THE MERMAID WIFE - The Apex Singers
► STREAM/DOWNLOAD "The Mermaid Wife" on Apple Music, iTunes, & Spotify: ditto.fm/the-mermaid-wife
Beneath the serene hills of the Shetland Islands, mermaids dwell in underwater palaces made of coral and pearl. One moonlit night, as they danced on the shore, a Shetlander stumbled upon them and stole a mermaid’s seal skin, trapping her in the human world. Desperate, she was forced to marry him, living a cold and distant life while secretly longing for the sea. Years passed, and when her child unknowingly found the hidden skin, she reclaimed her true form, leaving her family behind to reunite with her first love beneath the waves.

This is perfection. Fantastic work.
This is a mockery so fucking disrespectful taking an Irish foke song and making this horse shit you should be ashamed
Well, that was delightful. Thank you.
Musically and visually stunning. Its beyond my comprehension how this just hast 2500 views. Somethings very wrong with the internet. :(
Thank you for the kind words. We're so pleased you enjoyed our rendition.
Love the song but the homo vibes from the two dudes making way too much eye contact is a bit much.
This is absolutely stunning. Wow. Just....wow. If i may ask, where/how did you learn to pronounce the Inupiat lyrics???
brilliant
You should do the corpus Christi carol
Absolutely stunning. The lilting, swaying, melody just carries you along and you never want it to end
Now THAT is what i call harmony.
What the fuck are ya doin, its a song bout drinkin, av ya ever tasted water n felt a little tipsy.
I tried my best to overlap this video with instrumental version of Apple Tree and it sounds pretty good
What are the creepy faces about, way to much eye contact
As if the English haven’t put the Irish through enough… now there’s this!
???
@@amb1valentchaos625 private school etonians should not sing Irish folk music. That accent and that song mix atrociously!
Englishman here, please accept our deepest apologies.
I absolutely love this, it’s beautiful 😭❤
you guys both have beautiful voices, I love it !!!❤❤ what language is it?
Thank you 🙏 The lyrics are sung in the Iñupiat language
I mean it’s ehh humor’s of whiskey u should hear the power of the words and have great intensity expressing whiskey . Yall just singing it so slow I wanna sleep
Thank you so much🙂Best version ever❤ Hugs from Sweden

Wow! Well done lads and lasses. You’ve got my subscription. I look forward to more offerings as soon as possible.
Thank you! New music coming soon 🎵
No offence it doesn't sound right sang by an English man
I'm actually crying, it really feels like you are chanting from ancient hills. So beautiful! 💚
GORGEOUS!
I mean. The utter togetherness of all the voices, not just musically but emotionally. There are moments of such exquisite beauty in this that the world just stops still. Ollie's arrangements are off the scale brilliant. Thanks guys. Can't wait to see you somewhere in 2024.
Thank you Peter! This means a lot. Hope to see you at a concert in 2024.
