I’m an old guy of 67 who just wants folk to be happy in the way they want to be. Your music is bloody amazing. Keep doing this wonderful sounds and keep being who you want to be.
wow u guys are really old. I always fear old age, particularly I am terrified of the idea of being old & having regrets or being old and poor. Do you guys have any advice on thay
don't be afraid of "old age"' ..live a full life and be true to yourself and if you reach my age (80) you will smile and play the music that has the ability to move you deeply and give you hope. Anohni always has done this for me, from the very beginning Grateful for Anohni's beauty shared
Hi Anohni I work in a record store, and in this period we are fighting an already lost war with Amazon and all digital music stores, mine is a passion and seeing the expression of joy in my customers' eyes when they buy from the shelf, is a great joy for me too. At the moment it doesn't matter which way you use to stay in touch with us, but please, PLEASE, we need your voice and your music, for you are pure as the eternal snows. I miss you Massimiliano
Dearest Anohni I have been familiarising myself with you and your art and your incredible and unique voice .Thank you .You are a very special human being and you care for all the right things ...:you are.a truly rare species . X
If I’m honest, most of my vinyl record collection is from Amazon cuz it’s easier to get international shipping and access to their products. I still want to get this 7” from a record store and not amazon
Massimiliano, sono fortunati i tuoi 'clienti'. I suggerimenti dell'appassionato di musica, la chiaccherata, lo scambio emozionale non verranno mai soppiantati da una piattaforma. Lo chiedo a te-voi, PER FAVORE, resistete. un grande in bocca al lupo.
This is by far the best version of the song I have ever heard! Anohni, your voice is haunting and thrilling. It gives me the chills every time I listen to something you´ve created. Your presence is just mesmerising.
Anohni, ma'am, I don't know what I love more: The song or the statement. You're a true Queen, of musical and moral integrity. Wonderful to start my day with such a powerful piece.
SIR, he's a male. his dna is XY. I get it that some people feel they're born with ambiguous sex/gender but we should not be referring to them as male or female when it's not the TRUTH.
For those of you who may not know, prior to performing and recording as Anohni, she was known as Antoni and the Johnsons. There are many wonderful videos on TH-cam still under that name, among them a version of Leonard Cohen's If it Be Your Will, that is extraordinary.
Ah Anohni! How we've all grown & changed. It's staggering, really. I was hoping to hear more of your heART during this horrid time & here you ARE. I will never forget our weekend trip to a supper club in Hudson Valley. You and the Johnson's. Bruce L. and I. Early 2000s. I knew it then, you were becoming. And now here we are, I am dying with this earth. Less than 6 months to be alive. Please, keep being authentically you. No bullshit. You're so above it. The trans community thanks you. The ANTI neo-liberal & neo-con movements thank you. I thank you and love you. For you became a star in my sky! In Light, Maria from Napa.
What is so great about this masterpiece of a cover is Anohni's interpretation. She sounds deploring when she sings "it took all the strength I had not to fall apart", but then she sings with all her resolve "baby I'm saving all my love for someone who's loving me".
Thank you for remembering and acknowledging the struggles of lgbt people in the middle east / isl*mic countries As an lgbt living in Iraq I felt seen and I appreciate it deeply ♥️
I hope you're safe. Please don't hesitate to apply for asylum if you want to, you'd be more than welcome here in France and especially in our LGBT community.
I listen to this on repeat, trying to imitate this angelic voice. It's such a beautiful interpretation of the lyric. I feel like my soul is open and completely bare, but without feeling vulnerable in a fragile way. ANOHNI has the power to encapsulate striking emotions in minimal, sharp, impeccable tones. The way she touches is so unique. I love you; you changed my entire vision of worship.
I lived in your old apt. on 15th st. for six years. many thoughts, many stories. I think a lot about the apt. I used to listen to your albums there and wonder If you knew what was waiting for you behind the "door". and what was waiting for me. was something waiting for me?
Dear Anohni, I have been to both of your concerts in Athens, Greece. Your aura is moving, I felt a piece of my heart connected with yours. Thank you for existing. You make my soul a bit less tromendously lonely
I remember reading somewhere that when Dionne Warwick first heard Isaac Hayes-"Walk On By" (1969 Enterprise/Stax/Fantasy/Concord Records), she reportedly called the song's composer of her original 1964 hit (Scepter/Springboard/Gusto Records), Burt Bacharach and told him Isaac's version was the way the song was supposed to be recorded; now, I find myself saying the same thing to my lovely Miss Gloria Gaynor about Anohni-"I Will Survive": Gloria, darling, thanks to you, Anohni has elevated your song to TOTAL PERFECTION---God Bless You Both, Andromeda International Records
Anohni ________ just found you last night. I'm sure you've been there yourself where you stumble across an artist and you find that this music from this beautiful human being has been out for a few years and you kick yourself saying. Nooooo!!!! I needed these songs few years back , I need them today but why god LOL why did thousand find Anohni before me. I'm sure even Anohni relates to that kick in the ankle when you find someone special. You are gorgeous and your music I mean where do I even begin to compliment your voice and style.... I found Later with Jools Holland and I sat there 3 times I played it and was like this lovely woman has superstardomness pouring out her veins. I hope nothing but the absolute world for you. I love you so much and just found you 15-20 hours ago. Be blessed .. Jim.
Anyone who's ever heard of your voice, both singing and otherwise, knows it is absolutely irreplaceable. It's nauseating that they even tried. Thank you for this.
Beautiful. This reminds me of Coil’s version of ‘Tainted Love’ which was explicitly and unapologetically about AIDS (in the twilight of the Reagan/Thatcher nightmare).
Best concert of my life was in Sydney Opera House 2010, when i closed my eyes I could see your voice flying, playing, dancing around the melody of the orchestra. Thanks for this message, this is needed. Love you, you're the best
I love you, Anohni. For you art, your voice, your ingenious music. And I genuinely respect you for stepping up for those who struggle everyday. Knowing that there are people like you gives me strength to carry on and I cannot be grateful enough for that.
For the first time I heard you years ago singing Hope there's someone you touched my heart like not other artist had done ever before and you manage to do it every single time you release new music. It's the same feeling all over again. I love you, ANOHNI. You're so loved.
We can survive some of it, and yes keep creating without so much intervention with the social media apps and connect with real people in real ways, and we should all go outside more ... connect with the great outdoors. It is the 4th industrial revolution running away with us, only be a small part of that, remain real in the real world, it's a choice. Certainly constant scrolling on FB affects our emotional intelligence our emotional stability, fragmenting, and scrolling affects our frontal lobe, limit the use of your involvement with FB,Instagram, etc etc ... be disciplined ... find time for the real world, real people, real true artistic endeavour and real artists such as you are ... look after yourself, your words are so important ANOHNI.
NAMASTE ! EVERYTHING YOU RESONATE & EMODE and Call to Awareness is beyond heralding and prolific Much Love & Light Your journey has been Amazing to follow all the way from NY and Hercules to now Blessed 2021 ANOHNI 🙏🙌💜💖
YOU ARE TRUE HERO, YOU ARE TRUE ARTIST, YOUR WORDS ARE PAINFULLY FANTASTICALLY TRUER . THANK YOU MAESTRO ❤️🙏🏽 So many people are with you and the light is coming soon 🌞
This is the first time I have seen a musician has stated more than just placing a video link on youtube. To be honest, this took me by surprise, cause like many people I am here to enjoy music, yours in this case and now I am left with more than just a song to listen to. Thank you for taking a stand and dropping the song and the story behind it, very poignant right now and much needed.
The love and respect I have for that pure soul Anohni is! 💎 This is so deep, so selfless and good-hearted ✨ #grateful for your existence and your artistry. I adore you! 💖 Sending lots of love 💚 from 🇫🇷
Your comment resonated with what I had to share. I was hoping to hear new music before 2020 ended. Here we are with new (old) music that helps us to transcend the horrors while we also face them head ON! Be well, Maria
We need more of this kind of fearless leadership in the world. I am sick of life being distilled to the viscous, nauseating, tar that is capitalism and neo-liberalism. There is more to life than profits and efficiency. There is art, there is nature, there is touch, there is breath, there is Anhoni. We need to support such beauty, despite everything that is telling us to let it wither and die. I just bought Anhoni's latest album. It's not 200, 000$. But it's something. If you have been touched by this video and message I encourage you to do the same xx Thank you once more, Anhoni xx
Thank you. I’ve always wished more people know of you and listen to your songs or in the mainstream but at the same time we are lucky. Our secret treasures.
Your music is life giving, the messages are profound and powerful. From someone who is moving through darkness and struggling to hold on, listening to your songs tonight has given me the space to truly feel, to cry, ad to be honest with myself. Thank you Anohni, you angel.
Dear Anohni, thank you for reminding us all of humanity in times where corporations perceive creative force solely as digits on their accounts. Dziękuję z całego serca!
Thank you for sharing this! Social media has become such a power player and it makes me sick to the stomach to read your experience. Thank you for the music, for being who you are. I love you.
Please come out with more music! I love your work so much and am so happy to be able to follow you and your beautiful lyricism ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for all your contributions to the planet 🙏
Dear Anohni, I can live without Instagram, without Facebook, without Google, without Twitter... BUT I can't live without YOU! Thank you so much!
Ditto, I am ready to leave them all too. Amazing song so proud of you.

this is the weirdest way to tell someone you love them

yeeeees! we can't live without art!
I’m an old guy of 67 who just wants folk to be happy in the way they want to be. Your music is bloody amazing. Keep doing this wonderful sounds and keep being who you want to be.
I echo those sentiments. I,m 64 living life as much as possible. Anohni inspires
wow u guys are really old. I always fear old age, particularly I am terrified of the idea of being old & having regrets or being old and poor. Do you guys have any advice on thay
@@Nylon-xj9ml just get on with life, enjoy and be in the moment. Age is just a number.

The most beautiful voice I honestly have ever heard, been captivated for years
Sing it, Sister Heart! You own this one now!!!!!!!!!!
Wow - her voice is out of this world, so beautiful. what a gift
Grande! Sei una GRANDE, ANOHNI! Ho 67 anni e la tua voce mi commuove tantissimo! Sei fantastica!
Unbelievable, every time i listen i sink deeper
One of the most captivating voices I have ever been blessed with the great pleasure of hearing

You are such an immense talent! How beautiful. Manta Ray. Cohen in memoriam concert.
You make the difference. For me.
I'm a better person with your music! Bless you always X
What a voice. Passionate, beautiful and inspirational.
Anohni, what can I say? I can say nothing. I can cry. I can love you. And nothing else. And one more thing. I'm from Poland. So thank you.
A powerful and timely conversation to have started - and so eloquently. Much love. xx
Anyone who's ever heard of your voice, both singing and otherwise, knows it is absolutely irreplaceable. It's nauseating that they even tried. Thank you for this.
... My heart melts into a rainbow of feelings and emoticons when I listen ti your voice. Thank you for what you give to others with your art.
Very rare people like you help me not to despair of humanity. ❤
Your soul swells, mine contracts. We ebb and flow together. Thank you for reminding me that we are all a part of the same breath.
Wow Best version of this classic , haunting ❤
Breathtaking voice.
Thats so power!!! We trans enby love you Anohni!
I am with you, wherever you are going I will follow your art.
Beautiful. This reminds me of Coil’s version of ‘Tainted Love’ which was explicitly and unapologetically about AIDS (in the twilight of the Reagan/Thatcher nightmare).
Actually tainted love is much older than marc almond ,pretty sure its originally an old motown song,
Do not stop reminding us of love and humanity, which the world desperately needs. Thank you for your Love ♥️
