I've written a bunch of ocean-themed songs for my band, Neptune's Keep, including one called The Lonely Mermaid, with accompaniment by my husband and by my musical goldfish. We also covered a traditional sea shanty called The Mermaid. You can check them out on our website: http://www.neptuneskeep.net/hear.html Our cover of Sleepsong features animated mermaids in our music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WALYk2MgpDs And our Youtube channel, Fish Make Music, includes other Neptune's Keep originals and covers: https://www.youtube.com/user/fishteer

is it sad that the first thing that comes to mind is that one episode of metalocypse where this death metal band -deathklok- made an album just for fish because they believed fish didnt get enough of good metal music. one of the songs is called mermaid murder. (btw its a show on adult swim and it has gory content just incase anyone got too curious)
Kamanaka
06-15-2014, 04:06 AM
Raina said turn loose the mermaids :-) good song it made it into my playlist a while ago :-)
Mermaid Sirenia

I really like "Underwater" by Mika: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b8btcCmL0c
'Cause all I need
Is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me
And I can live underwater...
Cool video, too.
Also "Calypso" by Suzanne Vega: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC8cpXMl4LM
My name is Calypso
My garden overflows
Thick and wild and hidden is the sweetness there that grows
My hair grows long as I sing into the wind
I tell of nights when I could taste the salt on his skin
Salt of the waves...
The story of Calypso, the nymph who detained Odysseus on an island

Thank you, Lucinda! My voice has had its ups and downs, but I have a wonderful voice teacher, and I work really hard at it! My band, Neptune's Keep, is actually doing a live-streamed mermaid concert online on October 26 at http://www.concertwindow.com/artists/4194-neptune-s-keep . I'll put an announcement up on MerNetwork soon.

FYI, all - There's been a thread for this since 2011- right here: Mermaid Music (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?86-Mermaid-Music). It's 8 pages long. Hopefully the admin will see this one and merge it with the original.
It's the third 'stuck' post on the Everything Else subforum (http://mernetwork.com/index/forumdisplay.php?50-Everything-Else).

I don't know if this counts as a Mermaid song but I fell in love with Samantha Newark's - Blue Sea
https://soundcloud.com/samanthanewark/blue-sea
*Side note - Samantha is the acting voice of Jem/Jerrica from the 80's cartoon Jem & The Holograms. She's not the singing voice of Jem, that was Britta Phillips.
