First time I heard this right through I cried, from then on every listen fills me with something greater then most music could possibly ever hope to achieve. Hope for true artistic expression.
Antony is perfect - why the need to classify - pop, alternative, male female, etc. who cares, it's perfect music - it touches you or it doesn't. No need for nasty comments if you don't connect to it, just move along...as I do w/music i don't get...sometimes I end up getting it and loving it later on.

I heard that Anthony had his leg 'Humped' By a randy Jack Russell when he was 5 and it inspired him to write this song? Apparently he also fucked a pig in his teenage years?!

Anal Beard-You are one to slam others. I have seen your ugly mug shot on your profile. Down right scary. Fashion tip. Your hair would look much better if you cut it short. Men who have a bald head do not look good with long hair on the sides.
Now after a few days looking on internet, I saw that Anonty he has been on Letterman! that is pretty mainstream! Funny how he had a top hit on the British Billbaord ==I don't think he did here in US, I can't see that happening. He probably has paved the way for Adam Lamber .lol
it's simply ART - he played with Björk, Devandra Banhart, Lou Reed, Marianne Faithful, Leonhard Cohen and many more of the BIG musicians of this and last century... ;-)
ah yes! the problem with fitting into a shape- how could i forget ;-) funny: i found out, antony might neither be a man nor a woman, but some sweet dolphin ;-) he sometimes moves like that on stage ;-) the more i listen to him ne less i could classify his music. maybe it's just a new thing...when people invited rap, there was no name for that first, too ;-)
so i suggest: dolphin music out the 5th dimension ;-)

i wasnt trolling i was just giving my opinion i gave him a chance because i was trying to find new music and my ears bled and hes voice makes me sick lmao sorry but its all about opinions if you like it then more power too you =] you have strong ears i must say
You don't have to like everything you hear. but you don't have to be an ass about it either. If you don't like it move on.,,but do the rest of us a favor and shut the hell up you talentless hack. Those who can't ususally shit all over those who can.
I love that He never seems bound by the need to make music like other artists. He makes music when he wants to and it really shows, you hear the passion.
Why do they have these comments facilities? nobody actually cares what other people think unless it is a warning that the sound quality or graphics are bad - So people don't waste downloads on them. Love ya.
Why must people, all people, even people that listen to music as beautiful as this, pollute the music by starting unnecessary arguments and flaunting your arrogance? YouTube literally reveals the flaws of the human condition. I used to think that people would only argue when it comes to remedial videos such as 'soulja boy' or whatnot, but people are now getting agressive listening to Antony & The Johnsons... Ridiculous. Its a sad sign of what we all are.
I'll never forget how I got introduced to this song. It was on Halloween, near midnight, and my friends and I were cruising around the neighborhood, in a somewhat secluded area. We had the radio on, and all this Halloween instrumental music was playing, then all of a sudden his voice just boomed out. It startled everyone. But it fit the haunting atmosphere so, so well. Now whenever I listen to the song, I'm reminded of that night. :)
Imposible ignorar su música, te agita el alma quieras o no. Es impresionante su aterciopelada voz combinada con una lírica y unos sonidos tan perfectos y emotivos.
Antony seems has lived longer than his years could tell. Certainly he can summarize with lyrics not just a how life might turned a bad page on each one of us, but how one might take a healing attitude and put the worst of a situation behind us. To those for whom I have been a dog, specially my beloved Manu, may this song/poem mark a new beginning and path to healing. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just had bad judgement and a false sense of responsibility. Love deserves better. Have peace.
Liking the Antony and the Johnson's sound on this album. It seems a bit more atmospheric than the last album, and it really places his voice atthe forefront, which, to me, is their most striking quality. I have to get this soon, it will be tough to top their last effort though.
do u normally trawl thru youtube looking for reasons to vent your obvious frustrations at life on unsuspecting video clips???...me thinks u need a hug......*hugs the emo*
First of all, you should not judge a musician from one song alone. Go listen to others, go know about him. And if in the end you don't get it, it only means it's not your thing. But don't spit on a dish before you really taste it. That's foolish. ;)
