Bat For Lashes - Siren Song
A few days ago I had the pleasure of seeing Bat For Lashes perform live, which is the inspiration behind this post. The band, lead by England born Natasha Khan, did not disappoint. It was actually my second time seeing her, but the performance I saw seemed novel, better than the first one I attended, perhaps because Natasha had time to really fit into her role as a music artist. The show seemed almost magical, not only because of Natasha’s songs, which often have themes of magic, dreams, and love, but also because the stage was filled with lights, dolls, religious ornaments, and a rug with wolves displayed on it. Nastasha danced, joked around with the crowd a bit, and played all of her fan-favorite songs including variations to a few.
During the performance, one of the songs she sang was Siren Song, coming off her second album, Two Suns. She got quite emotional when she sang it, to a point where I thought she was going to cry, but she didn’t. It was quite touching and I wonder what the song means to her. I’m not entirely sure what the song is about, especially since the lyrics aren’t available, but it seems to have more a less to do with loving someone and trying to move on from a past that isn’t something to be proud of. Enjoy.
