Iâm gonna have to politely ask you guys to move on this, either way, because otherwise Iâm going to listen to it another fifty billion times and itâs affecting my mood.
The video is from the 1992 ânon-narrative documentaryâ Baraka, which is worth watching. Maybe only once, but still. Itâs all beautifully shot.
The song itself was released in 1988 and was later used in the climax of the The Mist, to equally gut-wrenching (good description, Rain) effect.
The band is from Melbourne. Lisa Gerrard went on to work with Hans Zimmer on Gladiator, and when she walked onto the stage at the Zimmer concert I lost my mind.
AnywayâŚ

And if youâre wondering about the Japanese dance at the end (you probably werenât) itâs about the atom bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, particularly people getting sick and dying afterwards.
Itâs the soldier (and his wife and child, I assume) that intrigues me.
Where are they going?
Is he leaving them for service? He seems a little old for that.
Edit: Screw it, Iâll keep going. This video is a massive humanity check for me. It reminds me how good we have it here, and how lucky I am, and not to sweat the small stuff, and also that lady-boy jokes really arenât that funny.
