Selkie unzips her skin, finally determined Through a window in the dark, there he sits all alone I've been waiting on the love of my life to find He's been waiting on his selkie to come back He said, I know these shores are not like yours But will you make your home in my arms? Selkie battled tide and wave just to gaze upon his face Hiding behind rocks to learn if he found a new love Lorelei sings the song for lovers who were torn apart then left broken-hearted Lorelei hears the cry of lovers that the sea of fate had separated Selkie puts her hand in his, he knows the gift she gives There inside his cabinet, folded safe her seal skin I've been waiting on the love of my life to find He's been waiting on his selkie to come back He said I know these shores are not like yours But will you make your home in my arms?
After knowing how in the miths humans often take control over the selkies, the fact that here the selkie is the one that voluntarily gifts her skin to the human, and the human tenderly asks her to make a home by him is such a sweet detail in these lyrics. This plus the beautiful piano composition make this song one of her bests ever!
You Are Not Tori Amos Oh ;0 hmm, weeeell, I thought about it and I would probably just talk about Darienne Lake's bridal makeover for 30 minutes so maybe next time! ;< (thankyouforinquiringthough)
This is absolutely magical! You play beautifully. I've been trying to find the sheet music everywhere too. I would be so grateful for pdf and more than happy to pay or trade (I've lots of Tori Amos sheet music, including most b-sides). Thank you once again for such a wonderful piece of music.
Amazing how quickly you have been able to figure this one out! You did again an impressive job! I am learning to play the piano and I struggle with her pieces even if I have the sheet music. I really don´t know how people can transcribe from a recording. I´d love to have this ability. Do you teach? Can I ask you a huge favor. Would you please try to figure out the new intro from Parasol that she played in Berlin and NY this year? I am hooked on it and would like to give it a try…but don´t know where to start. Thanks again for sharing your work! XOXO
Thanks, Rossella Vacchelli! It takes years of practising and a good ear, I think. I wasn't planning on transcribing live versions at the moment, so maybe later?
This is beautiful. What a fantastic job you have made of transcribing this. Are your transcriptions available? I also play the piano but would not be able to transcribe this
are you planning to play "oysters" as well? that's my favorite on the album at the moment. plus "unrepentant geraldines" whose changes i love. itsstructure reminds me a litte of "past the mission"
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE. I'm sure you've been inundated with requests, but if you don't mind one more would you mind sharing the sheets? I'd love to be able to play this, but lack transcription skills.
This is amazing! As are all you covers :) Any chance I may have the sheet music? I'm playing this live in about a month and I've gotten most of it by ear, but the notes always help!

Stunning.
Thank you, aeronyth!
I could listen to this forever. Amazing ♥ I'm in love.
I just wanted to say that you played that beautifully!!
Thank you, William Emslie!
Selkie unzips her skin, finally determined
Through a window in the dark, there he sits all alone
I've been waiting on the love of my life to find
He's been waiting on his selkie to come back
He said, I know these shores are not like yours
But will you make your home in my arms?
Selkie battled tide and wave just to gaze upon his face
Hiding behind rocks to learn if he found a new love
Lorelei sings the song for lovers who were torn apart then left broken-hearted
Lorelei hears the cry of lovers that the sea of fate had separated
Selkie puts her hand in his, he knows the gift she gives
There inside his cabinet, folded safe her seal skin
I've been waiting on the love of my life to find
He's been waiting on his selkie to come back
He said I know these shores are not like yours
But will you make your home in my arms?

I agree with Jared Justice after hearing it instrumentally... this is so beautiful. Thanks!!
This is beautiful!!
This is amazingly perfect,
I admire you for such incredible skills, thank you so much for having done this brandnew girl, it means so much to me...
Thank you, Hiltrud Flügge-Korn! I'll try to do some more of the new album.
The love-child of Roosterspur Bridge and Baker Baker. Love it. You are amazing for covering this song in such a short period of time.
Ha, thank you! Are you still doing a RuPaul review of last week's episode?

I think I'm going to put all of your videos in a playlist and listen with headphones... yes I am. Yummy :)

Amazing work - love everything on your channel!
Can you share your sheet music transcription? That was beautiful.
@yanta I am AMAZED this isn't a big grand bosendorfer or steinway ( or equivalent ) - what is the make/model of this piano you use?? It's sublime
This is so good, thank you !!
Oh, I love how she let her study in romanticism influence this album. Even more upsetting there is no song book. You did wonderful. Subbed.

incredible as always! I hate to be yet another person bothering you with this, but could I possibly get a copy of the sheet music as well?
That sounds really beautiful! Where did you get the sheets from? Maybe we can trade? :)
This is amazing! As are all you covers :)

Amazing cover! Congratulations. Is there any chance you could send me the sheet? Thank you!
wondeful ! amazing ! can i have the sheet ? thanx a lot
Where did you find sheet music for this? I've been looking for sheet music to Oysters and can't find it at all.
Hi Nicholas Bednarcik! I make the sheet music myself. Apparently there will be no official sheet music for this album.
*ear, not war.
