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

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.

+Kelly Goulart Agreed! Just as "racial awareness" is dying out as an issue for people with wider experiences and/or better educations, gender awareness will slowly fade to a non-issue. (I realise this will likely take decades.) I'm not saying a person's sense of gender of self will vanish, only a sense of gender as it defines or limits OTHERS. I have faith that we will evolve into a community of humans who become less and less distracted by superficial differences in culture, skin color, and even gender.

When a well packaged Web of lies has been so gradually poured to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly pre postrace, and its speaker a raving lunatic. We live in the backwards world. Everything you were ever taught is a lie. Everyone on this plane existence grows up under Government. Govern = rule Ment= mental or mind. They have been ruling our mind since birth. The only thing we ever learn in life, is what we are taught by our parents, who were raised under Govern- ment. Then you go to a school, A govern- ment school. I mean you really have to, or your parents go to Jail. You have to be programmed. Next you watch public TV, In which they tell you it is programming, we will return to the programming after these messages. Then you grow up and go to A501 C3 church, a division of the federal government. And no matter what Denomination. They teach you to pray to JESUS. A fake made a name by the Catholic Church, That didn't even exist until the early 1800s. I mean the letter J wasn't invented until 1524. Scriptures clear acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby me must be saved. So by whose authority? Do they get to change the name above all names? And now we have those who know the name, who find out the name, and reject the name, and still use JESUS. When facts, absolute truths are spoken, and the receiving person cannot hear( the truth );they cannot hear his voice. His voice, is the voice of Truth. To deny Yahusha, and call him by a defiled name, when they know his correct name, is Rebellion.1st Samuel 15:23 for Rebellion is as the sin of Witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity, and idolatry, because thou Hast rejected the word of Yahuah, why he has also rejected the. Seek him with all your might, not what your told, or what is easily picked up. Not just the Traditions of men. Now let's touch on a few more lies about the world you live in. A church, is the last place, you want to go to, you will be indoctrinated into one of the Satanic cult's, Christianity being the biggest. There's only one preacher, or priest if you will. His Name is Yahusha Ha' Machiach. "Little children, let no man deceive you: He that does righteousness is righteous, even as he (Messiah) is righteous."1st John 3:7 He's the only one you go to, for everything. Scripture is clear, Beware the teachings of men. All wisdom comes from the Ruach Ha' Kodesh. Anything that comes from MEN is. James 3:15 This wisdom Descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, and devilish. Next Let's take the education system before you even get into school your taught things through subliminal messages. Cartoons are the worst. All controlled by CIA. But let's take school, your taught that you evolved from a monkey, and that you live on a roundball flying through space. School, Public television, and your parents taught you we live on a round ball, flying through space at 666 million miles an hour, while you're flying around the sun at 550,000 miles per hour, while your spinning at 1069 miles per hour, that's a lot of movements for you to not feel one thing. The Bible is a flat earth book. Their are over 400 places in the King James 66 book cannon bible, that states somehow that the Earth is stationary, and does not move. The Sun and moon were made on the fourth day, what did earth revolve around until then!! Come on! You don't believe Genesis!!! Scripture is the only truth, in this plane of existence. We do not believe our own eyes, and our own senses, or the holy scriptures, we believe what somebody tells us. Nobody can prove curvature, because there isn't any!! A simple Lighthouse proves there is no curvature, NASA says 66 feet of curvature at 10 miles, 6666 feet of curvature at a hundred miles, how can a 70 foot Lighthouse be seen for 30 or 40 miles, Google it. The stature Liberty is 300 ft tall and it can be seen for 60 to 70 miles at 60 miles it would be under over 2,000 feet of curvature. Water is always level, it doesn't bend. It can't be round guys, no matter how much you want it to be, because you've been taught that. It's a LIE, and if they can make you believe a lie that big, what else do you believe. Again we see rejection without investigation is the epitome of ignorance. But when we present Truth. We are ridiculed. So when you mention, The firmament, or the flat Earth, your instantly A nutcase, when in actuality, they have the disorder of Cognitive Dissonance. And most everyone suffers from cognitive dissonance. Please look it up. Now let's take the cross, he wasn't hung a cross, The cross is a 4000 year old death symbol, for the sun god Tammuz. He was hung on an almond tree ,on the mount of olives. A sacrifice, is not a sacrifice, unless it's done on an altar, a Roman cross is not a alter. How about the Rapture, You cannot read scripture, and believe there's a rapture, one verse kills the whole thing. 2nd Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be destroyed with intense heat, and the Earth, and its works there in Shall be burned up. I mean on his 2nd return, the heavens and the Earth are destroyed, where do all the Left Behind people live? Again the wheat and the tares grow together, until the end, read scripture for yourself. The rapture doctrine was invented in 1831 by a man named John Nelson Darby, look it up. The enemy doesn't want you prepared for what's coming. I could go on for days, because everything in this existence is upside down, And backwards. Stop and return to your childhood, and reprogram yourself, with your own knowledge. Remember! The Earth is not for the pleasure of men, but it is a place of instruction for his soul, a man more readily feels the strings of his spirit in the face of disaster, then in the lap of luxury. The tuition of the soul is a long, and arduous course of instruction, and in training, humility is the key to unlocking the door to the kingdom. Obedience unto death allows you to enter in. Also, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear YAH and keep his Commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13. Father paid for everything, so none would have to suffer if, they only truly believed his word of Truth. But just as we have witnessed ourselves, it was suffering that open our eyes, we all have our Breaking Point, and will eventually see the truth, the longer they deny the truth, only exposes them to discomforts, they hold by stepping on others toes. If a man has nothing to die for, then what does he love, a man is his word, and we either represent his image by walking what we talk, and being true and just, that he controls everything around you, He only needs witnesses to his word of Truth. Everything has already been said none of us can do any better than HE did. No matter how many times anyone misrepresents, if the father did not call them by name, they are not one of his. There are so many demons hiding behind the Flesh, and calling themselves Godly. I only Say what I know to be the Truth. By witnessing to it myself. What I've seen and Experienced. Mankind has been seeking shortcuts since the beginning , but only by death to self, can anyone come to the truth. As Above, So Below, the mind in the heart must become one with the truth, and only fire can refine. This is why only those who love the truth more than anything, can stand in this fire, No matter how hot it gets. This is exactly how we show his love, by sharing knowledge we have witnessed. Not the teachings of men. I know from experience, that this letter will get rejected by 95 to 98% of the people who read it, if they even take time to read it. But if anything in this strikes you, and you have a question kdwarner5@gmail.com Kevin

''The open hearted many, the broken hearted few'' Modern interpretation of Cohen's beautiful classic. Haunting strings. Almost as emotionally raw as his cover of 'If it be your will'. Rich voice, rich lyrics. I also wish he'd do an entire cover album of Cohen and Dylan (see Knocking on Heavens Door). Brings the words of these 'poet/lyricist minstrels' to a whole new audience.
