Dead Can Dance - Toward the Within - "Rakim"

[skylilly1]

no, it's not just you! I especially enjoy this song with wine..so...

[amandikaloka]

Is it just me that thinks that this song is kind of sexy?

[Medic1Insignia]

What is the name of the instrument Lisa's instrument?

[VNVgirl]

this video will never leave my side forever. my ex gave it to me and i thought he was just being nice but then i watched it and its beautiful. its mine. thank you dcd. you made a terrible break up not so bad. your music is simply angelic to me. it speaks to me when i find no one else can. comforting. this video reminds me why i like people and why life is worth living. your videos are pretty too very much so! hugs

[thorns2345]

I'm having a hard time trying to describe how I felt watching this video. I knew DCD were pretty good, but I don't think I was expecting something on this level. Easily one of the best videos I've ever seen.

[cutjack242]

39 people obviously don't dance. At least my bones will shake when I hear this.

[AlienZygote010]

@cutjack242 No, they are just douchebag eminem, ICP, or Britney Spears fans. This music isn't fake and mass produced for mass idiotic consumption, so they dislike and move on to a Shinedown video or whatever the hell squares listen to these days.

[AlperKongen]

omg robin williams singing! :O

[FreedomFromYouIn2006]

That hammered dulcimer makes my day.

[novy1968]

...W O W !!!!!!!!

[cuteirishboy1]

this is the best song ever

[hfraven3]

Like I'm molting my soul and breathing in something new, an amorphous spirit of ineffable power and beauty. Come, Dead Can Dance, I will see you in 2012. Sing on!

[MrOoojoeooo]

wow

[LunaIsisArt]

I love it <3

[skylilly1]

They both have such incrdible voices..this song blows me away

[ranka35]

they make great music!

[mcleod1andyou2]

great



[shakuhachme]

the first time i ever wanted to play music to help other people 'feel' was while listening to this album...it ranks among the top three pieces of art an album has ever ranked in my world....from beginning to end it is seemless...they understand what it is from within....what it is to listen....what it is to express....they are true Musicians and know how to make the world resonate with their Sound

[psalms69er]

Music paints pictures and often tells stories. All of it magic and all of it true.

All of the pictures and all of the stories, all of the magic and music is you -John D.

This song is alive!!

[katymirabeth65]

Sheer bliss!



[jeffrecordman1958]

The Best Fucking Band on the Planet EVER.

[aioverride]

huh........it would seem i have found someone who understands the each sound and how they fit together :D......each thing easily melds to create a whole sound, its like those 3D paintings ....this one almost accidently slips into the 3Dness....lol

[epicureus314159]

nothing really needs to be said except that i have often dreamed over more than a decade of resting in Lisa Gerard's arms on a cold night with a hot cup of tea....you people were never a band per say, but a movement, an organization of entities that moved us out of our bodies in our spirits...what you've done is ETERNAL

[Spoonface370]

The contrast between Brendan Perry's bearing and presence on stage and his gentleness and shyness in the interview is very interesting.

[spkenn36]

Moved to tears...

[ragasyiam]

eyes closed, hands open ,ancient time to come.. and i fly ..over to sky...

when first man started to paint..

[Steven1000W]

ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME...THIS ALBUM PUT DCD ON THE MAP! inspiring!

[sartoris65]

Simply amazing.

[Apxovtac]

Its phonetic, the language.

[ZobaK1]

I know this artists almost about 30 years, lovely music..

what language are they singing, beside english?

old celtic one or what?

[WeHaveExplosive]

@ZobaK1 I think it's phonetic, or Glossolalia type singing.

[jjobie]

And the good news is, they're touring again in 2012 :) :) :) :)

[pen64]

I was in the Audience that Night... The only time I've ever heard an L.A. crowd -indeed, any crowd- stunned to silence!

[Apollonius0fTyana]

Words can't even begin to express the emotions that this song elicits from me.

[SnookRS]

this is like the best folk song of all times <3 <3 <3

if only I could have heard it live just for once in my life :(

[azgeodude]

I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic on their brief reunion tour, and it was a frickin' religeous experience that I will never forget. I have everything DCD has ever put out (minus a few of the bootlegs available), as well as the solo stuff from both. If you don't have it, get it.

[AMBERSWEET96]

priceless, ive been listening to this band for 20 years and they never get old. .

[aga777kat]

odlot.....

[Elidoransgar]

You know it's serious when there are TWO bongo players.

[Vienna7]

Yup, one of my favs! Too bad I didn't get to this concert as I was living in SoCal when they performed this in SM.

[SupportTheFreedom]

This is Power ;-P

[MrHugosolano]

dead can dance 4ever.....!!!!!

[Ariadnnae]

I think she's an angel who came here to teach us some things.....

[diggerby126]

Wow - love it!

[Apxovtac]

Im not a emotive man actually im really cold got almost no emotion barely cry for emotions,only dead can dance can make me feel that way.

[MummaButtons]

There are no words to describe how much i love this song :)

[MLichtwardt]

Makes me feel alive every time I hear it....back to our roots as humans.

[alexdubbeat]

trippy stuff))))))))))



[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

This is the cleanest live performance of a song live ever...

[matschinsky2]

far-out that is

[AtticsToEdenMusic]

Euphoric.

[mrpedoxxx]

what is that instrument called ? sounds awesome !

[spirha77]

@mrpedoxxx greek traditional organ called sandouri

[wingdead]

Lisa is Mother Nature incarnate. Brendan's the Moon, controlling the tide.

[janotosinnumeros]

I'd never seen an interview of Lisa Gerrard before. She's so lovely, she speaks like Tori Amos, or Kate Bush, or PJ Harvey, or any of those girls yo just looooove to listen to in interviews

[frauschuhmann]

Ich habe selten ein Duo gehört, dass besser harmoniert. Dieses Stück bleibt in meinem Herz.

[Almaenpena17]

I can listen it over and over again and never get bored!

[ppauly]

DCD at thier best. However, I bet they're both a bad shag.

[tbop42]

I adore this whole concert

[cozmicat]

one of the greatest bands of all time. i saw this tour at the michigan theatre in ann arbor, michigan, i wanted to get up and dance so bad but the band requested that everyone remain seated during the performance.

[Mattteus]

I still have Toward the Within on VHS...

[protle]

Que grandessss. Ojala algun dia pueda verlos en directo, aunque lo veo muy muy dificil. ;P

[heatherism82]

I am in awe; this must be the billionth time I have heard this song but it puts me to my knees every time.

[29ork87]

une véritable invitation au voyage...je ne m'en lasse pas!

[WillAwor6]

I love the haunting atmosphere of this piece, just lovely *_*

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[zeibra]

can i have the complete lyrics of this wonderful song?

[jokarion]

it is just power... ty!

[foxfoobar]

Oh wow, the begining sound a bit like a level of Painkiller! Sweet!

[oSEIDOSHIo]

Why do we fear death? Towards the within. There is nothing to fear. We just dance...

[Hysenthlay]

I LOVE DCD, one of the most amazing musical experiences I have had the joy to see live. Looking forward to catching them again in 2012! I will be waiting in line at the Paramount in Seattle for you DCD...

[stabinferno]

I'm walking through the desert, i approach to a big oasis and i enter in there. Weird creatures stalk me between the trees and branches. Then, the silhouette of a brown woman baffles me, inviting me to follow her shadow. Then, the music stops, the video is over and i open my eyes. I click "play" again, i close me eyes and i begin a new journey.

[oSEIDOSHIo]

@stabinferno RED BOOK by C.G Jung. He's been there too 8)

[CadaverJunky8]

On the risk of sounding like an ignorant fuck .. what language is this?

[TamzieWamzie]

@CadaverJunky8 It's not a real language. She sings freely, uninfluenced by the "prisons of language". It's a lot like "scat singing" in jazz music. Her voice is an instrument. :)

[MarkusCarkass]

@CadaverJunky8 - no ignorance,,,it's not a language, it's gibberish. Lisa (female vocalist) explains that during an interview in the video. Pretty cool though, huh? :)

[AstrogildoFifonildo]

Even the dead can dance with this wonderful song.

[QueenOfFlyingHearts]

It's wonderful to be exploring a gentler kind of music as I study for classes.

[cheapy2006]

jesus christ, i never get tired of this song

[darkfey1963]

@cheapy2006 oh god.Me neither.When you compare this to most of what's on the radio these days,it makes you wonder.Not that there isn't anything good out there,'cause there is,but that THIS isn't out where more people can hear it and love it...I'm just glad you CAN find it on youtube.

[fatcatbuzz]

@cheapy2006 Yeah, I listen to this song over and over again sometimes.

[ranka35]

@fatcatbuzz me too i can't get enough of it!

[EndorPheonix]

Unreal workout track.

[Deepdesert]

On Brendan Perry's forum, also on DCD's page on Wikipedia, there is supposed to be a new DCD album and tour in 2012

[madammevourdalak]

34 DISLIKES?! IMBECILES.

[bassplayerthebest]

@madammevourdalak They prefer Lady Gaga certainly.

[RougeReno]

Esta música realmente te transporta

[zephoros]

If every person on our planet would listen to Dead Can Dance just once we would have instant world peace.

[Rodristation]

decir me encanta, es poco.

[bassplayerthebest]

There is only one word to describe it: GREAT!!!

[tomtom5042]

its great....

[ElizeuszOFM]

This is real music! I am listening them for over 15 years and I am not bored! Greetings from Poland! Pozdrawiam z Polski!

[Castorios]

I listen to this every night before going to bed, so soothing. Real artists.

[M3T4LK4R1N4]

I used to listen to DCD and read david gemmell books. Now everytime i hear/read one i think of the other. :)

[ArsensMusic]

Wtf, I was listening to electro house music and then when I tried looking up the song on Tunatic it took me to this? Turned out I liked it and stopped listening to Electro House... I wonder how Tunatic knew ... o.0

[trafico549]

nothing is better than DCD and 420 lol

[erol12345]

33... who cares . this potion of peace only gives me positivity and serenity.

[celineND]

Lisa Gerrard has the most incredible voice in the world.....Magic.

[occhidininfa]

To the 33 who "do not like", sorry darling, you do not really understand what music is. This is Music, M capital letter, you cannot even imagine what you loose by do not understading what Dead Can Dance can represent. Song, music, notes, melody, armony, life.

Antonella - Italy

[Nexoric]

GOOSEBUMPS GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!! SHIVERS SHIVERS! AMAZING!!!!!!

[darkfey1963]

I love it,love it,love it..Trace,we parted ways and it was for the best,even more so for you,but you brought this band's music into my life and it's a gift that keeps on giving.thank you.

[Cotterized1974]

Is it just me, or is the hammered dulcimer the most incredible instrument in the world!? I love it.. DCD has done so much to bring it back to life! Just amazing stuff!

[gagarciaLuis]

Hermosa!



[TooDarkOutThere]

Anyone who dislikes this music has a dead heart

[Vorobey799]

Машина времени придумана......Физики отдохните.Не там ищете.......

[Vorobey799]

Машина времени придумана......Физики отдохните.Не там ищете.......

[farellano]

Con Ustedes ........Dead Can Dance!!!!..Pff En Un momento de Mi Vida esta Cancion la Traia Clavada!! (escuchenla y no empicen que si esta fumada etc etc) jaaaa ok si un poco

[twunta]

I used to have a hard time thinking of my favorite band when I'm asked.... Now I have my answer. These guys have kept me zen for almost 20years now.

[hth2mil]

Awesome!!!!

[ryszardtomasz71]

takie troszke dno

[touduch]

@ryszardtomasz71

twoje życie to dno

[davidannable]

At 5:15, there is sublime symmetry when the camera pulls back and we see the whole band moving together and producing the most beautiful music. This is DCD at their absolute best and I believe this represents the absolute apogee of their craft together. It features the world-beat sound that they are famous for, that crushing, tribal percussion that is so intoxicating, and Perry and Gerrard both lend their enthralling voices to the song which rounds it out perfectly.

I love this song.

[Chesterlinkin41]

INCREÍBLE! Incredible! (From Venezuela... De Venezuela. UN FAN!)

[dorothysoong]

Je fond !! 

[jetaris]

Mr. Perry looks like an old friend that died in 2008, when i see him i remember of my friend.. :) he was a boyfriend of my mother and was like the father that i didn't have for me when i was a child .. greetings.

[bardero23]

Lisa Gerrard have some strange araund her, something mistic

[silverwolf2061]

beautiful

[erikkz]

2:44 Percussionist can dance.

Great song, epic live performance! I have this album and I play it almost every day.

[0menv0x]

Brendan Perry's vocals are the most beautiful and haunting vocals I have ever heard, this man is extraordinary!!!!!!

[seirbeach]

How amazing is this?



[HGXLK]

my friends this is called MUSIC

[JacobMorrisNinetyTwo]

@HGXLK Thank god you reminded me, I thought it may have been a painting.

[HGXLK]

@JacobMorrisNinetyTwo oh you're very welcome

[vanebanshees]

bellísimo

[jfgp00]

holy fucking piece of epic music blowing the fucking senses outta mah brains bro I can't even... no, I can't even.

[jorrrge]

If I were a theater, I'd want Dead Can Dance to be the last thing I ever heard. Brilliant, amazing, unparalleled music.

[pinitepunk]

Listened to this song last summer as I was rolling up to the pyramids of Giza. VERY spiritual experience is all I can say... one of those memories that will last a lifetime.

[latiatia2007]

what's the lyrics in original langage ?

[EsbenFHansen]

@latiatia2007 opening vocals are Gibberish, it is made up, think of it as vocals as an instrument.

[latiatia2007]

@EsbenFHansen thx for you answer

[cheesepuffpie]

What language is that?

[MaxSynths]

What is the instrument played by her??

[JulietsMan]

@MaxSynths hammered dulcimer

[MaxSynths]

@JulietsMan Thank you! ;)

[virgo47tp]

sounds like portuguese?



[ButtOxe]

bravo

[shipbuilder10]

glad 30 did'nt like it, gave me a light for my spliff.

[Klasindra]

I love this song! It'd been a long time since I listened to Dead Can Dance, I'd forgotten how much I enjoy their music. Thank you for posting the video! :3

[harassed09]

That drummer was having fun.

[Klasindra]

@harassed09 I thought he was Animal from the Muppets for a second there. xD

[strangelittleboy]

DCD is one of the most unique, cultured, mysterious and profound bands in the history of music.

[gipoquinto]

FANTASTIC!

[galateamuse]

farsi



[suezz99]

in what language is he singing ?

[grzlor222]

@suezz99 celtic

[wglmb]

@grzlor222 I thought it was glossolalia?

[Qaoz]

@wglmb It is. It's not Celtic or Gaelic, it's glossolalia.

[Agarthalien]

Exceptionnellement beau, j'adore !

[ytcarol]

Love their singing voices. Funny, Brendan has a rather lightweight speaking voice, not at all suggesting the depth and power of his singing voice. But who cares. I'm going to see him sing tonight in D.C. - wow. Tickets only $40 at this venue, whereas some on the web are listed at $310.

[condessarte]

an absolute joy

[zeta1ret]

Lovem! I like to walk around the city late at night with the ol head phones on...listening to D.C.D....and various other 'atmospheric' tune!

[pomarancza2012]

kosmos...

[HGXLK]

I hope my future wife has lisa gerrard's voice

[sunflowereye]

This song will bring you to tears of blessed joy. My spirit is renewed each time I listen. Dead Can Dance please return to us. I've never heard you perform live. Your amazing sound is still needed here.

[TheSCOTCHSOLACE]

As good as music gets! Thank you for posting this!!! Wonderful!!!!!

[gellipirelli]

ich bin tief beeindruckt

[sxolocotzi]

Sorry I don't understand... What he says after "Favoured son Turn in the garden Shades of one Sins forgotten ..."?

[karmapedrun1]

Introduced to DCD on a small Scottish retreat island by a tibetan monk to be, very much apart of my spiritual path. Transcendant. Blessings and Thanks, KarmaPedrun.

[dennis2071]

The official music of my spiritual transformation ! :) PEACE

I would have given my right nut to be at this concert
