I became obsessed with this song when I first heard it and sent a link to my sister and her partner only to be greeted with derision! I was so disappointed at their reaction; I simply couldn’t understand how they managed to miss the utter beauty of this!
@@nickb442 Well. I guess, on reflection, it’s probably ‘niche’. We should just be grateful that WE get it and there are kindred spirits out there who understand.
The best songs to me are the sad/dark songs turned beautiful. The amount of people that were running around, screaming the words to 'pumped up kicks' was alarming but also funny for me
Antony is more than stars ,moon, sun,blue sky, rain,snow, cold,heat,more than the universe, his voice expresses pain,sorrow, happiness and so much more x👏👏👏💫
I'm sorry but this song is literally full of sexual innuendo. Like it might sound like it's about domestic abuse but i think it's at least partially about S&M
this seems like a tragically sad song for me. And yet it's such a familiar feeling... When you are in love with someone so blindly that you can't (or don't let yourself) realize that other person isn't. And then you are only "left to pick up the hints, the little symbols...", while having inner feeling that something is not right. For me this song is exactly about this feeling of inferiority and love blindness
I feel the only reason she cannot reply back to him, it's because she is not between us anymore. She died. Thus he is speaking to the sky. Already cried twice today on this...
Oui certainement ... découvert cette chanson que là , enfin l amour à sens unique je l'ai connu c'est violent intérieurement ...mais aucun regret c'est là que j' ai compris jamais j'aimerais quelqu un d'autre ... Mais y a eu d'autre forme d'amour .
It's 4:55am: I'm watching the End of an episode of the TV Police drama: "Saving Grace" w/Holly Hunter. They're playing THIS song. (Thankfully they don't show this part in the episode): a deranged wife-beater had brutally killed his wife & severely burned 57% of his little son's face & Body. And in the background: the music played. I felt compelled to find out MORE about this Haunting song. The Singer's trembling Voice, the Melancholic & Tragic Lyrics: 🎵"So, I'm left to pick up the Hints, the little symbols of your Devotion. I feel the Fists, the Whip: but, I know it's out of Love".🎵 I didn't know who this Singer was, or the Title of this Song: but I was HOOKED & reeled, like a Fish outta water. I didn't want to, but, I was mesmerized by the Lyrics. And I thought to myself: (What. the. Hell)? I don't want to like this Song, but It's Amazing. Here I Am. Typing this to you: a Person I don't even know, & probably Never will. It's dark out: G'night? G'morning? Whatever Time it is when you read this: Just to let you know: I hope this finds y'all Well & Blessed; &: Merry Christmas. (Sun8Dec'2024).
What a loss it would have been to the world if she had never been discovered. There is no one like her. Her music is just so her. Even the songs she covers end up being hers too. What a gift to the world and all who has the pleasure to hear her music.
Anohni is a man. Your excessive use of the words she and her is idiotic. Antony is unfortunately a far less talented man now than he was with Antony and the Johnson's. A tragedy.
@@mauricekiely6703 Anhoni is whatever the fuck she wants to be. Go out in the world and talk to people. Talk with humans who have felt off their entire lives. Whose instincts, tastes, maneurism have been represed and who find the courage to announce to the world that they decide to live how they feel inside. Don't judge people until you've walked a mile in their shoes. Unfortunately in this case it's not possible so compassion is what's left. Use a person's prefered pronouns, how hard is that.
@@mauricekiely6703 but you're not a musician. So your opinion is irrelevant and uninformed. Talented/creative people don't go around acting like you do. They have more interesting things to do than be politically incorrect. You're sad and boring. Go for a walk or bake something.
@@ChannelSettingsTvcode I am a musician, among other things, but that is as you say irrelevant. Antony Hegarty is a modern tragedy, a victim of ideologues who do not care how many people's lives they ruin. Go and get educated and refrain from commenting on posts from your superiors like me without my permission.
He is the in-between. In indigenous cultures there were people that had both the feminine and masculine energies. They were sacred beings that had responsibilities that only they could do. He's very special to us as human beings.
I first discovered Anohni by chance, singing a duet with Lou Reed on his profound song, "Candy Says." The song was written in 1969, when Lou was with the Velvet Underground. The lyrics are specifically about a transgender woman, so having Anohni sing the part brings a real life bearing to the song, almost like it was written for Anohni. The performance is absolutely transformational and packs an incredibly emotional wallop, not just for the performers themselves, but the whole audience. I only know of one transgender individual in my life (the son of my wife's boss, who went through surgery and now lives as a woman). Hearing the story about the process is harrowing, readily reflecting what Lou Reed expresses in his famous hit, "Take a walk on the wild side." I suspect any person, including Caitlyn Jenner, who has persevered through such a fate, must have some kind of grit. In any case, Anohni is a wonderfully gifted vocalist I hope to hear in person one day...
All of us who actually think are misfit should pay attention. His escape from the hard monotonous and standard reality is his sweet and staggering voice. It awakes strengh in you to overcome. Sweet kisses antony
Si algo que hice toda mi vida es buscar y escuchar buena musica....pero esto...esta forma...esta voz...esta combinacion de emociones...JAMAS!!. LO MAXIMO.
I just love this guy (girl). S/he's so honest and vulnerable in every song, every performance. When I hear the songs, I want to take care of hem... I want to take care of everybody.
she's a trans woman if that helps! even when talking about a time where a trans person isn't presenting as they're current gender you still use they're current pronouns. also this whole album speaks a lot about her transition and her internal struggle with it. I'm trans too and she captures the feeling of dysphoria very well
O mundo é tão duro e ruim na maioria do tempo para nós povão. Ao menos existe alguém assim.... canta de forma única. Unique. Like an angel. É um alento à vida que levamos......
The reason I love Antony so much is because sometimes I really feel as though the only person sadder than me is him and trully that is a comfort. He is an amazingly deep person and when listening to him I feel connected.
Your voice is so sad (it hurts near my heart) but at the same time it give's me a feeling of comfort and expressing at the same time- it give's me and everyone who's listening harmony .. I love the feeling you give me with your voice! Big hugs!.
This person deserve the respect of all like an authentic artist..he is for me one of the best compositor and singer from the decade..he spread a lot of emotion and purety through his song.. i love his songs..
I heard this for the first time tonight, on an old tv show, searched for it found it read the lyrics.listened to it and and read the lyrics again and thought about the lyrics.then searched for the story behind this song. I disagree with most interpretations. I feel its a love that is fierce. Felt by both. Fierce, deep and unbreakable. not violent. Either because one is no longer here or one cannot respond. And they both know. And the ache that is felt inside is well...... I like my interpretation much better. And this is what this means to me. It hurts so bad.
I could listen to this song over and over and over............................... Astonished by Anthonys great personality and the music. Love them. Just beautiful. The best.
I was lying in my bed last night staring At a ceiling full of stars When it suddenly hit me I just have to let you know how I feel We live together in a photograph of time I look into your eyes And the seas open up to me I tell you I love you And I always will And I know you can't tell me I know you can't tell me So I'm left to pick up The hints, the little symbols of your devotion So I'm left to pick up The hints, the little symbols of your devotion And I feel your fists And I know it's out of love And I feel the whip And I know it's out of love And I feel your burning eyes burning holes Straight through my heart It's out of love It's out of love I accept and I collect upon my body The memories of your devotion I accept and I collect upon by body The memories of your devotion And I feel your fists And I know it's out of love And I feel the whip And I know it's out of love And I feel your burning eyes burning holes Straight through my heart It's out of love, ooh hoo It's out of love Give me a little bit serious love Give me a little full love Be full of love Fists, fists, fists full of love...
I don't like so much "Anthony and the Johnsons"...but this song...ouuuuuh....it's simply beautiful. You understand me, Uh? Thanks. Grazie per i bellissimi momenti che mi hai regalato! Ciao Anthony, Antonio
everytime i hear this song it touches my soul, i imagine Antony wrote this from the deepest emotion in his heart! What a courage to share it with us...
This is one of my favourite songs - every time I hear it I get goose-bumps. It makes me think of my lovely mum who passed away 7 years ago. Thank you Antony for the music.

It is beautiful ❤
Would never speak to them ever again, clearly something wrong with them, They deserve each other! 😢
Its so frustrating isnt it. I adore this song but no one I ever play it to connects with it

There are no words to describe this amazing voice. This is a gift to mankind. Thank you Antoni. You are loved.
When you hear this song, you no longer have the fear to love.
Che emozione! Grazie! Dopo tutto quel piattume, sentire e vedere degli artisti, è bello!❤
Superbe cette chanson un diamant de la musique
No dancers, no sexual innuendos, no masks, no gimmicks. Just straight from the heart. This is music.
Well, all kind of music is music no matter what?🤔😊
so what if there was dancers, innuendo, masks, gimmicks? would it not be music then?
I'm sorry but this song is literally full of sexual innuendo. Like it might sound like it's about domestic abuse but i think it's at least partially about S&M
She is transgender.
Such a hot take.

One word….WOW.x.
As Leonard Cohen says:
"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."
And Antony certainly has the music :)
Im heavy metal guy , hard rock and thrash metal .
I LOVE LOVE YOU !!!!!!!

This is a song, that when i heard it, iknew would never forget it. This holds true after 15+ years. It is a song I doubt and hope I will never forget.
Love this song, love Antony and the Johnson, I am a bird now one of my favourite albums, never get bored of playing it XX❤

I'm entirely fascinated with this song! And with the younger violin player with the curly hair! Gorgeous song, great looking guy!
A wild cougar!
Also the guitar bass player !!!

Stumbled on this song on a tv show and I can’t stop listening to it now! Omg! It’s unbelievable
Je l’ai entendue sur France Inter il y a 3 semaines ; j’ai découvert Anthony lors de cette nuit là entre 3 et 4 heures du matin !
Que d’émotions en écoutant cette chanson… avec un tel interprète 👏♥️je l’adore 😘
So good to hear this again after a long time!
20대 중반에 알게되어 현재 30대 후반까지 최애곡입니다.그저 노래랑 보컬이 너무 좋습니다.단지 그거입니다.
Beautifully honest and brutal song. Incredible and indescribable captivating voice.
I saw them live in Rome... my God!! 🙌
O mundo é tão duro e ruim na maioria do tempo para nós povão. Ao menos existe alguém assim.... canta de forma única. Unique. Like an angel. É um alento à vida que levamos......

Tanto onore anche alla band
Grandissimi musicisti ❤

Antony moves me every single time I listen. He is truly something special in this world.

To feel music is such a gift and to share it is must be one of the greatest feelings.

I was lying in my bed last night staring
At a ceiling full of stars
When it suddenly hit me
I just have to let you know how I feel
We live together in a photograph of time
I look into your eyes
And the seas open up to me
I tell you I love you
And I always will
And I know you can't tell me
I know you can't tell me
So I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
So I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love
It's out of love
I accept and I collect upon my body
The memories of your devotion
I accept and I collect upon by body
The memories of your devotion
And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love, ooh hoo
It's out of love
Give me a little bit serious love
Give me a little full love
Be full of love
Fists, fists, fists full of love...
Yes
Makes me burst with emotion everytime! Wonderful, powerful Antony much love. XXXXXXX
the ending is amaziiiiiing
One of the few songs I've heard that is able to make me cry.
I just love him so much, I'd adopt him if I could. Antony, if something ever happens (God forbid), you can always call me, I'll do my best to help!
Magical!
este tio es maravilloso hacia mucho tiempo que no me emocionava tantisimo la musica adoro sus canciones es ESPECTACULAR
