My wife took me to see Dead Can Dance in San Francisco right after we got married, I had no idea! Lisa Gerard’s voice permeated my soul. 16 years later that woman died in my arms, she so loved Dead Can Dance. We would play this music on our sailboat while we swung in the hammock drinking wine up on the main deck. I cry every time I hear her voice, that oh so beautiful ghost that still haunts my soul to this very day. I hear this music and can still smell Karen’s hair, sweet memories of her flood back and for just a brief moment a tender mercy of happiness flits across the arc of what’s left of my life. I’ll never love like that again, but this music helps me remember…

Sad,but great story,you lost a friend but he introduced you to a vocal phenomenon.

If God is a woman, she has the voice of Lisa Gerrard

Lisa is the difference between a performance and a spiritual journey.

there are a few performers in the world that can stand alone in the middle of a stage and absolutely overwhelm you with the beauty of their voice. I feel blessed with every opportunity to hear her sing.

This is not humanly possible. This is out of any world. I think God spoke back to Lisa.

Doctor: You are left only 5 minutes to alive. Me: Play this music. Doctor: but, it's 8 minutes. God: it's ok.

Ancient was a perfect word to use. The moment I read that word in your comment, I got chills.

black clothes. arms still. hair pulled back. no focus on anything BUT the voice. And a world opens up as there is no distractions. Very different from todays performers.

It's like a cauldron of sadness, regret, pain, loss, remorse, hate, fear, anger and darkness was poured over your body and soul which consumed you with all the worst feelings and experiences you had in your life. Then. Light appears, then hands reach out grasping you with care, comfort , love and pull you from the dark and stop your torment and fill you with love. As you rise you realize your sins are forgiven and all who you love are watching you come home, forever.

Today in Gaza, terrorists bombed a hospital which was sheltering not only the I'll and injured, but also those sheltering from a war raging onward by a terrorist organization known as hamas. As I listen to this song now, with eyes closed, once again, images of many in complete anguish filled my mind, filled with fear and desolation as a bomb exploded in the hospital they are in. Tears come to my eyes at what they must be feeling. This song relays all that they are going through. But this exquisite voice also has hints of hope in it. Dear God, in your mercy, lift up the people suffering now, in both Israel and Palestine. Be with them now...

When I was a young boy I went on a holiday by a lake, one day we were invited to take to the water on kayaks, it was a thrilling experience I have thought about it often, riding paddle in hand atop the still surface of the lake. This strange music speaks to the longing of my heart to once more return to that lake and fulfill my one desire, to tread like Christ on the gentle waves inside the miracle that is, a kayak•

Her voice makes me cry always.

Emotions Overload.....Tears,Breathing Problems,Goosebombs,Heart Ache,A Million Memories at the same time.....no other Human can cause all that at the SAME Time !!!!!

This song changed my life

Lisa Gerrard (& Pieter Bourke) Channelling something from the Beyond. I have a personal relationship to this song. I listened to this album while I was in labor with my first son, Noah. I listened to this track at least 15 times over the course of my twelve hour labor. It helped bring my boy into this world. Tragically he lost his life 3 years ago, at the age of 18, and now the song has extra meaning. He is in the Beyond. The place from which he came. This song helps transport me to where he is... Thank you

Sometimes you come across with something that will make you addict in couple of seconds. Lisa Gerrard's voice is one of those things for me..

Magnifique je ne m'en lasse pas depuis bien 20 ans

Amazing how effortless she produces these sounds. There is hardly a change of expression on her face as she hits these amazing notes. Serene and other worldly.

Everytime l hear this song l think about Jesus, the immense sacrifice, dying for us. Pain and pure love

Best performance i’ ve ever listened to

This woman and her voice make me feel so vulnerable. I feel like she sings like angels may sing in heaven. This is so powerful. I'm disconnected to my body when she sings, it's so weird.

It's just pure perfect

She takes me to middle earth, I mean physically takes me there. Growing up pre-smart phone Britain with our old stories and culture, instilled a sense of longing for a magical place, like the Norse idea of Midgard and the other planes. That’s been paved over with corporate buildings and answers to every question (sometimes with threats if they’re questioned). But her voice revives that belief, that it is out there somewhere, maybe I’m too close to the cities, or maybe it’s something we haven’t created yet, or forgotten how to create… Perhaps one day.

Lisa probably is the Holy Grail of spiritual practice and divine manifestation through music.

If anyone else could sing like her it would probably still be Lisa Gerard. I can't think of anyone else to match her range her beauty. I love her I always will.
