*died

[jonathanjameswalker]

@SuperSquishface Candy sure of leukemia... not aids.

[likeabawzzz]

When i'm down i listen to this. I'll still be down but it feels a lot better

[1pelillos1]

I'm crying, i can't stop, this song is so beautifull...

[mervglip]

It looks like old Marianne Faithful footage. Can Anyone elaborate?

[SuperSquishface]

@mervglip

Yes.It is footage of someone called Candy Darling, a transgendered person who worked quite a lot qith Andy Warhol and this footage was taken in the 80's as she was dying of AIDS

[seckhoffable]

I hope there's someone, too.

[Kolily]

Sad and beautiful... And the story behind the song is very touching. See the last letter from Candy Darling.

[sarahnademe89]

I have listened to this song, probably, about 5 times & I still cannot explain why I love it lol. To me, it seems like this guy has some previous vocal training, but his voice is definitely... unique... Like I said, I love it, but don't ask me why cause I *still* can't explain it lol

[lillith1218]

Ahm... beautiful melody, cool lyrics. annoying voice. sorry.

[Forrelito]

This is just... Amazing. Thank you, Antony.

[tixlot]

one of the most beautiful song ever

[Bmyself24]

I love this song thanx (:

[Polunderpunk]

Art!

[toopbeebz]

its like saying good bye to someone eventhough you know you will see the again it still hurts because you love them so deeply and genuinely...

I think that everyday... Hope there's somone when I die!!!...

[Blackbearry08]

I love it...

[hyperskreem]

unbelievable. I love this man!! like Nina Simone on LSD

[harmonyqueue]

This video in particular is really hard for me to watch. I know too many people, including myself, who are in that poor woman's shoes.

[hyperskreem]

thats a tranny =0)

[elten4]

i love this song..

i love his voice..

i love this music..

[bjorkismyhomie]

man, did anyone hear his amazing voice on the dull flame of desire with bjork? that's how i found out about him. :D

[theblob34]

i grew up without love or touch its nice to see loving poepale commenting here bless you all

[wedd456]

hope i'm that someone who holds your hand

[Aueneye]

Hold your palm over a lit candle. Does it hurt? Of course it does. To feel is to hurt. People aren't crying from a song, they cry because of the emotions it evokes within them. All human experience occupies the same space, the mind, and it's the mind which transports a person to feelings of ecstasy or agony at the slightest mental provocation. Therein lies the power of Art.

[theblob34]

well said thankyou

[GAFFTV]

Never a truer word spoken. Well put.

[tomgreenlives]

Beautiful....

[gabeuop79]

@Aueneye - - That's a very philosophically loaded statement you've made. And I happen to agree wholeheartedly with it! Cheers . . .

[capitaloneradio]

a) rhetorical questions are stupid

b) you write like bad teenage poetry

c) I now feel dumber through pretentious osmosis.

[capitaloneradio]

please, I've been corrected by people who were ten times the pseudo intellectual you are. If there was any justice in this world you'd be locked in a room and made to read your own writings until you pee your pants and promise never to do it again.

The emperor has no clothes, there is a man behind the curtain, and you are lame. My condolences.

[theblob34]

beutifal song sung buetiflily

[Maritinha2002]

Esta canción me hace sentir un montón de cosas...ternura, tristeza, alegría, abrazos, soledad...transmite tantas sensaciones...

Es fantástica.

[cooroykid]

a beautiful song

very moving

[meineLouise]

Deeply dazing and disturbing....and so beautiful.

[LeighRollo2006]

Like me

[Lionofjudah613]

I don't believe in god or life after death. This song kind of makes me wish I did.

[isfeidirlinn]

something tells me you already do, otherwise you would not have felt this way... open a door and you will see He was always waiting for you. God bless.

[kszychu23]

soon in warsow... great

[Fistulus]

Just heard this song and cried.

Moving.

[doodleplop800]

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[LeighRollo2006]

Hahaha! lol

[doodleplop800]

Don't cry to a song, it's pathetic.

[theblob34]

how much death you seen boy not much if any at all by your comment

[doodleplop800]

Not much two, three people. I can't even remember what I wrote now.

[negramaro85]

my fav song

[furandgold]

I dont see it like that at all. I see it as a destroyed woman after her child or mother has died and then her rejuvenation through it. I suppose i'm only saying that because my mother is going through it now and i've watched her fall apart and then pick up the pieces again.

[lambentfey]

Yes, art is fluid. It can mean whatever you want it to mean, and it can change. You as an observer can bring your own perceptions to it just as there is the intent and perception of the artist. That's part of the beauty of art I think.

[theblob34]

sorry your mum going throgh it hope she comes out ok

[lambentfey]

To me the ending sounds like the voices of all people swelling up from the earth, swirling through the air, and rising up into heaven carrying our cries for the love of god. I listen to this song just for that part.

[Aueneye]

Same here. To me it's like the rush of thoughts within the mind as it dies. All it's experiences merge together in one last rush of understanding.

[lambentfey]

Oooh, I like your thought too (giggles). I enjoy seeing what others think and feel. It can help expand your mind a bit more.

[theblob34]

i see what you mean

[miuxa]

so true

[ANTJMS]

Heart breakingly beautiful. Saw him in concert a few years ago and the man has presence. Can't wait for the new album.

[bioloka82]

la canción es preciosa, conmovedora. me encanta, se me ponen los pelos de punta.

[massymarques]

so touching...so sad...

[donrofo]

La almohada presta al abrazo pareciera ser la mía, mi pareja en mis noches y compañía,

en mis sueños y desvelos es a quien confió mis secretos y dolores.

No le dejo flores y si marcas de lágrimas caídas, el tiempo se acelera y yo sigo a la espera de alguien a quien pueda volver a abrazar.... Cada surco de su piel hacer ver mas dentro de mi

[XUK23]

esto es lo que dice la cancion??

[XUK23]

ok gracias por aclararlo

[donrofo]

Los años pasan sobre los recuerdos en la belleza verdadera de la mujer ante la espera. En su medio, junto a pétalos de flores parece deshojarse sin siquiera marchitarse esa bella flor... Cada zurco de su piel hace ver mas dentro de

[Jennifisk]
