This was my first contact with Dead can Dance. I was 18 years old, on deck of a night ferry to Dover. A classmate gave me his walkman to listen to "Cantara" and I dived into this dark music watching the black ocean. I will never forget this. Still my favourite DCD track. Thank you Dana for this lovely video.
Used to listen to their work on the beach at night, the sounds of the waves and the shapes of the clouds made it so much stronger. Was an amazing experience
The most unique, and talented band in the world. No one, NO ONE, can sing with the passion that Lisa does. Hundreds of years from now, Dead Can Dance will be regarded as we now regard the likes of Beethoven and Bach.
Absolutely magical - saw them in Cologne more than 20 years ago in the Philharmonie and it was one of my best concerts, and that with my father, he had never been heard them before, and it was fabulous for him and me THANX DCD
I learned a dance to this song in 2004. It involved holding candles and much interweaving of formations for the dancers. More exuberant and energetic than sad and dark.
I used to walk in a cemetery just like this one and listen to this song on my MP3 player. It was a very cathartic experience. thank you for uploading it brings back a lot.
In my mind, if raves existed back in the days of the Roman Empire, this is the kind of music to which they would have danced about like mad people! It's so rousing and dramatic, I just can't sit still listening to this, I have to move with it. I find it as motivating as 90's house music when it comes to stoking up the wild man inside me! :-D
The live version on "Toward The Within" is the most primal man-made thing I have ever heard. Lisa, in the last minute and a half, takes what you heard here and reaches for a place so deep that her voice bends off into what I can only describe as Kundalini serpent places. A place inside her where the lyric on the studio version just cannot go without writhing if it is expected to mark us. And mark us it does, all of us, as you will hear in the audience, you right there alongside them.
Love this song but do not think the video fits it....I don't think it's a sad song. It's a powerful song. It makes me feel like I have a fire inside of me.
although it depends on translation..its about the power of a singing voice! ;) or like alot of Water..so maybe it combines the power of a river with the power of a singing voice
For some reason, I'm always reminded of a majestic, crumbling aztec temple deep within tropical rainforest when I hear this. Hauntingly beautiful, an almost ethereal but proud reminder of what once was. This song is what plays when I think of otherworldly grace.
I discovered DCD with this song. I bought all their albums and I went to the Père Lachaise Cemetary to discover the tomb whose photo is on the album cover.
Piękna prezentacja. Strasznie zrobiło mi się smutno, bo wiem, ile czasu już upłynęło od chwili, kiedy słuchałem tego wspaniałego utworu ostatni raz... I jaki już jestem stary... I że niedługo umrę...
DCD FOREVER!!! i have danced under the stars, about a fire with my friends on very good drugs and without in my youth to this and others of theirs. OH HOW WE DANCED! oh how i love brendan and lisa for their wonderful world they’ve given us. such an act of love.
There's nothing really dark to this song. The Middle-Eastern influences are so hard to ignore that all you get is a sort of Moorish-slash-Gypsy need to get up and dance, once Lisa Gerrard gets her windpipe going! It's incredibly lively. Maybe it's just me, but I never entirely got the Goth/Dead Can Dance connection. Some songs are dark, sure, but this one is just so passionate it's hard to find some kind of turgid undertone to it.
One of my inner child who was born when I was in the deepest depths of depression dances to this. She wants to hear it over and over and over. I don't know what exactly DCD does, but this is new.
this song has the ability to make you think outside the box its tragic but somehow uplifting at the same time i guess its where your head is at any time i feel its a soing to go into battle like om a white horse charging those who oppress you in a swift sword cut in a motion and float away and the battle is done its dreamlike quality is just sublime anyone reading this in the normal day to day wont feel it have a glassof wine lie back and take it in this is music to take you to another place look at how many likes should to tell you sommin
+Thomas Brilke I grew up on Death and Thrash metal. When I first heard DCD Within... album I instantly fell in love with it. Suddenly the whole world became enchanted, enigmatic and undiscovered - beautiful. And so much open and vast...
+Rudal yes, man. It's me too! I 've heard Slayer, Metallica, Napalm death and so on, before I get DCD in my fingers! It responset me the whole wide world between noise meral!
Yes I love Ataraxia too. I live in New Zealand and they've never been here, but if they ever come i would be the first to buy a ticket.You have very good taste.
Tout à fait d'accord! La musique, surtout la musique, et après tout la musique, like you said, this music can exist purely by itself... Cheers to you, à votre santé! Namaste...
Great video and song choice! I had borrowed my grandpa's car to go for a job interview back in the mid 80's, when I returned back to his house I came in the front door and noticed my Grandma lying on the couch,so I started to whisper "Thanks Grandpa" and he said "you don't need to whisper, Grandma's passed not sleeping." I was shocked at his gentleness. He actually took a few pictures of her with his poloraoid..it was so sweet..I'm glad I was there...she took a nap and never woke up...
Des tombes, un cimetière, des visages désespérés, des statues figées dans l'affliction, des masques mystiques, des arbres morts, des fleurs fanées étiolées, des larmes et des squelettes. Toute la panoplie de clichés qui accompagne les Dead Can Dance depuis leur création. Dans les années 80 du siècle dernier, moi non plus je n'ai pas été épargné par ces pensées. Mais c'était il y a trente-cinq an et depuis, l'eau a coulé sous les ponts. Avez-vous vraiment écouté les DCD ? Je veux dire, vraiment ? Leur musique est indéniablement un hymne à la beauté. L'essence même avec laquelle ils composaient leurs morceaux, c'était la beauté. Pas la mort, le désespoir et le chagrin. C'était la beauté. C'était la joie de vivre, les couleurs, la multiplicité, l'amour. La mystique, le mysticisme, ça ne veut pas dire Dark, Dark Wave, enterrement et descente en caveau... Ça veut dire élévation, illumination, lumière, vie, couleurs et joie. Je n'arrive plus à admettre que l'on inverse les symboles et qu'on l'appose sur des artistes à l'encontre des intentions de ceux-ci. Notre monde intérieur et sa projection sur ces artistes n'ont rien avoir à faire avec leur travail. Ce n'est pas la réalité. The Carnival is Over. Tombs, a cemetery, desperate faces, statues frozen in affliction, mystical masks, dead trees, wilted withered flowers, tears and skeletons. The whole panoply of clichés that has accompanied Dead Can Dance since their creation. In the 80s of the last century, I was not spared these stupid thoughts either. But it was thirty-five years ago and since then, water has flowed under the bridge. Did you ever listened to the DCDs? I mean, really listened? Their music is undeniably a hymn to beauty. The very essence with which they composed their songs was beauty. Not death, despair and grief. It was beauty. It was the joy of living, the colors, the multiplicity, the love. Mysticism, that doesn't mean Dark, Dark Wave, burial and descent into a vault... It means elevation, illumination, light, life, colors and joy. I can no longer admit that the symbols are reversed and that they are affixed to artists against their intentions. Our inner world and its projection on these artists have nothing to do with their work. It is not the reality.The Carnival is Over. Bruno Zaid
It's like floating whispers of the passing by caravans of the wold - echoing glimpses of our souls transmuting to nomadic sound waves. Damn! I think the sound of this band multiplies the gravity of silence, making you hear yourself much deeper.
dreamy lovely hopefull uplifting then we ride the dark this music takes you into the bottom of some dark floating around us then you dance to escape brilliant love this tune sick dance dance dance and life gos on
Many of the comments below say this song has nothing to do with death and sadness but makes them feel a kind of freedom. For me, sadness is just one face of death. One in a hundred. I lost my beloved mother-in-law this summer. I truly felt the word "mother" in this expression. We had a very honest and loving relationship. She passed away in our little family circle and I can't stop being thankful to God, for being able to stay with her and support her from the beginning of the end. Her last breath felt like the last one of mine. As I saw the glow fading away in her eyes, I had the feeling that it fades to the inside. There was no fading "out". In the following days, we had tons of concrete in our hearts. However I'm still unable to say a final goodbye to her, in a strange kind of way I don't feel like having to do so. What I feel is that she's safe and she's free. She's in a place that we earthbound creatures cannot imagine yet. So guys, I guess this freedom is the something we have in common.
you found such cool images for this! And so nicely edited! you should do more of these you really have such a talent!! I think this song as art can be depicted in many ways and you showed one potential prospective very nicely
youtube invites or even forces the need of pictures (stills or movies) on us. This music can exist purely without that. If you want the music as closest to yourself as possible - close your eyes. Forget the world of comments, PCs, egos and the desperate foolish need to be right. You will find that as soon as you open them again. 24/7 and all around you.
This totally makes me think of ancient ruined temples and haunted rainforests. There's a mystic quality to it that's just indescribable. The only part I hate is when it ends. :(
It amazes me how many different "voices" Lisa Gerrard is capable of doing--all the way from Western to Middle Eastern, to this, which sounds rather Bollywood.
Just relax, close your eyes, forget the video and let the music take you to your place (happy, sad... what ever). No need to make a major thing of it. I am sure that if they put up something else on the screen people would be arguing about that as well. Just let the music carry you away...........🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Any way you genuinely come into contact with Dead Can Dance music is a good way, but damn .... yours is very awesome.
How is it dark? I can’t tell the difference. Everything feels dark

No mames
Absolutely not but this band is Amazing.
Listen to Legendary Pink Dots and Tears Garden 😉
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded.
The merger of European Gothic and Oriental sensuality. Excellent!
The dead really can dance in this one!
Will always love this song; no matter how old I get!
this is not depressing. more magical
This is Hypnotic, in a wonderful sense , and i am a manic depressive
that’s what it’s meant to be.
Absolutely magical - saw them in Cologne more than 20 years ago in the Philharmonie and it was one of my best concerts, and that with my father, he had never been heard them before, and it was fabulous for him and me THANX DCD
Svp mettez la traduction française !
Dcd created this masterpiece. Forever immortalised, is Cantara.
one of the best songs i have ever heard. still today after 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to listen to this song as a teenager in a dark room, candle light and incense.... Amazing song 💜
I learned a dance to this song in 2004. It involved holding candles and much interweaving of formations for the dancers. More exuberant and energetic than sad and dark.

大学時代の友人が「ジャケ買いした」というこのDead can danceのCDを貸してもらったのは、もう20年以上前のこと。以来、この神秘的で、ダークで、頽廃的でいて神々しいサウンドに魅了され続けております。
One of the best underrated band. I LOVE THIS, it's beautiful~

truth
Yes that's true. The fire of the water.
It gives me so much power , that fire part is real
although it depends on translation..its about the power of a singing voice! ;) or like alot of Water..so maybe it combines the power of a river with the power of a singing voice
Lara Suzanne xxsounds more like exaltation.
These photos are (as, indeed, the music) just AWESOME!

how can some not hear this and fall in love with music and all its complex attributes
I'VE LOVED DEAD CAN DANCE , FOR YEARS, TRULY ON THE TOP OF MY LOVE MUSIC LIST.LETITIA

Nur nicht aufgeben. Es geht immer weiter.
it depends what you understand of dark or sad...its magical
Deepest song i've ever heard. My soul goes completly crazy. Madness, mindfuck.
Go listen to Sanvean of DCD
@@davidlemonde4569 I’ve listened to all DCD songs!
Wow. Haunting yet intriguing with mystery 🌹I love it! ❤️
I want to dance in circles in the moonlight. This isn't sad.
It would be great, to dance under moonligh and near a lake...
Yes!! Can I join u 😊
DCD FOREVER!!! i have danced under the stars, about a fire with my friends on very good drugs and without in my youth to this and others of theirs. OH HOW WE DANCED! oh how i love brendan and lisa for their wonderful world they’ve given us. such an act of love.
hermosa, cancion!!! perfecta!
Music so beautiful, deep and complex, its making is beyond comprehension.
Outstanding vocal performance. One for the ages.
for me is the power that i need for a new beginning..goodbye to everything old!
Absolutely angelic music! Lisa Gerrard is like an angel on stage, singing for heaven!!!! The music, the feelings of DCD are Unique!!!
So love this band, Lisa's voice is just so other worldly! Love the way this vid has been put together as well, with the beautiful imagery : )
I'm seeing them in Nashville in 2 days.
I've been waiting for 22 years.
nu ma pot satura sa o tot ascult
rupe melodia asta e geniala......
loved in 1994 and love it now
Reminds me of the inevitable dance towards the end and the sadness that I will leave this world behind forever.
Wunderschoene, tief traurige Bilder!
et ! oui je fezait mes 17 ans ! indémodable et encore vif de puissances ! merci!et love!!!
Those are amazing photos. Amazing. Dead Can Dance has authored the sound track to my life and I understand exactly what you mean.
I challenge anyone not to be moved by The Dead Can Dance and their track
'Cantara'! It's haunting! Thank You!
Haunting, beautiful, and enchanting.

intemporal...Amazing song beatiful atmosfer!!! Lovelly this song!!!
Envoûtant et dansant...Transport mystique
That 1987 album was the best... and this track was the best thing on it. 1987 WAS another realm.
Yes, you're right! It was my first DCD album, and I was more than fastinacet! The best indypendent I group I ever heared!
+Thomas Brilke I grew up on Death and Thrash metal. When I first heard DCD Within... album I instantly fell in love with it.

my time started in 1996 the best band ever, to many good bands out their... So underrated including Ataraxia, Deep Forest and too many others
Yes I love Ataraxia too. I live in New Zealand and they've never been here, but if they ever come i would be the first to buy a ticket.You have very good taste.
very moving music, i enjoy a lot, thanks a lot. xxx from france. alexandra

You captured my current and long term state of mind perfectly. Thank you.
J adore cette vidéo, un pur art des photos splendide j aime le dessin et la photographie c est une passion ! et la musique bien sur !
Absolutely amazing. What took me so long to find Dead Can Dance! At least I have getting to know them to look forward to...
Magnifico vídeo, y la melodía una exquisitez.
You have captured my current state of mind better than any shrink or med could. Thankyou
beautifully done.
this music is much more than pop-goth - world music or anything you name it. it simply devinal !
I love dancing to this song.
just fantastic
Phenomenal isn't it.
tripping , relaxing and so amazing. Dead can dance are the best !
very nice sound !!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Distinctive vocals, a haunting rhythm, shots of the Catacombs, and lots and lots of gravestones. What's not to love about this song??

Vous n'avez rien compris .
Peut-être avez-vous raison. Sans doute parce qu'il n'y a rien à comprendre. Simplement à écouter et à jouir de cette beauté.
Bien à vous.
Absolutno e . Bravo . This is the best song of DCD . Great Job for teh videomaker .
Pure art!

very nice video, great shots for my third time favourite DCD song
I just lost my first pregnancy and this song (and the video you made) screams toward my emotional state. Thanks for posting.
saw them live in the
90's, she sounded
just the same live.
we love you Lisa
and Brendan.

Ottimo lavoro. Mille Grazie.
DCD's masterpiece masterfully videographed!
My official shamanic ritual song
coop island Goths adopted DCD somewhere in the 90s. Don't even really know how that happened since DCD is "World Music".
Me it is sanvean Before the LBRP
