New music today from Antony and the Johnsons. Like Patti Smith, while I really love Antony in theory, he's not always easy to listen to. I like this track quite a bit though, and a title like that requires a listen! Also, I'm taken with the lyrics:
Epilepsy is dancing
Shes the Christ now departing
And Im finding my rhythm
As I twist in the snow
All the metal burned in me
Down the brain of my river
That fire was searching
For a waterway home
I cry glitter is love!
My eyes pinned inside
With green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein
As I came to a screaming
Hold me while Im dreaming
For my fingers are curling
And I cannot breathe
Then I cried in the kitchen
How Id seen your ghost witching
As a soldering blue line
Between my eyes
I cry glitter is love!
My eyes
Pinned inside
Sea green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein
Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Oh now its passing
Oh now Im dancing
Epilepsy is Dancing

I agree, the lyrics are great. I like Antony, he just goes a bit overboard with the vibrato from time to time.
