Song to the Siren

Now, this is an important thing to know, is that there's one piece of music missing from this soundtrack that they were not able to secure for this.

Now, I believe that Lynch was able to do it later, But in the film, we have this mortal coil with Song of the Siren, and that's a huge moment.

This is the, I want you, I want you, you can't have me, making love in the desert.

If you know, you know.

Dust Brothers.

Got your little records in? Dust Brothers, Song to the Siren.

Oh, right, yeah.

Dust Brothers.

This Mortal Coil were a music collective formed by 4AD label boss Ivo Watts-Russell and music producer John Fryer, who collaborated with other members of bands on the 4AD label.

This was their first and highest charting single, a cover of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren, which features the Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser on vocals, and it was the highest charting released by the collective, peaking at number 66 on the UK charts.

On floating ships' oceans I did all my best to swim out Till your singing eyes with your fingers Drew me up into your eyes And you said Said to me, said to me, let me hold you Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Then I dreamed, you dreamed about me Were you here when I was four or seven? Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken love lost For you say, touch me not Touch me not, come back tomorrow Oh my heart, oh my heart Shines from the sorrow I'm as puzzled as a newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand with the breakers? Or should I lie with death my pride? Hear me sing Swear to me Swear to me Let me unfold you Here I am Tell it,

buzz off.

That was Dear Prudence by Suzy and the Banshees.

The cover version of the Beatles song proved to be the highest UK charting single peaking at number three and was the first release by the band to have Robert Smith of The Cure on guitar.

And before Dear Prudence, you heard Song to the Siren by This Mortal Kyle.

A band from Oxford now that found themselves lumped into the goth category for their doomy sound, Play Dead.
