  1. #ThisMortalCoil covered Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren and I was obsessed with this song as a teenager. It's still a beautiful thing.

  6. "Song To The Siren" läuft im #LostHighway #Film, ist leider nicht auf dem #Soundtrack Album (dessen #Sticker #NineInchNails prominenter bewirbt als #Bowie, wtf)...

    P.S.: Jaaa, die Hülle hat ganz schön gelitten 😅

  7. Picked this album to go on after The Velvet Underground, as it's another of the few b&w pieces in Norn's Record Collection series. I don't know if I've ever heard this band - well, collective - before, was kind of expecting industrial, not eclectic ethereal/gothic-y/dream pop stuff. And Kim Deal (on track 6)! It's a double album so I'm only part way through, but so far definitely fits the mood.

  8. "Did I dream you dreamed about me?
    Were you hare when I was fox?
    Now my foolish boat is leaning
    Broken lovelorn on your rocks"

    Die wohl perfekteste Synchronisation zwischen #Schiffssamstag und #SilentSunday.

  9. #NowPlaying A documentary from 1985 about #4ADRecords’ in-house design firm, #23Envelope (later called #v23). Run by designer #VaughnOliver and photographer #NigelGrierson, they were responsible for the "look" of classic 4AD bands like #DeadCanDance, the #Pixies, #ThisMortalCoil, etc. H/T @GuyBirkin youtube.com/watch?v=chmn0hjXSz

  10. Song of the Day - No 419

    This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren

    Released in 1983 on the album "It'll End in Tears," This Mortal Coil's "Song to the Siren" is a haunting rendition of Tim Buckley's original. The ethereal vocals and atmospheric production have made it a timeless classic in dream pop.

    Well, the originals would be #TheCocteauTwins

    But if '80s #shoegaze was basically #SunshinePop completely obliterated by walls of distortion and feedback, then you could even include some of the indiepop bands. If they're singing sad songs, of course.

  12. #Musicians #Bands meet

    @melsches

    who creates lovely music that reminds me of #LauraVeirs or early #RufusWainwright, perhaps with a bit of #ThisMortalCoil too?

    She's looking to get into mastering so perhaps you can do swaps with her? Mastering for collab?

  13. SONG TO THE SIREN
    This Mortal Coil

    Long afloat on 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

    Did I dream you dreamed about me?
    Were you hare when I was fox?
    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

    I'm as puzzled as the 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
    Waiting to hold you
