    This is my favorite Anohni song. I saw her sing this song at Joe’s Pub in 2000. I saw her play there twice. Amazing shows. I met her briefly after one show and she was exceptionally sweet to me.

  • @ultraswitch
    @ultraswitch 13 ปีที่แล้ว +77

    I understand this song to be a metaphor, but once, a boy I loved with all my heart died in my arms. I saved him, but it took what seemed like forever for him to breathe, and the experience will be in my body forever. Being in love with a dead boy is like you can't imagine.
    And this song, while it may be about other things, the tone fits pretty well with the ongoing emotions and isolation of experience one feels after having their love die in front of their eyes, even if only for moments.

      not the same at all but last week i had a beautiful conversation with a beautiful man i immediately started crushing on, someone who didn't know me well but expressed all this sincere and genuine care, i was the last person he spoke to in person because it turns out he went home after and took his life, last thing he said was a casual love ya, it has just scooped me clean out even if i'm not experiencing what his family and friends are. i love ANOHNI and songs like this and Karma have been helping me put words around this grief. how can you fall in love with a ghost

    I find you
    With red tears in your eyes
    I ask you what is your name?
    You offer no reply
    Should I call a doctor?
    For I fear you might be dead
    But I just lay down beside you
    And held your head
    I fell in love with you
    Now you're my one and only
    All my life I've been so blue
    But in that moment you fulfilled me
    Now I tell all my friends
    I fell in love with a dead boy
    I tell my family
    I wish you could have met him
    I write letters to Australia
    I throw a bottle out to sea
    I whisper the secret in the ground
    No one's gonna take you away from me!
    I fell in love with a dead boy
    Oh such a beautiful boy
    I asked him are you a boy or a girl?

    I wrote a song with similar ideas almost 10 years ago. For years I thought it was the most creative thing I'd ever done and I was very satisfied. Then I heard Antony do it so much better. Damn him and praise him! haha.

    My beautiful one died 2 and a half years ago and I loved him
    Proud I loved him. Proud he was loved.
    So courageous. So strong.
    Sometimes restless....
    He had tricks to keep their harm away.
    He always knew what to do and which road to take to find me. Whether in the dark. Whether in the daylight. Blindfolded. Eyes wide opened. You could tell his fierce passion and desire for my eyes my legs my wrists my breasts. The hair ! All in mind before he even met me... Right like they are. The guy had such a sharp eye
    And so one day he came to me. He said, come on girl let's go now. Won't be a burden nor of any worry. I will love you as much as you loved me. I will never make noise. You will barely feel me or even hear me. Only if you burry me somewhere you know. Some where you also be.
    Keeping me out.
    Taking me in.
    Far.
    Near.
    Here
    No fear
    You are my one and only

    Anohni is a transgender woman and prefers to be referred to by the pronouns she/her. In an interview with Flavorwire in November 2014 she stated, "My closest friends and family use feminine pronouns for me. I have not mandated the press do one thing or another... In my personal life I prefer 'she'. I think words are important. To call a person by their chosen gender is to honor their spirit, their life and contribution. 'He' is an invisible pronoun for me, it negates me."
