Dead Can Dance performing "Children Of The Sun" Live at the Village on KCRW 

Very few realize how rare it is for creating performers to sing with absolute mastery, 20-30 years later in their careers. Who knew Dead Can Dance would be their best in their 60s?

Anytime a singer sounds just like their studio recording is a sign of amazing talent.

This WHOLE ALBUM is FLAWLESS.

Dead Can Dance is a gift to our musical history. I wish more people knew their music.

Brendan's voice heals my heart.

unquestionably one of the most iconic bands of the 80s and beyond. Brendan perry is a craftsman like no other. Lisa Gerrard equally an emotive force like no other . dead can dance you are simply wonderfull.

The best male and female voice in one band! Amazing! 🤩🤗

If this ain't playing at my funeral I'm not going, srry.

I love watching them perform live! Nothing like it. Brendan Perry’s voice is perfection.

Brendan Perry is such an incredible song writer. Its sad that most people are caught up with 'Modern Pop' and wont experience his work.

We are ancients As ancient as the sun We came from the ocean Once our ancestral home So that one day We could all return To our birthright The great celestial dome We are the children of the sun Our journey's just begun Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun There is room for everyone Sunflowers in our hair Throughout the ages Of iron, bronze, and stone We marvelled at the night sky And what may lie beyond We burned offerings To the elemental ones Made sacrifices For beauty, peace and love We are the children of the sun Our kingdom will come Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun Our carnival's begun Our songs will fill the air And you know it's time To look for reasons why Just reach up and touch the sky To the heavens we'll ascend We are the children of the sun Our journey has begun All the older children Come out at night Anaemic, soulless Great hunger in their eyes Unaware of the beauty That sleeps tonight And all the queen's horses And all the king's men Will never put these children back Together again Faith, hope, our charities Greed, sloth, our enemies We are the children of the sun We are the children of the sun

One of the most amazing and transcendental music I ever heard in my life... Thanks Brendan and Lisa for many decades of this beutiful music...

This is a song that fits perfectly into these end times which we are living in now... he who wants to dive into spirituality must pay heed to what is said here... a song of faith and hope...

It's 2022 discovered this incredible talented beautiful band. Love this . Brilliant song

He sounds like the late Jim Morrison from the Doors. Just found this group and love the music!

Brilliance never dies!! Thank you DCD 🙏🙏✌️

She dresses like royalty, stunning

5:56 the chills are strong with the entire song, but I live for that part.

This song is we a warm cocon. I have seen Dead can Dance in Berlin at 1985 in the Loft Club on Nollendorfplatz in Schöneberg. It was amazing! 🤗🤗 Dead can Dance is forever in me!

What a majestic voice of Brendan Perry ..timeless

The goosebumps when the brass comes in towards the end...

This recording is much better than most of the others. Production of Sunlight takes between 10000 and 170000 years from fusion in the suns core until it reaches your senses...as light and heat ...plus...

Lisa's voice is what got my attention immediately when I first heard DCD many years ago but it ended up being Brennan's voice that I ended up liking the best. They're both incredibly gifted singers and musicians that have brought a lot of musical enjoyment to my life.

I love revisiting this performance every couple of years. Such a fantastic and influential band - I'll be looking up an artist I'm just getting into, be it metal, rock, pop, electronic, film/videogame music and so often I'll see Dead Can Dance cited as an influence. They're one of those bands that perhaps aren't charting constantly but whose footprint can be seen or heard in a great many bands, and will be for centuries quite possibly.

This is why I love music in general!! But this guys are out of this world. Awesome.

Sounds like a pagan chant from out of this world beckoning us to the greater mysteries of life itself. Love the arrangement of the keys, rhythm, voice and the very solemn look they all have while performing. Its quite an experience!

If I believed in the afterlife, I'd want DCD to be playing while my spirit transitions from this realm to the next.

Goodness I could listen to their music and them signing forever. Voices you'd never tire of.

Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry are brilliant, have been for 30 plus years and they have not lost it at all in fact the newest album is one of their best. Live just shows that Brendan's voice is stronger than ever. This tune is just beautiful. When I first bought this album this being the first song, just took me away, just as all their past work did, and does

Awesome and beautiful and Timeless, and hard to find the words....but they surely speak to the heart! Thank You Brendan and Lisa, and the crew.

They are God gifted... after so many years they are still Outstanding...

Incredible sound quality.. I love their music so much..it’s just not of this world..or maybe it’s exactly of this earth itself

OMG! SO MANY IMAGES OF BEAUTY ARE WHIRLING AROUND!

Dead Can Dance are one of the best bands ever. So beautiful. Thank you for your lovely music.

Me encanta la madurez de este grupo. Le ha dado lo mejor de todo... La serenidad, y se nota en su manera de cantar, tocar la música.

If you watch carefully, at 6:13, it's the only time in this song that Brendan sings with his eyes fully opened. Delivering that line! One of a kind song...

Sounds like a Cosmic Symphony.

My favorite group from their first CD on. Just look at how beautiful she is! They are both so talented.

Still sounds amazing in 2023

cried a river hearing /seeing this such beautiful soul beings and celestial work of art

I grew up in the 70,80,90…., I am blessed….. the music they are making now is ? 🤮… this song is on another level!!!!! Beautiful

The most beautiful song about human evolution.

The Goddess and The Divine God. Their voices ascending from Divinity. ♡ Dead Can Dance.

Okay. I did not think that it was possible for goosebumps to appear atop of goosebumps. What an exceptional performance. That voice and those accompanying musicians layering those lush sounds. Wow!

there is nothing like you, love you both

That man has a passion for the music he makes!! That's what i love

Any old timers out there hear a little Jim Morrison in this magnificent piece of music ?

I love DCD so much... No other band makes me feel what they do

Lisa is so beautiful !!!

I remember when I saw them live the first time, after buying every album they had put out...and I was stunned by the power of their performance. You just don't realize how those drums shake the walls and how Brendan's voice is far more powerful in the live setting than it sounds in these recordings. And of course Lisa is a legend, and rightly so. When that voice takes off the angels come to earth to enjoy the show.

No words for this project....because it lives in my mind. It's most certainly a part of me and who I am. Thank you DCD!! forever and always.

Im really digging this rythmn, (drummmer) not to mention the singers warm timbred voice ! Superb music. xox

Australia 🇦🇺 should be proud of this group pioneers of the Gothic sound Dead 💀 can Dance 💃 we’re cult in our time especially in West Germany 🇩🇪♥️

Уже много лет слушаю этот трэк и все равно за душу берет.

Love his voice,ever since they started...Dead can Dance is so unique,simply uncomparable...i have no words to explain ! ;)

We were at the concert in Praque two days ago. What an astonishing performance. We've been brought into their world from the very first song. Soo happy to see them

This song made me discover this band and now I am hooked on their unique brand of music!

2019.. Still solid...

Uno dei pezzi più belli in assoluto dei Dead Can Dance, emozionale, struggente e con un enorme messaggio di speranza... i girasoli sono la luce, il rinnovamento, la rinascita. Grazie per questo capolavoro musicale 🙏

Still filling and thrilling my heart three and a half decades after first hearing The Fatal Impact. Music. And Soul.

Happy Fathers Day and Summer Solistice 2015. We are the Children of the Sun!

Unique Voice Beautiful Music Thank You ❤️

Amo está canción! Gracias por todos! Su música me eleva a otra dimensión! Thanks!

30 ans que j écoute et je ne m en lasse pas,leur musique et leurs voix parlent à mes cellules, à mon être tout entier...

I've discovered the band long time before (now 40) the songs I heard talk and flow through to me, didn't You? best regards that band will stay forever with me...admired

Brendan Perry is a Magestic Composer all around and pristine vocalist in his own right* He has made his music, while at the same time his own Genre* Magical well into the night and into sunlight even.

Incredible how he gives life to an augmented reality just with his voice which roots deeply into our soul.

thank you Sandra Louise Maxwell for petting my hair turning me onto this song tripping in a hotel room exactly one year ago tonight. Here's to Crescent City. I haven't been able to relax since but that night I was floating on a cloud. a child of the moon. you of the sun. I hope you are well. justin

Lisa Gerard never fails to resemble a pagan nun from outer space. I love her so much! And this is a great jam! Thanks!

I bought this CD before I went on vacation in France.I listened to it many times at the beach.

The whole performance is awesome 😮 Great vocal Brendan goddess Lisa & musicians 🎶🎵😎

I was blessed with discovering DCD in 1990 on an alternative radio program in Canada. I was stunned, mesmerized, and nothing can compare since. This music is sublime, Divine, otherworldly, and deeply magical . BTW...DCD has been explained by Brendan Himsrlf as the coming to life of musical instrument, the resonance, what was still and inert, touched by the human and the energy of Soul....comes to life....thus DCD....not goth by any means....old Souls music from another world. Thankyou for 30 plus years of nectar.

I love seeing the emotions on their faces as they perform. So moving, and meaningful.

I Love Dead Can Dance!!! They are not from this planet!!!

One of the greatest musical artists of my lifetime. I have loved their music since their first release and have been fortunate to see them three times. The last in Quatro in Tokyo where they were right next to use as they performed. Amazing. Love to Dead Can Dance and thanks for all their inspiration.

This brings me to tears every time I listen to it! So beautiful and powerful....omg!

We are definetly the children of the sun. B E A U T I F U L

The best recording of this song, probably

What an incredible good song!

Damn... I remember when I first heard these guys... I was 19 ...I found a cassette tape in the laundry room trash while I was doing laundry. Took it to my dorm an pooped it into my then hi fidelity tape player... and it changed my life...

Mi espíritu se estremece y soy una con el artista, estoy contenida en él. Gracias por tan elevada y suprema emoción, comparable al nacimiento de una flor.

Après toutes ces années il na rien perdu de sa voix moi elle me transporte et ça fait 30 ans .

это великолепная песня. я не фанат DCD, но это нечто, что лечит мою душу

Magnifique paroles et comme dab un self contrôle que de bonne vibes merci merci beaucoup que de temps passer toujours aussi beau la voix de Curtis me transporte a chaque fois .....

C'est merveilleux !!!!! J'adore ce que vous dégagez et créez depuis des années. Merci de tout coeur. Sophie

Music of the gods

Discovered this group after watching the movie "Baraka" and sitting through the credits to find out who created some of the evocative music in the film...I had never heard of DcD before that...big fan since!

This song really fills my soul

Definitely my favourite band. Art in every note. His voice is so powerful and commanding.

Et oui les types toujours au top depuis plus de 35ans. Bizous et merci les DCD.

Thumbs up for the Dad dance moves alone!

Seen them once somewhere in Belgium. Since then, my life changed billion times ! thank you !

I was so happy about this album! Probably the best comeback in popular music history, at least that I know of.

Brendon's voice! Mmm great song!

His voice is still just as haunting now as it was over 30 years ago when I first heard it. The part at 3:54 gives me goosebumps.

Thankyou RU-vid for allowing me to stumble into this. I really like the languorous style of his singing on this. I also love the way that Lisa stands there looking so serene.

The most abstract yet intelligent lyrics ive heard in a long time.. so glad i randomed upon this wonderful music.

552,906 views and around 500,000 are probably my views. getting tired of this song ? .... NO... NEVER .... IMPOSSIBLE

This singer has some serious 2nd chakra sexiness!🔥❤🌏

man...whatever they fought about all those years ago still haunts them. It doesn't affect their performance but interesting you can still see it.
