  • I'm not sure how I feel about this song, it's beautiful.. but at the same time full of despair and helplessness, implying that our only choice is to abandon the Earth, leaving it to it's own devices after we've left it. I'm not sure where Antony stands on this, but I still have hope for us and this world. We're meant to be protectors, guardians of the Earth. Let's not grieve just yet.

  • Just heard it in the closing credits of a CSI episode, very beautiful

  • beautiful song!

  • This song makes me feel so many different things all at the same time,its a masterpiece

  • so warm and soft voice... magnificent!

  • j'aime trop cette paix qui me pénètre lord de l'écoute, c'est tous bonnement paisible, t'est bien cool Antony.

  • Magical ....

  • This song is too short...

  • This guy is an amazing talent and artist. Real......

  • its just so pure from the heart,as long as people like that is in this world i have hope

  • perfect song for japan....sad

  • Awsum song, please check out mine... they are a similar melancholy

  • This song deserves a better dancer

  • @brendaak The dancer reminds me a child dancing around the carpet. It's not really beautiful or graceful. She's just feeling how it feels to move.

  • Oh my god. Fuck everything, I can't believe the beauty of this song. Simply, perfectly lovely.

  • while the song may be a longing for another world, it's helped me with the transition from summer to winter. thanks for making my autumn, antony! it's gonna be a good one

  • The End - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

    peep this

  • i miss the world

  • os movimentos são reinosos !!

    escrevo

    na massa do chão

    o nome que a chuva

    pronunciou

  • This takes away all I have, until all I can do is cry. It is simple, yet complex. Arcane, yet universal. Beautiful.

  • AGREE he is genius.

  • Brilliant

  • I've been listening to this on morphine in the hospital with a perforated appendix for the last few days. I came very close to leaving this world and this song, which was on my shuffling MP3 player, came on. I have no idea how many times I replayed it over those 4 days but there's no doubt that I'll be playing it until they operate in a few weeks. This song will be in my head - forever.

  • @kitcherloo

    Hope you're all better!!

  • @kitcherloo Mmmm... morphine

    

  • For all the Antony lovers: Check this out!!!

    love me | apologies from ART POWER

  • We'll never forget you.

    You've chosen this song and I hope you really have found that other world. And I hope you have found peace and joy.

    Rest in Peace.

  • Antony isn't a dead? ??

  • @kellygrunzie antony isn't dead!!

  • That is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

    It was used for an episode of CSI at the end, and I immediately fell in love with it... especially because it fitted so well with the dark stories of CSI :)

    His voice is so ... original, and truly profound. Aaah, gets me everytime :)

  • It gives me the thrills. Beautiful song. So pure.

  • Nothing but love and respect for the guy and his work.... Stunning xx

  • Love is the answer :)

    Nice voice

  • Lovely! So deep, so beautiful. I just discovered the band and the song at the same time!

    I enjoy it so much...

  • truly beautiful song ... the emotion is just so right on ... and pure ... this song is so right for what is happening in the world right now! ;-(

  • tietenvriend just open your mind a crack

  • If you didn't want to be the bitch here, why are you being the bitch here? My main point being, go be a bitch somewhere else

  • brings me into presence thanks antony

  • thin line between deep sadness and euphoric happiness. i am a traveller......peace

  • beautiful

  • for me Anthony is by far the best singer ever!!!!!!L-O-V-E it

  • w-o-o-w

  • I heard this on CSI: NY. What a very amazing and beautiful song <3

  • Yup, that's how I came here. Gonna play it to my students.

  • Ha! That's where I heard this too. CSI NY.

    I went out and found some other very good ones. I have loved Antony for some time.

    Check out Rapture and Soft Black Stars.

  • If you don't like it, don't listen to it. Reactions like Marno1 sais more about himself, then about the music. Antony and the Johnsons are realy great, thanks for the add

  • beautiful song. antony's too much.

  • Never heard of this group, but heard the song at the end of CSI's premiere. Like it.

  • Nice song...and stop the focus on the color of the lady's skin...enjoy the song with someone you love ,no matter their skin color.

  • I love Antony's love for women.

    May seem irrelevant to the song, but this video as well as may of her other videos and songs display this same image.

    (And sorry to the Johnsons...I keep referring to the music, ect. as Antony's :P)

  • magic!

  • i also miss pcc...i cant listen to any of the songs that were played there without becoming sad no matter what mood im in

  • I love this song! great singer, great song, great video! :D

  • Beautiful dance, beautiful dancer, beautiful song... Antony´s voice as magic as always.

    I love his music.

  • what does it matter that the dancer is black? she could have been yellow, or a man. its about the music and the dance. not the color of the dancer.

  • Beautiful! <3

  • hermosa cancion

  • every time i hear this song i think of my friend John because the first time i heard this song he was singing it in the Talent Show at PCC '09

  • i saw that show! he was great! ^_^ i miss pcc!

  • I'm gona miss the music......

  • Everyone should listen to Anthony & the johnsons, they are good for the soul. Always perfection.

  • just a few days ago i hears the first time of him such a beautifull voice

  • Comment removed

  • its not that she is black, its the style, the rhythm so to speak that she is keeping with it. for me, and this is just me, the music would go well with just scenery, not so much cut up footage.. the song is too simple and powerful for much dress up IMHO

  • Comment removed

  • Why does it have to be a "thoughtful black dancer" ? Are you racist?

  • so are the black music awards, the black engineers society and black heritage day racist? Chill out...nothing wrong with calling someone black, just as it's not wrong to call me white. I'm white... and it's NOT racist to say I am!! I work with a beautiful hispanic woman.... am I now a racist for calling her that?

  • Who needs to chill?

  • love this song soo much.

    put can't stay serious if i see this video.:D

  • love song

  • Piękne, chyba innym słowem tego nie można określić.

    Cieszę się, że kiedyś natrafiłam na niego, dzięki Jego muzyce świat jest inny, a życie niejednokrotnie staje się łatwiejsze.

    I love Antony's. He is implausible.

  • this song is so deep, it gets to you emotionally. I love Antony's haunting voice too, it just stands out to the song. :)

  • una delle canzoni più belle di sempre toccante emozionante, tutto e di più

  • chuuuuuut ! listen

  • Precious song ,precious voice!!

    Amazing...

    It touches my heart!!

  • Wounderful...it's so soft and ture

  • i call this Borderline

    oh my dear you are so poor

    idiot

  • You should!

  • i love reading comments, especialy when seeing people argue about singer sex, and not about music :D makes me feel so damn clever ^^ btw he is genius :)

  • haha you are fucking ass right

    in both cases!!!!

  • Yeah, nice one mate. He could have 5 heads as far as i'm concerned! His music is what it's about...xx

  • why does it matter what he is, everyone should juz listen to music for what it's meant to be...beautiful, and enjoyable, which is wat this song is. instead of discussing his gender and his sexuality, why don't you all give some constructive criticism and talk about his music and or lyrics....like jeez, i don't understand y ppl are always trying to somehow bring down others who are only trying to get to the top.

  • What about a knob on your system, that is indicated with Off?

  • brilliance, like love, has no gender.

  • @derlimehouse Love even transcends the species my cat loves me and I love my cat

  • One more quick comment about a queer identity. One does not have to be gay to be queer. I have very good friends who are not gay but identify as queer. Queer is simply the adopting of values that reject binary notions of gender and hetero-normativity. Which to bring it back to the original comment, a "queer" identity can include transgendered people, while "gay" does not always do so.

  • yes i meant that and i couldn't agree more.i still think he's a goddess.this latest album shows his shining feminine spirit.)O(

  • Dude kinda reminds me of a cross between the albino in "The Princess Bride" and Dave Thomas of Pere Ubu.

  • he's actually a transsexual.

  • Nope, sorry to correct you.

    Antony Hegarty is only considered transgender because he believes himself to be androgynous, despite the fact he's actually a man.

    He has undergone no operation or hormone treatment, he is just a gay man, who chooses to be known not as he was born but how he wants to be.

    an amazing musician/songwriter

    personally i don't see why his gender should matter or even be a subject of discussion.

  • And I'm sorry to correct you, but considering someone as "actually" being a ____ (man or woman) is also antithetic to being transgendered. He is not "just" a gay man... unless that is his identity... "just a gay man".

    The point here is that being transgendered, or antigendered, is of no importance. I believe you attempted to make that point, but I want to clarify that saying someone is "actually" something else "underneath", is also hetero-normative, and does not fit into queer politics.

  • hmm, ok, see you're speaking about his identity he has chosen it to be recognised (which i also mentioned in the earlier comment, but meh)

    I however was speaking of his gender as in how he was born with all male reproductive organs and none female.

    Also, please don't misinterpret me as hetero-normative, when you use the term "queer" to describe the workings of the homosexual culture, as that term itself actually means "odd" and to use it implies that being gay is not the norm or 'Way to be'

  • Agreed about the first half. I should clarify though, that "queer" has in many ways become much more acceptable in discourse than "homosexual". In fact, the term homosexual makes me cringe, as I certainly see it as a negative slur. I'm coming from an academic perspective where "queer" is the accepted term, and not pejorative. It is a tough battle in which language to use, and to be clear, I identify as queer myself. But regardless of such a minor dispute, we're making great strides for justice

  • fiar enough.

    and erm, well i empathise :)

    let me jus say that, as lemme put it this way i cant say much more than that, yet :(

    this is not only my account, otherwise i would say more.

    but anyway i'm not sure about the terms with which gay people should identify themselves, but i'm sure "Gay" will suffice for time being.

  • interesting.. i see homosexual as a bit clinical and kind of isolating when describing an individual.

  • Antony just get better every CD... brilliant song!

  • i really love this song.

  • antony you are a true goddess! terrible dancing tho get rid

  • do u know if this is the original video??

  • Antony is a man :/

    He is a white man, although he looks kinda feminine in some pictures.

  • Ya tengo las entradas! Ya las tengo!

  • beautiful. it just gives that feeling like you wanna get away from the world for a bit, but than by then end you get the feeling that earth's the best place for love, who knows where it would go better.

  • This song is just awesome - not too keen on the dancing though!

  • someone how knows the chords?

  • who*

  • I Love Antony!!!

    simply amazing

  • beautiful

  • I started out being so impressed by his voice, but honestly found the song repetitious after about 2 minutes of listening. I also had to scroll down so I didn't have to watch any more of the dancing. Just so silly no matter if you're a dancer or not. Kung Fu in slo-mo. Not my bag I guess.

  • i'm a haevy metal fan, but this song moved me in a big way!!!

  • her dancing is beautiful.

  • love this :)

  • i cant get over how great anthony and the johnsons are, i love so may of their songs and tehy are very emotional :)

  • Blind was recorded before I Am a Bird Now (in 2005), but appeared on Hercules & love affair album in march 2008.

  • does he do some vocals for hercules and love affair??.............sounds real similiar

  • Yes, he did some vocals for "Blind," among other songs that were featured on Hercules and Love Affair's album for DFA.

  • how can the world move on with people like you with these stupid comments,this music is unique and wonderful,,you people should open your mind and body

  • what a beautiful song
