Song: This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren (Official Video)

Some songs feel like memories you can almost touch, but not quite.
This one lives in that strange space between dreaming and waking.
A little hazy.
A little tender.
A little haunted.

When I think about those early years, the ones tucked behind the fog of childhood, this song rises up.

It reminds me of that quiet pull I felt even back then.

I didn’t have the words for it, but I could feel something out there calling my name.

Something bigger than the life I was standing in.

There were days when the world felt too small, and I felt too big for it.

Listening now, I can hear the beginning of my own searching spirit.

Not clear, not defined, just a small spark inside my chest that refused to go out.

If you’ve ever felt that tug toward something you could not explain, this one may stir something familiar in you, too.
