Antony & The Johnsons singing Leonard Cohen's song The Guests live BBC4 2006

Anthony is a perfect vessel for Cohen's melancholy lyrics and tunes.

[@mmmpoetry]

This is one of the most beautiful performances of any song I have ever heard

[@3121babe]

Antony and Leonard Cohen were made for each other. Poignant, expressive, heartfelt and real. Antony takes Cohen's poetry and imbues it with life. Really wonderful.

[@robbiepeterh]

She has unbelievable vocal control.

[@kellygoulart3508]

Anohni delivers an amazing and powerful performance! As far as talent goes she is second to no one. For those that criticize her appearance or chosen sexual identity - GET OVER IT! Her delivery is full of such raw emotion, compassion, and pain. Her soul must be that of a most gentle person. I bid her great peace and happiness.

haha same here...was trying to find summit to fall asleep but instead i turned this on part way through and it was the sort of thing that makes you just sit and listen...good stuff

[@renehans6870]

How proud and happy Leonard Cohen must have been experiencing this wonderful performance

[@SomethingReal1119]

Everytime I listen to Antony I seem to cry buckets. Do you think he even realizes the intense effect his music has on his fans?

[@Maliaariadne]

I believe I am in love with Antony's voice.... I could listen to it sing forever.

[@carlo88moe]

what keeps reiterating in my head, everytime i look at antony is "never judge a book by it's cover, never judge a book... etc." jesus, what comes out of antony transcends anything known as beauty, its something more he's...god, well something more than fantastic

[@paramidge8935]

This is one extraordinary vocal performer - truly amongst the best at any time - a true artist. Cohens songs find their perfect setting - there is footage of 'If it be your will' out there and it is simply a perfect rendition of a profound and necessary song.

I love you, Antony. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

[@daveandmaureenrobertson4243]

Antony so special beyond words, so thankful that I am a huge Leonard Cohen fan as that is how I discovered you, the emotion, heart and musicality that you bring is just so damn beautiful, thank you and bless you !

[@glencarpenter6661]

So calming it gives you hope to know there are people of this purity amongst us

[@SFGAsue]

Leonard's music and Antony's voice - there's nothing better.

[@user-yr4pi1rh1g]

My heart is shattered and filled with joy at the same time. What a gift Antony. Thank you xoxo

[@Bradaighbunch]

"and one by one they enter there, in every style of passion."

[@rbramhall]

Wow!!! This is the second song I've heard of Antony. I heard him sing with bjork a while ago and figured it was just a backup singer. then when I recognized his voice on the radio, I had to look him up. Great artist, beautiful and haunting voice, amazing music. Pure brilliance!!! I must hear more!!!!

[@crowkangi]

Compared to his voice, even the violin seems bulky and cumbersome. He's a sacred being, a blessing to us all.

[@sere7000]

Her voice shatters my soul , laying in bed with my amour and letting her carry me away . Thank you ❤️
