    Very few realize how rare it is for creating performers to sing with absolute mastery, 20-30 years later in their careers. Who knew Dead Can Dance would be their best in their 60s?

      As a European, I love Dead Can Dance too.
      Sorry, to say that to you, but what you're hearing in the studio recording and not live. Pay attention all the instruments you're hearing and what you see. Besides, it's also obvious of the qualities of musical sounds, and of his voice, of course. Take care.

      @@pixelfrenzy No, they're not pretending to play, it's what we're hearing as audience, and that's the studio recording.
      All TV/Radio shows it's the same thing, even if there's live audience. Only concerts are really live, with all the paraphernalia and full orchestras. Of course there are exceptions, but are rare though.
      On that particular setting, for me, there's no way to be live, apart of the absence of the plethora of instruments we're hearing, even the "echo" of his voice and only, screaming Studio.
      Then again, maybe I'm wrong. Good bye.

    We are ancients
    As ancient as the sun
    We came from the ocean
    Once our ancestral home
    So that one day
    We could all return
    To our birthright
    The great celestial dome
    We are the children of the sun
    Our journey's just begun
    Sunflowers in our hair
    We are the children of the sun
    There is room for everyone
    Sunflowers in our hair
    Throughout the ages
    Of iron, bronze, and stone
    We marvelled at the night sky
    And what may lie beyond
    We burned offerings
    To the elemental ones
    Made sacrifices
    For beauty, peace and love
    We are the children of the sun
    Our kingdom will come
    Sunflowers in our hair
    We are the children of the sun
    Our carnival's begun
    Our songs will fill the air
    And you know it's time
    To look for reasons why
    Just reach up and touch the sky
    To the heavens we'll ascend
    We are the children of the sun
    Our journey has begun
    All the older children
    Come out at night
    Anaemic, soulless
    Great hunger in their eyes
    Unaware of the beauty
    That sleeps tonight
    And all the queen's horses
    And all the king's men
    Will never put these children back
    Together again
    Faith, hope, our charities
    Greed, sloth, our enemies
    We are the children of the sun
    We are the children of the sun

Such a fantastic and influential band - I'll be looking up an artist I'm just getting into, be it metal, rock, pop, electronic, film/videogame music and so often I'll see Dead Can Dance cited as an influence. They're one of those bands that perhaps aren't charting constantly but whose footprint can be seen or heard in a great many bands, and will be for centuries quite possibly.

This music is sublime, Divine, otherworldly, and deeply magical . BTW...DCD has been explained by Brendan Himsrlf as the coming to life of musical instrument, the resonance, what was still and inert, touched by the human and the energy of Soul....comes to life....thus DCD....not goth by any means....old Souls music from another world. Thankyou for 30 plus years of nectar.

    His voice is still just as haunting now as it was over 30 years ago when I first heard it. The part at 3:54 gives me goosebumps.

    Incredible how he gives life to an augmented reality just with his voice which roots deeply into our soul.

    Uno dei pezzi più belli in assoluto dei Dead Can Dance, emozionale, struggente e con un enorme messaggio di speranza... i girasoli sono la luce, il rinnovamento, la rinascita. Grazie per questo capolavoro musicale 🙏
