On the floating, 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 here when I was full sail?
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"
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or 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"
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 here when I was full sail?
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"
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or 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,

When this tune starts, I think of the movie soundtrack from the English Patient.

i'm curious, what do you think of sinead o'connor's interpretation of it?
for some reason, i really like this version. it reminds me of some music i heard on the English Patient soundtrack. i'll have to look that up.
It's all subjective. IMO Sinead's version is better than This Mortal Coil's, but they both suffer from over-production. I think the song is better with a more straigntforward, relatively spartan performance.

Chicken skin music

How odd, the Sinead O Connor version of this played just 38 minutes ago. Coincidental playlist overlap?
I wouldn't like to know the 100+ people who decided this was 0
Great song with an almost spiritual draw
This is a sad and depressing song that was soundracked in many movies, one of the biggest being the lovely bones. A book turned to movie by a writer who was raped and then errantly accused a man who served decades in prison. And vilified even longer. She recanted, years later after the damage was done, and NY state is now spending millions reconciling this travesty. This song reminds me of this whole, sad story and I normally hit play something else.

Contrary to popular opinion, I hate this version of one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Tim Buckley's is, obviously, fantastic. John Frusciante's is pretty good. But I feel like we're still waiting for the definitive interpretation.

Check out BBC Radio 4 Programme Soul Music where they discuss the poem by Larry Beckett that was the basis of Tim Buckley’s classic.
For me, Liz Fraser can do no wrong.

i remember hearing this song during zack snyders justice league and thought it fit the scene perfectly
At least a +1 for a cool band name.
Still so, so, very sublime!

Fun fact- this was the last segment of the last episode of the Monkees. Still wild to me that that happened.
I like This Mortal Coil's version but it's not my favourite version of the song, and not even close to being my favourite Liz Fraser performance.
More than anything I guess though, that could be taken as high praise for Tim Buckley's version, and Fraser's body of work in general.
The original, performed solo acoustic by Tim Buckley, 1968:

This is Music As Art. That's why some people don't get it. Not saying they should - Music As Art involves a different response than just Music As Entertainment. Hence the reverse bell curve on the ratings. Me, I'm on the right hand side of the bell, cresting the wave and trying to spill onto the next page. One of the greatest musical performances ever recorded, in my ever-so-humble.
What ercasul said.
I'm new to Radio Paradise. Was with another Listener Supported Radio for quite a while -- but the music here (Main Mix) is so aligned with my taste, I wonder if you have a backdoor-peeking hackware looking at my music on my devices. I mean, seriously. From bands like The The, This Mortal Coil to specific "B" (or even C)-side songs I secretly love over hit songs -- stuff I have never heard anyone play ever anywhere. Your programmer is my musical doppelgänger.
How beautiful!
New B&W pi7s and hearing this for the first time on them is a real aural treat…
This is such a beautiful song, and I enjoy when it enters occasional rotation. Gets heard just enough to retain its charm and enigmatic vibe.
I actually first listened to it in full on RP, prior to that I'd heard the vocal incorporated into an equally beautiful Drum & Bass song by a Finnish artist called Fanu, in on of his earlier tracks called "Siren Song". It's worth a listen if you like electronica.

I remember where I was when I first heard this. It was in my 1970 Volvo 144S on my way to work a night shift; right about when it was released. It was played on WBCN (Boston radio station) by Oedipus on his show called Nocturnal Emissions.
Stopped me in my proverbial tracks then ... and now.

I just listened to the Sheila Chandra version and couldn't disagree more. Elizabeth Fraser's vocals are edgier and more inspired. Although Ms. Chandra's voice is beautiful, I could easily imagine her version filed under Adult Contemporary.
Sheila Chandra does the definitive version of this song. She makes this version sound pedestrian.

Ironically, I love the song, but the back of my mind still goes,
"Holy Melisma Batman!!!"
It's interesting how polarizing this song is.
Unfortunately I'm on the extreme left side of this rating scale - it's such a great song but it's ruined so horribly by Liz Fraser's extreme nasal affect on this track. And I normally like her voice (she was amazing on Massive Attack's Mezzanine) which makes this feel like even more of a cruel mockery.

yes - cocteau twins Liz had a thing with Tim Buckleys son and she does this tune so well

About as close to ghastly I've heard on RO. But Bill granted my brain with a reprieve by washing that dreck out with a soothing rinse of Joni Mitchell. Talk about polar opposites in talent and musicality.

Is it better than the original, no it's not. But it is still a fantastic song regardless.
This is so amazing!!!! Thankyou for this wonderful music! I listen to radio paradise every day. Greetings from Salzburg, Austria.

Oh man, brings me back to the early 90's, mushroom trips in the Pacific Northwest forests, and long late-night talks with friends. I've never heard this on any radio station ever. THIS is why I listen to RP. Thank you Bill and Rebecca!

The "did I dream, you dreamed about me" got my attention. Classic rave song song from the early 90's sampled it. (just dated myself) Still have my vinyl collection from back then. Still get the chills from these awesome vocals. This is a beautiful song. I'd like to add, Thank Radio Paradise !!! I've been a listener since about 2002-3? I have been exposed to many songs I would otherwise never heard. So grateful for what you provide.

There are lots of covers of this song, most in the same vein as the Tim Buckley original. This is such a startling reinterpretation, I can't imagine it working with anyone else's voice. 10 from me.
wow, what a flashback. I didn't make the connection until I just read this comment.

Hypnotically lovely and transcendent. My second favorite version is the live performance of this song by Robert Plant on Austin City Limits. Curiously, Tim Buckley's version is my third favorite.

Dear spaceman..., I'm not sure what Steven Wilson has to do with the song but you might want to go back to the original 1970 Tim Buckley recording. Buckley's clear tenor voice with his guitar accompaniment is one of the finest songs to emerge from the American folk scene. Perhaps it is Tim's untimely passing shortly thereafter that makes the song all the more haunting.
Being a huge fan of Steven Wilson has forced me to revisit this band and Dead Can Dance. I don’t think I was ready for them in the 80s and 90s but I am enjoying the rediscovery.

My son refers to some of the british folk music that I like as 'nasal ethnic whining'. Alas this reminded me of his comment, without giving me the enjoyment of the former.
So need this moment of breathing this moment. Thank you, Bill

Lawdy me, Mr. B/Ms. R. Talk about dredging back the past to the right now! Yeah, it'll end in tears, circa 1984. 2019 be more like "Alexa yeah, skip this one. Before I start LOL-ing."

I knew this lyric from it's sampled use first... this original is much prettier, but nostalgia still lends a lot of joy to the dance track for me.
Beautiful melancholy piece....shocked to hear it on RP - yet it IS RP after all!
Just woken up and half asleep I thought this was an old madonna tune

Wonderful! Tarantula is my favorite, though, for the lyrics and chord changes; if someone can add that, I would appreciate it.
haunting, beautiful.

I suppose there's a nice-sized library of playlists, perhaps to carry on the RP experience after Bill leaves this world.
But to the song itself. I'd given it a 3 originally, and I'm going to have to stay there. It starts out okay but just doesn't seem to end, and the extra-nasal quality of the singer's voice, it's just a bit too much, at least for me.
