This song was amazing live.. I saw them in Seattle, I have their concert recording of this song, only all of the lyrics are sung in English.. One of the purest songs written, gives me chills.
We are starlight, made from the dust of dead stars. Lingering between darkness and darkness We hang. The crucified ones We hang searching for light in others some times the light is blazing Such times are rare, most times the world is shattered by this mirror such are the distances bewteen us; except a note, a midnight, soft, full moon note. One beautiful song brings us home.
The stars you see in the night sky Have been dead for centuries And sunlight creates the illusion Of life for all these years Now i no longer trust these eyes of mine The heart must speak to me In tongues of forgotten voices In cosmic energy So that i can see The heavens are merely illusions When you build them high in the sky And hell is the final solution For man and his seed design And the chance of life And the more that i see The more life means to me
How weirdly the black birds on the rooftop walk compared to the white ones . . . did anyone else notice? Bleak footage goes with the mood of the music, somehow. Good job!
This is my favourite video for Crescent, hope it will stay on youtube forever - I added it to my playlist some two years ago, makes winters easier to cope with :)
Yeah, I was looking at their website and they have the best of the North American tour cd where this song is also there. I have downloaded a few song from those cd's but I want the actual cd. I saw them in New York during that tour--it was amazing!! Although I really enjoyed their 'Spirit Chaser' tour in 1996--wow!!
Farewell Starman~ David Jones Bowie dug DCD I'd bet He left us today with all his energy, this chameleon of versatility & illusive truth, poet performer, elusive charm, labyrinth king starman beyond ziggy, man from mars ~ recognition, may all our love be with you!
This song can only be found on the CD copies from their live concerts. I have the live concert from Seattle where I saw them in 2005 this song is on it but Brendan changes the lyrics a bit on the version I have. This song is weepingly beautiful I can see why you would want it. There are also other rare songs on the concert CD's like Lisa Gerrard singing this haunting lullaby to the audience as the last song of the concert.
It wasn't released on an album. They only performed it live, on their 2005 reunion tour. There are lots of recordings of the tour that will have it. Also, Brendan Perry (who was one half of Dead Can Dance) will be releasing an album later this year, called Ark, which will include this song
I love birds, and I think your video is great, it goes so well with the music too. I also really like the way you've made the cars go backwards during the traffic clip, adds an interesting dimension to the film.
My brother has been playing the Yangqin for over 30 years. If this is the same instrument used on their many tours, then it's definitely not a Yangqin. It looks like either a European or middle eastern version. All are called hammer dulcimers though, and yes from the same family.
In the chime of silence of your love Can't feel in my love And i need love in my life Can't feel it in you And i need love in my, i see life Can't feel it in you
Dead Can Dance makes sadness beautiful and and alive, if that is at all possible. Check out The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove. Appreciated by old school goths, world music lovers, and exotic strippers everywhere. Lol!!!
This is the original from 'selections from europe' (limited edition) by DCD: czcams.com/video/YidtAo6mRuM/video.html The best version imo. I never heard this one, also its not on 'Ark' by Brendon Perry (still another version on 'Ark'). Sounds very similar to the original.
I'm pretty sure you're alone in that one.....But if they did, how would we call the music??? Dead-can-Metal??? (somewhere between doom-metal and black-metal???) LOL
I found this video by accident...one of the best accidents that I've had lately
This song was amazing live.. I saw them in Seattle, I have their concert recording of this song, only all of the lyrics are sung in English.. One of the purest songs written, gives me chills.
Last 9 years ...when i need to feel my self free and relax I came here ..
Thank you
We are starlight, made from the dust
of dead stars.
Lingering between darkness and darkness
We hang.
The crucified ones
We hang
searching for light in others
some times the light is blazing
Such times are rare,
most times the world is shattered
by this mirror
such are the distances bewteen us;
except a note,
a midnight, soft, full moon note.
One beautiful song
brings us home.
The stars you see in the night sky
Have been dead for centuries
And sunlight creates the illusion
Of life for all these years
Now i no longer trust these eyes of mine
The heart must speak to me
In tongues of forgotten voices
In cosmic energy
So that i can see
The heavens are merely illusions
When you build them high in the sky
And hell is the final solution
For man and his seed design
And the chance of life
And the more that i see
The more life means to me
Brendan's voice is haunted!
May the light be with you! Looking forward to seeing you.
I was just talking about this prodigious music and the great feeling being raised with it. Everything else is less important my dear friend.
I love both the Video and the Song. They match somehow. I apprecate it. Good show
İts 2019 ... and i am still here....

How many bands can be better live than recorded? I can count them on one hand. This is pure genius. :)
Pure art, so amazing !!!

I saw the 1996 show as well and yes that was so amazing the musicians were astounding and so full of life.

This is awesome. Seagulls don't get enough credit for how cool they are, especially with DCD in the background.
Still one of my favs by them
wowza! the song is....
and the accompanying video makes for a well-matched marriage. One of the best I've witnessed!

This is absolutely one of the coolest videos on CZcams.
I love stuff like this. Its so simple yet so awesome!
Got all their CDs. How did I let this beauty pass me by?
2021 i am still alive and here
Great musician indeed beautiful song..
Świetne. Wielka szkoda, że DCD już nie grają, mogłaby powstać kolejna wspaniała płyta z ich nowych, koncertowych utworów plus jeszcze kilka.
One of the song composed when the reunion arrived. Than this song was professional recorded for the new release of Brendan Perry 2010 cd ARK.
Legend klip. Legend song..
It wasn't released on an album. They only performed it live, on their 2005 reunion tour. There are lots of recordings of the tour that will have it.

just beautiful...
Just beautiful and soothing...
I love this song!
Just came from Brendan Perry's live in athens...I hope brendan and liza reunite their inspirations and visit as for a night we'll always remember..
to co dcd robią z dźwiękami to jest po prostu nie do opisania piękny utwór
There is a studio version of this song on Brendan Perry's 'Ark' album. This song is indescribable. There are many emotions.
Well, we all know that there is "music", and then there's Dead Can Dance: beyond classification!!
Haunting... Simply beautiful.
Thanks for posting this song!!
excellent!
Beautyfull
Piercing, riveting..........!
Sorry to reply to a 2 year old post, but it has to be said - They really really are awesome live - They take their sound very seriously!
Thanks for the info
It's a style of music called Ethereal, you can check out outher groups in the same style:
Cocteau Twins, and Lycia.
🙏
Really great; thanks for sharing!
Perfect sound!
Thanks!!
Good to hear that someone likes the video too :-D (not only the song)
haha, I very good way to describe it
how i couldnt know it?
marvelous!
Brendan Perry - best male voice. Lisa Gerrard - best female voice. Are you agree? Because I do:)
They remind me a little of VAST.
you will never hear this beauty on TV...we live in a fucked up world
Yeah, just one of those bands that make music that really feels important! Another band in a similar vein you should check out is World Of Skin.
FREAK`S MY SOUL
Is this new?? I've never heard this song and I have all their cd's--even rare stuff, but I've never heard this. I want!! I want!! It's amazing!!
Have you heard of Brendan Perry's solo work? This song is included in the album 'Ark'. The studio version is wonderful.
@dano555666
WTF It's LIVE?!
....AWESOMEEEE
Alicia Cantor b
new version on brendan's perry new album"ark"is also awesome.
European Tour 2005 - Disc 1 (live) :-)
Also check out Cranes and Later-Day Swans.
I've heard about Cocteau Twins. I'll se that Spotifier have 2 albums from Lycia (Estrella/Empty Space). I'll check it out. Thanks for the tips :-)
@GreySunday29
It's on Brendan Perry's latest CD, but this version is better. :)
The music is not from DCD but from Brian Perry's solo album "Ark".
song was recorded by DCD, however Brendon included it on Ark because it was ready at the time, and its Brendan not Brian
+Janus Kristijan It's a Hammered Dulcimer
+Adélaïde Hajovic who's Brian Perry? Brendan Perry!
no,it's not a hammered dulcimer,its a yangqin ( the same family instrument but from china)
My brother has been playing the Yangqin for over 30 years. If this is the same instrument used on their many tours, then it's definitely not a Yangqin. It looks like either a European or middle eastern version. All are called hammer dulcimers though, and yes from the same family.
Burkay'a selam.
i love dead can dance's music! it is so so beautiful, amazing and breath taking! which live cd is this wonderful song on, does anyone know?????
In the chime of silence of your love
Can't feel in my love
And i need love in my life
Can't feel it in you
And i need love in my, i see life
Can't feel it in you

Esta música es tan hermosa, que parece que no es real!!!!
I think it is from one of their last live concert (maybe 2005). I not really sure which cd or if it is available :-)
Hey man what's up?Do you know how can I download this song from limewire?
This is the original from 'selections from europe' (limited edition) by DCD:
czcams.com/video/YidtAo6mRuM/video.html
The best version imo. I never heard this one, also its not on 'Ark' by Brendon Perry (still another version on 'Ark'). Sounds very similar to the original.
2024 here again
Thanks,but how can I do that please?
Am I the only person curious about how Celtic Frost would sound covering this?

One of the best songs and vids on CZcams. What CD is this from?
2023 1:05

It appears to be an unreleased song by Dead Can Dance, but you can find the same song on Brendan Perry's 'Ark' album.
It is from a live cd :-)
