about

The biggest difference here is obviously the lack of Jen Polfer's vocals. I have never had the privilege of being able to perform this song with her live, nor with any other female vocalist to do the proper harmonies. This is how it sounds when I play it all by myself.

I've told the story of Lorelei a few times in preface to playing this song, but the story is truly just a carriage of the idea that people get betrayed by seeming fate, each other, and other undesirable circumstances and the song is a calling to never give up and surrender to various plights we all endure.

lyrics

Lorelei don't give up yet
I see the sea and the sea watches me
Lorelei don't give up yet
I want to fly, fly far away

I heard him laughing
A lazy smile that he stole
A conversation
Lead down one lonely road

Came close together
So close the cold band forgot
A cruel beginning
For a treasure sought

I ran from hurt, but surely it found me
It's time to sink
To sink or to swim
It's to sink or swim
Darlin' don't sink
Swim

It's clear that apollo and Lacuna reaches for a more evolved musical experience. ... more
