TerriblySorry for your loss!I cry when I hear this song. Reading your lines gutpunched me and so much came out.

I first heard this song in 2011. I was deep into heroin addiction and had been up for days in horrible withdrawal really trying with everything inside me to kick the heroin. At that time, in the middle of the night, at my absolute lowest point with my mind and body ravaged from the agony of withdrawal and ready to just die and have some relief I stumbled across this youtube video with this angelic song and for a moment I had the relief I was longing for. It's really strange and hard to explain but this song touched my soul in a way I'll never forget, other songs can do something similar but this song at that moment was almost like a religious experience. Today I am six years free from heroin and I come back here from time to time to re-live that moment.

I heard this Mortal Coil version of Song to the Siren some forty years ago as a teenager. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard and haunted me wonderfully for years. Every so often it creeps up, either in my mind or someone using it for their project, but it will always be to me, the most incredibly beautiful songs of all time. Swim to me let me enfold you. Thank you Tim Buckley for writing such an emotive piece, but thank you Elizabeth Fraser for burning your voice into my soul.

So true.

I came to America in 84,my heart was broken into gazillion pieces and I was married to a friend who lived in Minneapolis, we met in Pakistan, I was Yugoslavian from Belgrade! I was something of a poet,my heart was pure poetry! I didn't know anyone and run into a guy buying beer! He invited me to his house and I couldn't believe that I walked into Van Gough painting, every inch was hand painted with yellow, orange, black and white, probably some other colors but orange and yellow were electric vibrant! He rolled a joint, my first in America and I laid in a couch,as he told me, listen to this sound, I just got the record! This Mortal Coil and everything started to make sense, the painted house, vibrant colors, excruciating pain from a broken heart, my thoughts changed from self pity to freedom of gratitude and hope that she's not suffering and remembering that saying that It's better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all! After the Song of the Siren, he said, oh if you dig this you'll love C. Twins

He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on.

She meets that lil Indian girl on the film...I saw her as a white girl and I think I recall it being mentioned in the book...the important part is the meaning portrayed...this is about death, what is it like to die, what happens when you die.... obviously I'm not suggesting it's an eyewitness account.

I heard this song many years ago, and since then, I think it's the saddest song I could ever find. Every time I hear it, I feel like crying, but I don't know the reason for that feeling. At this moment, as I write these lines, I feel tears falling, and I don't know why. I am grateful for the existence of this melody, which reminds me of my father's caresses, and curiously, it was only two years ago that I lost him and he left for eternity, but since then I have felt this sadness that I cannot get out of my heart.

I have been searching for this song for a long while, and now here it is. I am so grateful.

4AD during the 1980s put out some of the most fascinating music that there has ever been. Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, The Wolfgang Press, Colourbox, Lush, Pixies, Throwing Muses, etc... This Mortal Coil was a collective group of like minded people put together by Ivo Watts and this is the result: this version of Song To The Siren is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard and will ever hear. And possibly the greatest ever cover version. Thank you Ivo for bringing 4AD to us. But I have to admit I miss the 1980s.

When you need a good cry, and the tears won't come. This works every time. The sense of loss and longing is palpable.

It is a rare thing indeed, when a song as timeless as Tim Buckley’s “Song to the Siren” can be reinterpreted in a way that moves beyond the version we once knew and takes it into the depths of our broken hearts and wounded souls. This version carries with it a thousand tears from everyone who found it in their own time of need. It’s ironic that Tim’s son, Jeff Buckley did the same thing with Leonard Cohen’s “Halleljuah”. His plaintive rendition transcends the original.

Liz Fraser had a relationship with Jeff Buckley, but they split. One night his memory was really strong with her, she pulled out all the letters he’d written her, and after reading them, and the emotion that came out, she wrote Teardrop..and the next day she heard the news that Jeff had drowned. Liz performed Teardrop with Massive Attack. I loved the song before I ever learned it’s backstory..now it’s even more poignant. 💔

I didn’t discover it until I heard it in The Lovely Bones. Jumped on KZread and found it thinking it was from the same time period as the film! I was totally shocked to see it was a song from the 80’s and then of course I discovered her relationship to Jeff. Sometimes it really is a small world after all and many things are connected just under the surface. 🙏 Cheers

What’s special about this is that Jeff Buckley heard this cover of his estranged father’s song and fell in love with her voice. He found her,they fell in love and they began a relationship. It ultimately ended due to the hardship of tour life. When Jeff died, Elizabeth Fraser said she wished she had kept him in her life even if it were only friends. They did record a song together and it was released. The song is called, All Flowers In Time Bend Towards The Sun. I love this cover but the cover by Amen Dunes is the one that hurts the most for me.

I have a slight obsession with this song. This is my favorite rendition (and the first I'd heard), but I have 35 versions. Tim Buckley was the original. I love that it's a retort to the Siren's song. The sailors are mesmerized by the Siren singing to them, unknowing that they are sailing to their demise, to be wrecked upon the island rocks. Amid the longing to sail to the Siren, a sailor answers the Siren's call. Asking the Siren what she wants of him. How should he show his love, that they may be together. Does he give his life in vain? Or will she be taken aback, and reciprocate the sailor's yearning? Regardless, he gives his life to her. Under a spell, or is it love?
