A few years back, I penned an enlightening article about the Lorelei phenomenon, also known as Lorelay or Lore Lay, and published it in English, German, and Dutch. You can find it in each language as a PDF on this website. It is available for reading, downloading, or both.

In 2025, I transformed those texts into videos that also feature the related poems by Clemens Brentano and Heinrich Heine as songs. The talented singer Karan Troubadoura recorded the renowned Heine song for this project. Other songs were generated using AI. From these videos, the song featuring Brentano’s Lorelei poem has been extracted now.

The English version, beautifully translated by Alfred Baskerville (1817-1884), has also been set to music using AI and is available on YouTube. You can listen to it with lyrics at:
