Dead can dance - crescent

[LegionAvalon]

How many bands can be better live than recorded? I can count them on one hand. This is pure genius. :)

[MrSuckmyanus]

Easily better than the studio version!!:)

[hypotriox]

i love dead can dance's music! it is so so beautiful, amazing and breath taking! which live cd is this wonderful song on, does anyone know?????

[MsFocker]

This is my favourite video for Crescent, hope it will stay on youtube forever - I added it to my playlist some two years ago, makes winters easier to cope with :)

[Uther242]

definitely something

[kocourice]

this one is not so bad

[kidrites]

DCD has a knack for making me feel like there is something more than this.

[trotteboy]

I think it is from one of their last live concert (maybe 2005). I not really sure which cd or if it is available :-)

[QMPhilosophe]

One of the best songs and vids on YouTube. What CD is this from?

[HuzzahSquirrel]

favorite among favorites :)

[Onewayticket2]

now we can surely say, that 9 people of that world are faggots

[skybolt71]

@Onewayticket2

those 9 people simply don't understand this music

sometime it takes time to understand and appreciate this kind of music

i know for sure that all their work is wonderfull !!

[mysweetamnesia]

When I listen to DCD I always end up listening to This Mortal Coil afterward.

beautiful

[GreySunday29]

Thanks for the info

[oscarsmudge1969]

This track is on Brendan Perrys solo album called 'Ark'......

[ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

you will never hear this beauty on TV...we live in a fucked up world

[Thatdarndoug]

@ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT

amen, brother

[GreySunday29]

Got all their CDs. How did I let this beauty pass me by?

[amtrakjackson]

@GreySunday29

It's on Brendan Perry's latest CD, but this version is better. :)

[jensajenerator]

One of the song composed when the reunion arrived. Than this song was professional recorded for the new release of Brendan Perry 2010 cd ARK.

[XXxxKimberlyAnnexxXX]

Thank you much for posting this beauty! ~Namaste ♥

[VegaEtereo]

excellent!

[evayalje]

this is my favorite song from dead can dance. i fucking love it.

[lovegodessaphrodite]

Just beautiful and soothing...

[SYNTHAX1]

Dead Can Dance makes sadness beautiful and and alive, if that is at all possible. Check out The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove. Appreciated by old school goths, world music lovers, and exotic strippers everywhere. Lol!!!

[forwardbias]

This music is beautiful, reminds me of those cold, overcast days, walking on the abandoned railroad bed, through the woods. And the images I have seen of Pripyat Ukraine in the Dead Zone. That place is just beautiful in a way. City of 50,000 in 1986, population now... 0. The clock stopped in 1986, the only sound now is from your gieger counter measuring around 150uR/H of radiation. Wont be safe to live there for at least another 500 years.

[MrDwjc1]

So so good, thats real music

[robsonwroc]

new version on brendan's perry new album"ark"is also awesome.

[blackswanxp3]

Ethereal?????......

come on!!!!!!!

[Sonarius1]

Perfect sound!

[ka3beelo]

wowza! the song is....

and the accompanying video makes for a well-matched marriage. One of the best I've witnessed!

[salo7]

Just came from Brendan Perry's live in athens...I hope brendan and liza reunite their inspirations and visit as for a night we'll always remember..

[Thatdarndoug]

brendan sung like he was in pain which=badass

[HidingfromtheDay]

Yeah!

[nelnel2709]

WHAT IS THIS!?

[ImSorryOfficer]

They remind me a little of VAST. 

[gizbar89]

Brendan Perry - best male voice. Lisa Gerrard - best female voice. Are you agree? Because I do:)

[saruchan1111]

just realy freaking awesome!!

[HankaP]

perfection

[bluesacorn]

Don't mess with Dead Can Dance.Live or dead their music animates the universe.

Long live DCD and all their relatives.

[eterea101]

Esta música es tan hermosa, que parece que no es real!!!!

[MTCPORTUGAL]

Brendan's voice is haunted!

May the light be with you! Looking forward to seeing you.

[immolationable]

Świetne. Wielka szkoda, że DCD już nie grają, mogłaby powstać kolejna wspaniała płyta z ich nowych, koncertowych utworów plus jeszcze kilka.

[Alalzia]

γαμισέτα

[miatypissa]

[dano555666]

[celartico]

Fantastic!

[TAKESHISAOTOME1]

Beautyfull

[czernislaw]

beauty-kurwa-full

[aishkylos]

could any song remind a person to be human despite possessing any kind of race,nation?yeah if anyone catch the sound,he cant bleam himself who wants to give up property all he got...well this song is belong to the genre of new age,instrumental music but it calls the spirit of music...niyaz,stellamara,irfan­,sophie solomon,mercan dede,azam ali ...these are all i can recommend to somebody who wants to listen universal music...

[saledeindirimvar]

@aishkylos damn you wrote so perfect!!!

[verdigris1]

just beautiful...

[LordNifty]

Am I the only person curious about how Celtic Frost would sound covering this?

[gyqz]

I'm pretty sure you're alone in that one.....But if they did, how would we call the music??? Dead-can-Metal??? (somewhere between doom-metal and black-metal???) LOL

[Ardethluv2]

Piercing, riveting..........!

[jomccune]

Really great; thanks for sharing!

[KarmaNinja69]

Well, we all know that there is "music", and then there's Dead Can Dance: beyond classification!!

[KarmaNinja69]

Is this new?? I've never heard this song and I have all their cd's--even rare stuff, but I've never heard this. I want!! I want!! It's amazing!!

[Maliaariadne]

This song can only be found on the CD copies from their live concerts. I have the live concert from Seattle where I saw them in 2005 this song is on it but Brendan changes the lyrics a bit on the version I have. This song is weepingly beautiful I can see why you would want it. There are also other rare songs on the concert CD's like Lisa Gerrard singing this haunting lullaby to the audience as the last song of the concert.

[KarmaNinja69]

Yeah, I was looking at their website and they have the best of the North American tour cd where this song is also there. I have downloaded a few song from those cd's but I want the actual cd. I saw them in New York during that tour--it was amazing!! Although I really enjoyed their 'Spirit Chaser' tour in 1996--wow!!

[Maliaariadne]

I saw the 1996 show as well and yes that was so amazing the musicians were astounding and so full of life.

[INITIALSJE]

@Maliaariadne

Saw it to, at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas, Tx/ The Best Show I've ever been to, hands down.

[Belicasx]

All the song... well of good musicians people that now haow to expres theri self transmit somo kind of behaviuor both for mora that i try to noww¡¡

i dont now what fucking feeling have Dead can dance...

[robertexit]

best, saludo from colombia

[aipomm]

It's a style of music called Ethereal, you can check out outher groups in the same style:

Cocteau Twins, and Lycia.

[trotteboy]

I've heard about Cocteau Twins. I'll se that Spotifier have 2 albums from Lycia (Estrella/Empty Space). I'll check it out. Thanks for the tips :-)

[libertyprog]

@aipomm

I kind of would describe Dead Can Dance's music as derived from (or exploring) ancient Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Gaelic and Celtic - either what was, or what we think once was. It's the sort of music you hear in films like "Gladiator", "Kingdom of Heaven", or the TV show "Xena: Warrior Princess".

[bufon63]

@aipomm It is not a style of music called Ethereal! It is beyond category but sadly people need categories. All great music is beyond categorization.

[LucienFate]

they are very talented indeed

host of seraphim is still the best tho so eerie even better when stoned rofl

[BeauFanYou]

This is awesome. Seagulls don't get enough credit for how cool they are, especially with DCD in the background.

[mustaine14]

Dead Can Dance makes most of the bands I listen to sound like posers.

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

Yeah, just one of those bands that make music that really feels important! Another band in a similar vein you should check out is World Of Skin.

[mustaine14]

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely check them out!

[sonicjoydivisonswans]

Also check out Cranes and Later-Day Swans.

[SuperBluehaze]

We are starlight, made from the dust of dead stars. Lingering between darkness and darkness We hang. The crucified ones We hang searching for light in others some times the light is blazing Such times are rare, most times the world is shattered by this mirror such are the distances bewteen us; except a note, a midnight, soft, full moon note. One beautiful song brings us home.

[Itz6ot]

what ever kind of funeral is aranged for me.i want this song to play after the last person takes thier set,so everyone can listen to this.god i love this song,no i love dead can dance so much.thank creater they made and discovered some of the most beautifull music their is.

[warrat300]

I arranged "Eye of the tiger" for mine, and "LOOK THE OTHER WAY" for my tombstone.

[gwarzecha]

In chicago the lyrics were different and twice as long. the best version!!!!!! the recordings are out there.

[hvs1969]

Thanks for posting this song!!

[brunocardoso1984]

amazing music!

[backdrifterliar]

The stars you see in the night sky Have been dead for centuries And sunlight creates the illusion Of life for all these years Now i no longer trust these eyes of mine The heart must speak to me In tongues of forgotten voices In cosmic energy So that i can see The heavens are merely illusions When you build them high in the sky And hell is the final solution For man and his seed design And the chance of life And the more that i see The more life means to me

[Aldrewa]

These lyrics aren't correct, if you listen to the words in the song...

[backdrifterliar]

In the chime of silence of your love

Can't feel in my love

And i need love in my life

Can't feel it in you

And i need love in my, i see life

Can't feel it in you

[megamanzeroXD]

if u want the song i have the mp3

[256JB]

Write in Google "Free YouTube to Mp3 Converter"

[devilsystem]

where i can find this song? please please please

[mnkittel]

What album is this from? I am going nuts trying to find it on anything they've released.

[zenbyo]

If you find out let me know! Perhaps it's on their boxed set?

[wglmb]

It wasn't released on an album. They only performed it live, on their 2005 reunion tour. There are lots of recordings of the tour that will have it.

Also, Brendan Perry (who was one half of Dead Can Dance) will be releasing an album later this year, called Ark, which will include this song

[Thespian01]

I was just talking about this prodigious music and the great feeling being raised with it. Everything else is less important my dear friend.

[Thespian01]

fenomenalno !

greetings from Republic of Macedonia!

[psydelia]

macedonia is greek by the way

[Darknessaddict]

The song is hypnotic, i love it

[BWzGuba]

perfect

[Maliaariadne]

This song was amazing live.. I saw them in Seattle, I have their concert recording of this song, only all of the lyrics are sung in English.. One of the purest songs written, gives me chills.

[Kristinabambina]

this somber sounding song..a portal to my mind.

[drucillamalfoy]

this song is the best thing to happen to my ears.

like...auditory orgasm or something.

this song is so fucking beautiful i can't even stand it.

[Rockera4life]

haha, I very good way to describe it

[DreamSequencer08]

just amazing! Great Song =)

[ultimiarz]

to co dcd robią z dźwiękami to jest po prostu nie do opisania piękny utwór

[tamcon72]

How weirdly the black birds on the rooftop walk compared to the white ones . . . did anyone else notice? Bleak footage goes with the mood of the music, somehow. Good job!

[enguzelhikayem]

video is perpect .. thanx.

[auschwitzu]

how i couldnt know it?

marvelous!

[Itz6ot]

this song is really good its got a soulfull tug to it.

[broketard]

[JdevilsGirl666]

[SUBSTANCIANDEATH]

FREAK`S MY SOUL

[amairgenn]

[manitovska]

[triVLSU]

Dude where can I find the song? I can't find it ANYWHERE. Please help me, I'm in love with it.

[trotteboy]

European Tour 2005 - Disc 1 (live) :-)

[THEMGOROTH75]

Hey man,what's up?Which album has this song been taken from?I mean,there isn't any studio version of it??

[PrincessLadle]

I don't know what album it's from but check the same track out on their MySpace profile to hear it properly... and enjoy!!!

[THEMGOROTH75]

Thanks,but how can I do that please?

[gardenjulie]

I love this song, it's one of my favorites. Do a search for Dead Can Dance Discs (which I am not affiliated with in any way whatsoever). I have this song on the North American Tour disc, however it's a bit slower and I prefer this version. Thanks for posting it!

[THEMGOROTH75]

Hey man what's up?Do you know how can I download this song from limewire?

[saltyOATS]

I love that song.

[Arkanix]

I love both the Video and the Song. They match somehow. I apprecate it. Good show

[gillthursday]

I love birds, and I think your video is great, it goes so well with the music too. I also really like the way you've made the cars go backwards during the traffic clip, adds an interesting dimension to the film.

[trotteboy]

Thanks!!

Good to hear that someone likes the video too :-D (not only the song)

[PorcelainJudas]

i must confess, im not very interested in birds and i didn't look at the video.. but the song is awesome.. hypnotic somehow.
