Mermaid Music

[AniaR]

I'm not sure where would be the appropriate place to post this, so feel free to move it.

I wanted to share some music that makes me think of mermaids either because of the music, lyrics, or videos, and also leave it here for people looking for inspiration for music they can use to swim to in videos or make slideshows with. Please feel free to add your own.

Music:

PLEASE ADD YOURS

[Nessadelle]

These are wonderful mermaid songs! I have a whole list of songs which are actually titled "Mermaid", I can share those if you'd like! :)

[Taylor is a Mermaid]

I'm hoping you've all heard this hilarious song. It's a cover of a Shel Silverstein song, and who doesn't love Shel Silverstein's clever way with words?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnKEUWspSRs&feature=related

[Princess Kae-Leah]

Dear Jessie by Madonna-probably my favorite Madonna song ever!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGYmN-1UQzI

Come On In, The Water's Fine from Jem and the Holograms-two of my biggest obsessions combined, mermaids and Jem and the Holograms, the greatest animated series of the 1980s, IMHO!
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHwsLYoi49o

[Dr. SeaWeed]

The Selkie- Iona Leigh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwJbq7xeRkc

Sirens of the Sea- OceanLab
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-Iq5sOIKAo

My husband has a song on his new CD about Mermaids aswell! There isnt a youtube video for it as of yet but a short sample can be heard here: Mermaids-Ashley MacIsaac http://www.amazon.com/Mermaids/dp/B0050AATSI

[AniaR]

whoa whoa WHOA. Andrew...HOW COULD I NOT PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER I KNEW YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS LOOKED FAMILIAR HOLY CRAP MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED. You guys got married on stage at one of his concerts a couple years ago didnt you? Seriously, my mind is blown. Im so slow. I dont know how it took me so long to figure that out what a silly head I am! Valentines day wasnt it?! Ahh Im sure if I googled I could find something about it! (context: Andrew's husband is kinda a big shot musician around here for like, ever! lol)

Okay, fan girl aside (because you know I have love for my fellow east coast musicians bwahaha!) that is a lovely song. I am totally going to buy it. I also really like the sirens of the sea song too. I'm hoping we can get a good database of songs up here but Im also going to try really hard to find ones legal to use in videos!

[AniaR]

also I think I just proved every single stereo type for Canada with that. LOL too random canadians meet on the internet "hey do you know steve from canada?" "oh, yah! He's my buddy" kinda deal LOL

[Dr. SeaWeed]

also I think I just proved every single stereo type for Canada with that. LOL too random canadians meet on the internet "hey do you know steve from canada?" "oh, yah! He's my buddy" kinda deal LOL

haha you know I thought you may of heard his music before since you were from Nova Scotia aswell but a lot of younger people dont so i wasnt sure :) you were right about all the details except that it was on the 18th. however while we knew we would get married for over a year at that point we hadnt set a date, so we set the date on the 14th(Valentines day) and got married on the 18th so it was very quick:) and it has been 4 years now :) im sure you could find something on google I think the CBC still has some stories up there. I see you sent me a msg on FB so ill continue replying there before i ramble too much! <3

[Dr. SeaWeed]

Raina here is an article you might find funny :P Ashley MacIsaac's hubby; A Mer-Man: http://blogs.canoe.ca/ent/music/ashley-macisaacs-hubby-a-mer-man/ hehe

he wasnt sure on the details when he was asked about awards or whatever but i forgive him hehe:)

[Dr. SeaWeed]

Oh and P.S. you know my favourite Mer-related song is Yours about the merman !! <3 Ill leave it to you to link it:P

[Moonflower]

Okay, so I was thinking we need a really great playlist of music that either involves mers or reminds us of them, the ocean, swimming or anything else related to them!

Please try keep it to mer-related and not just "I like this song/artist/band". Oh, and a note of what type of music, in general, it is would be great too!

For example:

Aqua - We Belong to the Sea (Pop)
Evanescence - Going Under (Rock)
VNV Nation - Beloved (Industrial)
Abri Van Straten - Sunlight and Shadows (New Age) (entire album, esp. Kites, Voices From the Blue, Sound of Waves)

So, what are some of YOUR mer favorites?

[Aquatarian]

I actually have an entire youtube channel dedicated to mer-vids, music and otherwise.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/Acqua1313

Here's a list of some of my favorites (which are all included on my channel)

Underwater Love by Smoke City
Let Go by Frou Frou
Mermaids by Juliana
Swimming by Florence + the Machine
No Air by Jordan Sparks (and the Glee version)
Mermaids, Pirates by The Blue Sky Project
Fragile by Kerli
We Belong to the Sea by Aqua
Not even to mention music from TLM.

There also needs to be tons of Enya, Celtic Woman, and Hayley Westenra added to the list. ;)

[AniaR]

Aqua, I cant stop watching your signature. Im sitting here watching it over and over. where is that from!

[Aquatarian]

lol. This mer-fan made it. Her name is Avery. Here's link to her blog: http://mermaiding.tumblr.com/

She makes tons of mermaid gifs.

[AniaR]

thanks! I got one too. great stuff

[MermaidTamara]

Hi everyone!

Maybe you could help me.
Im searching for songs, that have something to do with water, ocean, mermaids but also be oriental!
Its for an bellydance performance next year.
I found nothing good yet. :/

[Spindrift]

What about Cirque du Soleil songs? Maybe from 'O'?

[Taz]

Here are a few that make me feel zoned out or oceanic inspired.


http://youtu.be/jllVJmohK_4


http://youtu.be/JqDJzcelpIw

This one reminds me of my beloved resident killer whales, and the wonderful coastline that I call home.

http://youtu.be/6oN2RG0q6Wk

[Gem Stone]

I don't have the video, but I like the song, my jolly sailor bold

[Azurin Luna]

I liked the music of Ecco the Dolphin, I still have them around on my pc... sadly I can't play the game anymore... stupid windows 7

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

Azurin Luna, I feel the same way ever since I got my mac computer... none of my old favorite games (or new games) work without adding windows to my computer.

Also, I was thinking about how mermaids are liminal creatures, living on the borders of water and land, and I suddenly flashed back to this Paulina Rubio song. The lyrics of the refrain are particularly evocative of mermaids: "I am a border girl, crossing oceans in the name of love, and I have been searching for this all of my life. My heart knows when it's wrong and when it's right."

just put a few links for some that are on my mp3 player for underwater swimming.

I love owl city for his playful stuff, enya for her magical stuff, and others...

[Mermaid Rillia]

SO out of curiosity....What type of music would you listen to while mermaiding? For those of you with underwater MP3s, what do you listen to? Would you listen to whimsical music or just rock out to whatever?

What would your mermaid soundtrack be?:cool:

[Kanti]

For mermaiding probably something from a videogame. Some cute islandy music or maybe a beautiful
orchestrated piece. Something to keep me in the mood, definitely. But do they actually make underwater MP3s??
If not you'd somehow have to blast the music underwater xD

[Winged Mermaid]

I'm actually working on a playlist to share with you guys :) I have a few playlists of great mermaiding music! I enjoy Enya, Loreena McKennitt, soundtracks from movies (Legend, Neverending Story, Peter Pan, Secret Garden, Last Unicorn, Pirates, Splash, ect), and a handful of other random mermaidy songs. I have my "Fairies and Mermaids" playlist on my swimp3 player as well as others for whatever mood I'm in. Sometimes I want it more mermaidy magical, sometimes I want some high energy rock or techno, sometimes I want some really chill music.

[Bellasea]

I would propbably lsiten to a lot of Styx, Queen, ABBA, some Billy Joel and Greenday.

[Alveric]

Loreena McKennittt and Enya definitely. I would add Haley Westenra as well. I'm listening right now.

'The Water is Wide' became the love theme for Accidental Mermaid.

[Mermaasai]

Owl City... lots... of happy bubbly stuff. ie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5A5xW66LnA


AWESOME mix :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOmq3aL2tqE&amp;feature=related

[Syrenia]

Lots of Florence+The Machine, Loreena McKennit, Celtic Women, and one of my favorites 'Dona Crei Tun' by Gary Stadler feat. Stephani. I can't tell you how much I love that song. It makes me feel so... fantasy-like. And believe it or not, the entire album is sang in a language she made up, to sound more 'fairy like.'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSweW689zUM

[Mermaid Rillia]

I loveeee enya. And florence+ the machine is another excellent choice. totally making a mermaid playlist :)

[Mermaid Miel]

My taste in music is eclectic, and more geared towards Christian Pop, Punk Rock then Classical.
But, If I had a swiMP3 these are the songs I'd put on my mermaids list.

Lovesong - Adele
Despertar - Aisha Duo (Jazz, came with my laptop as Sample Music. :D)
Amanda - Aisha Duo
Songbird - Christine McVie, Cover by AllAngels
Nessum Dorma - Damien Lieth
Deeper Water - Deadstar
Good enough -Evanescence
More than it seems - Kutless, (Narnia L,W&tW Soundtrack)
Message in a Bottle -Police
Lest I Forget - Rebecca StJames
Remembering You - Steven Curtis Chapman (Narnia again)
Pure - Superchick
Get Up - Superchick
One Girl Revolution (Mob Action Remix) - Superchick
Beautiful Name - ZoeGirl
Life To Me - ZoeGirl

[Gem Stone]

Owl city, how I became the sea is officially my favorite song ever! It totally picked me up from a slump that's had me down good for a few days. I was smiling and singing along! Thanks for sharing!

[Mermaid Azira]

My friend puts her waterproof mp3 in a conch shell when she goes swimming or performing.

[Mermaid Rillia]

Cool! never thought of that idea. Does it magnify the sound of the music?

[LindseyLu]

Lots of Florence+The Machine, Loreena McKennit, Celtic Women, and one of my favorites 'Dona Crei Tun' by Gary Stadler feat. Stephani. I can't tell you how much I love that song. It makes me feel so... fantasy-like. And believe it or not, the entire album is sang in a language she made up, to sound more 'fairy like.'

YES Syrenia!!!! I love some of the stuff Gary Stadler has done, totally reminds me of mermaids! He did some songs with Wendy Rule that are so beautiful! There's one called "Are you coming with us?" and every time I listen to it I imagine mermaids trying to lure someone into the sea....really a perfect mermaid's song! :)

[WavyMermaidy]

Wow, this is a nice thread idea...I know for me, and I would imagine many others, music is such a part of life that between my iPod and my brain I always have a soundtrack going. I tell ya, thank Goddess for the invention of MP3 players...possibly the only bit of technology I would be very sad to live without. I would love to have one capable of underwater-ness.

As for artists/albums...there are so many I could think of.
Some artists that come to mind are Loreena McKennitt and Enya (both of whom have been mentioned)...also Sade, Delerium, Enigma, Conjure One, and Balligomingo are awesome for mermaid music.
Ace of Base's album The Bridge would work for me (espeically the songs Wave Wet Sand and Experience Pearls), as would both much of the soundtrack and score to The Beach.

Some songs by other artists on my mer-list would be:

Plane that Draws a White Line - Alias & Tarsier
I Have a Dream - as sung by Amanda Seyfriend (from Mamma Mia soundtrack)
In the Sea - America (from The Last Unicorn soundtrack)
Meditation (Wave Upon Wave) - Arlo Guthrie
Guide Me - Arno Elias
Enigmatic Encounter - ATB and Enigma
Wicked Game - Bassboosa
In Existence - Beautiful World
Circle in the Sand - Belinda Carlisle
Because - Across the Universe soundtrack
The One Who Knows - Dar Williams
I Remember - Deadmau5 & Kaskade
Stars - Dubstar
Come Undone - Duran Duran
Island in the Sun - Emma Roberts or Weezer
Voices from the Past - Ginkgo Garden
Letters from Earth - Gingkgo Garden
No Ordinary Girl - Indiana Evans or Kate Alexa
Edge of the Ocean - Ivy
Like a Waterfall - Jes
A Salty Piece of Land - Jimmy Buffett
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star
See Me Here - Orion
Shiny Happy People - REM
Guetho A Liso - Servais Liso
Crystal - Stevie Nicks
Fragile - Sting
In Sunlight - Tina Malia
Akwaba - Tya

Geez, didn't mean to list so many (and believe me, there are more), but there are so many good songs...some ethereal, some tropical, some trancy-dancy...just depends on mer-mood I guess :)

[Merman Chris]

Slayer.

[WavyMermaidy]

Some great music and videos on here!

Thought I'd add a couple to the mix (even though this is not a super recent thread).

Come Undone by Duran Duran - not truly featuring mermaids per se, but the underwater images have always reminded me of mermaids and the music has a watery quality to it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICnlyNUt_0o&amp;ob=av2e

Low C by Supergrass - this video is played before the performances at Weeki Wachee and was filmed there :)

[deepblue]

I'm glad I kept searching, I wanted to find a thread like this. I love how many different kinds of music are posted here. I have quite a few songs I keep on a playlist titled Siren Songs. They're either about mermaids, or I like to think they are, or are very sea related. My favorite music is from the 20s-50s, so most of mine are vintage. I'll share a few.

Note: Most of the older songs I can't find in video form, so linking to audio sites that will let you listen.

How has no one here heard of Kai Altair?! She's a mermaid, a singer, and a bellydancer! You can buy her first EP for just over a dollar (http://kaialtair.bandcamp.com/album/star-of-the-sea). For those of you in NY you should all go see her at Mermaid Lagoon.

[Samantha Siren]

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzR-_GwVc3E To me it sound like a tale of a mermaid saying goodbye to her human lover because she is being called back to the sea. But you guys can intemperate it differently.

Thank you! I hadn't heard of her before. Lovely... you can tell she is feeling every word.



Two I thought of today...

Mermaid by Woodland. This band... this band is just magickal. Even if I didn't enjoy the music, hearing them live is like having some kind of awesome chakra cleaning whammy.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysJlx7lK3O0

Sirena by Faun.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOwqoqa_Ouo

I can't say enough good about Faun, this amazing German band... I just wish I could understand German when I listen to them.

[Winged Mermaid]

I love Faun! I first heard their music played on The Wigglian Way podcast and was hooked!

[deepblue]

I can't believe I forgot about these guys til now. Actually, yes I can. Gah, dissociative disorders are far more annoying after recovery than before. Anyway, The Mermen.

http://www.mermen.net/

The Mermen. They describe themselves (I've seen on their link via Google) as psychadelic instrumental ocean music. However, I'd have classified them as instrumental surf rock.

Neptune's Revenge

[Mermaid Lei Loni]

Wow! This is the best thread ever! I was just looking for more mermaid songs to add to my playlist. Right now, I'm totally obsessed with Metric's "Breathing Underwater" from their Synthetica album. http://ilovemetric.com/music/

Actually to me, that album has a "mermaid feel" to it. The whole thing is about accepting who you are (the good and bad), growing up (but still staying young) etc. I found the album to be quite freeing. There's a "let go" feeling to the album. But mermaids be warned, the first 15 seconds drops the f-bomb. So for those that are easily offended, avoid the album (but listen to Breathing Underwater, it's clean).

[Karymermaid]

I always feel that "mermaid music" should be as deep, mysterious and beautiful as the Ocean. It has been difficult to find exactly what I like, but I have been making a collection on youtube. I'm glad for this thread, I can see a lot of great selections! Lets keep sharing!
Here is my playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5D55590DA4C061C8

[Ashe]

Mermaid (kind of) Music that inspires me as I make my tails!

1. Cosmic Love- Florence and the Machine
2. Swimming- Florence and the Machine
3. You've Got the Love- Florence and the Machine
3. No Air- Jordan Sparks/ Glee Cover

Look up Hannah Fraser You Got the Love on YouTube! absolutely beautiful!

[roamingmer]

FFor more ethereal sound but not over sampled, try out Anuna.ie - some great sounds especially from their invocation and earlier cd's. Deuter has a great "silence sea" album which iis more of ambient sea sound. Someone already mentioned Mckennit, Conjure one, delerium etc. Les Mills often choose excellent tracks for Their Body Balance CDs. Great for flexability and zoning out.

Okay, IN LOVE with MERMEN! They are fabulous! :)

[deepblue]

Oh, good! I'm so glad. I was surprised a little that they hadn't been mentioned. Not really well known.

Two songs from a YouTube user who put on an echo effect. I like them, they feel like listening to someone's memories... or at least, that effect in a film or such. :p

Somewhere At Sea

Four Winds and the Seven Seas

[Mermaid Saphira]

not sure if it has already been added here or not but..

Train - Mermaid <3 been stuck in my head for weeks! lol

[Sherl]

The most mermaid-ish song I've ever heard so far is Hayley Westenra's "Prayer" for the game "Endless Ocean". I've never played that game, but I'm a big fan of Hayley :) Here it is...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STP44iU9EpI

And yesterday I listened to "Quanta Qualia" by her also! I love the high notes, I can't resist singing along when I hear it!
The lyrics are short and simple:

Anima mea (my soul)
Mane! (Wait!)
Quanta Qualia (how great and how wonderful)
Conventus gaudia (the joys of the meeting)
Erunt. (will be)

It's like how a mer-meeting would sound to me XD


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aox58Dw2KrA

POTC and Skyrim music mash up: SO. MUCH. EPIC.
My imagination just said "Mermen vs pirates in an epic battle for the right to an island full of mystical and beautiful selkies. ​tell someone...."

[Mermaid Dottie]

So, last night I was trying to put the baby down, and I started making something up as I went. I haven't done that for a long time. I figured that this was as good of a place as any to post a link to My Merling's Lullabye (http://lime-smurfette.deviantart.com/#/d5oqfkv)

[Gem Stone]

theres an album called sirens of the sea by ocean lab that I like.

[SeaGlass Siren]

Speaking of, there's also a song in the coraline album called "sirens of the sea ". It's quite funny xD

[deepblue]

Under the Water by Jewel-


http://youtu.be/qYvyQnVbsq4

[deepblue]

Listening to this today, I realized it reminds me of a fresh water mermaid in a tragic love tale. Esp considering I seem to see mers as a lot darker than most. ;)


http://youtu.be/E3pQPPndFqY

[SeaGlass Siren]

Metric- breathing underwater.

And here's a personal favourite and reminds me of native American mers... Just around the riverbend from Pocahontas !!

The edge of the ocean- Ivy (my soul song ;^;)

[SeaGlass Siren]

Also almost every song on Titanic's soundtrack!
Eeeeeek!! I love their soundtrack! It just takes you to a whole new place

[Anahita]

Every time I hear "Cherish" by Madonna I think of mermaids. It's not music I would "mermaid" to, but thanks to seeing the music video when I was little, I'm always going to associate it with mermaids. :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zy4fka3oGo

[SeaGlass Siren]

Anahita, I love oldschool Madonna!

favourite is her ray of light album. Favourite songs are drowned world, swim, frozen, the power of goodbye, and mer girl

[cryptomancy]

I love this one, "Song of the Sea" by Cake Bake Betty...I love all her songs, but I mean this one is just so relatable for mers I think! "Maybe I'm meant for the sea..." And it's just so pretty. :)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3oaJhXx-dI

And still giggling over Dethklok... ^^

[Mermaid Kelda]

I've always loved "Lighthouse" by The Hush Sound.
It's a bit melancholy, a bit spooky, but beautiful and chilling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_H8mcqQkyI

[Mermaid Syrena]

Melaina-- I LIKE YOU. "Lighthouse" is absolutely beautiful.

I also love swimming (I have an underwater mp3 but I'm still getting the hang of it, darn water pressure) to Loreena McKennitt, Enya, and the Mediaeval Baebes.

[Mermaid Kelda]

I need to get me a water-proof MP3 player! I didn't even know they existed!
I also need to make a playlist of every song listed in this thread and listen to them all xD

[Mermaid Syrena]

Yep, it's a Sony player in pink and white! *girlish glee*

It's a bit tricky, though. It works fine above land, but once I start swimming long and hard, the water pressure tends to push the ear buds out of my ear, which wets the bud, which makes the volume dip. Ugh. Hopefully I learn how to use it properly soon.

[Alveric]

Music is a major influence on my writing. Also, like some (many, most) authors, I fantasize about seeing my book made into a movie. So here, if you like is the sound track to The Accidental Mermaid.

http://youtu.be/p1LeXdP9lcM

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
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
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, waiting to hold you

One of my favorite games is Primal. It's about a woman named Jen who falls into a coma after being attacked by the demon who kidnapped her boyfriend. While in the coma her spirit is able to travel to different demon worlds to try and save him, but to survive there she has to transform into a half demon form. One of the realms, Aquis, is underwater, so Jen becomes half Undine. She doesn't grow a tail, but she gets some interesting fins and gills. Anyway, the entire game soundtrack is beautiful, but here are a few of the songs from Aquis.

World of Water

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IDpCLZYhNM

The Turbulent Depths

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJBanJSlHE4

Now a song from a better known game. This is the theme from Zora's Domain and Zora Hall in both The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsIof-qYlvk

[Aziara]

Love the Zora theme! I used to set the game up just to sit in the zora'a domain so I had background music for chores or schoolwork. I even downloaded it onto my phone to use as my alarm.

A few of my favourites have been mentioned already, but I would like to add:

Seven Widows Weep by Sirenia

http://youtu.be/dGCxgJFjnZw

Siren by Theatre of Tragedy (also check out their song Lorelei, another mermaid-related one)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaygFUm3tqk

Lemuria by Therion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZtCRJld08c

I probably have a zillion more but those are the ones I can think of for now

[SeaGlass Siren]

LONG LIVE METAL! RAAAHHHH!!! aino i love seven widows

[Aino Revontuletar]

LONG LIVE METAL! RAAAHHHH!!! aino i love seven widows

Me too! Sirenia are one of my favourite bands (in the top 5 at least). I went and saw them live a few weeks ago and got to meet them and everything, it was one of the best shows I have ever been to ^_^

[MysticMerman]

My go tos are ;
Oceanlab- sirens of the sea, clear blue water mainly, but anything from Oceanlab.
Evanescence - swimming home
Enya- Caribbean blue, storms in africa, the river sings, Oriel window, first of Autumn, (pretty much anything Enya actually )

[MermaidStormy]

La Mer is the original 1943 song written by a French man named Trenet. You'll recognize immediately the similiarity to the more popular 'Beyond the Sea' which was based on La Mer, and with new lyrics.

[SeaGlass Siren]

deepblue... I LOVE YOU.

[deepblue]

lol yay!

You're clothed in respect. You smell of sweet caress. Dip and swell
Beyond the power of fists, your ocean heart healing uneasy minds
And I wanna dive in with you, clinging to the rock, I'm waiting...

[Mermaid_Sarah]

I have a mermaid playlist haha :)
I have a lot of Titanic songs. The Ocean by U2, A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope, Into The Ocean by Blue October, Mermaids by Hans Zimmer, Never Let Me Go by Florence + The Machine and I have a lot of songs that just remind me about mermaids but aren't ocean related. Some of them are: Beside You by Phildel, Skyfall by Adele, Mad World by Michael Andrews

[deepblue]

:D So do I. I think a lot of us do, which is one reason I love this place. No one else would get that. lol Except perhaps, our loved ones.

I keep mine in two lists- I label them Siren Songs and Vintage Siren Songs, for songs recorded prior to 1970. They're my most played lists, for sure. I also have Howl for werewolf songs, Blood suckers for vampire music. And some of those fit into mermaid music, too.

Like this. Because of how I see mermaids, my mersona, and the effect of the moon, this to me speaks both to werewolf lore and mermaids. It was clearly written about werewolves, but I hear mermaid anguish in there. lol

This is a chant I say in my head like a mantra while swimming. It helps me hold my breath longer because I can tell myself, "just make it to the end of this verse..." It's super easy to learn too since it's so short.

Born of water,
Cleansing, powerful
Healing, changing,
I am

Repeat until you run out of breath!

[Winged Mermaid]

Yep, it's a Sony player in pink and white! *girlish glee*

It's a bit tricky, though. It works fine above land, but once I start swimming long and hard, the water pressure tends to push the ear buds out of my ear, which wets the bud, which makes the volume dip. Ugh. Hopefully I learn how to use it properly soon.

Yeah, I decided no to go with underwater player with earplugs. I've read reviews, and they just don't stay in and tend to have not so great sound quality underwater. Plus more parts = more places for it to break.

I love my Finis Swimp3 player! They've been making them for at least 10 years, so they've got it down. It conducts the sound through your bones into your ear drum, so underwater the sound is SO clear! Plus, remember if you use "mermaid20" on the Finis website at checkout, you get 20% off :)

My swimp3 has about had it, after 5 years of mermaid abuse :P But Finis has a trade in program for them where if you want to trade your old one in for a new one they only charge $75. So that is TOTALLY happening soon!

[Winged Mermaid]

Also, loving some of the songs! Keep 'em coming! I also smirk to myself that every few pages someone posts the Pirates & Mermaids I uploaded to my original YouTube years ago. That's one of my tip of the top favorite mermaid songs <3

Here's one that I haven't been able to get out of my head. I know the first few chords can hit the ear wrong, but hang in there- it's worth it!

Helium Vola mashes up electronic music with mainly medieval lyrics in many different languages.
The voice of the main singer is hauntingly beautiful, and some of their quiet songs (they also do danceable music) fit quite well to my imagination of mermaids singing.

Mermaid Lorelei got me into Two Steps from Hell when she used Blackheart as the music for one of her videos :) Some of their stuff is a little too epic to be mermaid music for me. Seems more like battle music or pirate music. But I like that one that you posted- thanks for posting :)


I thought of posting this after posting about why I named my tail Ruto. I thought about naming her Rutela, after the Zora Queen- but I figured Ruto was a perfect match: my tail is blue and beautiful, I have to carry it everywhere, it's high maintenance, clingy, and it's sassy with me, lol! But as is the case with Princess Ruto, totally worth it ;) Anyhow, here's Rutela's theme (aka the Serenade of Water from OOT). :)

I'm not sure if this counts or not. It's a song from a videogame that just came out.

This music is played during the part when the Fable of the little mermaid is dancing.

Bursting through a blood red sky
A slow landslide
And the world I’ve left behind
It’s enough to lose your head
Disappear and not return again

When I fall to my feet
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
All I see just don’t make sense
You are the port of my call
You shot and leaving me raw
Now I know you’re amazing
Cuz all I need is the love you breathe
Put your lips on me
And I can live underwater

Flying through a bright blue sky
With a space boy high
From the world I’ve left behind
It’s enough to lose my head
Disappear and not return again

Underwater, we could live underwater
With your love I can breathe
I can breathe underwater

Hi, fellow sirens ~

Great thread! Thought I'd introduce you to the music of Neptune's Keep, my fish + humans band. I've written several mermaid songs (more on the way). If any of them appeal to other mermaids for use in promo, performance, etc, feel free to use them. Just credit me as the composer/lyricist. Enjoy!

Mermaid of Galloway is a wonderful, spooky song by Scottish folksinger, Emily Smith. The lyrics are in Scottish brogue, so it's a bit hard to understand, but a nifty song! I couldn't find any easy links online but you can listen to a preview on itunes or get it on Pandora.

By Your Side by Love Spirals Downwards


http://youtu.be/1h2K0MTUxSk

I'd cross the ocean just to be there by your side.
I've felt the water as its river flows to dry.
The night sky warms me, tell me should I close my eyes?
Those lights that blind me, say you, "Just you step inside."
Right by your side.
Right by your side.

I ended up making a playlist on Spotify called 'Mermaiding'.
They are songs that remind me of, or trigger my imagination over mermaids and the sea. Some tracks are upbeat, some mellow and I like to listen to this while I'm sewing. Artists include Goldfrapp, Cocteau Twins, Agnes Obel, Stranded Mermaid, Lana Del Rey, Beck, Faith & The Muse, ...
Hopefully the link works. I'll keep adding to it as I go, enjoy :)

Children's music! The album combines children singing mostly on key with recorded animal sounds and is entirely about the oceans and sea life. I grew up listening to this album on cassette and I adored it. I'm so happy that it is still around and easily available. I might even buy it on itunes.

I don't have a mermaid playlist, but I'm looking for good songs to sing while mermaiding, like when taking a break but still tailed. I definitely like the idea of using sea songs/shanties heavily but I'm sad to admit I don't know many. So far all I've got are "Spanish Ladies," "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor" and "The Captain's Mate" (thank you Ren Faire and elementary school choir.) I'd like to avoid super depressing stuff like ships sinking and everyone drowning. Do not talk to me about "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitgerald," please, it seriously gives me the creeps.

I suppose this could count as well, sort of. "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" by the Arrogant Worms. It is fun and easy to sing, more for an adult audience simply because most of the subject matter will be lost on kids. I should know, I first heard it as a kid and all I got out of it was yay pirates!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I sometimes hum the Beer Song underwater... Does that count?

And I make up dirty sea shanties. Oh and, "She sailed away on sunny summer's day on the back of a crocodile..." I don't know the title but I hum that too!

Found this artist a few months ago. They are from Sweden and I found this music to be absolutely gorgeous. I love the melodies and the vocals are very beautiful and a bit difficult to understand. It's easy for me to imagine it as some sort of mermaid language ;)

Below are a few of my favorites but they have several other albums, the videos below are from the most recent album entitled Blue

An older song, it's from 2004. I hear mer in this. Watching Over You by Seabound

From the ice, the blinding white
A schooner's gliding through the night
Angry sea, we sail alone
At last I'm going home

I'm going home

Phantoms lured me off my course
Tried to kill the man I was
You sent a guiding light
Lead me to my lavish bride

To the crag that braves the tide
To the beacon in the night
I trust in you (and)
I'm watching over you
To the souls that crouch in fear
To the ghosts that disappear
I trust in you (and)
I'm watching over you

To the crag that braves the tide
To the beacon in the night
I trust in you (and)
I'm watching over you
To the souls that crouch in fear
Your ghosts will disappear
I trust in you (and)
I'm watching over you

Seasons change, this time for good
Be this message understood
You're the house I occupy
You're the only reason why

I'm still alive

Yes!! I too, love Jonna Lee, and have been listening to her music for the past two years or so.
The Blue album has sort of become the soundtrack of my personal mermaid journey, and daily daydreaming (for lack of a better description).
"Fountain" is my theme song.

The Deep by Data Romance

To me the song sounds very dark and reminds me of the ocean at night, or being (you guessed it) in very deep water. There are very few lyrics which I think suits creatures who spend most of their time under the waves and probably wouldn't speak much. Also, the lyric "This would be a pure disaster, life spent on the surface for you. I need the waves, the deep escape..." definitely speaks to my mersona, whose loyalty is to the sea alone and would break hearts at the drop of a shell when she hears the waves calling.

Hope you guys like it! :mermaid kiss:

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I like the mermaid compilations from Derek and Brandon Fletcher on youtube.

[Adalira]

There is a beautiful cd called Journey To Atlantis from Kevin Kendle and Llewellyn, it is sort of new age music but so mysterious, magical and simply wonderfull.
I found the album on youtube just now so i can share it with you.
The album starts at 1 hour (there is a reiki cd prior) and if you scroll to 1 hour and 34 minutes and wait about 30 seconds, then my favourite song of the cd starts.
I used that music for my 1 and only mermaid gig i did years ago

I love this enough that I logged in to say so (I rarely look at forums anymore, and I don't bother logging in, usually, if I do). It's a beautiful song, and I hadn't heard it until now.

Also, anyone can post in this thread!

I know a metal song may seem a bit strange for a merman but it seems to fit for me.

[Mermaid Alea]

I finally got around to listening to some of this music on this thread. I LOVE it! I then remembered a song that I first heard on a Kingdom of Hearts commercial a few years ago. Here it is
Passion (Single Version) by Utada Hikaru.

[deepblue]

I know a metal song may seem a bit strange for a merman but it seems to fit for me.

Not at all. Every mer is their own mer, and there is no one way to be, or one music to listen to. This thread is proof of that.

The woman who is known as the lead singer for darkwave band Faith and the Muse has the most lovely solo projects out... this one is called Naiades (http://www.monicarichards.com/naiades.htm). I'm in love with the whole thing, but here is one of the most beautiful songs.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsrlOFtUuhc

Lyrics below. (Incidentally, they remind me of the mermaids I write.)


I was sinking.
Long have I dwelt o'er the
Realm of the Drowning Man
Still I was empty...
Long have they been dashed against my shores
Still I was waiting...
And to my wat'ry depths they sadly sank
And I was sinking.
I put them all to sleep
One touch of my voice
Then dead at my feet
It was nothing...
In the early hours
A grey dawn misty morn
The turning tide
Surveyed with flooding eyes
The sky breaking through
The morning silent
And yet I hear the sound
The faintest beat
Of heart that sank itself
Beneath my waves
There was something...
I realize I'm nothing like my kind
Your heart is still beating
Keep your heart alive I'm almost there
Keep your heart alive and I'll bring you home
You better sing out strong
You've got a voice that melts the glaciers down.
Keep your heart alive I'm almost there
Keep yourself alive and I'll bring you home

[Mermaid Melusine]

These songs make me think about mermaids I guess (especially the clams casino one)

Thanks! I've revised it a tad since I've sung it to him about a hundred times now.
I should post my revisions, huh?

Yes, please do! (If you haven't already, that is! I'm having such a wonderful journey going through so many of the pieces everyone has submitted here, it's taking me a lit-tle while to get through the whole thread, so I apologize if you've done this elsewhere. :)) But I'd LOVE to hear the melody you have for those words! They inspired me so much, a little melody came into my head (just a quick something off the cuff), and thankfully I was able to get it down before it all floated away. :) Hope you like, and thank you for sharing! I can't wait to hear yours! ^_^ ♥♥

[Mermaid Arabella]

Had to share one of my favorite local bands: Pandora Celtica (http://www.pandoraceltica.com/listen)! They're a vocal group and have lots of sea-themed songs, including "Sister Selkie" for all you selkies out there! ;) So bummed that they're "semi-retiring" as they put it :(

[Mer Maid Lexi]

rad. love this. ill be sure to add if i find some stuff

[Mermaid Lied]

I now associate Beethoven's piece, 'Fur Elise' with mermaids and the ocean after my trip in the Florida Keys. I was by the ocean when all of a sudden I started hearing that song playing. At first I thought that it was somebody's ringtone, but it just kept going. I later found out that it was an ice cream truck. ^ ^;

Other songs that make me think of mermaids are:

'We Belong to the Sea' by Aqua

'Life is Like a Boat' by Rie Fu

The cover of 'Break my Stride' by Blue Lagoon

'Red Red Wine' by UB40

'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion

[SeaGlass Siren]

Has anyone seen Lana deal Rey's recent music video "freak"? There's an ending for that song and she swims underwater with the music "Claire de lune" in the back.

[Merman Dan]

I really cannot get enough of Daemonia Nymphe lately...

In Darksiders II (both 1 and 2 are so awesome, LOVED them) loved the music in the Tears of the Mountian. Glad it appeared in a few other areas, I think it's rather mermaidy :)

Ooh, after searching for some kind of performance music 2 days straight, old-new thread pops up :D however I still didn't find my perfect music, what Im lookign for is some atmospheric-noise-ambient combo without vocals :)

But if I think about songs I like, still a lot comes my mind that I can connect to mermaiding:
Massive Attack
piano soundtracks of movie "Amelie"
soundtrack of movie "Big Blue"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J5ptf0POnA

Song of Marina from the 1975 "The Little Mermaid" animation, but for me only in hungarian: the lyrics translations are just sg beautiful :) First I saw the 'red haired mermaid' in the kindergarden and I told my mom I want it, so she bought one video forme, the 'yellow haired'.. At the end of it, she couldn't know how to calm me down coz I was crying insanely and I hated and was sobbing "I want the red haaa-ireeeed" lol, but I matured and now I value it more :)

Then another movie: 1976 czech movie 'Mala Morska Víla' ( 'Te Little Mermaid', surprisingly :)) ) my absolute, personal favourite, oh maybe I get these to use <3

Ocean by Lush


https://youtu.be/nDDkpuQMBJ8


Come with meInto a cool blue stream
Bleed into oceans green
Lips open wide
Drinking the tide
Reach for me
Here where the ocean sea
Melts and you sink with me
Deeper inside
I'll make you mine

Take me down
Down where their voices drown
Down where the only sound
Echoes for me
Floating away
Under the waves
Kiss me again
You'll tell me when
Salt on my lips
Cool fingertips
Under the sea


Stay here with me

OMG, we made a playlist with siren songs for our upcoming board game (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdNJk0J0F5XHV0CvJpt1Vq7bFegXLgnxN) and we totally should add some gems from this thread!

(It's a collaborative YouTube playlist, so feel free to add your favorites!)

[deepblue]

Exotica offers a lot of music that can put one in the mind of being in a movie made in the 50s-60s, in exotic locations, often with a tropical influence. This is one my favorites. (It can be a problematic genre, due to having started in an era full of cluelessness about cultural issues. But there is enough of it that you can take what you like and leave out anything that bothers you. It's up to you. That said:)

Les Baxter - Jewels of the Sea 1961

YouTube has this playlist, but if you have Spotify, you can find this album in full under his name. If you like it, also look for Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, and a exotica called Creepxotica.

[Mermaid Fina]

Hi. I’ve search in my metal songs what was fitting the idea of mermaid music and ends up with this playlist of 30 songs from ten differents metal « subgenre » listed from the most lightly and palatable for mainstream audience to the more heavy and extreme or at least marginal kind of metal, lot of good stuff here that as far as i can tell wasnt posted here yet, so here we go :

First Category : « Disney » Metal (not a real metal genre but more a way to talk about metal cover from Disney or disney like music)
1) Poor Unfortunate Soul Metal Cover by Jonathan Young, he manages to go very badass in it somehow : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwibwNnKxJLqAhXQxIUKHVCfCwsQyCkwAHoECAoQB A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3f 8hnCc_r5k&usg=AOvVaw0eNwhlxtVfATFWdkBWENoO

3) Aquaman AMV on Skillet Legendary music (ok the movie is not Disney but it still have that colorful famille entertainment vibe plus this AMV definitively proves a mer themed action movie with a metal soundtrack cool be epic : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiXgKOuxpLqAhXFxYUKHa38BNYQyCkwAHoECAoQB A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D1R wS8wTK2M4&usg=AOvVaw3Gxp5h8kncN1uaHoYxaNdm

Second Category : Symphonic Metal (Metal more melodic than usual with soft voices often from women vocalists Nightwish like)
4) Nightwish The Siren (well of course) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwixnYnzyJLqAhUS1BoKHY7ACM8QwqsBMAN6BAgME AQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6s cMN_pR80I&usg=AOvVaw04rCZQpJrinULVwsAUfAj9 (Turn Loose The Mermaids another song on this topic from the same band is good too)

8) Caliban The Ocean’s Heart (feat Alissa White-Gluz à singer well known for her growls in Arch Enemy but hear she proves she can clear sing like a boss also, this song only have a brief mention of Mermaids and is more a ecology song against whale killings but i think it s still fit) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj89_r2z5LqAhUKuRoKHZMdC00QyCkwAHoECBIQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dzu kCw8OQXoQ&usg=AOvVaw0YL0jcYFYMIaFxEScPfn8_
9) Parkway Driven (The Siren Song s) its a Song which use a Siren metaphora to tell the story of a prostitute dying from drug addiction, one friend also pretends that it refers to some ancient lore about Mermaids feeling their Death coming calling pirate to end their life with dignity in a ritual between euthanasia and suicide of honor, i never found said lore anywhere so maybe he totally invented it to tease me but his story was so brutal now i cant hear this song without having his tale in mind : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiVvJG80ZLqAhUCy4UKHUu1AV0QyCkwAHoECBEQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DO6 wEHzdQzoc&usg=AOvVaw31Et2H_ju3aGy-JzDu1-hc

12) Évier Metal Ultra Vomit (a very dumb Heavy metal parody song loaded with watery word-pun probably the most far off of the mermaid them of this playlist but i just couldnt resist) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjhgp-S3JLqAhVFOhoKHTGaC8EQyCkwAHoECBEQBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dc1 kNwDfBrLY&usg=AOvVaw19KHqy_UmNJQwxxHZv5y2Y

The whole album 01011001 (tel:01011001) is about the story of this specie, over all it s a good one and Ayreon is a really solid impressive prog metal band.

17) We are Seagull-Men Legend of Seagull-Men (another sci fi songs, well here sci fi themed band, this Time about radioactive mutant seagull-men, well it s a bit far off but the oldest mermaid mythes where about half human half seabirds so that s still fit if i go with a very large acceptation of what is mermaid themed song well and band) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi6luXF6pLqAhVJzIUKHWY4CWYQyCkwAHoECBEQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-lNqicJOvR8&usg=AOvVaw1l_04D_lhFH97z0h19F0U9

Seventh Category : Power Metal (Metal songs with fait rythm, powerful voices, melodic tone, high inspiration from heroic Fantasy very often well over all coule as well have been called epic metal that s the idea, sure logs of it is about fire and dragons do trying to find watery mermaid themed power metal is like trying to find the reverse of what mist people sek and expect with this subgenre but i still manage to found some cool power metal mermaid songs) :

19) Sorcerer : Sirens : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiP8trG75LqAhWmz4UKHb_zDqIQyCkwAHoECBIQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlS rCwjtp5GY&usg=AOvVaw0njF1VaeYFdCJ8NjG2NTSu

20) Vision Divine, Mermaids for their Moons : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjhxfTR8ZLqAhWPxYUKHfj-ARYQyCkwAHoECBIQBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DjH Ls6B6-7R4&usg=AOvVaw0KnbxSLG5qTUg1R8ffChFb

Eight Category : Doom Metal (Metal with slow rythm, grave often solemn tone, heavy sounds, often deep voices and lyrics that more often than not give a feel of despair and being well doomed that where the name combes from i guess, i have found some ocean themed Doom Metal that can go well with mermaid idea) :

22) Ahab (ocean themed band inspired by the story of the litterary character of same name), The Divinity Of The Oceans : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwir9sbG95LqAhUHYxoKHYVdCz8QwqsBMAN6BAgUE AQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dvk iu0cWboyc&usg=AOvVaw2wJ3Fuok0qlXYsSIlOacrX

[Mermaid Fina]

The first post seem to start being too long so i post the end of the list here :

23) Giant Squid (another sea themed doom metal band), Versus The Sirens : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjuu7Gf-pLqAhWtxYUKHVtCBbYQyCkwAHoECBEQBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2P ovmYjR-eA&usg=AOvVaw1oD3hItFnxIbi2NCrOlEZ (https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjuu7Gf-pLqAhWtxYUKHVtCBbYQyCkwAHoECBEQBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2P ovmYjR-eA&usg=AOvVaw1oD3hItFnxIbi2NCrOlEZf)

24) Sea Witch (yes another, and a last doom metal band sea themed), The Stormrider : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjqp_W1gpPqAhUPaBoKHbYNC7sQyCkwAHoECBAQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DaU woHQRKuD0&usg=AOvVaw0EmZ8h5RxWGpBUc-fhhQfi

Ninth Category : Death Metal (very distorted sound, lot of growled songs, very heavy, very violent and yes i found mermaid compatible songs of this kind, proof if ever needed that if something exist it s some where on Internet) :

25) Sulphur Aeon, Swallowed by the Ocean s Tide (about the Rise of Cthulhu but can be uses for and scary beast from under the sea so for horrific monster mermaid why not?) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7qA75ET5e0

26) Dagoba, Poseidon (more about a boat name this way than the marine god but still very good sea themed Death metal song) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjQiIDrjJPqAhVvBWMBHSdpAz0QtwIwAnoECAIQA Q&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dnv xH3hj3z38&usg=AOvVaw0eJzPxShOibcD3tnRCClcu

27) Atlantis Chronicles (as their name give a hint to they are a sea themed Death metal band, a pretty solid one with that), Ten Miles Underwater : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwj2ysGSjpPqAhUJy4UKHUztBZwQtwIwAHoECAAQA Q&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DhO K-_MpPNRQ&usg=AOvVaw2jevPZ-p77FDQLih_1Bim_

Tenth and last Category : Black Metal (agressive sounds, dark atmosphere, theme often dark and sometimes gore, brutal in the voice and tone well most often at least, still I have found some good black metal songs that are mermaid themed)

28) Astarte, Sirens (this is a all female fronted greek black metal band so good they scares me, off course they must had a mermaid song) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjFyJyvoJPqAhWyxYUKHft1BIUQwqsBMAJ6BAgVE Ak&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DO0 qPhzDt7xo&usg=AOvVaw0qrOoiPml-G58DTJBpmXQ1

29) Lek, Mermaids (it s a song about some women metaphorically compared to mermaids because they are extremely beautiful on the outside but are void of all that we call humanity in that they have no feelings and are rotten inside took the mermaid as a feminine monster road approach and make a good music with that even tough I understand next to nothing of lyrics I must admit) : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjCs7b1opPqAhWFzYUKHdmlAAAQyCkwAHoECBAQB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DNq OlK3PqH_I&usg=AOvVaw1YNFNVuMO0cu2ZpknygW6Q

30) Deep-Pression, Sirens, it s the first track of their excellent sea themed album Endless Sea you can hear there : https://deep-pression.bandcamp.com/album/an-endless-sea-5th-album, the song Sirens play on the two meanings of this word both being about mermaids and about sirens of hospital ambulance that kind of siren 🚨, it is a DSBM (Depressive Suicidal Black Metal, a sub family of black metal with depression and suicide
as the main themes therefore slower, less aggressive, more melancholic, despaired and atmospheric than most black metal songs often with a lot of yellings expressing inner suffering) song so when I hear the beginning of the album it makes me think of someone who would have tried kill himself and hear the hospital sirens of the medics caming for him and starts to hallucinate about Mermaids drowning him in the abyss. I know DSBM is controversial but I think they are lot of talented musicians in it and Deep-Pression are some of the best.

Bonus : They are not pure black metal but an inclassable band with lot of influences of mainly both black metal and alternative soft rock like My Bloody Valentine and definitively more sound like the latter but Alcest is a very good band and they have a mermaid themed album Écailles de Lune is very good for anyone who like mermaids and dreamy atmospheric UFO kind of album just as solar as they are melancholic and defying description just as must as they defy musical genre classification, I highly recommend this if you have a taste for that kind of stuff : https://alcest.bandcamp.com/album/cailles-de-lune.

Well the end and hope you had a good Music Day!

Thanks so much for this list!! It may not be much, but I've always liked Go Into The Water by Deathklok. Metalocalypse was a funny show and the songs we're excellent to me. Especially this song! Thanks again for the list! I have some non metal songs, like Sirens Of The Sea from Oceanlab! :)

Hi. I m so happy that you liked it! Yeah they are none metal mermaid songs and artists i like too but most like Enya for an example are already posted by others members before in this thread so i felt like my additions would be more useful in my speciality area still they are some Mermaidy Song i know that may please you that aren’t métal and were not posted by someone else earlier before, for an exemple Hatsune Miku Deep Sea Girl : https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjrn6f4ts3qAhUQrxoKHWUmBWMQyCkwAHoECA0QB w&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxQ BRuVTDYww&usg=AOvVaw2_mWdawWPezitZfWmXGzkl.

Even the original version of this song gives me siren vibes but this cover is just a whole new level of siren.

This womens voice is so hauntingly beatiful and i really feel like this is what a siren would sound like in real life.

So many good songs on here! I love instrumentals, sea shanties, and Celtic music! I saw Claire de lune was mentioned, and I absolutely love it. A few of my other favorites on my mermaid playlist include:

River Flows In You by Yiruma
Wellerman by Nathan Evans
Teir Abhaile Riu by Celtic Woman
The Goonies 'r' Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper
Waves by Mr. Probz & Robin Schulz
Hawaiian Roller Coster Ride and He Mele No Lilo from the Lilo & Stitch Soundtrack
Once Upon a Time in Africa from by Hans Zimmer
Swim by Alec Benjamin
Also... Girls Chase Boys by Ingrid Michaelson kinda gives me mermaid vibes. I think it's because of the ahahahah's...
I also have some Studio Ghibli music and lots from the Legend of Zelda (specifically the Windwaker). It's very calming and liberating.

I also have a Siren Songs playlist that include songs from Pirates of the Caribbean like My Jolly Sailor Bold, He's a Pirate, Davy Jones, Hoist the Colors, Mermaids, Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho, and On Stranger Tides.
I also have Deep Down by Lexie Liu included (most of it is in Chinese, but it is absolutely gorgeous).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Woz1g0jnM (this one is very old and traditional)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14qpF5MoEms
