fsmith9095 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 The Sunday Mercury says that Robert and opera tenor Alfie Boe have recorded Tim Buckley's Song of the Siren to appear on Boe's next album. Apparently the two singers met in a bar and discovered that they're fans of each other's singing. Led Miserables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Heard about this yesterday. Could be quite interesting. Great that they've recorded "Song To The Siren" as it's my favorite from "Dreamland". They also might do some shows together as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Thanks for posting Debs. Not sure if having a former Spice Girl and a Jonas Brother on the album is a good thing, but we'll see in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takamba Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The song is now available on itunes in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepRex Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Did you notice that Alfie recorded a song called Over the Hills and Far Away for his latest album? It's not the Zeppelin song though..neither the melody nor the lyrics..I still find it strange though that a completely different song with the same name exists^^ I can't wait to hear the duet with Robert..I think they blend quite well..

Jaeleigh Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Heard about this yesterday. Could be quite interesting. Great that they've recorded "Song To The Siren" as it's my favorite from "Dreamland". They also might do some shows together as well. First I would like to start off by saying this is SECOND HAND INFORMATION so I do not know the truth behind it... There was a woman on twitter a few days ago who was listening to an interview with Alfie Boe on his latest project and she claims that AB said Mel C (Spice Girl I think) and Robert were going to join him as special guests during his concert at the Royal Festival Hall. I checked the website and he is doing a concert there on December 7th. That is all the information I have on this, and, again, I did not hear it myself so it may not be true at all.

It's not the Zeppelin song though..neither the melody nor the lyrics..I still find it strange though that a completely different song with the same name exists^^ That song existed for about 266 years before Zep's song was written. It's quite likely that Robert borrowed the title when writing Zep's OTHAFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDave Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Alfie Boe 'Song To The Siren' Pretty cool. Interesting Alfie performing this in his kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepRex Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 after this rendition I wanna hear the version with Robert even more..I hope it turns up soon somewhere on Youtube, otherwise I'll just buy the song. I hope it's worth it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 The entire interview is great-Part 4 of the interview he talks about Robert...enjoy:-) http://www.classicfm.co.uk/music/interviews/alfie-boe-classic-fm-interview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagittarius Rising Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Thanks for posting Debs. Not sure if having a former Spice Girl and a Jonas Brother on the album is a good thing, but we'll see in a few weeks. Mel C is actually quite a talented singer. She was the only professional singer in the Spice Girls and helped teach the others how to vocalize. She can really sing her ass off. Now regarding the Jonas brother...not quite so sure about that, maybe he can sing quite well too away from his boy band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Finally the entire song..Robert kicks in about 1:30..simply beautiful IMHO!! http://broadwayworld.com/videoplay.php?colid=375462 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
