The visual artist Marcin Pospiech has just made us a beautiful visualiser for our cover of “Song To The Siren”. We were originally asked to record it for use in a television show that ultimately decided against using it so it’s been sitting around unheard ever since. We decided it was too good to be left on the bench so we included it in our most recent record store day release. Watch Marvin’s gorgeous efforts here. Listen to our ‘Lie To Me” EP on all streaming platforms.

U r not alone in this. Much as I love all their hardest-rocking tracks, my #1 all-time-fave is probably "Milk" (Tuff call, tho; "Queer" is up there, too... Or maybe "Cup of Coffee"... Or "Godhead"... Or "Blood for Poppies"...)

@@smartalek180 One of my favorite ballads with Shirley's voice, is King of the world. Heartbreak to hate also great. When she was apart of Angelfish. From Garbage, So like a rose. It's the song I relate to the most. Other favorites. Control, A stroke of luck, Milk, and Night Drive Loneliness.

How can you tell when it's so overly processed?

Taking influence from Elisabeth Fraser on the vocals and making it their own as always makes it sound so..fucking..beautiful.

It's a Tim Buckley song. I like this one, though. Fraser's is good.

HEADPHONES! You don’t want to miss the FULL EXPERIENCE this song/cover is!!! Omigosh - freakin AMAZING…

When a song is as covered as this one has been it's quite an achievement to have recorded a version that not only sounds fresh to thr air, but also tugs the heartstrings as deeply as the very best of the past! This one does it! ❤

Shirley's voice is beautiful

lyrics Song To The Siren Long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile Till 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" La la, la la, la la la La la, la la, la la la Now, did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full-sail? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sing, "Touch me not Touch me not; come back tomorrow Oh, my heart; oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow" Well, 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 Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you"

Thank you for providing the lyrics to this beautiful song by one of the best bands in the world. Lovely 💚 Greetings! 🌟🌎🌟. 🐅

The original song was the opening of the Héroes del Silencio concert and I totally loved it… now, 17 years later my favorite band does a cover 😍 thank you, garbage 🫶🏼

Decades of this band. Love it. Thank you Garbage!

Tim Buckley! This is an amazing song! This Mortal Coil's version is outstanding! Check it out if you haven't heard it. Well, done, Garbage! 🤘🏼🖤🍻

This song has breathtaking vocals. Wow. 😇🫶

The vocals, the control and the emotion… I wish I could control my singing voice as well as Ms. Manson ❤

You continue to give gifts to this sick sad world that will resonate eternally. I’m just happy to have been able to be a witness to it in this lifetime. This is what magic is.

Awesome cover. Elizabeth Fraser, Cocteau Twins and I think this song even made it on a This Mortal Coil album. No voice can challenge Frraser's but I love that Garbage did this as a tribute. Very kind.

the simplicity of shirleys voice proves garbage still rules, even after all these years

Since I saw ''Lovely Bones'', this song always make me cry :( that movie broke me

What a stunning cover of this song,Shirley has made it her own,and the visuals are a perfect match,so glad we now have this to listen to,I have always loved this song,and to have a new take on it by Garbage is something special for sure.(Matt)

One of the most perfect covers you guys ever done. Wonderful!!! ❤ Greetings from Brazil!

*CHILLS* I did not see this cover coming! 🖤✨

Unbelievable. Incredible song and you sang it with such restraint I totally loved it. Back in the day when I was discovering and delving into this mortal coil dead can dance and Cocteau twins TMC’s version stunned me, before I even discovered it was a cover. Loving Garbage and loving TMC makes this so so amazing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

This is one of my favorite songs. It absolutely breaks my heart. Thank you so much for this gift, Shirley. You're truly amazing. And these visuals... wow!

The US alt-rock group Garbage released a Record Store Day-exclusive four-song EP called Lie To Me in April 2024. It contains four previously unreleased tracks from the band, including a couple of collaborations with fellow veterans. The Lie To Me (EP) has two completely new songs, the revved up pop-punk anthem “Better Not Lie To Me” and the clanking, wounded “Revenge And Hurt.” The band co-wrote the former song with Rancid leader Tim Armstrong, and you can totally tell. The EP also has Garbage’s take on “Song To The Siren,” the folk classic that the late Tim Buckley originally released in 1970. There’s also a remix of Garbage’s 2005 track “Bad Boyfriend,” featuring Dave Grohl on drums. Grohl and Garbage drummer Butch Vig go back a long way; they both worked on this obscure album called Nevermind in 1991. Enjoy Jim

Badass as always

The vocal melody reminds me at times of "Now we are free" by Lisa Gerrard

Stumbled across this by accident. What an AMAZING cover, of what was already an AMAZING cover. You've done this song SO much justice! ❤

Wow...just wow

Dear Garbage, don’t ever stop bringing the goods: please stay well and safe because you are loved by SO many . Thank you for many many years of pure Garbage.🌷🫶🏾.

Thanks! I liked it from the jump!

Beautiful beautiful cover, nicely done!

Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What a great morning... My two favorite singers voices echoing in my head... Like a diamond gong at the space... 🖤✨

Thank you, right to my mood! you guessed

❤❤I have Always Loved this Song from Tim.😢. But I love Garbage So Much 💋❤️. !!!! Great job 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Didn't realize this was a cover until I read the comments! They do such masterful work with covers. One of the most sonically beautiful ballads I've heard in awhile. Another flawless job, Garbage

Felt some "This will end in tears" vibes in there.

love this rendition!

Audibly and visually stunning. Thank you for sharing! ♥️♥️♥️

Oh my GODDDD. This is one of my all time favorites! So gloomy, so sad, so beautiful. Now in Shirley's voice makes it 9999x better. HERMOSO COVER! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG, this is beautiful.

What a haunting song, it gives me goosebumps.

Omg I have been dying to hear this ever since I heard about it. Absolutely amazing! One of my favorite songs ever.

The most beautiful vintage song. Awesome you re made it.

Beautiful

The song of the siren was undeniable, commanding the audience. Sailors would hear the singing and throw themselves on the rocks. But if the sirens' singing failed to produce a victim, she died. According to some versions of the myth, the sirens are fated to die if sailors were to hear their song and escape. So, to obey the command was to die. To deny it was to kill. The Sirens dilemma. Sinead did a version...

I swear you guys alwayz amaze me!!!! 🤍🤍🤍 Garbage 4eva!!! 😊😊😊 I love every song on this EP

Gonna listen to this on my next shroom trip.

great cover of a cover, i really do love this mortal coils cover, it is so nostalgic to me because my dad who died at 50 showed it to us as kids from a vhs of music videos he taped on rage over night, it was something he would regularly do when we would stay with him at my nans place, it really struck a cord with me even at that young age of about 6, what a memory.

GORGEOUS ❤

Beautiful music and visuals! Amazinf work!

Sonically and visually stunning! Epic💯

Shirley's voice ❤️‍🔥, the music 🌌. Omg epic 🥴

Awesomeness!!

Amazing, man have I missed garbage!

My god this song has haunted me for years....and now we get a Garbage version! Incredible.

Vocals are so beautiful. I love that shimmer

I just received the vinyl record, it's a pure marvel, thank you again.

Full essence of the original song is slightly touched, this is a whole new song. Good to cover music gems, and now I go to the original just to wash it - afloat on shipless ocean. 🙂

This has been mezmerizing!

Love this!!!!

Perfectly beautiful!

Encisadora la vostra nova versió !!

The vocals on this are very haunting and really compliment the visuals. It's like watching something like a NDE onscreen...the last images of a dying mind before the soul moves onto a higher plane of existence...quite ethereal and emotionally jarring...

Love this 👍❤️‍🔥 awesome visuals, too!

Wow !!! What a surprise !!! Beautiful song ❤❤❤❤

Fucking amazing version! Beautiful and stands out from the other covers out there. Of course, nothing but the best always from Garbage!
