Baraka - Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim (REACTION)

[@michielbuse4386]

Soul crushing combination, this suffering combined with this highly spiritual music, just opens your mind to what people can do to their kin, and what they could achieve with more compassion towards their next of kin!

Found you from Tori Amos reactions and love that you've found Dead Can Dance. Such gorgeous, sumptuous music that absorbs into one's whole being.

The entire album that this track comes from, "The Serpent's Egg", is mesmerizing from stem to stern.

[@SaeedReacts.]

What a title!

"The Host Of Seraphim", the beginning of "The Serpent’s Egg". I bought this CD just after the premiere (1988) and I see it now on my shelf. Amazing music. Whole album. Anything they did.

I want to take a moment to call out the rest of the Baraka soundtrack as well. Michael Stearns created the soundtrack and curated a number of tracks such as this one that are intricately interwoven into a dark and beautiful piece of work. "Wandering Saint" is a particular favorite.

One of my all-time favorite band!!! Love me some Dead Can Dance!!!

[@j_nightshade]

Excellent artist! All I have all of their music!

[@Grithron2]

Even so, the ululating part of the song I tend to associate with slow-motion footage of a diving kingfisher (that's how David Attenborough used the song)

Uniquely beautiful.

Has it always been this way for humans in every culture. It seams like there have been a few where the people (like native Americans)?, took care of each other and there was some equality??? Anybody? Ive really been thinking about it, cuz how things are all over the world.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great question. Very few that i am aware of. Ofcourse i am not that knowledgeable. I think the Minoans of Crete were considered pretty peaceful. Recently i read about a civilization in the Indus Valley. They discovered very few weapons and no traces of battle or that an army even existed. Very interesting.

@@SaeedReacts. There's a great book you probably know if, "the power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell! So amazing about every culture and there legends and myths and their meanings, known or studied. He's an absolute expert. I've read it a couple times.

Wonderful reaction / Thanks Saeed ! 🔅🟠🌍🌎🌏🌐🌍🌎🌏🟠🔅 " A portrait of humanity" is a good assessment I feel strong empathic sorrow every time I see that boy begging ..............fending off sleeplessness ...

It's heartbreaking to see children suffer. That knowledge alone is at times too much to bear. Very powerful piece of art! Thanks for this one!
