I can see people in a old tavern singing and dancing to this
Very dancing !
Makes me think of preforming at the renaissance festival.
I would be in that tavern dancing too
Wish I could join them
How can you see us?
Fun fact:
The image of Loreley as a river witch hypnotising men and leading them to their deaths didn't exist until the 1800s.
Before that, Loreley was just a rock formation on the shore of the Rhine river, at a particularly difficult passage to navigate.
Previously, the rock was said to have been haunted or inhabited by dwarves.
The Rock formation is really pretty tho
@@Echo-jd6xk Indeed. Appearently it also has some pretty cool acoustic properties, which gave it the reputation of being haunted.
@@rockyblacksmith supposedly crying or moaning sounds are heard - have to assume the high winds whipping around the formation make the sound that's heard.
I'm going to live in Germany at the end of this year. I'll go visit and find out.
"Haunted" and "Occupied" can be one and the same, depending on your interpretation of spiritual beings.
It would be a great name for a ship. The crew would sing this shanty. We would be the deadliest scourge of the seas.
arr argeed
Jesse Caprari Ya lure other ships to ye with yer song and *FIRE THE CANNONS!!!*
I would be on your crew
I call sitting in that nest thing!
@@melmelodies8730 it's called the crows nest.
For anyone wanting to know the story:
Once out of sadness a beautiful woman named Lorelei, through herself into the Rhine river after her lover was unfaithful, and turned into a siren, she sad on her rock and would sing louring fishing boats and ships, they would then crash into the rock she sat on. she was captured and convicted of witchcraft and murder, the people threw her off a cliff and there, she fell to her death. her name was also spelled Loreley, Lorelai, and Loreali
I’m a little confused as to how a ghost/siren can be captured and convicted of anything, but an interesting story nonetheless
@@leobasketcase2986 Ghost hunters. They have a show now, but back then it was all word of mouth. Ghost busters were a city branch, but they only made a couple movies and then went on to other projects.
The (historical) background is a very difficult to navigate place in the Rhine with shallows and narrow curves below the Loreley rock, near the town of St. Goarshausen. Many skippers have had accidents there. In addition, the rocks along the Middle Rhine, especially the Loreley Rock, throw back a well audible echo. For these reasons, the rock has been considered cursed or inhabited by dwarves, nymphs or the like since the Middle Ages. Today, shipping traffic there is regulated by traffic lights, the so-called Wahrschau system.
The legend of the Loreley was created in the 19th century by Clemens Brentano, to whose family a house is dedicated in Oestrich-Winkel, near the Loreley, which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Bettina von Arnim, among others, regularly visited. The Grimm brothers are also said to have been frequent visitors. Brentano first wrote of the Loreley as a person.
In the 19th century, Heinrich Heine wrote the now world-famous Loreley poem "Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten" (I know not if there is a reason) on the basis of Brentano's ballad.
Great résumé d'une beautiful chanson. Merci, mon ami ❤
This is one of the FEW songs I really COULD listen to on repeat for a while without getting sick of it
+Angelique Dougan Youknow, my mom was actually worried when I wanted to listen to songs on repeat. She said it was abnormal. Then one day I confessed to her that I don't sleep well when my toes are exposed and not covered with the sheets. Again, mom freaked out. When I couldn't sing in the morning, or my hands would crap up while doing hard work after júst getting out of bed, mom freaked out. When I would gag after eating a mint and drinking orange juice, mom would be worried. Et-cetera. Then one day, the internet was there. And everyone on there, seemed just as sane as I am.
+Widdekuu91 *cramp up haha xD Not crap up
lol I do that all the time with songs. but this one really has a nice ring to it
Angelique Dougan same
@@Widdekuu91 ur mom sucks
The myth is actually about the spirit that's said to haunt a river. Lorelei was going to be taken to this place far away from the river that she loved, and as they were taking her there, she asked to see the river one last time, and ironically, they were kind of above it, on a cliff, and she threw herself into the river from there. And now she's a siren ghost lady. I'm writing this purely from my memory from when I read this last year.
H
Ali Penn Thats a really neat story
Some versions say she threw herself down into the river after her lover was unfaithful
My... Name is Lorelei.... Named after this legend. It was actually a singing cliff
*is. It's still there.
My name to but jou spell mine with ey on the end
Named my Daughter Lorelei. I mostly call her Rory or booger though

Why? Who hurt you?
Try working at a witchy store in Peddlers village for a few days. Then you will understand
Loreley probably
My name is Lorelei so it's pretty obvious why I'm listening to this song lol.
Recently I went on a trip to europe with my mom and as a surprise we went to St. Goar along the Rhein river to see the rock and the statue.
My name was everywhere it was great.
My wife asked me to translate the poem for her when she was pregnant with my third daughter. She liked the illustration. Then i showed her this song and then we had a name for her.
Between the river witch and the vengeful Hel-bound ghost of Brynhild, it seems the Rhine is a dangerous river.
My friend told me I had to hear this song. I'm not disappointed
It makes me dance! lyrics and rhythm beautiful!
I love this song!
Blackmore's Night is a german band, and the story of Loreley is also a german legend.
Absolutely, Kitty
lol the band is British/American wtf
@@JHowesitgoing123 Indeed, where he/she got that from I have no idea, it's like kitty doesn't know who Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night are.
Loreley is actaully a myth in the Rhinelands of Germany. She is a siren-like figure, bringing men to their death with her song.
Spatzi adorable, isn't it?
German mythology of the Siren Of the Rhine
I can see Merida from Brave singing this song.
The only thing is..the Lorelei legend is German, not Irish...
i thought Merida was scottish...(sorry if i misspelled it)
merida is Scottish
This song is so fun to sing
This song hypnotizing me to listen her all over again
I have many favorites, but this one meets top five. In order, it's Cartouche, Ocean Gypsy, Loreley, Keeper Of The Flame, and Village Lanterne. I showed Cartouche to my social studies teacher back in 6th grade, but she barely gave it a second glance. It made me kind of frustrated, considering another one of my teachers completely loved Blackmore's Night.
Oh, how this song makes me want to take Irish dancing again...
My daughter is being named Lauralye Willow, her name came from this song just spelled with the welsh spelling.
That is really cool! i wish i was named after a legend.
True to form, my daughter was born 4 weeks ago at 9lbs 3 oz and is named Lauralye Willow.
That is a really pretty name. I wish i was named after this legend.But i kinda like the name i have ^_^
That's beautiful!
Christy Barringer this should be her lullaby (when she was young)
"And all the waves would bow to the Lords Lie."
I can't stop thinking about Lorelei from Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
+Rehean Holt me too
Both the character and this song were based on the legend of a siren upon a rock by the river Rhine known as the Loreley. So I suppose you're right to think of her.
I cannot stop listening to this song
My name is Lorelei
*backs away slowly*
My second name is Loreley
!
@Auro Margaritis thanks
So is mine
This is my new obsession
My friend and I made up new lyrics to this for an assignment about Ponce de Leon. This video helped so much!
I think...Im definitely playing this at my birthday party...
Next renisance fest i will
Dress and dance to this song
That would be in poor taste. The Renaissance is an English custom, not Celtic.
@@JoshuaFlax and Blackmore's Night is an English/American band that plays traditional folk music. Why even bring Celtic in to anything?
i love folk rock!!.. and i love ritchie and candice !!
Go nads. Sorry, I'm, dyslexic oot.
Mihael Petkov this is Celtic music
Nope. Progressive rock or Classical rock of the late 60's into the 80's,
It's still good, and had many influences, among them some Celtic
Ahhh thank you so much for this video!!! The song is absolutely beautiful.
I love this
Love this song.
Gracias a Carola descubrí esta joyita. 👌
Ich kann nur meine Bewunderung dafür ausdrücken. Wie Tief das Verständnis für das alte Märchen auch auf die andere Seite des Meer herüberreicht.
Welcome to the “Loreley Anonymous”

Merci beaucoup pour les paroles de cette triste mais belle chanson.❤❤❤
Lemme ask you this:
Am I the only one around here imagining Ninten, Ana and Loid singing this while clapping to the beat and when Loid got to the line "You would not believe your eyes, How a voice could hypnotize..." his eyes would glaze over and he'd fall over, then Ninten would catch him and bring him back onto his feet while continuing the line for Loid, then snap his fingers, which would wake Loid up, and jump back to clapping to the beat while Loid finished the line?
COOL!!
Can you tell me where these people are from? I have no clue what ur talking about. are they from a book or?
Ninten, Ana and Loid are from a video game called "EarthBound Zero" (more commonly known as MOTHER)
This music remember me of Katherine Pierce
Loreley❤
First discovered this hypnotic song from a short fan-made animation.
Fittingly, the animation was about some cartoon characters that were called Sirens.
Could you post the link to that please?
@@GgdivhjkjlHere you go. ua-cam.com/video/8KzRT1WwEHY/v-deo.html

@@Ggdivhjkjl You're welcome.
I named my Daughter Lorelai after the Siren. Just added my own twist on the spelling.
Well I now what to name my next primaraina
1.25 speed is CRACKIN ❤️❤️❤️
Have you heard the nightcore version?
Anybody know why this (and the rest of the Ghost of a Rose album) got taken off of spotify?
Royalty disagreement. Spotify pays shit
People I know keep on saying they should sing so-and-so to their boy/girlfriends-maybe I should sing this to the guy I like, lol.
And all the winds would bow Down to Tony Mårtensson.
How did u make this video? what editing tools did you use?
👁🔥🔥🔥
I love this song b/c my name is lorelai
mysteries of the sea. I'm gonna thinking of Atlantis
The Siren of the Rhine
je úžasná
What language is that?
Is it talking about the sirens? Kinda reminds me of them.
Minilopsided At one point I thought they were talking about a ship/boat or one of those mythical sea horses.
Well you could say that. Here in Germany, there is a legend of the young lady Loreley. She sits in a rock, brushing her golden hair and sings. And her voice is so beautiful, that all the sailors forget the danger of the river and drown.
I think this is one of or the shortest blackmore's night song.
Hit that shit at 1.5 and get ready to fucking dance!
My mum's name is Lorelai (pronounced Loreley) and she can sing really well....
but is she a big rock, like the one in the song?
megadeth22885 lorelei is also the german name for sirens
Samantha Clark Loreley is not the german name for sirens but a siren from a german legend is called Loreley. The legend says that she was a beautiful woman with golden hair who jumped from the rock (the rock is also named Loreley) and transformed into a siren. since then she is sitting on this rock, singing and combing her hair and a lot of ships sank because they followed her hypnotic voice without thinking about the sharp rocks.
Lunar Löhr ohhh! alright thank you ^w^
Loreley!... (n_n)
My name is lorelai
Yea, you should.
I can't find a version of the myth of loreley that is in English. Can somebody help me or post an English version of the myth in a reply
In 1801, German author Clemens Brentano composed his ballad Zu Bacharach am Rheine as part of a fragmentary continuation of his novel Godwi oder Das steinerne Bild der Mutter. It first told the story of an enchanting female associated with the rock. In the poem, the beautiful Lore Lay, betrayed by her sweetheart, is accused of bewitching men and causing their death. Rather than sentence her to death, the bishop consigns her to a nunnery. On the way thereto, accompanied by three knights, she comes to the Lorelei rock. She asks permission to climb it and view the Rhine once again. She does so and falls to her death; the rock still retained an echo of her name afterwards. Brentano had taken inspiration from Ovid and the Echo myth. -WIkipedia
Wolfie Wolf yup.. its a rock
Wendy Boschert "According to German legend, there was once a beautiful young maiden, named Lorelei, who threw herself headlong into the river in despair over a faithless lover. Upon her death she was transformed into a siren and could from that time on be heard singing on a rock along the Rhine River, near St. Goar. Her hypnotic music lured sailors to their death. The legend is based on an echoing rock with that name near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany." From Encyclopedia Mythica.
I must admit that was far less climactic then i predicted.
Derp Hoof that's what she said
When ever I hear this song I think of c.c from code geass... That's not wired is it?
No...in fact it makes a weird sorta sense
shit like this is awesmoe
Is lorelai a siren?
My name's Loreley 😂
You have a cool name :D
@@sanin3213 thank you💕💖🍪
Isn't it Lorelei?
Crystal Clears Wow, this is a late reply. XD In regards to that, yes, it is. But there are two variations of the word Loreley. The more frequently used version (to my knowledge) is Lorelei, but the former (and the version used in this song) may also be used. :3
Thank you KittenDraws
+Crystal Clears there are a few ways to spell it. There's Loreley, Lorelei, Lauralye, Lauralei, Lorelai and Laurelei.
@@kittendraws2066 THIS is a late reply. There are even more spellings, you can almost spell it however you want. But the most popular one actually is “Loreley”. Greetings from river Rhein
Who is loreley
Radni Kutak Actually, that’s a rock on right side of Rhine. There’s a legend about it - a girl named Lorelei (also spelled Loreley) jumped from that rock to her death when her sweetheart betrayed her. Hence the rock’s name. After death she became a siren, who is tempting sailors, only so their ships would crash at rocks. You can also find Heinrich Heine poem „Lorelei”.

hihi
This reminds me of the genderbend Thomas Jefferson from Hamilton.... Do... Not... Judge...
The Weird Girl Who Creates how the fuck...what a stretch
I have issues :I
Urm. Just to add to this TJeff has a lot of siren AU versions.

ikr?
Isn't this song about a ship?
Caitlyn Reeves It's about a German legend.
Really? I'm going to look this up now. My interest has been piqued.
무수한사내들은죽어버리고??
Every single day.
Okay so...I hear the lyrics:
"And the winds would cry, and many men would die, and all the waves would bow down to the Lorely".
Me, a Percy Jackson nerd, thought this:
"And the winds would cry": Jason (Son of Zeus)
"And many men would die": Nico (The canon gay son of Hades)
"And all the waves would bow down to the Lorely": Percy (Son of Poseidon)
so this is about mermaid or siren shame it would be great if it was about some sort of ghost ship that kills people oh well
A river witch to be exact.
u killed men?? O-O
Quality Aryan music not that ooga boogah primate noises called music
Next renisance fest i will
Dress and dance to this song
