DEAD CAN DANCE WORLD TOUR!

No album review this time...


Dead Can Dance, with albums reaching No.1 of Top World Music Albums Charts, are reunited after 14 years and fans worldwide will have the chance to see Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry on stage once again!

Two of the best voices (for me, THE BEST) together again, and I hope they will perform again some of the ethereal/neoclassical genre defining masterpieces from "Spleen and Ideal" and "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun". Hurry up because half of the events in Europe are already sold out, almost 6 MONTHS earlier!!!!

My personal pick, the amazing (open air of course) Lycabetus Hill in Athens, which resembles an ancient Greek odeon; no better choice for a group like Dead Can Dance worldwide!!!See the rest of the places here

In today's struggling world, their lyrics are more timely than ever...

In times of great vexation
When one must choose between what’s right and wrong
Freedom, so they say,
Amounts to the choices you have made
Through all the arbitrary rationale concerning liberty
Freedom, I must say,
Exists within unconditioned minds

Reason has come of age

How can you be satisfied with things the way they are
When all that surrounds us now and so much more
Remains inside the keeper’s dark embrace? 
The insatiable thirst for power has made
Idols out of mortals, gods into clay
Soldiers into heroes, children into slaves
All damned
Desires
Their hopes betrayed

Who will suffer the laws
That say you can't decide your child’s education
Unless you pay the price? 


Who will suffer their laws? 
Who will suffer their minds? 
Who will suffer their words? 
Who will suffer their designs?
 
 



Dream, oh my dear..., and renounce temporal obligations
Dream, oh my dear..., it's the sleep from which you may not awaken...
