not too keen on the seed of my heart being passed off as a dead woman

[thecoolmambo]

ouroboros because I thought it would be fun to make my pagan friend a wickerman for halloween... not too keen on the dublin punk scene right about now.

[thecoolmambo]

it reminds me of someone who died four years ago, 3 weeks before I was given the ray key. Unless I'm now destined to be the wife of Tutenkamin. Its like me and the child I had 1 year later heart was given away.

[cachaslokas]

making poetry out of a flaw...

[MengoCuz]

W Bros all up in this (BEAUTIFUL) bitch.

[Rossocarminio86]

I'm sorry but I still think this song is somehow offensive to the epileptics. It's like dedicating a love ballad to chemotherapy. Antony should better have epilepsy himself to back this one up....No, people don't just rise up and walk away after the seizure feeling like they woke up from a wonderful dream.

[Interactivesystems]

@miromirt sometimes you do, sometimes its the best feeling humanly possible.

[triixxiii]

@miromirt I have epilepsy and I think this song is nothing but beautiful I have to say. And yes, some people do rise up. I did.

[arabiansanchez]

@miromirt I think you've missed the intention of the song completely. Do you really think Antony is going out of his way to say that epilepsy is 'fun?'

[arabiansanchez]

@arabiansanchez The final, repeated line 'Oh now it's passing, and now I'm dancing' should provide you with a clue too.

[miromirt]

@arabiansanchez I don't know, it all just seem gratuitous to me.

[arabiansanchez]

@miromirt that's fair enough if you think that, but I'd suggest you haven't understood the song, or that you're choosing not to.

[arabiansanchez]

Here's Antony's own view from the album commentary:-

"Epilepsy is dancing is kind of like a waltz: a narrative that describes someone sort of losing control of their body and have a kind of transcendental experience then coming back to their body. It’s sort of like, how something can feel so out of control, in the moment, but when you look back it almost had a sort of choreography to it or you could make some sense of it or there's just some things you don’t understand why they happen."

[toribjork10]

@miromirt how the hell is this a love song to epilepsy? where in the song did you get that impression AT ALL? because you "somehow THINK it SEEMS offensive"??? it's like you're just looking for a bone to pick with the song just because it has the word "epilepsy" in the title.

[coolkidz145]

I love the way Antony glides across the screen. it's hilarious and beautiful at the same time!

BOOBIES.

[pinkwatervalentine]

not the best music for an upcoming depression...but it's so wonderful -sigh-

[bldywrst69]

i like how they share her all around^^!

[1morehouse4me]

Some peoples trash is art... this is definately not my art... so I guess it's the other... WTF is this crap, an ecstacy trip, LSD? Epilepsy is a horrible short circuit in the brain causing a storm that creates havock on the body and damage in the brain it's self... so I'm sorry, this was just beyond bizarre, not a siezure, but maybe a stupid spaz attack at best...

[extinction67]

@1morehouse4me I suppose i agree with you... i watched this video like WTF!?!?

I'm glad to admit though, I'm actually loving this! so i've just downloaded ^_^

So nice with a bowl of soup, this, and a glass of wine whilst the wind and rain battle against the windows :')
