I remember asking the dude at my local record store in the early '90s what Dead Can Dance were all about. He described them as "12th century pop" which I still think is the best description of them.
181 / 5000 pure truth, i am kinesthetic and also cry of pure energy in this part of the music, (if something is written wrong and forgive me i am using google translator) i am brazilian
Lisa Gerrard usually sings in an idioglossa (sounds that are not actual words), so 'bylar' might not mean anything at all. Or rather, 'bylar' might be whatever you want it to be. It sounds a lot like the Spanish word for 'dance', though. Coincidence?
rankinkao Bilär was a medieval city in Volga Bulgaria (look it up in wikipedia)Although it may just be a pretty word DCD decided to use in their idioglossia ;)
Saw and heard this live this year (2019). It was pure bliss. The song opens up like a delicate flower and then hits you hard. In my case with pure happiness and joy.

The search for musical perfection ends with this song.
This song brings me to tears.
Crying of joy at 1:50. A moment when there is peace on earth and no one is a stranger.
Comme c’est vrai !!

Some people say that men should not mourn ... but with this issue I cried when DCD was in Buenos Aires. A portal to the celestial.
Lisa Gerrard & Brendan Perry are 2 of the most amazing musicians, together & apart.
i heard this live 22 years ago thanks for helping me find it again today. the chorus is exactly as i remember. im so glad to hear it again
With Love from Ukraine!
I before to go t9oo sleep always hear them,they r legend
Mourning is a very natural reaction and shouldn't be suppressed IMHO.
PS: Gorgeous song... I agree with you, it's otherworldly beautiful!
I love this song...
I don't know about anyone else, but all I can concentrate in the visual are their ears!
This is such a nice piece. Seems kind of rare too.

rankinkao coincidently Bailar means To Dance in Spanish, and its pronounced with a sound like BY-Lar
Another possible meaning for Bylar:
