Dead Can Dance Biography

Dead Can Dance (sometimes referred to as DCD) are an ethereal neoclassical duo formed in Melbourne, Australia, in August 1981, by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. The band relocated to London in May 1982 and disbanded in 1998. Their 1996 album Spiritchaser reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top World Music Albums Chart. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance as having an ambient style of world music that "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty...with African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chants, Middle Eastern mantras, and art-rock."

Dead Can Dance Lyrics

Dead Can Dance - The Wind That Shakes The Barley Lyrics

I sat within the valley green
I sat me with my true love
My sad heart strove the two between
The old love and the new love

Dead Can Dance - Don't Fade Away Lyrics

Don't fade away, my brown-eyed girl
Come walk with me, I'll fill your heart with joy
And we'll dance through our isolation
Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow

Sail on silver wings through this storm
What fortune love may bring back to my arms again
The love of a former golden age

Well, you've seen it ten times before
I thought that you had it down
With both your feet on the ground

Who never knew of them at all
Resigned to the hands of fate
We await her impending beck and call
