Guy E. White Gregor McMurray's sonic signature of electric, metal, and biospheric elements dance around Liyv's raw voice and lyrics. The dynamic profile is a solid mix of McMurray's past contributions and Liyv's most recent album, Matriarch. A beautiful addition to both musicians' catalogs. The producer should be very proud. A song that stands very well on its own. I truly look forward to the remix and, perhaps, continued collaboration between them.

about

Selkie is a song that Liyv and I have been working on since early 2022.

In Celtic and Norse mythology, selkies (also spelled silkies, sylkies, selchies) or selkie folk (Scots: selkie fowk) meaning 'seal folk'[a] are mythological beings capable of therianthropy, changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. They are found in folktales and mythology originating from the Northern Isles of Scotland.

The folktales frequently revolve around female selkies being coerced into relationships with humans by someone stealing and hiding their sealskin, thus exhibiting the tale motif of the swan maiden type.

There are counterparts in Faroese and Icelandic folklore that speak of seal-women and seal-skin.

lyrics

Oh did I waste my heart
To feel you closer
In time
Inside my head
Without
Your silver Couture

No doubt
But I am small
Without
And I wont fall back again

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Hold still
Won't you go without
I hear the call
While I endure well

Now you say
With promises
I've lost
Myself in ashes

Oh did I waste my heart
To feel you closer
In time
Inside my head
Without
Your silver Couture

No doubt
But I am small
Without
And I wont fall back again

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie

Only too late
Never stay
Always lie
