Song to the Siren, a song of a generation

... or should I say a song of generations?
Here's the most known version of the Song to the Siren:

It was firstly known 40 years ago, after the releasing of the stunning cover by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins for the British music collective This Mortal Coil in September 1983. Here's a previous version performed live by the Cocteau Twins:

The song was made by Tim Buckley (Jeff's father) over a poem from his friend Larry Beckett and firstly broadcasted 55 years ago, on March 25, 1968, in the final episode of The Monkees TV show. It was only released much later, in 1970 in Tim's album Starsailor.

After This Mortal Coil's version, Song to the Siren became a cult song included in many movie soundtracks like the David Lynch's Lost Highway and finally, it was covered by more than 60 artists, including John Frusciante, Sinéad O'Connor, Bryan Ferry, Robert Plant...
And also Larry Beckett, the writer of the poem, recorded a version with The Long Lost Band, presented in 2016.
