not a patch on the original.... and can a woman sing a song to a siren? Maybe?? Not sure.

Either way it lacks something somewhere. But thanks for sharing

[TurquoiseLamp]

I love this song. Susheela's version is best! Thank you! :-)

Μετά από τον σπαρακτικό τρόπο με τον οποίο τραγούδησε αυτό το τραγούδι ο Buckley και τον συναρπαστικό λυρισμό των This Mortal Coil, είναι δύσκολο να καταπιαστεί κάποιος ξανά μ' αυτό. Δεν τα πάει άσχημα η Raman.
