A perfect song for a winter's night.

Exactly. And maybe a little Andy Williams? Cool stuff.

I could do without this. Is this a fair representation of their music, or does it all suck anus bubbles?

more dcd please!

I sort of got a Morrison meets Tony Bennet or Frank Sinatra feeling from it. Hauntingly enjoyable. Govi wrote:

This is one of my least favorite Dead Can Dance songs... but I love the band so much. So COOL to hear them on RP!!

Saw these guys place live recently and was rather under-whelmed at their perfunctory performance. On stage Brendan is the more animated and probably could hold a show on his own. Lisa is the more stoic but has an astonishing voice. Band was good but the show was very tightly scripted.

Kinda ironic. My g/f and I broke up like 5 days after I posted that. So.. yeah.. I guess she wasn't the one for me... *shrug*... I guess the Dead Can Dance thing shoulda warned me...

Wow. I haven't heard this in years. Reminds me of an old boyfriend... HEART-ACHE! Thanks for sharing RP. Bitter-sweet.

I have the 'Spleen and Ideal' CD, and like it a lot. This on the other hand, sounds awful. I will give it another listen before writing it off.

Did you know that in French reading the letters DCD means "Deceased". Spooky.

Based on that, I just figured out, after pondering for a number of years, why DCD is so popular in L.A..... that's a good reason why........ RIP Jim. This band's music is beautiful......

Now this should segue into "Loom of the Land" by Nick Cave. That would be perfect.
Or something from This Mortal Coil

I've always thought so too. DCD lyrics are better in my opinion.

Dead Can Dance.. ANY DCD, is so wonderful to hear on RP! Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry are a duo of unequaled beauty, skill and ability to raise the ghost of the Mystery. Into the Labyrinth is one of their finest CD's.
Posted 18 years ago by jadewahoo    [ Reply ]
Not their bestest work ever, although I do love the band. For those interested, A Passage in Time, gives a very good accounting of their very significant skills, both as song writers and performers.

Dead Can Dance. Great Band, Great Song. I can't remember the name of the girl from the band but she worked closely with Hans Zimmer when creating music for "Gladiator".
HER NAME IS LISA GERRARD.

I love this. This is a great album. The first time I heard it, I thought it was Sinatra singing. He couldn't be that trippy.

Dead Can Dance on RP! Far out. Toward The Within (live) is fantastic.

Thesis: Dreamy synth music only appeals to people who are taking drugs or trying to have "profound sex".

Hearing any DCD is worth mention. Another solid tune from them. Thanks, Bill.

Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard do Dead can Dance for a long time now I most like "Dead can Dance", "Spleen and Ideal", and "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun", al about their first albums. "The Serpents Egg" ain't bad either, but shows a little change. Their music is still very recognizable along the way, and I like it. IIRC Lisa Gerrard once composed some music for the Cirque Du Soleil

Interesting. But all I can think of is how this guy's voice (and the song, come to think of it) sound like a blend of Jim Morrison and the guy from Crash Test Dummies :?

I've never heard of Dead Can Dance. I like it -- laid back music. Yet another reason I'm glad I support Radio Paradise.
