This touches the eternal place within me. Have loved this since purchasing This Mortal Coil’s first album in ‘85 at Tower Records in Westwood as a student at UCLA.
DCD's most performed live song and one of the very few that they still play from "the golden era of the band (1980's) . And it is their song not a This Mortal Coil cover as erroneously described by many who should know better !
This song was commissioned by Ivo Watts (4AD founder) for the This Mortal Coil album that was released in 1984 but it was an original track written/performed.played by LG and BP only eg a DCD track. I have no record that the song was performed live before 1984 as someone on this site has stated.
First released on the album It'll end in Tears by This Mortal Coil in 1984 4AD records. Lisa of course performed it later as a DCD song. Its hers alone. Usually she is playing the Yang T'Chin herself - not Brendan. And arieljaffe is right. I've been looking for this song a long time - so thanks for posting!
I remember back when they were first put on cd, I'd go in the local music stores, and you'd always find them in the "new age" section ha ha. It was funny, because they were a hard band to categorize, or you'd go in the real "indie" minded stores and you'd find them in the "darkwave/industrial/goth sections, even they seemed to have a hard time labeling them ha ha.
the video is for a mylene farmer song with the audio of dcd's persophone used to replace the original vocals. it was removed because of copyright infrigement brought out by universal music france.
tiefgoakern: "they had performed the song together long before it was released by This Mortal Coil" - Where and when? Gimme facts, man. And I didn't mean that she performed it alone - you got me wrong there. I meant that she wrote it. But you're right with Brendan, he plays the bass drone and drums, while Lisa sings and plays yang t'chin - as she usually does.
i'm inclined to agree with you. i'd imagine tears would be streaming down my cheeks and i'd be too dumbstruck to express such facile appreciation as to merely clap like a seal
Lyrics would mostly be glossolalia ... - jibberish ; used for sound mostly /expressionism / a sort of speaking in tongues as the cocteau twins used ....
@@kimklaus7122 I appreciate the recommendation. In these 15 years, I found portished and more. If anything, I'm more grateful that you've reminded me that I was on this site 15 years ago.
Why doesn't her voice sound like this anymore? She has a mostly deep voice when singing now. Still grand just a change. But nothing like the first few albums. It has been a slow polished turn over the years.
She can still sing like this. She just doesn’t do it as much often the deep contralto vocals. She sings whatever and however she feels as the music guides her.
It's not like this now, maybe more middle area at times. It's like you said now, deep. According to her, it's the Holy Spirit that guides her. About a year ago, she gave an interview talking about it. It's a really great interview!
I think you need to listen more, before dismissing them as a "kitschy dark band" that's such an easy mistake to make with this band. This band weren't the typically kischy dark band then, overtime I can see people thinking that, considering, how later goth oriented bands eventually incorporated their sound into what they were doing. Hugely influential, but hardly a part of the scene.
My favorite DCD song, it has captivated me for years. I keep returning to this recording.
How can one person have such an rich, evocative voice?
This is DIVINE, God, how can she sing like that!!!!!!
This touches the eternal place within me. Have loved this since purchasing This Mortal Coil’s first album in ‘85 at Tower Records in Westwood as a student at UCLA.
my god she's georgeous. and that voice.... there aren't words to describe it....
I've always loved this song since I first heard it in 1989 on 'It'll End in Tears'. Hooray for DCD!!
me too.
when she sings is like she is communicating with her inner self.....magical.......
this is the way the soul shows its creative power and how the world is filled of magic energy, waiting for being conveyed.
Such a surreal and mesmerizing performance. They are both beautiful.
Briliant, thank you TMC for introducing me to DCD so many years ago. Dreams made flesh, the heart flowers and knows itself, the music that mirrors...
This live performance is so breath taking, it keeps drawing me back again and again.
La mejor canción 👌🏿 desde Chile.-
"© VARA 1989" makes this so much sadder for me. I'm too young to have this really fit into a nostalgic context but nonetheless I imagine, what if I'd been in front of this as a four year old toddler when it was broadcast? I'm so grateful these moments were captured and are now available for anyone online to treasure.
OMG!I love this song and I simply adore Dead Can Dance!
So, so beautiful. ❤️
Sublime perfection truly from the soul.
Escuchándola en el 2018 😍
25 years of my life, wow, touching.
Juste..... Magique ❤

@Micaiah Yes,exactly this is!High spiritual level,as you said well!
We love Pieter Perry!
DCD foi a melhor descoberta musical em minha vida.

*OBRIGADA QUERIDA LISA*
Yes... I've been looking for it as well.
@MissJezebel61 Lisa Gerrard and Elizabeth Fraser truly have the most mesmerizing voices

Impossible task, there is no group like them
brillante, subliminal,..cool

❤
The rare chance to see them perform live. Is nothing less than religious for lack of better words..
this song is intense!
awesome
Perfect music. But why i can't find it in official sources? I can't understand it. It was not forgotten about.
what a nice looking couple they once were? lisa looking like a 18th century feminine ideal of beauty and brendan looking like a tormented poet.
mARAVILHA..
the video is for a mylene farmer song with the audio of dcd's persophone used to replace the original vocals. it was removed because of copyright infrigement brought out by universal music france.
Very deep.

But you're right with Brendan, he plays the bass drone and drums, while Lisa sings and plays yang t'chin - as she usually does.
I’m not sure I would know what to do in response to this live. How do you clap and woo at something so regal and majestic?
i'm inclined to agree with you. i'd imagine tears would be streaming down my cheeks and i'd be too dumbstruck to express such facile appreciation as to merely clap like a seal
she plays it more then partially if youve seen a live concert of hers, your not her agent.
the name of the original video is mylene farmer sans logique
What year is this?!
Amazing song.
Never heard it before...
think it was 1989
Wait, i think that i hear she saying isabella yet again,as on the music ocean she says it too,am i correct?
Lyrics would mostly be glossolalia ...
- jibberish ; used for sound mostly /expressionism / a sort of speaking in tongues as the cocteau twins used ....
try DELERIUM ALBUM KARMA LIMITED EDITION,
AFROCELT SOUND SYSTEM IS PROBABLE CLOSEST TO THIS, ALSO SECRET GARDEN,
Can anyone recommend another similar music group?
I listen to Coil, but they're more electronic oriented.
Portishead

I've always loved this track since TMC back in 82 but can't watch this, she looks like Thatcher...! :O( Sorry
