One of my favorite songs is the gorgeous Song to the Siren by Rose Betts. The song was originally written by Tim Buckley, but Bett's version is more of a cover of the 1983 version by This Mortal Coil. It appears in the director's cut Zack Snyder's Justice League.

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

@augieray I love this song, but especially love This Mortal Coil’s take on it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HFWKJ2FUiAQ

If you're unfamiliar with the original, here is Tim Buckley performing it on The Monkees TV show in 1968.

@augieray I had to double check for myself this morning to confirm he was Jeff Buckley's dad, because I couldn't remember.

So sad to lose such creative artists so young. But we're lucky that we can listen to what they gave the world over and over.

@mmdolbow It is sad to consider how much talent was lost at such young ages by the father and son's deaths. They left remarkable legacies for such short lives.
