This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren "Cocteau Twins"

Stunning version.

Always adored Liz Frazer's voice.

this went so well with texas chainsaw

For those who have only heard this version of the song via the film "The Lovely Bones", it was written by Tim Buckley (father of Jeff Buckley) in the mid 1960's. But don't worry - this is still the best version!

haunting..
this song is so beautiful and true
wen i looked at the movie..it reminded me to enjoy wut yuuh have in front of yuuh
wen tht 6 year old held onto susie
susie felt alive and well even though she was..

I was born lucky ! I'm Scottish and I heard Liz Fraser with TCT and TMC and later solo. Sadly she is happily married now and only her family hear her voice. LIz could sing a recipe and it would break your heart in two. When i jump the bank and shoal of time; this will be playing.

"Jump the bank and Shoal of time...." Lovely.

I am American....interested in learning Gaelic....but......I doubt I will achieve it...no matter how hard I try.

But that phrase....Jumping the bank....I don't know if it's Gaelic or not.....but it pulls me and renews my efforts to learn Gaelic.....I am an American....and when I see my homeland...it pulls me as if I were the moon.

yes, indeed it was in the TEXAS chainsaw massacre....=]

@chubbylegend Always said I would have them play Cico Buff at my funeral. I have listened to it since 1988. I listened to Song to the siren even before that but back then didn't know it was the same person.

i love this song!!! first time i hear it in Lovely Bones! since then i keep listening ....
