    If I had a nickle for every time Umber made an incredible song from the pov of a mermaid I'd have three nickles, which isn't a lot but it's impressive that it's happened thrice.

    The cover art makes me feel like the mermaid won this one. They gave away everything away in the original song, now the people are offering their organs. All hail the sea god.

    The original feels like the mermaid had met a cruel end when you did that cover but hearing this version almost feels like a really intricate revenge story when they realized their love was spent on the wrong person and I dig it so so much.

    Lyrics!
    Rise and fall
    Silver moon tide erased my foot prints
    Then I picked up broken scales
    Stuck them to my tail
    Ah
    If love truly makes you blind
    Then I guess
    There is no need (There is no need to see)
    I'll trade my eyes
    So you can see for me
    Lulala Lulalila
    Stay with me
    You will never be sad
    I
    I will embrace
    Embrace your bubbles, your fluids
    And keep you warm
    Then
    I will squeeze out
    Squeeze out your germs, your spore, your viruses
    I
    I will embrace
    Embrace your membranes, your bones
    And keep you cool
    Then
    I will squeeze out
    Squeeze out your evil, your grim and your woe
    Transform myself
    Once and for all
    Sink into the tub
    Reborn
    Reform
    Twist my legs to one and mind to none
    Tell me tell me
    What do you see
    In the mirror that's covered in chalky steam
    Touch me touch me
    Kiss me to sleep
    Cut me open and give me gills
    So I can breathe
    With tweezers and nippers
    Trim off my fins
    And forever I'll be yours
    I won't fight or make you cry
    Whatever you need
    Whenever you need
    I'll be by your side
    And then I gave you my eyes
    To see all the colours
    And then I gave you my ears
    To hear all the sirens
    And then I gave you my heart
    To fill in the emptiness in your chest
    And then I gave you my brain
    So that you can learn to love
    Tell me tell me
    What do you see
    In the water that's clinging onto my skin
    Cut me cut me
    Please make it deep
    If I'm covered in scars
    Will you look at me
    Kiss me kiss me
    Don't leave me be
    I'm a bathtub mermaid
    I cannot swim but only sing
    Just pull the plug
    Flush down all your memories
    Into the sea

    Umber, it's been like two years (?) since I last listened to your covers and holy fuck. Your art and singing has improved so fucking much. You're such an awesome guy and I'm so glad I saw this in my recommended.
    I remember listening to your first bathtub mermaid cover and I loved it, and this, this! This cover just makes me so happy. The harmonies and your voice control and air control is perfect. You improved so much and I hope you're proud because you should be!
    Fun fact, your original bathtub mermaid cover is actually what got me to start listening to mili!

    And this version sounds so much darker and almost threatening...
