[TooCoolforschool1000]

The beauty of this song truly lies in the last two lines, when the sailor becomes the siren and longs for someone to hold

[maccio52]

DJ Ralf

[flava961]

amazing, and the fact it was on Lovely Bones, makes it so much more beautiful.

[mreman239]

I liked Elizabeth better with Cocteau Twins.

[Ezsole]

SotD - Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil.

It really is one of those days today. Forget the fact that this is effectively a love song, well rather remove that meaning - and there ya go - my song for the day. I guess I shouldn't be too worried as not that many people can figure out what she's actually singing anyway.

[foreverashcroft]

, i remember when i first heard this, on its realease, its just as haunting now, as it was then, it seemed so right , for that time, the things that were happening, its so beautiful, liz frasers voice, is so moving..

[sr50cent]

i listen this song cuz the lovely bones xD

[MalJust1989]

It's the most beautifull and moving song I've ever heard...it's from the soundtrack to "The Lost Highway".David Lynch is a talented director and,as we hear,he has a great taste.

[Moogilyhoogily]

it was in Texas chainsaw massacre first >8C

[SamllWonda]

Great to find this - thanks for posting the amazing lyrics, too... I did love some of the Cocteau Twins stuff, also love the dance versions, ie: Sunrise... Glad to see it's being revised in a current movie, as it so deserves to be heard. :)

[VmeghanV]

this song is musical poetry, look at the lyrics. :) i heard this is going to be in The Lovely Bones. if so, it fits well.

[PinkRevenge7890]

it is. it completes the scene in the movie.

i just watched the movie and it was really good. i lived this song so i looked it up :)

[ladyrastaaa]

preciosa!

[Lompebroed]

Nothing could ever get near Tim Buckley's version.

[EvaDarkShine]

brividi....

[Nicolleee0x]

[010totheteind]

Goooosee bumps all over my back and neck....amazing song :|

[aiva69]

Awesome, got goose bumps....

[weta2000nz]

Cocteau Twins ... "the voice of God" ....(80's quote)

[Maliaariadne]

The most beautiful, longing love song... makes me long for a ride in the moon.

[seanpdaly]

Think the first line is " Long to float on shipless oceans"

[gld6388]

as if! y the thumb dwn? i  love this song AND the other version!

[jamieallen1982]

Its called Sunrise by Ratty. And yes i think its better than this version. Reminds me off when i was off my face @ Passion! ha ha!

[vetteboki]

@jamieallen1982 ratty sunrise is amazing.. but cant be better then this original version

[gld6388]

i love this song!!! its amazing...but....there is a rave version which is amazing, trying to find it if ne1 can help? :-)

[tyslaj]

if think u mean Noize Suppressor - Lost S.T.F.Y but it contains only

On the floating, shipless, oceans

I did all my best to smile

'Til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me,

Let me enfold you,

Here I am, here I am

Waiting to hold you"

[gld6388]

[loubear0909]

[ktnarnia]

And it's I'm "as riddled as" the tide.

[ktnarnia]

Or "Full Sail".. but it seems like that word ends in a "P"... so I don't know..

[ktnarnia]

Lyrics - I thought it was

"Were you here when I was for sale?"

Instead of "Were you hair when I was fox?"

[hippi003]

muy buena cancion utilizada por Herores del Silencio en el tour 2007 , para la apertura de todos sus conciertos

[irisanto88]

Classic version of this song! I can't believe I bought the record nearly some 24 or so years ago. It still enchants me, even though thinking about how long it's been makes me feel old and miss the early & mid 80's music scene so much! Liz looks super cool here, too! Thank you for posting this.

[bunlandia]
