I have always, ALWAYS adored your music. But I wanted you to know: After my husband's suicide in January, 2019, I suffered (and still do, but it's getting better!!!) Complex PTSD, and all its accompanying ailments such as depression, suicidal ideations, hypervigilance, etc... I recently turned again to your music, the songs that spoke to my soul in my twenties, before I met my beautiful James (I couldn't BEAR to listen to music we had 'discovered' together). And the effect was REMARKABLE. Your lovely, glorious, heavenly, haunting and yet joyous music has calmed my chaos, relaxed my reflexes, and helped me HEAL. So a very sincere THANK YOU and may God bless you from Beautiful Valleyview, Alberta, Canada. SZ xo ❤️🙏💓

[@1000sachenmuell]

All the best for you! I had the hoour of meet and greet DCD after a concert in Frankfurt in 2019 and Brendan was shaking my hand twice. I still recall this warm and healing energy. I also had the feeling that the band experienced something healing themselves in comparison to 2012 (They played in the same location).

As romanian everytime I hear bulgarian music I feel Im coming back "home". Im getting goosebumps, because there's something there, very deep.

As a romanian myself (Wallachian), I also must say that bulgarian music is deep and beautiful.

Bulgarian Folklore motives: The Sister is died. Her Soul is alive somewhere. Her sister is Invoking Her with the words: Sestro, sestroooo /sister, sister/ - Idaa, Idaaaaa /I'm coming, i'm coming/, meaning I'm coming to you. After that: Sestrooo, Djanam / djanam is commen word in Turkish for Soul/ - meaning: Sister, Your Soul / where is your soul/. - Idaa, Idaaaaa /I'm coming, i'm coming/, meaning I'm coming to you. Lisa Gerard - DEAD CAN DANCE - Well done.

É muito interessante a Romênia ser um país eslavo, mas ao mesmo tempo possuir um idioma tão familiar aos lusófonos. Quando ouço um romeno falando, posso compreender muitas palavras. A cultura eslava é muito bonita mesmo.

This is so beautifully Balkan/Slavic. My husband is Serbian and this reminds me so much of the Folk music he plays for me. Goran Bregović also loves to use the Balkan Folk sounds. Absolutely love it. As a Dancer, this music always inspires. The Celtic sound is also strong in the rhythms and vocals.

[@andrzejniemierko1408]

I dont think it's just Bulgarian, the idea of scaring the winter away with masks and noise is pretty widespread and still alive in many parts of Europe. In Poland for example it was adopted by Christianity by replacing shouts with christmas carols and adding an angel to keep the host of monsters in check but the idea is the same. www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2013/04/europe-wild-men/

WOW! How extraordinary! Dead Can Dance draw on so many of these early musical traditions from different cultures and creates the most powerful music and videos. Greeting to our #Bulgarian friends. Lisa Gerrard is an Australian but she transcends the world doesn't she? And opens up new dimensions in the brain.

[@MOREcrapy]

I just wake up and found this song,now i woke up again! НАЗДРАВЕ БЪЛГАРИ!!!

[@jeffblydenburgh5938]

This is hands down the best track on this album. I got into DCD through a friend in ‘91 with Into the Labyrinth and then bought every album preceding it. Then of course I bought everything that came after. I even have live bootlegs. Saw them live twice and saw Lisa on her very first ever solo tour for the Mirror pool. So yeah, I have been a fan for a very very long time. That being said, I will say this is definitely in my top 10 DCD songs they have ever done. And they have a lot of great songs… with a few minor duds along the way ( to my ears anyway). This song just oozes atmosphere and a portal into a self musical journey. A lot of DCD songs do that of course, but after all these years and their large body of work, this song is very representative of how they really can transport you onto a sonic musical journey of the senses.

Invocation of god Dionysos, the remains of a paganistic ritual lost in time and the rich cultural history of the region.It's inevitable to refer to the ancient ceremonies ("Anthesteria") dedicated to god Dionysos celebrating the spring coming, through these ceremonies people were asking the favor of gods for fertile and rich crop

Actually they have token Slavic pagan rituals after mixing with us here. They have lost their original language and toke our.

Just to make it clear. It's good because they toke it because during crusade wars and accepting christianity we forgot old ways. Luckily, tatars became slavs and save Serbian heritage.
