Glossolalia (from Greek glossa γλῶσσα "tongue, language" and λαλεῖν "to talk") is the vocalizing of fluent speech-like but unintelligible utterances, often as part of religious practice. Its use (including use in this article) sometimes also embraces Xenoglossy
@ranka35 I believe they're singing in Arabic, not sure which dialect as there's more than 50 of them. That's one of the things DCD does, sing in the original language. They've got songs in Greek and Olde English too. They probably have Gaelic and Pictish as well.
@EarthquakeMachine Don't worry, I'm sure you can find an LMFAO video somewhere on here. You don't need to have any taste, you don't need to think, you don't need to take an interest in anything. Don't worry.
if this music was to be food.then my gluk is bursting.i only hope my big intestine will digest every morsal.long live richard loosemore for showing me this great band
Please tell me, this song originally comes in this live album? Thanks for the video. This song is like a personal revolution or something like that, but at the same time is so good to meditation and peace. It's like a truly growth "toward the within" :P, anybody know what "rakim" means?.
hey i would really appreciate if you were to check out my channel im just a rapper that's trying to make it and give people good quality music to feel and listen to
@nodeterin Me again... =) ... I look around In some forums and seems to be a Yangquin, the chinese version of the persian santur. The dulcimer is the europeand version.
Is the "sound" of non-language voice instrumentation the same between unrelated New Age groups? Mmmmm. This could get interesting! Is there a published manual yet, on using the voice as an instrument when devoid of intelligable speech? Could this musical element be combined with, say, a nose harp or a stump fiddle, and synthesized, to create completely new musical variations? These are heavy questions, and the musical community needs the answers! And, do lah mor la ah la do cha de choo, too! :)
@RipYourTongueOut at least there are more people who understand this music.. the only thing that amazes me is how those nitwits miraculously find this song and deliberately vote "no-like"
i love his voice...its strong and powerful yet at the same time its very soothing and calming... i also love the interaction of both parts of the singers a very well combination
to all you dislikes.....grow up! if you dont like it then why the hell are you bothering? They are a great band...... I saw them in 92 and it was terrific...so go blast a dislike out of your ass and get the fuck off Dead Can Dance Videos! YOU ARE BORING!!!!!!!!!
How the FUCK is this trash part of the Eric B. and Rakim set? REALLY?
I am not one to hate on songs like this, in fact in enjoy all kinds but this...although they may be VERY talented with their instruments, this is a very bad song.
Just listen to any other group that tries to do a cover of this and you learn how awesome DCD and this effort is. Pulled off live in one take is truly amazing!!!
:: i saw 'em in '96 during their "Spiritchaser" tour . . . unfookingreal. Thank you, BrinkOfEmptiness, for uploading this gem. Their music is truly one-of-a-kind. Namasté ~ (•8-D
Lisa is playing a Yang Ch'in,a Chinese version of a dulcimer.It has 4 bridges and is tuned differently making it harder to play (Thank you Dizzi Dulcimer ;-))
@StrawbarieGashes I think you're getting things a bit mixed up... I just Googled "dead can dance vilnius" and it turns out Brendan Perry, not Dead Can Dance, played in Vilnius... and that was on April 3, not March 3.
Again, as I said, Dead Can Dance haven't played a concert since 2005, and they're not releasing a new album. Brendan Perry is touring this year, not Dead Can Dance.
I am in love with them...
