Films and TV shows that feel like Song To The Siren by This Mortal Coil

A weightless, aching plea sung from somewhere beneath the water, where desire, loss and enchantment blur into one shimmering, otherworldly trance.

1. Lost Highway (1997): The song plays in David Lynch's nightmare of desire and shifting identity, its most famous screen moment.
2. Twin Peaks (1990): Lynch's dreamlike small-town mystery shares the same beautiful, unsettling reverie and aching sorrow.
3. The Little Mermaid (1989): The siren myth in its gentlest form: a voice, the sea, and longing across two worlds.
4. Under the Skin (2014): A seductive alien lures men into watery oblivion with hypnotic, haunting beauty.
5. The Virgin Suicides (2000): Sofia Coppola's hazy elegy of unreachable longing sits in the same ethereal ache.
6. Mulholland Drive (2001): Dream-logic Lynch again, a spell of yearning, illusion and heartbreak.
7. Wings of Desire (1987): A tender, otherworldly 80s romance of longing across an impossible divide.
8. The Lighthouse (2019): Sea-soaked isolation, mermaid temptation and madness on a rocky shore.
