Antony Hegarty - Interview Part 1/2 (about "The Crying Light")

[Moonlightrealgirl]

Does he seem just a bit sleepy O_O...

[Lucastitan]

I'm in love with his music. He's so sensitive.

[jcmti]

"we also used like a symphony to add kinda a forest around it". what a gorgeous description !

[astrofabio80]

11 october 2010, ELISA will be on stage in New York.

ANTONY, you're welcome!!!

[jaskov1]

You can tell he is such way because he was hurt all his life and is constantly sad. Because of that sadness and despair came his music and art.

[ostmagart]

@billyslad1 I think that I read that someone close to him has/had it. In any case he seems to have a sympathetic understanding of it.

[RacePointLight]

antony is the mona lisa of our time.

[Horushu]

The simple way he talks is just so beautiful and musical... pure poetry. And he is just beautiful.

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

oh god I remember his voice from "The Dull Flame of Desire" by Bjork. my god that song was amazing with his voice. didn't he also sing a few songs for Hercules and Love Affair??

[heatherrose2006]

ALL things are the stuff of the cosmos.

Where there is no black, no white.

No Muslim, no jew.

No peace, no war.

No wealth, no need.

Only was, is, will be.

[1and2makes4]

To me I am glad that artist such Antony and Rufus Wainwrigth and Tracy Chapman are not over exposted always played on the radio,because They have so much more to give then these cookie cut out artist now thank God for them.

[deborahsuewho]

Elvis Costello gave me Rufus Wainwright and thanks to Rufus for giving me Antony. It is exciting at my age to find exciting "new" music.

[eeyumpeeyum]

bjork gave me antony..and im etrnally grateful to bjork for tht..

[pooisavalidcharacter]

i think a good word for him is

boddhisatva.

also profound, genius, psychic, telekinesis

are good words.

[kain121]

He is an exceptionally profound thinker.....very rare man. He has brought a whole new light to his new album- of course, I did notice the nature thematics in some of the songs (i.e. Another World) but this interview has helped to elaborate on the meanings of his songs.

There should be a notice on "The Crying Light" directing people to this interview in order to clarify the meanings of his songs. This isn't pop-rubbish where the song is depthless- his music is a work of art!

[lkg4truf]

His eyes, his voice look so sweet and peaceful.... he makes me want to hug him and stay there in this friendly hug. Thanks from the heart, Anthony for everything you put in your inspiring music.....

[JUSTxBOER]

he´s so huggable! his eyes are really understanding.

[MicrophoneFarmer]

Oh my god! He is SO unbearably beautiful.

[tumbledon]

hmmmm...I can relate to him.....

[Ultanamobay]

thanks anthony

[bbable78]

He's so sweet :)

Really beautiful person and great artist.

I was born to adore him :)

[Jidkel]

Beautiful voice!!

Very emotional...soft,sweet,...

Lovely!!

[assraelle]

He is possibly one of the rare people who don't inhibit the kindness of their personality. You can feel gentleness all around him.

Saw him on a concert last night in Krems..

Beautiful..

[geee13]

hes so sweet

[zuluclegg]

As the video goes on, I find him more and more beautiful! Like the Beauty he has inside "overflows" out, if that makes sense! The Crying Light is an amazing album 5*

[withinspace]

He seems so gentle

[hallilad]

he's such a pleasant human being. he's peaceful to listen to. he's the kind of person you'd love to get to know :D

[Karmen89jaen]

[ddbremnernz]

Antony is awesome!

[Aueneye]

Wow, what an amazing guy.

[superwolf76]

Kind. Sincere. Mature.

[jadanzzy]

[timelabor]

[andisart]

he´s adorable, very sweet

[tmaj000]

it's so nice the way he talks about Bjork! i love him! ^^

[ostmagart]

I cannot believe that YouTube has pulled his video "Epilepsy is Dancing" It is totally BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL! From their official site about that:

Latest news - January 27th, 2009: "Youtube has removed the Epilepsy is Dancing video because it is supposedly indecent!"

[LayItPlayItDown]

I cannot believe it either.

Especially since the video are up on YouTube anyways, uploaded by several "private" uploaders.

The original source can't upload it but you and i can = weird.

[IWhentOut]

there's nothing indecent in that video. it's beautiful. if they pulled that one they should pull some of the videos from the musical Across the Universe as well cus there's "half naked" women too.

[billyslad1]

@ostmagart Does Antony have personal experience of epilepsy?

[Sirenusemermaid]

Really nice, like his music..

[cruiser277777]

excellent album, just bought it yesterday

[dereksmallsuk]

hey Antony!! your music is BRILLIANT!!!!

[EbbaTheGreen]

gotta love his accent. you can still hear a little of that british inside of him, and there's definitely a bit of irish there too, but seeing as he's lived in america for such a long time he's got that american accent going on as well. anyway it's pretty cool. :)

btw, the interviewer's voice is making me laugh so hard haha. i picture him as a little mouse or something...

[cinestar2]

especially the eyes, so beaming and true

[xhaxhkazulu]

he has a very beautiful face, doesn't he?

[polkadotpants]

He reminds me of a cherub :)

[knopfohr]

oh weia, er ist einfach unglaublich, auch ohne drogen, seid einfach dankbar,daß es solche menschen (wesen)gibt. Aber wie es scheint, haben viele dieses Geschenk erkannt.

[acdcrocks1993]

antony is great i saw him live and he was amazing

[cinestar2]

nature and almonds??

[Chippiej]

elements, not almonds :P

[mythoe]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[imaginationfailed]

He's glowing almost literally, isn't he? Oh God, I adore him so much!..

Finally we're going to listen to his new album. That's gonna be something unprecedented.

[dodoriazarbon]

Very hypnotic voice, though he sounds exactly like Bjork (speaking)

[WelfareChrist]

yay new antony! yay!

[eeyumpeeyum]

his voice is just amazing...
