BREATHTAKINGLY haunting, I heard your soul sing. May Marsha P Johnson know that you life and what was placed in the complex bowl of humanity was not in vain. .......THE GOOD IN HUMANITY HEARD AND FELT YOUR PAIN AND ANGUISH WHILST YOU WERE PART OF THE PHYSICAL WORLD.

[marcolun]

First and foremost, im actually a hip-hopper. Not that i'm superficial, i know my roots and i'm open to other genres, mostly black music like reggae or 60s/70s soul, but for a few months i'm really diggin indie and singer/songwriter music. i stumbled over antony and the johnsons by chance and was immediatley astonished by his powerful voice and the feelings he's teansporting. I'm practically trying not to cry everytime i hear this song, great singer and great message!

[Maluver4Life]

aww 0:57

[gapfaction]

first time i heard this song was on the tv show Bones. And i thought it was a elvis song. =P

very nice song though!

[wanasa01]

@gapfaction yeah i heard it there aswell and ran to youtube. sounds like freakin elvis :D

[gapfaction]

@wanasa01 LOL! Great!

[derblaueangst]

Wonderful music! Antony is undoubtedly a great artist.

[heatherrose2006]

Redemption draweth nigh, Peace.

[MissDusty03]

Mmh, wonderful video and great song, bur I'm asking myself what happend with the little girl? I dont think Sophie died, sophie is also chattevisage's real name?!

[Lillahtobh]

Hello MissDusty03 I am sure ur right, and that the little girl is Chatte Visage from yesteryear, such a lovely and weepy vid, so sweet., I love it

[saphirbloom]

yesteryear? :)

i say that sometimes ahaha

[inahappydaze2]

Beautiful song about life. Thanks ChatteVisage for posting

[TenderGenderBender]

This video was very touching.

My deepest compassion goes to her loved ones.

[nschenk]

This is so beautiful and sad.

[MrLvanB]

Beautiful.

[taikobi]

Why make such a ridiculously inappropriate comment at all, let alone for a video that is clearly a meaningful tribute to someone that died very young. You're another one of these asses that feel SO empowered and that they can reply with impunity from behind a keyboard. Shame on you pal. Grow up.

[mierdaquevuela]

mah boi

[mierdaquevuela]

that was the answer i was looking for

[itcouldgetworse]

This little girl must have meant a lot to you...beautiful video, I like especially from 3.50 to 4.01 because it holds such a deep message. Thanks for sharing!

[Lillahtobh]

Another wonderfull song from Dear Anthony, you have such a captivating voice. Love you lots Anthony. Lillah.

[marathonman21]

What a unique voice. Until a few days ago, I had never heard on Antony and the Johnsons. Talent knows no boundaries.

Bravo/Brava -- who cares?

[mirremirrful]

like it

[terigower]

what a fitting tribute to

MARSHA P JOHNSON.....

ITS FAVOURITED ...will play often ....and sharing on to friends on yt

[kingstonguy]

The song was inspired by and dedicated to Marsha P. Johnson, a New York drag queen/gay activist whose body was found in the Hudson River in 92 (ruled suicide, but questionable). "The Johnsons" part of the band name comes from her.

[stevenlaguna]

Thank you for this explanation. I did not know, but love this song. I love all of the group's songs. They're amazing. Hauntingly beautiful.

[evieiable]

@kingstonguy Long ago, she was pulled from the mire.

[Aidan0128]

@kingstonguy

SO beautiful, so beautiful, this song has a whole new meaning to me now... Thank you so much.

[jjmkismymiddlename]

*Sniffles* and what not :(

[S76N79]

beautiful!

[Apollo70]

i'm getting so sad! R.I.P //BJN

[Soozi8870]

Who sings this?

[Shameless1AtL]

by Antony And The Johnsons:

[Niotku]

This is just so gorgeous. 1:44 is nothing less than pure magic. I love this music.

[marchonus]

oh my God, i've never cried so much in all my life. Sophie you will always be in my pants... oh i mean prayers.. prayers :)

[birdstuckinchimney]

Oh I see now why she is the subject of this song.

[Qaliara]

I swear this sounds like something Janis Joplin would sing... I can just hear her wailing in sublime agony to this.

[Qaliara]

I haven't had a cry like that in... too long. This song evokes memories of too many gone too long, and I think it's devastating in its beauty.

[power99fiona]

i love this song..i crie so much :(

[laughlovelivealways]

i think antony just ripped out my heart.

heartbreakingly beautiful

[eadora]

I have suffered such loss - When I heard this - My Heart Broke - I Wept

Thank Antony and the Johnsons

Catharsis - I still weep as I sit here

[birdstuckinchimney]

I hope that your loss is not too overwhelming eadora. God bless you.

[birdstuckinchimney]

Given this song is about death I'm guessing that this little girl died????

[marchonus]

yeah she's dead, terrible hair straightening accident

[birdstuckinchimney]

Gosh that's so sad. If only she had realised that she was beautiful with curly hair.

[marchonus]

:'( i know :'(

[mialechenn]

I love the lyrics!

[ShockResistor]

Having a child creates a river of sorrow.

[ChatteVisage]

A river with a large mouth.

[ericmcfadden]

@ShockResistor that's what diapers are for

[CorneliaFromSweden]

[ChatteVisage]

@Tigerdricka The video was made for personal reasons & was posted on YouTube as a means of sharing. If you do not like it, do not add it to your favourites. If you like the song, go out & buy the album.

[impossibleape]

has she been swallowed by the river of sorrow?

[MusicInsomnia]

What's there to add?
