I watched this during lockdown on jools and my jaw hit the floor. I listen to this song almost daily now and it touches me deeply every single time. So glad I discovered it! Beautiful!!!!

I love this song, her voice always gives me chills, the whole album is amazing!

Glad you discovered Antony & The Johnsons. Huge cult following. Great review!

[@mallaka8]

Best band ever. I adore this group and Anohni is a beautiful artist in her own right. 'Rapture' is one of my fav songs of all time. As is 'I fell in love with a dead boy, cripple and the starfish and The Lake'.

I've known this song for years. It's one of the few that still gives me goosebumps. You get it bro.

[@ryanshaw2223]

Antony & The Johnsons is a great band fronted by Antony Hegarty who now goes by her name, Anohi. Her voice is like a cherub on this earth. Their cover of Knockin' on Heaven's Door was used on the season finale of Son's of Anarchy.

[@konichan8645]

This band is so under rated check out more songs of them even if you are not reacting to them for a video(though I'll appreciate) because it will be a stroke to your soul.

[@alanparker6080]

Amazing artist She is Amazing! Sends shivers Everytime I hear Her sing ❤❤

[@GB434]

A collaboration between Antony and Adele would be fantastic!

[@eyeshowyou]

No...Anthony is great..Adele is ok...but absolutely not on this level

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

Antony, nowadays she calls herself Anohni is very unique and her voice is also. Years ago I saw a documentary on a Dutch TV channel and I was hooked... she is a fascinating person, with thoughts soooo deep... so emotional. Of course that is no mainstream music... thanks, that you reacted to this piece and I am very curious about the opinions about her music... and i hope Adam will react to her anytime soon also... even if her music is not your style, I think you should have heard at least one song of her... my favorite is THE RAPTURE, by the way, but I haven chosen this one, cause I thought it is more characteristics... thank you

[@danielpaaij]

Which documentary? Would love to see it.

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

@@danielpaaij thats years ago... I could not find it again...

[@lucasonhisown]

@@RommerskirchenFrank I think the documentary you're talking about is "The Eternal Children". It's a Dutch documentary focused on Anohni (Antony back then), CocoRosie, Devendra Banhart and Vashti Bunyan, right?

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

@@lucasonhisown can't say... I need to check

[@lucasonhisown]

@@RommerskirchenFrank It probably is. It used to be available here on KZbin, but it's not anymore, unfortunately. Let us know when you check it out.

[@rob3669]

the cello during the intense bit with her voice is always giving be goosebumps

[@allanmanzanares3119]

Anohni and Anthony & the Johnsons are part of the soundtrack of my life. Thanks for doing this review.

[@rayname908]

I saw Antony & the Johnsons about 10 times when I lived in NYC. I gave everyone I liked CDs of the 1st album. Just amazing. Frankenstein & 'I fell in love with a dead boy' on a loop. I knew they would be huge. We need more Anohni

[@pimphandstrong]

my two favorite songs from antony! add "fistful of love" to anohni's holy trinity! 🤣

[@jehouse61]

I would give anything to have seen this band!

[@ryancormack6117]

Dude, I was just like you when I heard this for the first time

[@eyeshowyou]

Me too

[@dganit8807]

I wonder if you know Tori Amos. She was one of my favorite female singer-songwriter of the 90s. Only recently have I discovered that she'd continued making music, and her last album came out in 2017. Her father was a priest, so she was brought up in a religious family and playing the piano helped her let her emotions out. That's why she used to sing so passionately. She's also a great piano player. If you want to check her out, you may like to choose either of these two songs:1) "Winter"- which is more emotional, dedicated to her father and showcases her beautiful voice. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYjQdoeujLJjnpI 2) "Precious Things"- which is more "aggressive", because she sings about people who's hurt her feelings in the past. I've heard KZbinrs say that many people who like metal music also like Tory Amos. This song makes you understand why. I can imagine it as a metal song, as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGSneK2qntxmd6s

[@Buckley596]

Stumbling on this Jools Holland is one of those wow moments for anyone lucky enough.

[@whitneymoore6982]

I heard this song about 15 years ago in a movie trailer about an Asian teenage girl coming either to the united states or Canada. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the movie but it introduced me to their music and have been in love since.

[@AlphaDaddy82]

That's not a voice but a fucking instrument. Incredible!

[@MYRIAMLATEUR]

Whauuuuw… magical voice , heavenly lyrics. Yeah, holy smoke!

[@tgbishop83]

the voice just hits

[@MrTombre]

a heavy song to start with, but they have many more hauntingly beautiful songs to explore =)

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

True... i have chosen it, cause i thought it shows her uniqueness the best for somebody, who has never heard her... my favorite song is RAPTURE kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV6op3Wid5WZaKs

[@MrTombre]

@@RommerskirchenFrank yeah rapture is up there, man is the baby, their cover of knocking on heavens door, the lake, bird girl and more

[@johnflynn5044]

Anthony is a gem..I first saw him in a violent prison movie called Animal Factory and was mesmerised @ Immediately looked him up and have loved him ever since.. I won a small fortune from a bet when he was awarded the Mercury Music Award His interoperation of Leonard Cohens If It Be Your Will is something else.. One of the great vocalists of today.. Hes Australian no ? He did a duet with Boy George on a track called You Are My Sister.. Its a banger ! You are more right than you know with your transitioning observation. The album is called Fr Today I Am A Boy and is an homage to transitioning

[@jkdw]

Anohni’s pronouns are she / her

[@SuperMilesy]

Fistful of love live

[@helenj.c.g3348]

I love the reaction you had hearing that song

[@ErmIDK19]

Listen to antonys version of if it be your will . It will blow your socks clean off. In my humble opinion its better than this

[@TheDarkhounds]

When I first heard this it was on the Ricky Gervais xfm radio show with Steve merchant and Karl pilkington, I honestly thought the singer was black at first dunno why

[@carefreemc1445]

They were initially signed to an American Record label and saw there first success in America! Every year in the uk we have a prize called the Mercury music prize for best british album and that is where i first heard this band! I simply adore this album! I spent my music career in a Trip Hop band and as a rave DJ & MC but love all music! Especially this amazing band! I believe Anthony has since transitioned and no longer goes by Anthony!

You could place this right next bohemian rhapsody. I felt remnants of Queen. Yet this song stands alone in its own right.

[@margaretdraper4099]

Wow

[@erikweiss9453]

If you liked Anohni, you should check out Klaus Nomi, and in particular the track Cold Song. Klaus was doing in the 80s the mixture of pop and opera that far inferior artists like Ill Divo and Josh Groban only dream about doing.

[@eyeshowyou]

Great taste you have

How about Liliac a family band 2 sisters and 3 brothers 12 to 21. React to their original song Mars done live at Cummins Ga

[@igorlucena11]

I’m a big fan of her, but, honestly, this is not one of my favorite songs. I don’t know why so much hype behind this song. From this album, I would suggest, in this order: fistful of love, You are my sister, bird gehl, man is the baby. Cheers.

[@dganit8807]

Although I like the timbre of the singer's voice, there is too much vibrato which sounds unnatural. I remember Adam Straughan saying he doesn't like exaggerated vibrato, so I wonder whether he's gonna remark on it. But that's a spoiler, so don't tell him about it...

Anthony is a great male vocalist . The idea 'he' now identifies as a woman is great for him ,but most of us accepted him as the man he is. Congratulations on his voice not his misoygny.
