This
song is quite possibly the
reason to
listen to
Dead Can Dance.
Haunting lyrics in an unknown
1 language surrounded by a swirling
maelstrom of
drums creates a nearly violent response from the listener. Regardless of musical
backgrounds or
preferences - I've found people I have
introduced to this particular song have always had the most
remarkable reactions to it. It's
driven in a way
music only rarely can be -
ecstatic is the closest thing I can
conceive of to use as a
description.
1...and possibly fictional? can anyone clarify this...? I understand Lisa Gerrard is often singing in a fashion that sounds like language but in actuality is simply sounds linked together to create emotional response... but I don't know about this song in particular - it certainly feels like she's saying something.
