THE MERMAID WIFE - The Apex Singers

► STREAM/DOWNLOAD "The Mermaid Wife" on Apple Music, iTunes, & Spotify: ditto.fm/the-mermaid-wife Beneath the serene hills of the Shetland Islands, mermaids dwell in underwater palaces made of coral and pearl. One moonlit night, as they danced on the shore, a Shetlander stumbled upon them and stole a mermaid’s seal skin, trapping her in the human world. Desperate, she was forced to marry him, living a cold and distant life while secretly longing for the sea. Years passed, and when her child unknowingly found the hidden skin, she reclaimed her true form, leaving her family behind to reunite with her first love beneath the waves.

DOWN TO THE RIVER TO PRAY - The Apex Singers

It is hard to pinpoint the exact origins of this beautiful tune. “Down to the River to Pray” has been referred to as a hymn, a spiritual and an Appalachian song. Some believe it was a Native American Tribal song that was adapted to include Christian lyrics. It is attributed to George H. Allan in the Slave Songbook of 1867 and Alison Krauss popularised it in the 2000 film, O Brother, Where Art Thou? The song also is known by alternate titles such as “Down in the Valley to Pray,” “Come, Let Us All Go Down” and “The Good Old Way.” Whatever the title and origin might truly be, this deeply spiritual song is about keeping the faith in a time of darkness.
