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.
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
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.
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 :)
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
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
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?
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 :)
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.
this guy's got a great voice.....but when i'm feeling miserable i lock myself in the house until i can force myself to smile......does he need to be so public with his misery? brings me down just to hear him
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.
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
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.
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.
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
i have seen that video on canal+ just now on french tv about the last album of Anthonny and I was shure to find immediatly something on you tube about that singer,the time has come for for minimum music and show display but deeper soul!!!plein le cul de la pub pour les bagnolles ,les telephones portables et les teintes pour les chveux !VIVE la decroissance et le minimal art !

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.

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