David Sylvian - Darkest Dreaming

[TheDanLannon]

Like this if you got this song from CSI when Katherine is crying over Eddie.

[nouralharirii]

Timless piece...

[jenniferjjjx]

One of my favourite songs of all time. I really love everything that Sylvian has done. This particular song reminds me of Ali Murray. You should check him out if you like music that is sad and dreamy and beautiful.

[jameskparos]

David's music completes the images I have in my heart of a world in constant flux...organic and beautiful...

[cargonator]

i found out about this song cuz of CSI way back in the day

[Rachietwinrox]

amazing, truly wonderful

[metallica2313]

la prima volta l'ho fatto con questa in sottofondo...

[mcrhythm2]

Like David so much. Americans don't seem 2 like. Someday I will play drums 4 him. No way to contact him?

[badlotgirl]

Resta con me stanotte guarderemo la luna piena brillare il cielo si sta rompendo io non voglio restare solo con i miei sogni più oscuri tienimi stretto a te il cielo si sta rompendo io non voglio restare solo con i miei sogni più oscuri tienimi stretto il cielo si sta rompendo

[ninovasev]

..how to continue with anything after this song...

[BarryLyndon63]

wonderful ...

[madrigale80]

this song was perfect for las von trier movie "melancholia"..in particular forthe final 10 minutes

[DonVanVliet83]

Pure emotion

[anouar97]

This video compliments the song well.

[TThom2]

a very good night tune fromDavid Sylvian inspired by Eno and King Crimson and himself

[Athenandhermusic]

I wonder around many songs to find one can explain my deep feelings...and finally I come always here...Thanks, David...

[nightchillsxz]

I am honored to be named "Sylvian" after this man.

[thedeeliciousplum]

Such a beautiful and moving composition. I love the colours of Sylvain's voice. Thank you for sharing this.

[jenniferjjjx]

This song is so beautifully breathtaking. David Sylvian is a total genius. Heartbreaking song. One of the most underrated songwriters of our time. If you like this song, you should check out Fragile Bones (Feels Like Home) by Ali Murray, or anything by Ali Murray for that matter. His music is also sad and dreamy and beautiful.

[lemsta007]

Wow ! 

[catosca92]

quando la musica è in grado di emozionare...

[andrewbb9]

This track has always left me so desperately sad yet uplifted at he same time..achingly haunting and a tune that makes you ask all the hard questions.In an age that has lost all sanity and hurtles head long into the abyss,thank god there is still someone out there who can make you still feel and hear beauty.God given talent.

[edgroove7]

@andrewbb9 Your comment sums up exactly how I feel about the state of the world and this ethereal ,melancholy yet addictive tune. It's clear the Sylvian is a man who feels much cheers :)

[orlandobrunetti]

Quando il respiro blocca le parole e le emozioni soffocano il pensiero , si rimane in un limbo dove l'attimo tenta di paralizzarci. Ecco questo è il momento in cui vorrei sentire questa canzone......sempre!

[Brollyhero99TOP10]

Am I the only one who finds this very "King Crimson" like?

[MrDaveboy73]

@Brollyhero99TOP10 i agree.bye.d.

[hippyblood4]

@Brollyhero99TOP10 No

[muse001]

Do you imagine how amazing this art is? Dark bliss.....

[MarinaFerganka]

Stay tonight We’ll watch the full moon rising Hold on tight The sky is breaking I don’t ever want to be alone With all my darkest dreaming Hold me close The sky is breaking I don’t ever want to be alone With all my darkest dreaming Hold me close The sky is breaking

[stripeyninga]

soundcloud . com / jakecaaard / evening

you may enjoy this, it samples darkest dreaming

[sleepingcatt]

The bushes blow despite it all.

[billmac4559]

Truly beautiful and extremely moving. Music to be cherished like an old friend.

[caesarnihil]

è come tirar fuori i miei demoni più profondi



[purenuman]

This is wonderful.

[BunnymanUK]

Lady Ga Ga, Resident Evil..........Stay tonight, we'll watch the full moon rising!

Gorgeous, absorbing, music like this, would not befit the lesserness of mediocrity that the afore mentioned would ever think of hearing.

RIP Mr Karn

[SuperDrumcore]

@BunnymanUK I love Mic Karn... he was such a influence on me as a bass player when I was younger.

R.I.P

[mallaes2006]

hold me close

[38Avril]

Great moment !

[mirjannas]

some songs just take me away...completely...this one is so perfect!

[auchino1s]

beaufilness gives me calm

[corcovado33]

Très douce, très profonde, très belle, magnifique chanson d' un David SYLVIAN extrêmement poétique, inspiré...

Une chanson envoutante, qui vous hante...'' de la plus délicieuse façon et manière qui soit ''...

Comme le soulignait - jadis / il y a bien liongtemps déjà - un titre d' un album de l' une des idoles et références de D SYLVIAN '' Tim BUCKLEY / HAPPY SAD '', David SYLVIAN semble être devenu '' au fils du temps et tout au long de son parcourt original, atypique '' UN TRISTE HEUREUX '' !

[VIRTLANTIS]

LOVE it!...^^

[etioso24]

RIESCE A FARMI DIMENTICARE TUTTO...ANCHE ME

[jeffwalenta]

This song means alot to me

[0noi]

love it!

[ss33988]

what the hell did i just watch?

[Linkchvary]

this song gives me goosebumps

[PawelLopatka]

impeccable. thank you for posting. xx

[Shalek]

There is something very taking about this video, the desolation and cold power lines. Perfect with this song.

[graziella4011]

meraviglioso

[celulinka]

jakie piękne ... ile uczuć...

[JackUK93]

He has done some truely wonderful work since i first searched thru back street record shops in London in the late 70's early 80's as a 14/15 year hunting down japan early recordings. I have followed him intermitently i will admit flitting back from time to time to discover new works of genius..

[PitchWheel]

Genius (Sylvian) + genius (the video author)! Congrats!

[tibbzscrum]

I must have watched this a hundred times over the last 6 months, especially when I need to wind down, I never thought that a video of electric pylons at dusk could make me feel so peaceful. Maybe its the swaying grass or the feeling of nothingness. It climbs right inside my soul.

Somehow it works, the perfect combination of beautiful music and scenery.

[hagstromman345]

whatever instrument that takes a solo towards the middle.... breaks me.

[darshan06]

@hagstromman345 It's an Armenian instrument called the duduk, played by the master of the instrument Djivan Gasparyan who is credited as a co-writer of the song. The man is an unbelievable musician (not unlike David) and the only other player as highly regarded in the world is Levon Minassian. Check them both out! Google them and you might be surprised the places you've heard them play before.

[darshan06]

@hagstromman345 - The instrument is doudouk from Armenia, as played by Djivan Gasparayan. He's also credited as the co-writer of the song. The man is a giant of the instrument and only one other player is regarded nearly as highly-- Levon Minassian. Try Googling Gasparyan and you'll probably find that you have heard him before as he's played on many soundtracks (Gladiator if I am not mistaken) and with the likes of Peter Gabriel to name a few.

[hagstromman345]

@darshan06 Thank you for the response. Most informative! I am always looking for new and interesting instruments :).

[respawin]

reminds me of the 5th level of flowers

[emmarijn]

David... if you ever read this...Thanx so much for this one! It's magic.

I also love the vid that goes with this.

I was listening to this for the first time when I was worried about a few very important things for me in life. And I felt calm afterwards...

Now things are different, for the good. And this gives me strength and joy.

I love what music can do for me. For all of you out here.

[oran3e2]

Amazing.

[2000metamorphe]

dire que Sylvian est si peu connu... L'un des seuls authentiques génies de la pop, ou de l'ambient... Gardons-le secret, rien que pour nous !

[yannquix]

Most awesome deep and mysterious thing i've been able to see in this short life of mine...

[MisAnnThorpe]

@yannquix Must have been very short indeed!

[yannquix]

@MisAnnThorpe Yes...

[followurdreams1000]

i remenber hearing this on csi's heather box 2 ahours episode, very soothing, possibly the most relaxing song i ever heard : )

[deathgore]

a 6 persone nel mondo non piace la vita

[worldcitizen63]

stupenda!!!

[cippocigno]

Come fa a non piacere questa canzone... io non capisco!

[73kdt]

6 people are retarded and probably think people like lady ga ga are talented as a pose to this genius...

[Pierpaolio]

@73kdt oh come on, lady gaga isn't so bad. I mean, it's simply different and not brilliant as this track, but is powerful in her weird way.

Anyway this track is wonderful.

[bathotic]

@73kdt Have you seen "Videophone"? Because that songs is off the hook" the and the video is as avant garde as as as as. I might just be ought of my depth".

[kafkatastic]

@73kdt I love David Sylvian, but if you're going to call people retarded then you should really learn how to spell "opposed."

[73kdt]

@kafkatastic : Yeah thanks for that... When you free next? I have a short story for you to proof read, I'm sure you WILL have the time !! (Bet your an English teacher aren't you...) My grammar must be all over the place in this response as well as my spelling! X

[spermini]

@73kdt Why do you think Lady Gaga is not talented? Realy - I bought Dead Bees On a Cake in 1999 (and still absolutely LOVE it since then), but i also have whole GaGa discography. She's the best thing in music since Madonna. Give her a chance.

[irishcowboy42]

@spermini well said man, its just the same with Justin Timberlake, a very talented dude with no respect, snobbery i think lol

[saxtommy]

@73kdt 9

[mazzZificashun]

@73kdt  i guess it'll blow your mind that i like lady gaga AND this then?

[NittaSuper]

Sublime.

[Mottie3311]

Terrible, this guy should eat some RED pepper !

[ninchenco1]

<3

[1951sandro]

bellissima, era anche in un film di Verdone (suo grande estimatore)

[999Flame999]

Johanna,our song, i love you and only the 2 years left and i can be with you,3 years after us,just hold on my love o.O

[Heli2112]

This song comforts me.

[maria280187]

chiudo gli occhi e credo di volare in un infinito blu libera da tutti e tutto... l'adoro.

[caesarnihil]

@maria280187 non li chiudere, che questo video è poesia pura.

[colinbluewood]

4 people are hurt inside

[PuIIHarder]

@colinbluewood aren't we all?

[colinbluewood]

@PuIIHarder idk if u know wat i know what i mean. im talkin bout the dislikes. but yea well said, every human is hurt :/

[PuIIHarder]

@colinbluewood I know what you meant man :) Thanks for replying though, gave me a chance to listen to this awesome song again

[graziella4011]

quando ascolto questa canzone mi sento in un altra dimensione fuori dal mondo !

[MrBirdy2010]

[caesarnihil]

devi essere una gran persona prog, davvero.

[souq]

goosebumps every time.

[sarahkasapna]

can i tell you how memorable this video is for me? it seems i commented here 2 years ago... but still i think of this footage every time i hear the song AND every time i take a walk outside at night and see a scene like this one. so very well done.

[shbakaien25]

where can i download this?

[colinbluewood]

i honestly can't describe this song. its like when you hear it and see this video its like you are in a dark place though its peaceful like everything is gonna be fine.

[Ashabarala]

sounds alot like ulver... I wonder who came up with this style first...

(listen ulver - eos)

[kikocicos]

Sylvian.

[sONIaDancE]

commovente e carica di emozioni che giungono fino alla parte più recondita dell' anima :')

[bananaempijama]

i heard this over and over when my heart was broken.....

[raccoonroll]

always brings me to tears.

[TRISTANEUGENE]

SEMPLICEMENTE PERFETTO!

[MrYeah2468]

Amazing! *___*

[LadyKubrick]

meraviglia..

[wistaria2010]

So beautiful.

[heyjeySigma]

this reminds me of that music in Resident Evil 4 where you're at a safe point...

[Faceinthesun]

Thank you David Sylvian for exploring so truly the world of soul.

Darkest dreaming.....That's how the world would be for me without love and childrens.

[arianaalioth]

CHRIS. 

[jonni45]

Fookin gud stuff.......

[Countzir0interrupt]

What is the muted background voice saying in between verses?

[YannBurg]

@Countzir0interrupt

Keep silent and let the music for what it is

[irishcowboy42]

For sheer soundscape and depth this is unmatchable........Beautiful

[V4Vaffanculo]

Simply closer to hte perfection....

[DasWaldkind]

Wohin gehen wir? Immer nach Hause. (Novalis)

Where are we going? Always home.

[animma1]

Thanks for shared!

[bc1050]

a masterpiece of music

[xxxCheeryCherryxxx]

I watch this almost every morning :). I love Mr. D.S.

[skrns]

[hanan346]

Un sonido perfecto,envolvente....

Merçi.

[akuyery66]

A very nice song a very nice sound..i love dreaming..i love darkness..

[rastacr0]

where can I find this track? what album?

[23sugarcane]

@rastacr0 Hi there, "Darkest Dreaming" is the last track on David Sylvian's album "Dead Bees on a Cake".

[penssininkas]

nice video

[albertiusmaximus]

I've been fortunate enough to follow David Sylvian from his shouty/punky/New Romantic days of Japan, right through to the accomplished and captivating artist he has become. He is very under-rated and hasn't had the acclaim he deserves, but to those who know, he's sheer brilliance and genius.

[silviaclick]

...........la notte e' buia.....questa preghiera silenziosa....un invito ad abbracciarci.....a sperare........meravilosa...

[MissInDiavolata]

stupenda

[TheMrfabulouss]

@MissInDiavolata aggiungo anche FaBuLoUsA!

[itosanjesusprpriedad]

great song...Hugs!

[videocanone]

Wounderful sonorisity, if that is a word ! if not, I think it describes the beautiful textures and sonic landscapes Dave has created in this one ... what can I say, the man has impecable taste and knows how to bring it to artistic fruition in music, and that is no mean feat ! Thanks Dave ! and thanks to the poster for posting it !

[golferman2004]

If my very soul could sing, this is it!

[bolognesita]

capolavoro

[hgenevieveable]

Wow, this song is so beautiful. It just makes me want to cry with joy. Thank you for a brillant audio experience that will never be forgotten from melodies in my heart

[marcymarcish]

....habe david 2003 in Frankfurt (Alte Oper) gesehen und gehört. Zweite Reihe Mitte

und es war eine Offenbarung. Seine Stimme ist live so nah noch besser als auf CD.

Nachzulesen in der damaligen Konzertkritik der FR, der Musikredakteur saß

neben mir. Habe ich aber auch erst nach Lesen der Kritik bemerkt.

COME MORNING

[mallaes2006]

amazing  :)

[ghepardo77]

this song is really beautiful.

compliments for the video, joins the big with the song.

that calm and harmonious movement of the ears is worth a thousand pictures

[zackjmack]

Mid song and end of the song there's an instrument playing and you can hear words behind it. I'm trying to hear what it says and what instrument it is. I dont know the instrument but I think it says:

i don't ever wanta be alone

with all my darkest dreaming

hold me close

the sky is breaking

[glueylouie]

one of the original and great artists.Still making groundbreaking music 35 years later.He should be up there with Bowie as a rare talent.

[verza82]

Bellissima canzone.

[maria280187]

I heard this song for the first time as a soundtrack in a movie ...

I was ecstasy ... It is reductive say that is beautiful...

ps The movie is MA CHE COLPA ABBIAMO NOI :)

[Capogiux]

@maria280187 anche io l'ho sentita lì e ci ho messo mesi per trovarla!

[maria280187]

@Capogiux anche io!!! ;) alla fine, dato che non riuscivo a capire di chi fosse questa canzone, ho ''cercato e trovato'' il film per le solite vie traverse...e ho visto tra i titoli di coda... ho sentito tutte le canzoni finché non l'ho trovata :)

cmq a parte la canzone anche il film è davvero bello... o meglio a me è piaciuto molto... poi verdone è davvero unico :).. ciaooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Capogiux]

@maria280187 si il film è piaciuto molto anche a me :) a suo tempo lasciai perdere ma l'ho risentita qualche giorno fa anche in una puntata di csi e da lì sono riuscito a ricavare il titolo... :D ciao!

[maria280187]

@Capogiux Si è vero... l'ho sentita pure io in una puntata di csi las vegas... se non sbaglio :)

[kiesarij]

brilliant tune, love <3 !!!!

[Kairos34]

where are that power lines?

[alessio260380]

era la nostra canzone...hai tradito anche questa...la terrò sempre e solo per me...

[alessio260380]

[JxAttack]

fucking amazing!!

[demon001]

He is my favorite artist, If you look at my profile and the music I have favorited You couldnt guess it. I have most of everything he has ever done, and I'm in my 20's. id discovered him about on the soundtrack to jim carreys the number 23.

He is a true musician, His arrangements ( and I know he does get help with them) Is absolutely stunning.

beautiful beautiful stuff.

[sylvian66]

What song by Sylvian was in 'Number 23' i've never seen the film and never knew he had contributed? i've loved his work since I was 14 and that was many years ago!

[KajiCarson]

That was "The Banality of Evil", the song he did under his "Nine Horses" label. One of my favorite songs of his.

You're fortunate to have discovered Sylvian at such a young age. The man is a national treasure to the human race. =D
