Antony & The Johnsons

"I am a bird now" talvez seja o album mais sensível do ano. Antony talvez seja a voz do ano, inconfudível, lembra um Belchior mais intimista. Neste link http://www.theworldofadam.com/hope.html é possível ver a animação de Adam Shecter para "Hope" a faixa meiga que abre o cd. Muita melancolia!!!! Além da voz da beee, q tem como grande padrinho Lou Reed, outro destaque são as letras. Dá até pra fazer uma tese comparando as letras da bee com as dos grandes poetas românticos ingleses!

For Today I Am A Boy

One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful woman
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful girl
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful woman
One day I’ll grow up, I’ll be a beautiful girl

But for today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy

One day I’ll grow up, I’ll feel the power in me
One day I’ll grow up, of this I’m sure
One day I’ll grow up, I know a womb within me
One day I’ll grow up, feel it full and pure

But for today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy
For today I am a child, for today I am a boy


What can I do

What can I do
When the bird's got to die
What can I do
When she's too weak to fly
What can I do
When she's calling my name
She's crying
Mama, Help me to live
What can I do


Hitler in my Heart

As I search for a piece of kindness
And I find Hitler in my heart

And he is whispering
"As sure as love will spring
From the Well of Blood in Vain, oh Jew!
The Well of Blood in Vain!"
La la la la la la

And I fell into a deeper precipice
With mouths of rapists
Jaws dropped down
Jaws dropped down
Jaws dropped

Don't punish me
for wanting your love inside of me
Don't punish me
For wanting your love inside of me

And I find Hitler in my heart
From the corpses flowers grow
And I find Hitler in my heart
From the corpses flowers grow
