2008 was another great year for dance music, and this was no exception - great voice & music - thank you for posting here. See also (Don't Worry) If There's a Hell Below-Curtis Mayfield & anything by Jimmy Somerville. .............PEACE.................DAVEDJ
This man has a sublime voice...a voice full of emotion and sincerity...the first time I heard this song I thought it was a black woman singing!...Didn't like the video at first but it has grown on me...like the Androgenous King Queen at the end..very mysterious...and Ms Winstone dipping her toe...testing the water so to speak...If someone said this was "Like the BeeGees" they need to actually listen to the BeeGees FFsake !!...This is a good dance track...excellent in fact....
@GANGARENE: He is on a league of his own really! You would definitely like Antony singing If It Be Your Will, a Leonard Cohen song. I cannot listen to that song without tearing up.
I do indeed see them as two very different songs BUT whoever said its like Girls & Boys has a point in that the bassline has some remarkable similarities. Either way, both are great songs and work in totally different ways
What I love about this song is that it doesn't push a specific genre on you. I listen to a lot of music, but blind has always struck me as somewhat universal. I won't categorize this song, it's a work of art with a great message and is easily the catchiest one of 2008.
Love the song, but what were they thinking with this video? Talk about buzzkill. Get over yourselves guys - its a dance track - a beautiful dance track, but a dance track none the less.
The singing, and the musical composition on this track are mysterious and compelling. I just love it. I also love the way she cuts her eyes at 1:25 schwing!
It's the guy's (Antony's) vocals which really lends this song to greatness. I think Hercules and Love Affair are in a kinda' Greek demographic and the voice nails it.
@hightimesbruce Since it does have similar chord progression and a similar baseline, it isn't - by definition - a completely different song. And it doesn't need to be. It stands on its own. No need to overstate the case and come off like a drool-mouthed fanboi.
Ottacon: If you actually listen to music, he's clearly not emulating anything. He has an actual passion for house music and disco (it's nothing like the Bee Gees, you ignorant a**hole).
Also, it's clearly disco-tinged, house, not "indie rock," you stupid mouth-breather. Just because something is indie doesn't mean it's rock; the two terms are not inseparable. Learn about music before subjecting us to your opinions.

its sad to say this but the sound that the fucking bee gees emulated back in the 70s is the same as this.....meaning its fucking shitty music ....ergo.....we are listening to the modernized version of the bee gees because its hip and indie and underground....but its still the fucking bee gees ....so.....we are listening to the fucking bee gees
bee gees= crap
hercules and the love whatever = hips and trendy*poser indy rock+the sound of the bee gees
So this song sucks because the genre is several decades old? Does that mean that all dance music, rock music, rap music, pop music, pretty much all music sucks because it wasn't invented today? You're really shutting yourself in musically.
come awn man this is some pretty good shit, i dont think that age will ever go extincted we have some of the best ppl with that kinda music one of them being Micheal Jackson
She's Ray Winstones daughter, she was in that film "donkey punch". This song is amazing, saw them live at bestival 2008 and they rocked, there are two girls who also do vocals, one of them, Nomi, is absolutely mega.
Don't get me wrong...I love this song & I LIVE for Antony but...it is a bit uncanny how this song is so much like Jimmy Somerville's "Tear Fool"! I'm just saying...
this song is such the jam i thought their other stuff would measure up. it so doesn't. and it's true - they totally ripped off blur. but they're forgiven bc i love both those songs so i don't mind.

Wow they stole the beat to Blur's Girls And Boys. Just cause pitchfork gets a boner for them doesn't mean it's good. The album was mediocre. The first half of Hercules was bland and unoriginal the second half was just alright. Nothing special.
