[CJPNYCPA]

this song is so moving, scary and inspiring that it brings tears to my eyes every time i hear it

[kumoyuki]

"And you who can be silent in four languages

your silence will be considered your consent.

Ah but those were the days before the audience.

And what the audience wanted.

And what the audience said it wanted..."

chills...

There was an old married couple and they had always hated each other, never been able to stand the sight of each other, really.

And when they were in their nineties, they finally got divorced.

And people said: Why did you wait so long? Why didn't you do this a whole lot earlier?

And they said: Well, we wanted to wait until the children died.

...no more words..

This is easily the best thing she's done since 1981. And it's the only vocal performance by Antony that doesn't irritate the shit out of me.

@quasarsphere Antony? This is Laurie Anderson's voice through a synthesizer.

[afterwardswhat]

@akronymn1 she names the voices. they are each a different character.

[akronymn1]

@quasarsphere but yes, I agree this is far and away my favorite work of hers since big science.
