Lorelei Music Video

According to German folklore Lorelei was said to be a strikingly beautiful, distressed maiden with locks of gold who sat upon the rock awaiting the return of her lover. Her unfaithful lover never returned, so she threw herself off of a cliff into the water leading to her death. According to the legend, Lorelei's spirit remains sitting on the rock to this day combing her beautiful long hair and singing a soft melody. Apparently, her looks are so charming that sailors passing though are distracted and before they know it, shipwrecked. They say that Lorelei lingers there seeking revenge against her lover.

From time to time, a murmuring sound can be heard in the vicinity of the rock which is said to be her hypnotizing melody. The murmur is a sound that is caused by the echo of a nearby waterfall and strong currents that bounce off of the rocky shore. Lorelei's song is rarely heard today due to the immense amount of urbanization in the past few hundred years.

In our song, lyrics about a modern relationship are spun around the myth in an attempt to create a parallel between the two.
