Fun fact: The image of Loreley as a river witch hypnotising men and leading them to their deaths didn't exist until the 1800s. Before that, Loreley was just a rock formation on the shore of the Rhine river, at a particularly difficult passage to navigate. Previously, the rock was said to have been haunted or inhabited by dwarves.
@@rockyblacksmith supposedly crying or moaning sounds are heard - have to assume the high winds whipping around the formation make the sound that's heard.
For anyone wanting to know the story: Once out of sadness a beautiful woman named Lorelei, through herself into the Rhine river after her lover was unfaithful, and turned into a siren, she sad on her rock and would sing louring fishing boats and ships, they would then crash into the rock she sat on. she was captured and convicted of witchcraft and murder, the people threw her off a cliff and there, she fell to her death. her name was also spelled Loreley, Lorelai, and Loreali

The (historical) background is a very difficult to navigate place in the Rhine with shallows and narrow curves below the Loreley rock, near the town of St. Goarshausen. Many skippers have had accidents there. In addition, the rocks along the Middle Rhine, especially the Loreley Rock, throw back a well audible echo. For these reasons, the rock has been considered cursed or inhabited by dwarves, nymphs or the like since the Middle Ages. Today, shipping traffic there is regulated by traffic lights, the so-called Wahrschau system. The legend of the Loreley was created in the 19th century by Clemens Brentano, to whose family a house is dedicated in Oestrich-Winkel, near the Loreley, which Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Bettina von Arnim, among others, regularly visited. The Grimm brothers are also said to have been frequent visitors. Brentano first wrote of the Loreley as a person. In the 19th century, Heinrich Heine wrote the now world-famous Loreley poem "Ich weiß nicht, was soll es bedeuten" (I know not if there is a reason) on the basis of Brentano's ballad.
The myth is actually about the spirit that's said to haunt a river. Lorelei was going to be taken to this place far away from the river that she loved, and as they were taking her there, she asked to see the river one last time, and ironically, they were kind of above it, on a cliff, and she threw herself into the river from there. And now she's a siren ghost lady. I'm writing this purely from my memory from when I read this last year.
I have many favorites, but this one meets top five. In order, it's Cartouche, Ocean Gypsy, Loreley, Keeper Of The Flame, and Village Lanterne. I showed Cartouche to my social studies teacher back in 6th grade, but she barely gave it a second glance. It made me kind of frustrated, considering another one of my teachers completely loved Blackmore's Night.
My name is Lorelei so it's pretty obvious why I'm listening to this song lol. Recently I went on a trip to europe with my mom and as a surprise we went to St. Goar along the Rhein river to see the rock and the statue. My name was everywhere it was great.
My wife asked me to translate the poem for her when she was pregnant with my third daughter. She liked the illustration. Then i showed her this song and then we had a name for her.
Both the character and this song were based on the legend of a siren upon a rock by the river Rhine known as the Loreley. So I suppose you're right to think of her.
Never grow old ....:) Muawh!!! To my old witch ...stay safe muawh! Muawh! Always watching your back ......!!!! Love2 my dear!!!...old school still rock!!..
Well you could say that. Here in Germany, there is a legend of the young lady Loreley. She sits in a rock, brushing her golden hair and sings. And her voice is so beautiful, that all the sailors forget the danger of the river and drown.
Lemme ask you this: Am I the only one around here imagining Ninten, Ana and Loid singing this while clapping to the beat and when Loid got to the line "You would not believe your eyes, How a voice could hypnotize..." his eyes would glaze over and he'd fall over, then Ninten would catch him and bring him back onto his feet while continuing the line for Loid, then snap his fingers, which would wake Loid up, and jump back to clapping to the beat while Loid finished the line?
First discovered this hypnotic song from a short fan-made animation. Fittingly, the animation was about some cartoon characters that were called Sirens.
Samantha Clark Loreley is not the german name for sirens but a siren from a german legend is called Loreley. The legend says that she was a beautiful woman with golden hair who jumped from the rock (the rock is also named Loreley) and transformed into a siren. since then she is sitting on this rock, singing and combing her hair and a lot of ships sank because they followed her hypnotic voice without thinking about the sharp rocks.
Crystal Clears Wow, this is a late reply. XD In regards to that, yes, it is. But there are two variations of the word Loreley. The more frequently used version (to my knowledge) is Lorelei, but the former (and the version used in this song) may also be used. :3
@@kittendraws2066 THIS is a late reply. There are even more spellings, you can almost spell it however you want. But the most popular one actually is “Loreley”. Greetings from river Rhein
In 1801, German author Clemens Brentano composed his ballad Zu Bacharach am Rheine as part of a fragmentary continuation of his novel Godwi oder Das steinerne Bild der Mutter. It first told the story of an enchanting female associated with the rock. In the poem, the beautiful Lore Lay, betrayed by her sweetheart, is accused of bewitching men and causing their death. Rather than sentence her to death, the bishop consigns her to a nunnery. On the way thereto, accompanied by three knights, she comes to the Lorelei rock. She asks permission to climb it and view the Rhine once again. She does so and falls to her death; the rock still retained an echo of her name afterwards. Brentano had taken inspiration from Ovid and the Echo myth. -WIkipedia
Wendy Boschert "According to German legend, there was once a beautiful young maiden, named Lorelei, who threw herself headlong into the river in despair over a faithless lover. Upon her death she was transformed into a siren and could from that time on be heard singing on a rock along the Rhine River, near St. Goar. Her hypnotic music lured sailors to their death. The legend is based on an echoing rock with that name near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany." From Encyclopedia Mythica.
Radni Kutak Actually, that’s a rock on right side of Rhine. There’s a legend about it - a girl named Lorelei (also spelled Loreley) jumped from that rock to her death when her sweetheart betrayed her. Hence the rock’s name. After death she became a siren, who is tempting sailors, only so their ships would crash at rocks. You can also find Heinrich Heine poem „Lorelei”.

Loreley is actaully a myth in the Rhinelands of Germany. She is a siren-like figure, bringing men to their death with her song.
