Antony and The Johnsons - Soft Black Stars (live)

Live at Festival Territorios Sonores Sevilla (2005)

I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy EP (2001)
(Current 93 cover)

Little children snuggle under soft black stars
And if you look into their eyes soft black stars
Deliver them from the book and the letter and the word
And let them read the silence bathed in soft black stars
Let them trace the raindrops under soft black stars
Let them follow whispers and scare away the night
Let them kiss the featherbreath of soft black stars
And let them ride their horses licked by the wind and the snow
And tip-toe into twilight where we all one day will go
Caressed with tenderness and with no fear at all
Their faces shining river gold brushed by soft black stars
And angels' wings shall soothe their cares
And all the birds shall sing at dawn
Blessed and wet with joy
You and i will meet one day
Under the night sky lit by soft black stars

Antony is an angel...

[Dreamsofashadow]

Antony's voice is eons more resonant and evocative than David Tibet's. This song always struck me as beautiful... but it didn't *strike* me until I heard Antony sing it.

@Dreamsofashadow

I dunno. Tibet's version is more raw. This is more polished. A little too much imho. Not saying it's bad but Tibet's version seems more honest.

[RICKSTANGER]

can`t help but think i may never hear anything as emotive as his voice ,he has the ability to haunt your soul
