Within Temptation and Ukrainian artist and Eurovision contestant Jerry Heil have shared an official video for their recent collaborative track “Sing Like A Siren.” You can check out that clip below:
Heil previously commented:
“[It’s] more than just a song — it’s a soundtrack to the film we are living in.
There are two main characters in this story: a girl and an elemental force: water. However, as the story unfolds, we realize that, in fact, there is only one — because humans and nature are one. The raging water represents the challenges we face on the way to our ‘safe harbor’. But the key is understanding that we don’t have to fight nature, once we see ourselves as part of it, we realize that sometimes, we are the ones who create the storm.
Through these musical changes, we reflected a sense of constant motion, the absence of stability and a ‘safe harbor’ where the heroine can feel secure. Yet, as the vesnyanka returns in the piano part at the very end, it brings the feeling of spring: a symbol of hope, despite everything.
I have been a fan of Within Temptation since my teenage years and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day we would create a song together. It is an incredible honor for me. Both the band and I performed at the Ukrainian music festival Atlas Weekend, where we first met in Kyiv. At that moment, I knew I couldn’t let the opportunity slip away — I had to suggest working on something together. Sharon’s vocal style is deeply authentic and resonates with my artistic vision, so I instantly knew it would be a wild fusion: rock, classical vocals, and Ukrainian folk motifs.”
