Lisa Gerrard is why I started loving folk, and why I spent years in a folk club. I finished my music career attempting to sound like her folk techniques. Couldn't have happened in a better way.
@@jhonnash84 lol Ur mean to call her stupid. I knew Lisa Gerrard also Just AS solo Artist. I knew only Few years ago that she is in a band. The Industrie ist Very big. We cant know everything
If god exist, She's speaks to us by Lisa voice. Love Her solo , and Dead Can Dance of course. You need to listen Cantara, or Summoning of the muse, or Persephone....will blow Your mind.
Pretty well anything by them is just astounding...I just stumbled across them when I was a teenager and found Within the Realm of a Dying Sun at the music store, still one of my most beloved albums of all time...
"Host Of Seraphim" should always be played with this,it's like they were meant to be...even if there's a 10 year gap between both songs - heavenly is the only word to describe these 2 songs.
She sings in Aramaic mostly. Its an old language, what Jesus spoke. She also does make up stuff, like in the songs with Hans Zimmer. But some songs she blends multiple languages, like Bulgarian, Celtic, and Aramaic. I think she uses what will make the sound she wants.
I'm surprised that you didn't know her before ! Actually, she s'been my favourite singer for the past thirty years and to my eyes, the greatest artist in the world. One should check her whole discography, paradise on earth !
Please tell me you have heard of Lisa Gerrard!!!! She was only the voice in just about every Roman/Greek tragedy movie from 300 to Gladiator. Oh and was the main vocal for "Dead Can Dance"
Lisa Gerrard is mostly known through her work with Brendan Perry in Dead Can Dance, and their live album 'Toward the Within' might be my favorite album of all time... some of the songs from it are on UA-cam, on video, so I would highly recommend them to you.
I’d add her work would be more known by the music she did with Hans zimmer , he described her as his go to for vocals , she’s that good . Like the gladiator soundtrack, and song at the end of the mist , or legends of the guardians, owls of go ule.
If you like Gerrard, seriously you'd be doing yourself a great disservice to not check out her band with the comparably talented Brendan Perry, "Dead Can Dance", I've been on them since about the mid-90's and they are absolutely breathtaking, a mix of her voice and almost a post-modern world music kind of thing ua-cam.com/video/kq59rEVWQNI/v-deo.html Just...utterly awe-inspiring...easily in my top five favorite musical outfits of all time...
I do love Lisa Gerrard. My ex called her "that ghost woman". Yulunga remains one of my very favorite songs. Please also note: she's not singing anything. This is pure glossolalia.
Yes.... Dead Can Dance, the great Lisa Gerrard! 'Sanvean', live is also amazing. Checkit out. Truly an amazing band in the 80ties. Thank you for this reaction, Rebecca! All their work is very special.
@@emwrisley1 I know. They are on tour again also. Just pointing out that they sounded amazing, ánd very different in the 80ties. (Most new wave, post-punk and so called 'hair metal bands' in these years.)
Lisa developed her voice from sitting under overpasses and mimicking the sounds of vehicles driving from overhead. This is not a joke. There is a documentary online where she talks about this. You can hear it in her entry and exits to sounds.
She's not concentrating on it, she's just speaking on it, and giving her opinions. Like, she's just going with it. Didnt take it in at all, which sucks but oh well...
Because she'd rather attempt to critique someone who's light years better then her out of jealousy. I'm embarrassed for her. She seemed very uncomfortable in this video. Obviously Lisa's talent was way to much for this " coach"
Ive watched a few of your other videos but was amused by your response to Lisa and I get it. She is one of a kind. She is an Australian artist, being a singer and composer. Her lyrics are what is called glossolalia, which she invented her own as a child. Her singing is somewhat influenced by the middle eastern singing style called Maqamat. She is definitely unique and I love her work. I actually played this track while driving through the desert in the middle of Australia at dusk. It was a profound experience. (P.S: I subscribed a few videos ago. )
The first time I heard this amazing song was during a pivotal scene in The Insider. Of course she’s best known for the Gladiator soundtrack but her other work is equally brilliant.
Her style is glossolalia, which is a phenomenon in which people speak words that are apparently in languages unknown . Not idioglossia, which is a medical condition related to the private language of twins or young children
This was interesting. This is the real value of viewing your reactions, there is always new things that pop up that you would never have heard of before. I love it!!
Finally a Reaction to the GREATEST VOCAL GODDESS ever lived on this Planet !.....Check out the whole work of Lisa.....Its originaly a DEAD CAN DANCE Song from 1998.DCD is not music,its a pure magical Trip into your deepest Feelings and Mind.I experienced Lisa 4 Times Live.Check out BRENDAN PERRY,her Partner in DEAD CAN DANCE.Both are excellent Singers.She made several Soundtracks with different Musicians and won an OSCAR for the GLADIATOR Soundtrack......you just scatched the surface of a MOUNTAIN of amazing Songs....we need more LISA for sure!!!!!!
You actually dared to listen to Lisa Gerrard! Welcome to one the best female vocalists ever!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!! Please explore Dead Can Dance... and please document you're journey learning about them. Please react to Rakim!
Floored! that is what I am now, because earlier when I saw this posting, it was like "Oh, I am sure Rebecca has a full working knowledge of the divine voice that is Lisa Gerrard" then when I got to the video, mouth on floor is from the shock of all of it. My first exposure to her was from the movie Gladiator, which was like what is this sound it is so amazing and transcendental. Later there was a Godsmack documentary I was watching and the lead singer, Sully Erna commented on how a certain number people has really impressed him, with their singing ability, she was one of them. (They have a lot great songs, but for reaction purposes, I would like to suggest *STAND ALONE*) I thought about getting one of her CD's one time and they were incredibly expensive, which if you are the best then paying for such quality goes hand in hand.
The complete Discography is Online on UA-cam for example.I am a LIsa/DCD Collector since they started 1981.Much more than 100 Records now on Vinyl and CD plus the DVDs and BluRays.Its a lifetime job to collect all the main and sideprojects of Brendan and Lisa.Enyoy the Trip :)
She's the singer on the Gladiator soundtrack. Look up "Now We Are Free" by Hans Zimmer or "Host of Seraphim" by Dead Can Dance for Lisa Gerrard's best!
It's a bit gutting that this vid only has 11k views...people are depriving themselves of a fantastic and unique voice. You will never mistake anyone else for Lisa Gerrard. Hope you do some more of her in the future. Lucky to see her live, guaranteed to put goosebumps on you.
Lisa is in my ears since im a kid. She is for sure best voice we have . Not only the vocal control, also how she transmit each sound. As magical as master. Other Hand you have choose possibly one of the best songs of Dead Can Dance... after 20 years to know and listen this song I still cry with emotion It is a voice impossible to imit you have it or not .... She just born for it
Lisa is an Aries. When Aries find themselves in the arts they do it differently. She's an original. I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't choose Savean.
This song and Meltdown. Two favorite songs from The Insider. But i didn´t know about Lisa Gerrard Before I googled "Soundtrack The Insider". I also thought it was a guy singing first verse on Sacrifice. But it wasn´t. Now I have found Another genre to explore. I´m a fan of Music lika Megadeth, Annihilator, Unleash The Archers, The Cult, Ac/Dc and so on.
So glad you were able to discover Lisa Gerard’s voice. I have been a fan of hers since forever and when she first began singing. We are all blessed to be able to hear something coming from the most beautiful vocal chords in the world. It’s my hope that you will continue to listen to her and become more inspired by her music. She did an interview not long ago describing the incredible experience she goes through when singing...it’s almost magical.
I know her since "Dead Can Dance" - her + Brendan Perry in the eighties. She's so pure when she sings. I've seen her 6 or 7 times live in concert and she's always amazing ! She's always centered, don't move when singing.... I call her the "voice of an angel"... ;)
I love your reaction! And yes, she is incredible. I love how you really appreciate her vocal and say "we are blessed hearing this right now." Hopefully now you can check out her large catalogue. So many amazing vocal performances of hers to discover!
Yes! Finally! I remember I suggested to you to react on this particular piece some weeks ago! So....thank you for listening to my advice! But, Lisa Gerrard and Dead Can Dance mean a WHOLE DIFFERENT UNIVERSE that I am strongly urging you to explore! (You are welcome!)
Lisa Gerrard is an angelic force that came down to us to grace us with her vocal skills. The woman has a voice that is not real. Creates her own language as a form of prayer. Its some deep shit.
This song has a very deep spiritual quality to it that I can neither explain nor quantify. There are very few songs that can take me as far as this one does.
Your reactions to Lisa's sublime vocalizations were surprising - and fun - as I realized you'd never heard her before!?! I've been a fan for over 35 years (DCD) and was incredibly fortunate to see her live solo performance in a fairly small local venue. Transformative.
If I remember correctly, I think "Sacrifice" has been used in the movie "Insider" with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino. Furthermore, the song "Meltdown" also by Lisa Gerrard and Pieter Bourke
one of the ethereal voices of the century - Lisa omg the likes of Enya et al. if you want to go to the past like really in the past or in the realm of the spirits - she's your Gal hhehe
Lisa es la muestra de que puedes tener una gran voz y hacer música excelente y memorable que sea realmente arte respetado a niveles muy altos; no solo es una voz, se rodea de cracks que hacen una música memorable y eso es lo que se quiere lograr: la trascendencia y no solo los malabares vocales que no terminan en nada memorable, ella toca fibras.
Sacrifice is: Gladiator coming home to find his wife and child hanging in the courtyard, everything they had destroyed. Lisa Gerard is Julliard trained, her ability to sing 2 vocals is called Diaphonic. She is not singing in a fake language, it's Aramaic and many others. I have personally met her on several occasions, including all of Dead Can Dance's instrumentalists (and Brendan). If you have EVER been in her presence whilst she is singing the rest of the world vanishes.
The song wasn't written for a film specifically but a year after its release it WAS used in The Insider haha Lisa Gerrard is such a passionate and unique vocalist. As is Brendan Perry (the other half of Dead Can Dance). I saw them live when I was 16 (in 2012) for the first time and I was stunned.
Lisa Gerrard is not a person. It is a work of art that has charmed for more than thirty-five years, a whole world of people with good taste and musical culture.
To me, Lisa is one of very few singers on Earth that truly has a spiritual, ethereal quality in her voice. Lying in bed, listening to this late at night while a thunderstorm rages outside, is a euphoric experience.
I seriously hate how underrated and underappreciated Lisa Gerrard/Dead can Dance is. I discovered Dead can Dance around 20 years ago, when I was around 12 and it's always been my favourite music to listen when I want to detach myself from everything. It has an otherworldly vibe and it's all thanks to Lisa's amazing vocal prowess. Also, I like how 95% of those who watched the Gladiator have no idea that Lisa Gerrard is singing Now we are free.
Just imagine someone deft heard this for their first time hearing sound they would have the best moment of their life. This is a blessing t ok hear this sound of an angel
Lisa is magnificent. I'm glad to see you have covered her unique performance. I've not had time to read all posts, so apologies if I rehash... If I remember correctly from watching all the bonus material on their essential boxed set, Lisa is friends with Russell Crow's wife, who helped facilitate her work on the insider, and Gladiator soundtracks. Lisa also sings mainly with simple vocalizations, not words. She explained, that after listening to the sounds her newborn made, she was singing in a universal language. PS. Rebecca, you too are magnificent and lovely. Love your channel.
Lisa Gerard is a beast of a vocalist who doesn't get enough credit. Winds That Shook the Barley is amazing.
I was just thinking the same thing. That song is pure magic
You right...😊
You’re such an idiot
Absolute unit
Lisa Gerrard is why I started loving folk, and why I spent years in a folk club. I finished my music career attempting to sound like her folk techniques. Couldn't have happened in a better way.
Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best voices on this planet. Not sure how anyone can describe her, but who cares, she's sublime.
You are a vocal Coach and have never heard of LISA GERRARD/DEAD CAN DANCE before?.....VERY VERY STRANGE!
Not everyone can know every singer.
@Black Toy but i didnt know her band too before even i knew her. By the way her voice isnt as deep anymore now.
@@jhonnash84 lol Ur mean to call her stupid. I knew Lisa Gerrard also Just AS solo Artist. I knew only Few years ago that she is in a band. The Industrie ist Very big. We cant know everything
Feride Dogan ok sorry.
What's it like living under a rock? XD No offense intended) Glad you've discovered her, she's truly divine. Peace, love.
If god exist, She's speaks to us by Lisa voice. Love Her solo , and Dead Can Dance of course. You need to listen Cantara, or Summoning of the muse, or Persephone....will blow Your mind.
Pretty well anything by them is just astounding...I just stumbled across them when I was a teenager and found Within the Realm of a Dying Sun at the music store, still one of my most beloved albums of all time...
yes i totally agree.
Got to see Dead Can Dance in concert several years ago. She is unreal.
kins26 Kinstheplay yes. Agreed on your choices.

Sanvean is another masterpiece of Lisa Gerrard, really emotionnal one.
named my dtr after that song.
Dead can Dance - host of seraphim, which was Lisa's most popular band she was in.
And still is.They are on Tour at the Moment in Germany.
Baraka 1992 Video?
I can't listen to it too often because it is so devastatingly beautiful and heartbreaking. I simply can't handle it.
"Host Of Seraphim" should always be played with this,it's like they were meant to be...even if there's a 10 year gap between both songs - heavenly is the only word to describe these 2 songs.
Host of seraphim. The video with the song tho.!!! OMG.!!
Lisa sings in a made up language of her own.. She is simply an angel!! The Host of Seraphim is so emotional to hear. Please check it out
ua-cam.com/video/35Dwo4QVLqs/v-deo.html
Host of seraphim is an unutterable ineffable experience. Chills to the bone.
She sings in Aramaic mostly. Its an old language, what Jesus spoke. She also does make up stuff, like in the songs with Hans Zimmer. But some songs she blends multiple languages, like Bulgarian, Celtic, and Aramaic. I think she uses what will make the sound she wants.
No, that is quite the fallacy. Lisa sings in various (real) languages, Cocteau Twins Liz Frazier uses 'sounds' in many songs and NOT all of them.
@@MrDos-vv4cc no actually she said in an interview she sings with No Words in any language - echolalia
I'm surprised that you didn't know her before ! Actually, she s'been my favourite singer for the past thirty years and to my eyes, the greatest artist in the world. One should check her whole discography, paradise on earth !

She’s a legend! Her voice once you hear it you’ll never forget it. Bless her.
The fallen angel who can no longer fly stayed on this earth to sing the nostalgia of a lost paradise 🖤
What an apt way to describe this beautiful Contralto singer
When a "vocal coach" realizes that they will never be able to even touch the genius of such a performance
Exactly, that's what I recognized, too.
Her voice is haunting ❤ very deep and soulful 🔥

HOST OF SERAPHIM, please!!!! In my opinion one of the most visceral interpretations ever
Interpretation? It is her own song.

I can't believe you havn't heard DEAD CAN DANCE. WOW.
Sanvean.
Her voice is sublime!
I feel like she's channeling heartfelt messages from another world.

How can "Sound of Silence" almost bring her to tears, but this not?
I don't understand either, how do people not get floored by her voice?

Theme from the film, "The Insider", 2000. Gladiator was much later.
This song and Meltdown. Two favorite songs from The Insider. But i didn´t know about Lisa Gerrard Before I googled "Soundtrack The Insider".
I also thought it was a guy singing first verse on Sacrifice. But it wasn´t.
Now I have found Another genre to explore. I´m a fan of Music lika Megadeth, Annihilator, Unleash The Archers, The Cult, Ac/Dc and so on.
This song has haunted me ever since I purchased the soundtrack for the film The Insider almost 20 years ago
She sings from heaven!!! true real angel voice!!!

"Gladiator" Soundtrack? heard before? it's her unique voice!
won 3 awards. pruduced by Lisa Gerrard ans Hans Zimmer.
Channeling the universe with her voice
Lisa Gerrard is an angelic force that came down to us to grace us with her vocal skills. The woman has a voice that is not real. Creates her own language as a form of prayer. Its some deep shit.
This song has a very deep spiritual quality to it that I can neither explain nor quantify. There are very few songs that can take me as far as this one does.
What vocal coach doesn’t know Lisa Gerard? I find that staggering.

I am waiting for the 'music composer reacting to Mozart for the first time' video.
For more than 30 years that woman has captivated and enthralled. There are no words for her. And she uses none. Rather fitting
Always excited for your reaction videos❤
Thanks sweetheart
Your reaction from @6:20 - 6:45 is priceless =) Glad you got to experience her music.
Space Weaver is another great song and video of hers.
I seriously hate how underrated and underappreciated Lisa Gerrard/Dead can Dance is. I discovered Dead can Dance around 20 years ago, when I was around 12 and it's always been my favourite music to listen when I want to detach myself from everything. It has an otherworldly vibe and it's all thanks to Lisa's amazing vocal prowess.
Also, I like how 95% of those who watched the Gladiator have no idea that Lisa Gerrard is singing Now we are free.
Lisa "The voice" Gerrard The greatest female vocalist of all time
Please do, Lisa Gerrard - The Wind That Shakes The Barley
Listen to Host of the Seraphim if you wish to experience an otherworldly masterpiece of Godlike quality that geminates with Love and Light.
Just imagine someone deft heard this for their first time hearing sound they would have the best moment of their life. This is a blessing t ok hear this sound of an angel
Not only listen to Dead Can Dance & Cocteau Twins, but give This Mortal Coil a run-through, too.
Dead can dance-indus, the lotus eaters, agape, kiko, wind that shakes the barley...my favorite female vocalist for many years, never disappoints.
Lisa is magnificent. I'm glad to see you have covered her unique performance.
I've not had time to read all posts, so apologies if I rehash... If I remember correctly from watching all the bonus material on their essential boxed set, Lisa is friends with Russell Crow's wife, who helped facilitate her work on the insider, and Gladiator soundtracks. Lisa also sings mainly with simple vocalizations, not words. She explained, that after listening to the sounds her newborn made, she was singing in a universal language.
PS. Rebecca, you too are magnificent and lovely. Love your channel.
Lisa Gerrard is amazing. Lucky I got to see Dead Can Dance live and it was everything. Please listen to more Dead Can Dance.
Lisa Gerrard is one of kind.... absolute greatest of her era.... brilliant in a word
