Dead Can Dance - Severance

[middlewave1975]

yep this is what we call art!

[thatSmoothSkin]

damn is too short! X( love it but i need to play it several times to satisfy myself

[thewildcellist]

The voice crack on "dust" - (...while we remain entrenched within our ways) + the whispering at the end, slay me every time...

[thewildcellist]

Incredible song. Many interpretations, however "Deep Environmental Parable" is where it takes me. Extremely powerful. A soundtrack piece for Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael".

@darkfey1963 Interesting how there is not age limit for the lovers of DCD,Im 14 years on the south side of the world on brasil,and yet I love DCD like all of the others lovers do.

[amandikaloka]

@MrBabalorixabidubidu And I am 22 years, from the North of Brasil! ;)

[63AIONSON]

I have always liked this track it's from The Serpents Egg, as if you did not know or could not read. not being a pansy but I qoute "When all the leaves have fallen and turned to dust, whilst we remain entranced with OUR ways"

[simionTheOne]

great, great sound... & yes bauhaus does an amazing job on this

both groups that need to live on forever

[greenbertie]

Best song ever... I want it to be played at my funeral....

[katrastrophy]

WOW

[0menv0x]

I heard this on song on a Santa Fe radio station called 98.1 THE WAVE back in the very late 80's, I was in a junior in high school and this song transformed me...... for the better

[chavezgodot]

Siempre vigente!

[mirrorpeople999]

wish i could tell you what it was like. hope they play this at my wake. better not mention any names here.

[Sterlin0]

When i listen to this song i think what my father and mother told me about old times where living with little food was so painful and survive was a venture every day.

[Agarthalien]

absolute epic !

[duhduh666]

Bauhaus does an incredible version of this song.

[ElasticMinds]

Does talent like this even exist these days. I just cant help but sit in awe how much of a modern classic this album is. How could you compete with it?

[mahans30]

I was at a show in Chicago where some dude in a cape tried to jump off the balcony onto the stage. What a fruitcake.

[Bigatinius]

Κάθαρσις

[sarakaster]

this song enrichened my life....so much....!

[Clematisian]

……. & after all these years I only just realised Lisa is whispering, "Tomorrow's child is the only child" at the song's close … Even more awesomeness ~ (•8-D

[trezpazz]

@mjauregui1970 hell ya, youre worthy

[93zombie]

amen

[palehorsepalerider]

I will have this played or sung at my funeral

[omgbetch]

I want to live in Brendan Perry's voice. I want to drink Brendan Perry's voice.

[UBIQUEROL]

Miami Vice.

[MrAvinski]

the vastness of time how irelevant time really is

[mick59707]

deze lp heb ik ,nieuwstaat,voor redelijk bod is deze van u!

[afterhourz35]

Incredible after 22 years this still gives me goosebumps and I cant help but listening to it again 2/3 times in a row ... genius :)

Had the luxury of seeing them live once , with another classic The Wind That Shakes The Barley sung by Lisa ...

[EITrollo]

@afterhourz35 who cares dude they are dead now and they cant really dance, hey this cant even get 10k views, it is that irrelevant. the wind that shakes the hair on buffalo's ass, seriously dude go dig graves or something.

[NikolicaSrb]

@EITrollo

go on Lady Gaga videos.

Dead can dance is not dead man dancing... It's means something else...

[tommyroy11]

@EITrollo A closed mouth catches no flies.

[OscarLimaMike]

@afterhourz35 I missed the chance to see them in 89 because of misplaced loyalty.... and I will kick myself forever.... Yes I agree with everything you said.

[sites]

@afterhourz35 Couldn't have said it better myself. I remember listening to this over and over again after being exposed to it twenty years ago. As simple as his style is, this is as poignant & profound as it gets. It never gets old to me. Cheers

[AbsinthianEnvy]

@afterhourz35 I am so jealous you have no idea...I am 22 though heh

[darkfey1963]

@afterhourz35 ohhh...serious envy going on here...I've loved DCD for close on to 22 years myself,and when it's music like THIS,it never becomes dated,never gets old.Timeless.I think I would have to have some kind of serious brain injury and come out of it with a major,if not total,personality change to stop loving this...and even that's iffy,lol.I'm pushing 50 and I suspect I'll love it when I'm 90.

[359lillian]

I would love play this in my funeral...

[collabi]

@359lillian Presumably you'd need someone to play it for you.

[359lillian]

@collabi I know that.

[UBIQUEROL]

@359lillian

I would also.

[9threalm]

Few songs can bring warmth to my soul. This song among a few more songs by D.C.D. do that.

[13101988andoni]

....Victims Of Circumstance....

....kind of scares the shit out of me....reminds about this hole system(life) and death....and how meaningless this whole journey is....for the whole human race....

[asolis8]

This song says it all huh?

[SchmidtnerHans]

sooooooo fucking awesome this track!

[MakQueenMaryJ]

beautiful ....
