Lisa Gerrard | I Asked For Love from Immortal Memory (2004)
Lisa Gerrard: I Asked for Love / Vincent Ward: Map of human heart
"I Asked for Love" is one of the most emotional pieces from the album Immortal Memory, a work that merges the ethereal voice of Lisa Gerrard with the masterful composition of Patrick Cassidy. The song immerses itself in the mystical and spiritual atmosphere that defines the album, with clear influences from Gregorian chant, Celtic music, and contemporary minimalism.
Gerrard’s performance is hypnotic and transcendent. Her voice, free from conventional language, uses idioglossia—an invented language—to convey pure, universal emotions. Each note resonates like an intimate prayer or an ancestral echo, creating a profound atmosphere of introspection and spiritual connection.
Cassidy’s accompaniment is subtle yet powerful, with sublime orchestral arrangements that enhance the depth of Gerrard’s voice. Delicate strings and ethereal choirs contribute to a sense of serenity and contemplation, wrapping the melody in a soft, meditative melancholy.

The MP in question who is prominent supporter of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was delivering his version of the Immortal Memory to…
