Funny how depression leads you to depressing music and instead of making you more depressed it makes you feel understood...not alone.
I don't want to give away too much of my own situation, but I must say your remark is spot on.
Listening to beautiful (depressing, emotional) music indeed makes you feel understood, and not even more depressed.
There's apparently a scientific reason for that.
your comment makes me feel I might be past my depression stage after divorce. but then again I've always been in love with music. and this music piece [cover of a not very happy tune earlier performed by the divine Liz Frazer] sounds awesome and uplifting to me now. so yeah. I wish you all the best.
Its Catharsis, living out emotions and reflect on it and integrate them into the conciouss sonit stops popping up grom the back of ones head and keeps bothering wich over time leads to neurotic behaviour and eventually even neurosis(Jung).
Happy Songs or happy people...
One of the best voices and the best composers I have ever seen. Brendan Perry and Dead Can Dance
My god, what a beautiful voice he has. I cannot think of anything more witty to say.
Can't say it's a special timbre or voice. But what he makes out of it, how he uses it, that makes it an outstanding beautiful voice.
His warm beautiful voice just wraps around me like a soft blanket 😊 💕
This song is very healing to me. It brings me back to the core wound of not being loved, through the tides of longing and fear, love and despair... Back to my own heart and healing tears. 🙏🏻
it's beautiful isn't love to you
Bonjour PhoneFixer13. Comme je vous comprends...
Prenez bien soin de vous..Alain
No need to argue about this "Liz vs Brendan" stuff. Both versions are incredible and both bring their own inimitable style to the song. Fantastic song and I'm so glad I got to see Brendan and Robin perform it in Los Angeles. Can't wait for DCD!
This performance always cuts me deeply. Often I cry. It's so sad and beautiful.
For me the same
Ethereal and haunting. This may be one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
10 years later, I Hope you're right. I don't know why, Your great soul, maybe.
brendan perry's voice is just wonderful
On the eve of my 44th birthday, and this came into my world. DCD a faint fixture of my high school days. 44, the age my father died. 44, the age of my maternal grandmother at my birth. The same Grandmother, who is very much all I have in this world. What a beautifully haunting surprise. May get through the next 44 hours just yet.
I love his soothing voice so much. He could read loud out of a telephone book and I would love it. It feels so warm and comfortable.
You should check him out in concert with Dead can dance. I caught the live performance in 2012 in Berkeley CA. Boy did they bring it. :) It's on UA-cam actually.
KEXP is like the "Garden of the Gods". Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined these two masters playing together THIS song. Thanks to whoever made it possible and thanks to KEXP & DJ El Toro for sharing it.
I think I tear up EVERY time I listen to this...
The way he vocalizes 'loving' at 0:57 is one supreme hint why his singing is so mesmerizing.
I just heard this live an hour ago...and...I'm...speechless
Well done, Brendan. (and your band). Giving the song the respect it needs, and adding some of your touches of brilliance.
I LOVE HIS VOICE AND MUSIC
I can just feel Tim Smiling about this beautiful version. Still knocking it out of the park, Brendan..never get tired of that voice xx
Simply brilliant. Two genius playing together, brendan perry and robin guthrie...touching the sky.
Thank God I discovered KEXP live shows.
So great to see Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins on guitar with Brendan Perry. The CTwins and DCD carried 4AD Records for years, and made a wonderful soundtrack to a decade of memories for me as well.
Such great music just when i lost hope in todays music ...such soothing ,,,pain ,,,
In my top 5 absolute masterpiece songs ever !
Magnificient cover once again of BRENDAN . Voice that carries!
one of the most beautiful covers, indeed
There's no words to properly describe this...
get a female voice with Robin and its gold, NOT SANTA CLAUS!
@@maggam8080 If he was Santa, this world would had been a much better place!
probably the most beautiful song ever- so many fantastic versions [:
besides this one totally lost out of tempo lol
@@motorhomefamily256 Ah, yes, said the music expert...
Hmm yes I don't know about most beautiful ever sometimes see my old UA-cam comments and reel a bit silly, it is a lovely song though and I think this version sounds great! Haven't heard one that I don't like though.
The guitar and keyboards on this cover are just stellar. Wow.
His voice melts my heart.
This song helped me in my darkest hours! This song make me so much light, and it help to fight against the dark thoughts! Thank you Brendan for this wonderful positive song!
The moment I heard him the first time I was addicted.....Ones of the greatest..........
Amazing vocals, in love with his voice...
Ufff!!! se que las otras versiones son buenas, pero esta interpretación por el gran Brendan Perry es la mejor, es mágica.
The best version EVER!!!
Love this: I didn't know Brendan had sung this before. Lovely.
OMG, he voice still haunts and excites me after all these years.....
Lovely take on the guitar of a really unique song

thank you so much hugs kisses love to you for this great version of this magic song
His voice is like an old, sweet wine heating my soul.
After watching ZSJL
Listening all the covers song of siren ❤
simply beautiful music.
Tim's voice is insurmountable...and also Tim's original version is stunning (ask Brendan he will confirm it)....tho' it's nice to see one of your favorite artists covering the greatest artist ever...and this is the second time he does that (successfully dare I say)...long live Brendan long live Tim. both adorable both true.
Beyond like, love or other nondescriptive words...touches my soul.
Best version of this song
So beautiful . draws and calms.
Perfect version!
I hope that one day I will be lucky enough to see Dean Can Dance play and sing in Denmark. I have been listening to Dean Can Dance for many decades. When I had a cerebral hemorrhage it was Dead Can Dance that I listened to when I first wanted to hear some music after being in the hospital. Love and sadness united in music..
Absolutely beautiful
Dead Can Dance + Cocteau Twins = GOLD
Fantastic!
Excelente!!!Pasan los años pero su talento sigue intacto!!
Brendan Perry! Fantastic
For me there's no such thing as Brendan vs Lisa for me there's only Dead can Dance. My favorite band of all time!!! ❤
Piękna wersja znanego kawałka. Dzięki!

Oh me too ! I Saw Liz Fraser with massive attack in the past, I was in the front of the show
Gorgeous. He did this as the encore to the DCD show in Denver last Sunday!
pure poetry.....
Simply beautiful
This is soooo nice. I love it.
Pieśń do syreny
Na unoszących, bezkształtnych oceanach
Robiłem wszystko, by się uśmiechać
Aż twoje śpiewające oczy i palce
Przybliżyły mnie zakochanego do Twej wyspy
A Ty śpiewałaś:
„Żegluj do mnie, przypłyń do mnie
Pozwól mi wziąć Cię w ramiona
Oto jestem, oto jestem
Czekam, by Cię objąć”
Czy ja śniłem, że Ty marzysz o mnie?
Czy byłaś tutaj, gdy ja płynąłem pod pełnymi żaglami?
Teraz moja głupia łódka przechyla się
Złamana miłość stracona na Twych skałach
Dla Ciebie śpiewam:
„Nie dotykaj mnie, nie dotykaj
Wróć jutro
Och moje serce, och moje serce
Wzbrania się przed smutkiem”
Jestem zaskoczony jak nowo narodzone dziecko
Jestem rozdarty jak fala
Czy mam pozostać wśród tych falochronów?
Czy spocząć ze Śmiercią - moją oblubienicą
Usłysz mnie, jak śpiewam:
„Przypłyń do mnie, przypłyń do mnie
Pozwól mi wziąć Cię w ramiona
Oto jestem, oto jestem
Czekam, by Cię objąć”
Beautiful !
Great version and great voice!
es alguien que admiro, su gran clima en sus canciones.
The whole melody is right from heaven or an enchanted forest with all the beautiful magical creatures and fairies....
Thank you.🥰
I love Liz's version and have for years, but his is spectacular! I really really want to here Lisa Gerrard sing this.
Shivers down my spine......
Thank You!
Thanks for the substance you bring to the conversation.
one of my very favorites
jus beautiful
This is magical . . .
amazing performance
always loved this song, makes me wanna cry, great cover tho guys ;)
awesome music and a very impressive lyrics
Thank you!
I love his voice
What a fantastic version!
Perfect........ Love it......
Great show in Nashville! So worth the wait!
Assisté à un fabuleux concert de Brendan à Caen dans une petite salle, nous n'étions qu'un petit public composé en majeure partie de "vieux de la vieille '. Ce fut extraordinaire. Cette voix!
I love him!
Beautiful. Please play this version live in London 2019....x
Saw them do this at Bimbos in SF last year and was just lost in it. Brendan sounded amazing-just like he did with DCD a few nights ago in Berkeley. Musical treasures, both of these guys.
Tremenda versión!
i think im in love....NO i am in love!! just sublime ...my soul is swooning
Half of DCD + One Third of CT = Beauty!
Magnífico
Una de las mejores piezas sonoras del mundo.
I don't know if the Dead Can Dance to this, but the living can at least float away to another dimension with it.
Wow. Brendan Perry's looks have certainly changed. I still see him as he was during the Toward the Within shows. I could be standing right next to him now and would never have had any idea who it was... Brilliant as he's always been here.
