8. Blackout Falls

Here’s a tune Alison Cowie of Beloved Alice and I have been messing with. Written by Phil Chevron of The Pogues and originally appears on their 1989 Peace and Love album.
Lorelei is a German folktale about a maiden of bewitching beauty who threw herself into the Rhine River in despair over a faithless lover and was transformed into a siren who intentionally lured sailors to destruction. 
She represents the dangers of beauty and temptation, as well as the power of the natural world. 
The story is associated with a large rock named Lorelei, which stands on the bank of the Rhine River near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany, known for producing an echo.
