Song of the Week – The Lorelei
I learned this song because I try to please eveyone. Heather Rose Jones summed it up well in her song, “Song of Lands Afar,” with the idea of knowing a song for the widest variety of places and times possible. I have lots of English, Irish, Scottish, and American songs in my repertoire but didn’t have any German songs. I came across this one, I’m not sure where and thought it would be good to add to my repertoire.
I can’t find any reference to this song online so I don’t know who wrote it or when it was written. Of course, that’s never stopped me before. I don’t even know where I found it though it was one of the earliest songs I learned.

Funny thing, when I was rerecording the vocal track my sister called on the phone again. This time I stopped and rerecorded it but I was tempted to leave it in like last time.
