I found this back in 1984 and it is still one of my favourite peices of music to this day - so unearthly yet connected. Great job Lisa and Brendan for creating this masterpiece and sharing it.
in many songs she uses her "own" language. She uses her own "language" or glosalalia, similar to what young children use to talk or sing or what some pentecostal groups use to pray
While dreaming during the day, we are imaginating, phantasizing. Imagination has a creative power. What we imagine, has a chance to become real, to become tangible, to become flesh.
Blimey...I've seen them do this 6 times live since '85 and it still sends shivers up my spine.....The bass drone live eats you up.....you feel it in your sternum !!!
@CorinnaDanjou it means "dreams coming to life, becoming true". Flesh is something tangible, something you can touch and feel and a dream is something immaterial. So something that you normally only imagine, becomes something you can touch, like flesh/skin.
This is awesome. While I agree that their live stuff is always amazing, it's difficult to get a live copy with the clarity and fidelity that one would like if they just want to sit down and listen to the music. "Toward the Within", and Pink Floyds "Pulse" album are probably the best 'live' albums I've ever heard. But, that's just my two pennies.
@QuantumYiN This song is amazing!!! I am very spiritual person, this band is very nice, and has haunting sort of music...which is something I`m always trying to find, and Lisa Gerrard does a perfect job, and has a perfect voice for this kind of music!
The track was released on a TMC album but was written/performed by Brendan Perry Lisa Gerrard and as such is not a cover version as some have tried to say.
5 March 2019, Palermo, Sicily. While we all are here living our puzzling lives, none of us will know for certain whether us Humans have really got a Soul or not, whether there is Life beyond Death and whether there is a God or not, so many of us may tend to conclude that Spirituality is just an illusion created by the Human mind. Yet the Dead Can Dance play music that makes "spirituality" somehow feel real, almost tangible, and that seems to tell us that Life after Death does indeed exist.

This song is a mixture of euphoria, hope, sorrow and disappointment. It's something very special.
I can't believe how beautiful this song is.
Lisa Gerrard has a voice of an angel. Long live Lisa !!!!!
Brendan reminds me of the anonymous mask used in V is for Vendetta in this picture.. Very handsome and rakish.
...this is sublime.
Period.

Reminds much of Edit Piaf with a dose of oriental touch. Strong voice but too noisy to listen much to. Their music is better where the guy sings.
Thank you for that info, sarkast. Fascinating.
This picture is beautiful.
It is
I concur.

This music speaks to my soul i feel it
Blimey...I've seen them do this 6 times live since '85 and it still sends shivers up my spine.....The bass drone live eats you up.....you feel it in your sternum !!!
Maravillosa...

Absolutely stunning.

Although this studio version is beautiful, I think the true atmosphere of this song is captured in their live performances. Truly breath taking.

This Mortal Coil

wow
borrowed feelings brought me here .
Also called "speaking in tongues".
Wenn Engel singen..schwärm
You can actually feel the feeling of the flesh only, so there's no proof of any real flesh: maybe it's a dream really. :o
@CorinnaDanjou It means brought into being . . . dreams made real . . .
capolavoro assoluto

once you've been dead and brought back...it puts a fresh perspective on things....there's universes stacked on universes out there.
🖤😰
Which album is this on? I can't find it in my collection! Truly one of their most beautiful pieces..
This mortal coil. It will end in tears.
M.E.M.O.R.I.E.S. ? :)
🖤
holy fuck, how does eternity manage to be encapsulated in this picture? I think it has something to do with the lighting
what singing language/style she sings in ?
What album is this from? I can't find it on any of my studio albums!
"it'll end in tears" by This mortal coil (1984)
but note it is an original DCD track written/performed by LG and BP of DCD.
Which live recording is this one?
She sounds like Laura Branigan!
@MagentaStraberry for sure. but i couldnt find a clean version :)
Interesting....but you might want to check your hearing perhaps :)
Can someone tell me why is it flesh and not flash? Im not english and I dont really understand the title with flash that means meat. Thank you!
Meaning dreams become reality
But is this sound of good or evil?
it depends in which mode are you,for me it is paradise
🖤🤍🌓
