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 Oh my heart, oh my heart Shies from the sorrow' I am puzzled as the oyster I am troubled as the tide Should I stand amid your 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'

“Lynch wanted future girlfriend Rossellini to sing a version of Tim Buckley’s Song to the Siren, which was also covered by gothic dream-pop group This Mortal Coil on their 1984 It’ll End in Tears album”.
Isabella Rossellini’s Dorothy Vallens is clearly a “siren” in the obvious sense that she sexually seduces an unwitting man with the allure of her voice. If Lynch had been able to gain the rights for Rossellini to sing Song to the Siren, perhaps there would be more of a commonly well-known link between the film and the siren archetype. The close up of a disembodied ear as bookends to the film, and the firetruck too (at the beginning and the end) really anchor the film in relation to the aurality of the film/the dream..
I mean aurality re HEARABILITY of the film - its musicality; the importance of sound... interesting that “aura” is involved... Hallo Walter Benjamin... again.

‘...warning him of the Sirens, whose “beauty [has the power] to bewitch men … [who] will sing his mind away / on their sweet meadow lolling”’

Illuminating twitter thread from a contemporary translator, who translated the Odyssey from Homeric Greek into English. Emily Wilson highlights:
“The seduction [the sirens] offer is cognitive: they claim to know everything about the war in Troy, and everything on earth. They tell the names of pain”

Were sirens originally meant to be read as offering sexual temptations?
A new interpretation of Homer’s Odyssey points to sirens being bird-like creatures who tempted sailors with “knowledge”
*Why* did Sirens sing to sailors?
