Sirenes

about

'Sirenes' is a song with references to the sirens from Greek
Mythology. Women has often been portrayed as weak and fragile
in the art, but sirens has always been defined by their femininity
definitely without being weak. An energy that is strongly
expressed in this song with its sharp high vocals and its luring
melodies that change when you least expect it.

With this single comes a live session, shot at the stunning Frederiksborg castle in the

room, containing paintings of the First Schleswig War, that took place during the mid-
1800 hundred. This was the time when the danish national identity was created. It fits

perfectly with Ea Wims' theme of danish identity as a concept. All the members of the
ensemble are women dressed as beautiful fairytale creatures; like sirens, or the danish
mythological creature "Elveren" A Siren of the forest. Ea herself is wearing replicas of
danish iron- and viking age jewelry, again playing with the concept of Danish identity.
On the floor lays a dead man, a victim of the sirens with the danish flag covering his
face, referencing the slayed soldier on the painting behind them. All this plays together
in a unique artistic expression, reflecting 1000 years of danish history and culture.

lyrics

(translation bellow)

Græd nu ud
Her i min favn
Glem nu blot dit eget navn
Græd til du bliver træt
Trygt i vores favn
Træd dansen med os

I denne verdens vemodsfyldte klang
Skal du danse med os solopgang
Dans dig selv til døde i denne morgenrøde
Kik så dybt in i mit brændende blik
Den sidste glæde du fik

Dine ord de klinger så uvant på min læber
Dine handlinger jeg bestræber
Jeg synger din sirenesang
Stemmer i for sammenklang
Taler dine alvorsord
Priser dig min gud så stor

I denne verdens vemodsfyldte klang
Skal du danse med os solopgang
Dans dig selv til døde i denne morgenrøde
Kik så dybt ind i mit brændende blik
Den sidste glæde du fik

Græd til du bliver træt
Glem nu blot dit navn
Trygt i vores favn

Cry it out
Here in my arms
Just forget your own name
Cry until you're tired
Safe in our arms
Dance with us

In the melancholic sound of the world
You shall dance with us to sunrise
Dance yourself to death in the morning light
Look so deep into my burning gaze
The last joy you will get

Your words sound so unfamiliar on my lips
Your actions I strive
I sing your siren song
Tune into the harmony
Speak your big words
Praise you my god all mighty

In the melancholic sound of the world
You shall dance with us to sunrise
Dance yourself to death in the morning light
Look so deep into my burning gaze
The last joy you will get

Cry until you're tired
Just forget your name
Safe in our arms

about

Ea Wim Denmark

Ea Wim is something as atypical as a young, female, neoclassical composer, and singer. The scene of neoclassical both in Denmark and abroad is almost without any female representation, and in Ea’s case - with danish lyrics added she is truly unique.
