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.
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"
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! ❤
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.
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!
This hit me so hard. Thank you Shirley for making my life like is worth of living. Thank you for all the joy, all the music, all the heart you put on it
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 🫶🏼
What an utterly distressing, unpleasant, horrible but brilliant film! I read the book first, incredible! Glad to see a comment with reference to such a masterpiece x
Oh my effing god... This Mortal Coils cover of this Tim Buckley song is precious to me, so for my favourite band Garbage to be covering it is an absolute joy. ❤🏴🎤🎸🥁🎸
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)

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.🌷🫶🏾.
I love the direction you guys are taking, since No Gods No Masters everything you make feels so deepful and oniric. Can´t wait to see you again on august
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.
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.
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
I think I've just died and gone to the dark side of heaven! I never thought I would've listened to a version of Song To The Siren as beautiful as This Mortal Coil's but you've just proved me wrong! Thank you, this beauty is overwhelming! ❤
C'est superbe et super de partager cela ici. J'aimerais voir la version LP passer au format CD. Je suis encore dans les années 90, ne m'en voulez pas si j'attends encore des MaxiCD... Ne me jugez pas 😉
I waited for the vinyl EP to get my hands and not to listen to their songs by streaming. I didn't know the original song and this cover hitted on my chest, so delicate, so eerie, so profound... It's THE song for my fall.

I saw when I was very young back in 1999. the memories of your concert has been with me and they will always be.
Are you allowed to tell us which tv show? ☕️

It gives “HBO” vibes..🤔🤔
Wonderful visuals, lovely song
I've always liked Shirley's voice the most on ballads. So much emotion.
U r not alone in this.

How can you tell when it's so overly processed?
Decades of this band. Love it. Thank you Garbage!
Taking influence from Elisabeth Fraser on the vocals and making it their own as always makes it sound so..fucking..beautiful.
Nothing beats Elisabeth Fraser! Greatest voice in the history of music
@@Sblueboy808 You forgot Lisa Gerrard!
@@gaetanoermito5001 and many others lol!
@@Sblueboy808 i prefer Hope Sandoval and Kim Deal.
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…
Vocals are so beautiful. I love that shimmer
Shirley's voice is beautiful

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.

This is a cover of Tim Buckley's song. The song you talk about is a brilliant cover did by This Mortal Coil.
Oh man... That's a perfect cover for you guys.. sounds amazing
Since I saw ''Lovely Bones'', this song always make me cry :( that movie broke me
What an utterly distressing, unpleasant, horrible but brilliant film! I read the book first, incredible! Glad to see a comment with reference to such a masterpiece x
I couldn't place where this was from. The movie broke my heart.
This is truly pretty! Shirley's vocals on this are golden!

Amazing, man have I missed 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! 🤘🏼🖤🍻

If Chris Cornell covered Senead it's because she was and will be a legend.@@leperheart
What a haunting song, it gives me goosebumps.
No puedo parar de ver este video...es lo más hermoso e hipnótico que he visto en mucho tiempo...y la canción...ufff 😭

Wow...just wow
Felt some "This will end in tears" vibes in there.
Badass as always
*Such a unique version, darker, heavier, it’s emotional.* 🖤
Karaoke
You should listen to the version of Amenra
Wow!!! I am impressed, absolutely, beautiful piece.
Gorgeous voice, Gorgeous soul, Gorgeous Gal!

This is stunning.
IMPECCABLE

As I sit in the misting rain listening, thinking this is perfect for today's grey day.
The most beautiful vintage song. Awesome you re made it.
