A whole mental image is conjured up in this offering…I can picture in my minds eye, one of those Pre-Raphaelite Mermaids with her lyre calling us hapless sailors toward her melancholy refrain. Its beautiful Old-Dog - and Ciggy’s vocal is splendid.

I love the harp (did I get it correct?), which sounded understated and gave the whole song a slightly medieval and dreamy feel.

A very gentle presentation of a lovely ballad tenderly sung. Perfect accompaniment, smooth and settling.

This is incredible. A sparse arrangement with everything Just So.

A beautiful, haunting interlude of timeless myth and image. Harp, Ciggi and ocean — an unbeatable combination.

Perfect accompaniment making Cigs voice project across the waves to beckon many a sailor to their doom.

truly beautiful, so much so that i’m smiling. the harp & flute, Ciggi’s voice & narva’s lyric are just enough to make this voyager willingly die for a dream, rather than resist. lovely track indeed.

The Muse named Euterpe played a flute, and served as a muse for music—and for lyric poetry.
They say the Sirens lost a music challenge to the Muses, with rather unfortunate consequences for them. Yet here the spare treatment of flute, strings, and vox, combined with a subtle, allusive lyric, suggest to me that the Sirens are due a rematch—which they will lose, but lose with stylish scarlet dignity. Great job, all ‘round. I particularly like that the arrangement is so spare, and the vox pulled up so that the words are easy to understand. |

Thank you Ross!
Ciggi makes such a beautiful siren. Deceptively simple, absolutely beautiful. n9 :-) |

Oh I rather like this. Both vocals and music remind me of Emiliana Torrini’s “Fisherman’s woman” album.
Which is a very good thing. :) |

I first heard the vocal pella which got me working on my mix but I thought that old hound would be working on something.
The harp is a nice touch and the arrangement and chord structure works together really well. Another very nice bone dug up Mr Dog! |

Once again your skill shines thru.
Faultess. Although i was wanting to go off to the loo listening to all that water sloshing about. Can i suggest to lose a little mid range from the vocals prior to a light compress. You will find it will lose some of the room sound on the recording and feel warmer in the mix. |
