I searched for a video for the song "Fortune Presents Gifts Not According to the Book" and came up without one, but without empty hands, too. I found this:
And this:
Neither seems remotely "official." They're fan-made videos, as far as I can tell. The former is an unreleased DCD song from the late 1980s, and the latter song comes from Gerrard's under-distributed, quite beautiful album "The Silver Tree."

It is not difficult to imagine that Lisa Gerrard has the most beautiful voice not only on the planet but in the whole of the universe.

I also found this live version of "Space Weaver," from Milan, in 2007, and I can assure you there is nothing transcendentally beautiful here, nothing that promises the world can be a warm and safe and loving place, nothing whatsoever worth wasting your precisous time. The camera hardly zooms in at all. And the recording sounds a bit tinny and muffled.
So, never you mind. It's Super Bowl Sunday, our nation's greatest religious holiday. Kickoff is mere hours away.
OK, OK, hush now.

And I found this long, long list of rarities, B-sides, soundtrack cuts, and lost songs from Dead Can Dance and Lisa Gerrard. (Deep sigh.) Now I've got some scavenging to do.

But I should work now. Shouldn't I? Yes, yes, yes, I should.
I should.
