there's this mystery about the main song from this movie...

http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/t ... er_lg.html

the original was written by Tim Buckley and there were many covers done by various artists...

the best full cover was performed (my guess) by This Mortal Coil & Lisa Gerrard (Cocteau Twins)

* * *

but...

there's the mistery about the new cover, sung by Renee Firner (band «moneypenny») for this very movie.

many people search for a full song of her version, but can only find these two samples. every legend has a beginning...

That was Elizabeth Fraser and not Lisa Gerrard, ..although its easy to mix the two names up. Now, ... dealdvs, ...I'm confused as to which version you were looking for ... ?

[deadalvs]

yeah, mixed up, sorry... !!

i'm searching for the full version of the newest version for the texas chainsaw massacre trailer.

(the full final song as on the links... which are only two short parts)

but obviously it doesn't exist... ?

ripped from a thread ...

OK, to set the record straight:

1) The version of "Song to the Siren" as featured in the TCM soundtrack IS NOT the version as recorded by This Mortal Coil

2) The TCM soundrack rendtion of this song was recorded SPECIFICALLY for the soundtrack

3) The vocals are done by Renee Firner, singer for the Minneapolis band Moneypenny. (More information on Moneypenny [who are now defunct] can be found at mp3.com under Moneypenny USA [there is an Irish band on mp3.com also called Moneypenny])

4) The instruments and production were done by Ev, multi-instrumentalist for the Minneapolis band 12 Rods. More info about 12 Rods can be found at 12rods.com

5) The recording was done at Twin Cities studio Integral Recordings

6) There is no full version of this song available ANYWHERE. Don't go looking.

7) Yes, it sounds a lot like This Mortal Coil's version, or several other versions, but it's NOT any of them.

Renee Firner just performed this song on October 11th at the Bryant Lake Bowl Theatre, with Dave Beckey from The Autumn Leaves accompanying her on guitar.

9) There is no information as to whether this will be on the official TCM soundtrack, but I doubt that it will be.

Are there any further questions?
