Absolutely Exquisite.

[MhytsBurN]

just amazing, is just the most incredible track

[MhytsBurN]

Just amazing endless

[jimmydanza1]

EXCELENTE GRUPO, ES UNA OBRA MISICAL QUE DEMUESTRA EL ARDUO TRABAJO DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN CUANTO A ESCARBAR EN LOS INICIOS DE LA MÚSICA ... Y ES DE ALLÍ SU SONIDO PURO, PROFUNDO, ORIGINAL, MÁGICO QUE TE TRANSPORTA A MUNDOS Y CIVILIZACIONES PERDIDAS, ESTA MÚSICA ES UN ECO DEL PASADO...

a carousel of death; that's the image that comes to my mind...

[tacle51]

Quant la Musique est sincère comme celle là, c'est le monde entier s'en rend compte!

[siouxsieandziggy]

RIP...Charlene, Ron, Ruthanne, Cherie....Bruce....and many more...I miss you all and DCD was our lives

[BCzepa]

the rhythms and repetitious cycles in this one seem to represent something to me, the perpetuating laughable continuation of systematically structured society. induced by fear, will to succeed and obedience (self slavery). Though there is a message i think. to renounce your ways and embrace your heart, to follow what you know is right no matter how much you're mocked for not following the crowd.

[ndg43]

@BCzepa Excellently put!

[PlattHillLover]

A lot of Dead Can Dance music makes me think of the middle ages, dark ages and even further back.............I can almost smell the woodsmoke and hear the crackle of a log fire.

[Spankabuttux]

@PlattHillLover I know exactly what you mean; Aion was like a medieval banquet album; but I must say I prefer 'Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun', as it takes me so much further out of the modern world; beyond history, into unknowable forests and stuff. Aaargh an elf-squirrel!

[lcacwelder]

@PlattHillLover love it. :)

[Dreydisfull]

My soul, my feelings, my loves, my way of living the other side of life: mistical and dreaming. All contains in this song. Simply magical.........

[tbeat03]

I wish I could find more bands that has the same "aura" of this band!

[ESTEBAN77ification]

@tbeat03 Let me suggest ARCANA,though it´s a bit more dark and melancholic,it´s really worthwhile.

[Avidan2007]

I discovered this group this evening (via Lisa Gerrard, whom I discovered this morning), and their work is simply captivating.

[thinkofmusic]

Gorgeous and epic

[fairytaleforest]

these two are seriously beautiful

[ClachBhalg]

@fairytaleforest

I'm beautifuler.

[palehorsepalerider]

song needs to be 5 times as long.

[palehorsepalerider]

life , opening the eyes then closing them, see the whole of it!

[anedonia8]

the only band that i know who can feel me like this...this is not music, is God.

[Franklina718]

A perfect song.

[jeffrecordman1958]

My Favorite Band. Lisa Channels the Divine in us all.

[CALIGVM]

Imposible definir esta música! Me hace llorar de emoción.

[robertexit]

Best One

[attaoui52]

impossible de ne pas aimer

[vergiliotorres]

John Francis Dooley,

a fictional character, a metaphorical figure,

you, me, anyone…

[attaoui52]

une fois encore merci pour la blogueuse Yulunga qui m'a fait découvrir ce formidable groupe

[attaoui52]

fantastique, ils sont incomparables.

[thinkofmusic]

Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard have the voices of Gods

[random007nadir]

No one is ever quite sure what key Brendan Perry sings in, if indeed it's a key at all: but it mysteriously works (I swear no one has been that out-of-tune but sounded that good in the history of music).

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Beautiful and majestic! I've loved Dead Can Dance since 1984. I remain obsessed with "The Serpent's Egg" and "Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun". I love them all, but especially those two.

[Kilchattan7]

all this and "Buck" too....

[Lord0Scorn]

i see that there are others like me yet why can i find no one like u guys near me!? =(

[thinkofmusic]

@Lord0Scorn  Keep looking! :)

[MorganMojoRisin]

brilliant. sends chills down my spine everytime i hear it.

[NIN99Koala]

I'm just listening to this band. I enjoy music that puts a vivid mental image and feeling while I'm slipping away into sleep... This band does just that.

[ulisesricardoc]

Love this great song !!!

[rouronizen]

A good soundtrack to have delightfull wine and sex with someone...i recomend it!

[macubexxxxx]

Esa foto parece al estilo post mortem xD

[Castielover]

This is my favorite song from The Serpent's Egg, their music is so deep and hypnotic.

[pugsly6338]

does anyone have any clue as to what is being said after the amazing music intro ends? that's the part most often in my head out of the entire song.

[CharlotteSnape]

@pugsly6338 John Francis Dooley wipe the sleep from your eyes, and embrace the light. You have slept now for a thousand years, beneath starless nights. And now it's time for you to renounce the old Way, and see a new Dawn Rise...

You can paste that into the google bar for full lyrics ;)

[CharlotteSnape]

@pugsly6338 I just realized you might be talking about the part before the spoken words - I have no idea! I think it might be that made-up language that Lisa also sings (forget what it's called)...

[pugsly6338]

@CharlotteSnape that is exactly the part I am talking about, I know the song by that randomness lol I can't remember the actual lyrics even if my life depended on it lol and they have a made up language to, so does enya her's is called Loxian and the song I remember the most is The River Sings, anyways I'll see if i can google it and find something about the language that lisa made up.

[darkviewman]

superb brings it all back.

[DanielLaszloKovacs]

...for all the travelers, avatars, and the kind:)

[crestfallen999]

omg...

i think i just found my favourite song by dead can dance

[1bottlejackdaniels]

@TheSmackfan101 ...i know how you feel>> i'm a Metal-headbanger, but i listen DCD, Tool or Nine Inch Nails to relax! it's okay and necessary to open his mind for new stuff & other music-styles ...these DCD-songs are my favorites= ulysses, cantara, indus & glorafin ...cheers , man! ...P.S. i like voodoo by Godsmack! :) great video

[TheSmackfan101]

i mainly just listen to GODSMACK, a few metalcore bands, and 2 death metal bands... so this is WAAAAAAAAAY different from what im used to.... but i think i can dig it. its a nice change of pace. its... calming. I mean, i was INCREDIBLY pissed off about something before i listened to this... and now im really chill. thank you so much for posting this. this song literally stopped me from doing something stupid that could have landed me in jail.

[ElRhialto]

Even after 20 years I can still catch myself singing this song to myself. This is beyond doubt DCD's best song and it's an inextricable part of my life.

[Penril666]

@ElRhialto "Just like Ulysses on the open sea

On an odyssey of self-discovery" .....Just Beautyful!!

[gatcaribe]

DCD music is just magic!!!!

[Smeerlappen]

One needs drugs to cope with these etheraal sounds

[methylethyldeth]

@Smeerlappen No you don't. You're just unimaginative.

[FUKENGRUVN]

Ah, this brings back the good old years, and still listening to them :) Thank you for putting this up :)

[RoughEdge82]

every time I've fallen asleep to this song..Weird shit would happen in the middle of the night...No kidding!.. Fken love DCD!! Always will..

"John Francis Drake wipe the sleep from your eyes...."

[jenstar137]

@RoughEdge82 "John Francis Dooley wipe the sleep from your eyes...." :-)

DCD forever

[RobbytheLion]

Is it just me, or is Dead Can Danceinsanely awesome?! This and Enigma are my two favorite songs of theirs.

[marti97180]

One of my favorite song from this band. brendan's voice is amazing..

[TheUggerman323]

More from the early Christian/Pagan alliance I often find that all this of music has a superior undercurrent to, if you did not you then you will probably say who the hell is he singing about.

CTH Leeds

[23libras2gemini]

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[35k0]

DCD = LOVE

[TheVENLOR]

Pure Magic !!!

[yunal35Ca]

My favorite song of theirs! MIss you DCD

[aliesmom11]

takes me back in time......i love you DCD

[Junkwriter]

...

[RobbytheLion]

The sound quality is better than my CD!

Thankyou for uploading.

[xSnipSnipx]

From 0:48 to 1:20 and from 1:36 to 1:50, I would love if they took those separate parts and made songs out of them, just those parts repeating over and over, it's so beautiful.

[zavorra1]

dead can dance and cocteau twins are the soundtracks of my life.......i am sure you guys know what i mean........

[PaganBodhisatva]

I totally know what you mean...

i have everything both bands have recorded....Good to see others appreciate them

[xSnipSnipx]

zavorra1, I love you for saying that and I agree. I play this song religiously EVERY time I take a bath, over and over, because it it the only time I can sit back and think. And this music is so hypnotic and entrancing. When I die, I want this song played at my funeral.

[thomas1as]

@zavorra1 We know what you mean. We are going to see Brendan next Sunday in Poland! Yes, dreams sometimes come true...

[driftwoodbeech]

@zavorra1 Yep me too (and the didgeridoo)

[Bunzypoo]

@zavorra1 I love them too. Does Cocteau Twins sing real lyrics or jibber jabber? I've never really known the truth. Thanks for your time;)

[easytears]

@zavorra1 you know what you mean...

[23moksha]

@zavorra1 If you include This Mortal Coil you have a trifecta.

[jb291266]

From DCD's album "The Serpent's Egg"

[misscoffeecup]

Where is this wonderful music from??? Love it of course...wow

[Snotra]

In the peace of prayer, I see the calm beauty of this chaotic life : Snotra

[leisuresuitlissy1]

Mr Perry, you've been incredible for at least 20 years. Prosit.

[prochnica]

You are taking me into invisible world of my seclusion, you are entangling, you are lifting, you are whirling. And Love You!!! Dead Can Dance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PaganBodhisatva]

Dead Can Dance turns the mind into a parade of phantasmagoria, and without the aid of good psychedelics mind you. Im glad you feel the same way!

[AuthenticCelestial]

utter magic. what a unique and brilliant band...no other really comes at all close. :)

[xSnipSnipx]

I effing LOVE this song of theirs, I can repeat it all day ( I HAVE! ) ... so wonderously entrancing! Like a dreamlike hypnotic state - music! Thank you for putting this up, luv!

[etherealbylar]
