    And let's face it. If you were able to teleport the animated Disney figure of The Little Mermaid to the real world than you would get .... Simone Simons. She looks (and sounds) like she literally stepped out of that animated movie and became real :)

    Simone has always stated that Disney movies have been a great motivation and inspiration for her as a singer ever since she was a little girl. She did a beautiful cover of Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid during COVID. If you want to see/hear it you can find it on RUclips.

      They are, and have had and still have such an imfluence in the Symphonic Metal scene, but I also love Myrkurs voice in this (she is danish).

    Besides the Music itself, I love how these Ladies are seductive, but still far from being Vulgar. My personal opinion is that the White colors are the more innocent part...dont you remember etc. The Black is more the suggestive dark ideas, and the Red is the act itself.
    You are right it is about H.C. Andersens Mermaid, this is what the user @konradstanczyk5158 wrote:
    I've been listening to this non-stop for 2 days and just realized that this is an interpretation of the original "The Little Mermaid" story, in which the mermaid's sisters give her a dagger so that she can kill the prince and regain her tail.
    Simone appears to be the little mermaid, Myrkur and Charlotte are the sisters. Except in their version the mermaid does kill the prince and reunites with her siblings (unlike in the story, where she refuses and turns into foam). Really awesome and well-written lyrics. And what a fantastic song.

    Simone did a covid-cover of Part of your World - The Little Mermaid. Very sweet, she has the voice for it. Now out of covids harms way just give it a twist.

    Hauntingly beautiful song. Homer never described the original Sirens but over the centuries Sirens slowly morphed into half female half fish creatures synonymous with mermaids. You nailed it. Song is inspired by the original Little Mermaid tale by Hans Christian Anderson. Simone, Charlotte and Amalie Bruun of Myrkur are the Little Mermaids' sisters trying to remind her of her home and encouraging her to take a dagger and kill the Prince. You are the first reactor I have seen that caught the Little Mermaid references. In the story her sister's appear and give her a dagger to kill the Prince the night before he is supposed to marry another. This will allow her to regain her mermaid tail and return to the sea and live out her life as a mermaid with them. In the story she is unable to kill the Prince and throws herself into the sea where instead of turning to foam as Ursala's spell commands, she turns into a luminous and ethereal spirit. Other spirits welcome her and tell her if she completes good works on earth over 300 years then she can earn an eternal soul in heaven. The video IMO puts a twist on the original because we do see blood on the dagger indicating that the Little Mermaid does kill the Prince and returns to the sea to be with her sisters. But the lyrics from the final chorus have this line "We are the children of the sky. Come earn a soul that never dies" which sounds like the story and so the dagger is not used. As all great artists do they leave the interpretation up to us.

      The ladies from left to right are Myrkur (Danish Black Metal/Folk artist) with blond wig, Simone Simmons with the burgundy wig, and Charlotte Wessels with the brunette wig (ex Delain, now solo). Not their real hair. Don't think their is any significance just a nice visual. For more sirens you should checkout Nightwish's The Siren with original singer Tarja fro the end of an Era concert, ruclips.net/video/LUy8T_3kieI/видео.html, and Blackbriar's Arms of the Ocean, ruclips.net/video/VflZGJU0igw/видео.html. Blackbriar is a Dutch gothic/symphonic metal band. Their lead singer, Zora Cock, has a very haunting and unique voice and their music videos are filled with Victorian gothic imagery.

      There is one more possibility, the three kill the fourth, saving the prince. That would be more like Anderson...

    One Dutch siren went rogue and couldn't appear in this clip. She's the most haunting of all & rumoured to be the prime cause of shipwreck: Zora (& her boys from BlackBriar). Take a look: "Blackbriar - Weakness and Lust (Official Music Video)" - ruclips.net/video/dcNCIewWhBs/видео.html Cheers! 🤘

    I think that no additional meaning was hidden in the hair color, they just decided to make it different, but the colors of the dresses are definitely not random.

    • @AmericansLearn

      I think they are the same sort of creature. Sirens are usually portrayed as monstrous though, who lure sailors to their deaths so they can eat them, and mermaids are often portrayed as nicer.

    When you listen to quality of singers, lyrics and composition in metal vs what is on the radio (and extremely popular), a person can easily lose faith in humanity.

    I found it so funny recently when people were up in arms about the Snowwhite where the actress didn't likes the Disney original really and meant it should maybe be modernized. And all were talking about "the beloved original" .. and i as a german just thought : you dumb idiots have now clue about the original because Disney already butchered these story so much to make them more "family friendly" because the originals were mostly really dark and brutal.
    Not really sure about the mermaid story howver, but as kids in germany we got to know the real Brothers Grimm book versions of Snowwhite and all that stuff.
