"Sanvean: I am your shadow" é uma canção co-escrita em setembro de 1993 por Lisa Gerrard e o compositor/multi-instrumentista Andrew Claxton durante os ensaios na Irlanda para a tournée internacional dos Dead Can Dance nesse ano. Lisa Gerrard afirmou que escreveu esta música com saudades da sua família que permaneceu na Austrália. A sua primeira apresentação pública foi em Sligo, Irlanda e depois gravada em 1994 no álbum ao vivo Toward the Within, e mais tarde em 1995 no álbum a solo The Mirror Pool e The Best of Lisa Gerrard em 2007. Como a maioria das suas suas obras, é cantada num registo eufónico e numa pseudo-linguagem emocional.
It has become an iconic song through its frequent appearance on soundtracks and other uses:
In 1995, it appeared in a Hermès 24 Faubourg advertisement.
In 1999, Paul Oakenfold incorporated "Sanvean" into his release "Perfecto Presents: Another World".
UK Health Education Authority used the song between 1998 and 2003 in an MMR immunisation campaign.
The 2003 episode "7A WF 83429" of The West Wing.
The Cadets, a top five drum corps in Allentown, Pennsylvania, performed their own arrangement brass, percussion and solo vocal throughout the 2006 drum corps season. The use of amplification and the un-traditional solo singer caused some controversy among drum corps fanatics. "Sanvean" is included in their 2006 recording Through the Looking Glass Part II.
In 2006, a free right-of-use of the song was given to the Dutch NGO 'Natuur en Milieu' (Nature and environment), for their campaign 'Geef natuur de ruimte' ("make way for nature").
In 2007, the third episode "Paradise Lost" of Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain, used an almost complete live version, which was broadcast on BBC2.
In 2008, Sarah Brightman included a cover of "Sanvean" in her album Symphony.
The 2012 episode "Last Straw" of CSI: Miami, used the song during the scene of an attempted suicide.
In 2017 Aly & Fila album "Beyond the Lights" the song was sampled in the track "Shadow"
It is a favourite choice throughout the world for weddings, funerals and other solemn occasions.
For many years it has also been performed internationally by Duo Spiritalis based in Switzerland.
