"The Host Of Seraphim", the beginning of "The Serpent’s Egg". I bought this CD just after the premiere (1988) and I see it now on my shelf. Amazing music. Whole album. Anything they did.
I still remember the exact moment when I heard this song for the first time. The album had just been released, the sun was shining from a cloudless sky, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the old town were wide open and the wind was moving the long, white curtains. The large, powerful speakers of the sound system were turned up full blast and I was completely immersed in the music - it was incredible. We didn't even have to apologise to the neighbours afterwards, nobody complained! There was no connection to this film back then, I don't think, so the interpretation was a bit freer. Thank you very, very much for your wonderful reaction and recalling this memory!✌🏻
I want to take a moment to call out the rest of the Baraka soundtrack as well. Michael Stearns created the soundtrack and curated a number of tracks such as this one that are intricately interwoven into a dark and beautiful piece of work. "Wandering Saint" is a particular favorite.
Even so, the ululating part of the song I tend to associate with slow-motion footage of a diving kingfisher (that's how David Attenborough used the song)
Has it always been this way for humans in every culture. It seams like there have been a few where the people (like native Americans)?, took care of each other and there was some equality??? Anybody? Ive really been thinking about it, cuz how things are all over the world.
Great question. Very few that i am aware of. Ofcourse i am not that knowledgeable. I think the Minoans of Crete were considered pretty peaceful. Recently i read about a civilization in the Indus Valley. They discovered very few weapons and no traces of battle or that an army even existed. Very interesting.
@@SaeedReacts. There's a great book you probably know if, "the power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell! So amazing about every culture and there legends and myths and their meanings, known or studied. He's an absolute expert. I've read it a couple times.

I agree ... It hits quite differently / powerfully listening to it on your own
Beautiful description of your memory. Thanks for sharing that.
The entire album that this track comes from, "The Serpent's Egg", is mesmerizing from stem to stern.
What a title!
Excellent artist! All I have all of their music!
One of my all-time favorite band!!! Love me some Dead Can Dance!!!

Uniquely beautiful.
Dead Can really Dance.
My goodness. Profound indeed. Thanks ❤
Impressive!
Thanks for watching.

This is deep ...
Powerful music and video.
Entire Into the Labyrinth album 🎉

" A portrait of humanity" is a good assessment
I feel strong empathic sorrow every time I see that boy begging
..............fending off sleeplessness ...
Children shouldn't have to suffer ...
They should be living life without concern for necessities ...
It's heartbreaking to see children suffer. That knowledge alone is at times too much to bear.
Very powerful piece of art! Thanks for this one!
