Die Lorelei 東方 Touhou Unplugged/Classic 186

Title: Lorelei ～eine Sage vom Rhein
Artist: Masato Kobayashi
Circle: SOUND HOLIC
Album: SOUND HOLIC MEETS TOHO ～東方的編曲音源集～
Original: もう歌しか聞こえない (Deaf to all but the Song)

So I have gotten a wide amount of requests regarding both of Mystia's themes. And I realized I haven't uploaded an arrange yet, at all, which is kinda sad of our poor chicken girl.
I have nothing against Mystia or her theme, nor do I think the song is bad at all, but then again it has never actually caught my attention very much, but that doesn't mean I don't like it.

I was listening to some of the arranges I have, which aren't that many tbh, and few of them, sadly where classical, but when I heard this I just had to upload it, since it totally captured my heart. I'll admit that it differs greatly from the original, not in melody but more in entity, what I mean that, listening to the original, I would never imagine to hear an arranges that actually sounds... like a love song almost, what I'm referring to is of course, midway through the song, it sounds almost sad, really brings a tear to your eye.

As some of you may know, SOUND HOLIC has some really great orchestral and classical tracks, I've uploaded some in the past, and I wish they'd really make more of these, because they most certainly have skill and potential.

So anyways, for those of you who do not know "Die Lorelei" in German translates as "The Lorelei", some of you may know it as a famous poem or some of you may know it from certain games, fact is, that the original poem was a love poem, kinda coincidentally it coincides with how this song sounds, I highly doubt it's that coincidental, in fact, the name of the song is "Lorelei ～eine Sage vom Rhein" Which literally translates (and of course I'm using Google translate for this) as "Lorelei ~ a legend of the Rhine".

Regardless, of myths and stuff like that, thank you all for watching.

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds really sad? I cried a whole day because of this :'(

Not to mention the Greek legend came from an era when the Germans were still a bunch of tribesmen living beyond the Rhine (the Alemanni, weren't they?).

@KuroPup92 Exactly, but the only difference is: The term "siren" describes a race, while "Lorelei" is a name.

[KuroPup92]

@Flyzo1993 soa Lorelei is what most people would reference as the sirens from greek mythology? That's a very interesting tidbit, thanks for sharing. :)
