I love this song, it is so dark and beautiful. A young woman is drowned by her older sister, pushed into the water where she is weighted down by her heavy gown. Younger asks older to help, but older says she'll only do it if she can have the youngers true love. The girl dies, and becomes a swan, a common symbol of death in those times. The swan/girl is then made into a harp, which is taken into her father's hall, where it sings alone to tell her family how she died.
I love the sound of the guitars in this, it just adds a little extra intensity somehow.
