My first time i hearing Anthony sing. Beautifull. Ouma s.a.

Well said! But Kudos?

Yes! It's beautiful, many thanks!

Qll

so beautiful

Sure !

I would argue that his cover of Knockin' on Heaven's door falls in the same category…

I don't think so

It's a draw.

Looking for the KHD cover....

Nicely put

you are so right ... she is amazing, breathtaking 😯 and she touches me so deep within ... as usually only leonard can ... but in a very different way ...

Mic drop.

@@MxSaxman Why you under a trans artist's video getting worked up about this? No one's talking to you, yet you get offended about what other people say. Walk off snowflake.

Amazing.best version ever

Best version ever

I listen to this always,,fills me with emotion, tears of joy and sadness so beautiful

It moves me to tears every time I hear it.

yup, me too - Anhoni will do that to you - when i heard this version i was playing music with an Irish tenor - i sing more like Cohen - so i spoke to tim and he did the high harmonies - and did it - 'like this' - - - this song made sense to me , sung this way.

I prefer to call them an interpretation

Well said!❤

Antonyis very much not broken., simply on a courageous journey that Leonard Cohen understood as "the light".

I am so in love with someone who sings from the soul! I just discovered him, he touches me deeply emotionally 🙏🏼

Thank you this made me weep

Love your comment..you've lived and have wisdom and understanding ❤

I just loved his voice, very moving,

yes definitely

Most Beautiful Voice of ALL TIME

says every comment under every music video

I pity you.......

John Korsmo I didn't have the exact same thought that you did, because I heard his (at the time she was known as Antony and used male pronouns) voice before I saw any pictures, but when I finally did see pictures I thought someone was playing around with me. How sadly was I mistaken. I have been just in love ever since. I would love to see her live. That has to be an amazing show.

John Korsmo I saw this clip in a trailer for the movie and having this stuck in my head was why i ordered it on Amazon and became an LC fan, but I've noticed, as I've shared this version, that if I ask people to listen, but not watch, they usually dig it, but if they watch then they tend to have a hard time with it ... I started doing this after the first time i watched it with a girlfriend and she didn't like it at all, and i thought it had to be the visuals, because it's an amazing rendition ... we eventually broke up, but that's because she turned into a raging alcoholic

I was the opposite, I was mesmerized by her movements, facial expressions and pure emotion. This is a stunning cover. :)

I don't think anyone can hear and watch antony and not be impressed!

un bellissimo commento, che condivido

I'm here today..26 March❤

I'm also here 29th March 2023 Wednesday

What the fuck do you mean? Don't understand your question.

Many times.

It still puts me in tears by the end, every time.

It's only started and lm crying.

Definitely

Well said. expanding our souls. We need to do that sometimes. Some of us.

It's not my jam, lol sorry guys. It's nice tho

me too

Amazing,just beautiful

Yes, for me, its overpowering beauty has to be taken in reverence. It is almost too moving, the beseechment of God in the depths of our despair. I can’t dwell in this mode indefinitely.

Karen GP do we retrofit transgender? I'm confused about the rules

Wonderfully put Karen

@@plumlogan put it this way. Its not retrofitting. Its correcting the error in the record.

i'm reminded of another Cohen song, Lover Lover Lover "And may the spirit of this song / May it rise up pure and free / May it be a shield for you / A shield against the enemy"

What utterly beautiful words, Karen. My love to you, and strength xxx

have you seen Antony's rendition of Crazy in Love by Beyoncé? Look it up: 'live in Carré', around 29 minutes it starts.

ii

Absolutely and it gave me sustained shivers up my spine - my central nervous system recognised something special here without my consciously willing it. Something loving, not danger. xxx

This is one of the most unique and beautiful voices I've ever heard. Love Antony/ANOHNI

Amazing

I’m really happy to see that there are many other guys that like myself have a genuine appreciation for the uniqueness of voice and the capacity to transport you through their interpretation and like very few musicians have you fall in love with their lyrics and melodies!!

"The Fragrance of Compassion I stand on the street, my heart sorrowful The great disaster is looming overhead at the end times Where are people heading in the hustle and bustle The life-saving Dafa [Great Law] has opened Heaven’s gate wide I pass out this flyer of truth Helping people at the command of the Creator Most people are Gods incarnate, becoming humans Doctrines of atheism and evolution are a deluding potion Modern notions and conduct bring harm to oneself This truth can save people, keeping them safe and healthy He is compassion and fragrance emanating amid chaos September 27, 2020 * Fa Is in the Human World I sing aloud a song to express my heart Most people come from heavens above Reincarnating time and again, so many lifetimes Buried in the dust so as to obtain the Fa The Holy Creator has entered the world of dust Quietly observing all kinds in the chaotic world Atheism and evolution are evil doctrines The red demon ruins the world viciously like a cancer Modern notions are a form of corruption He holds back the violent wave, eliminating the fog of evil Rectifying the human world with grand compassion and grace Heaven and Earth regain brilliance like the fabled Isle of Penglai November 8, 2020 * Compassion Once Again Surviving the catastrophe, the mind not yet calmed down All the fights and disputes suddenly come to a stop Having spoken the truth tirelessly with kind words How many have changed their minds and embraced kindness Spring returns to the land, Heaven and Earth turn bright Kings shall return, to be greeted by all beings The Fa rectifies the human world, showing compassion once again Then we’ll see if good and evil are clear or not September 17, 2020" Master Li Hongzhi (Hong Yin VI, from Falun Dafa teachings)

yes

I keep coming back to it in my time of need, year after year, since first experiencing it on the big screen back in 2005-6?

He. You can never change your gender.

There’s no need to change a thing! We are Light!

@@debbie81554 LOL! Is that the story you’re sticking to? 😂 thanks! Best laugh in years!

@@JeffreyGoddin me too Jeff! It still gives me chills!

What a beautiful story. I believe he kept your little girl’s letter forever. What an extraordinary man. You all are so blessed to have seen him and share his magic with your girl.

man i swear it's my only music and i live for music

That changed my life I realised that most people were as crazy as me

every crack costs millions

That's how the light gets in 😍 I hold on to that

Its not a guy its a woman. A trans woman

@@catarinacouto2501 Antony is male, born a boy. Antony Hegarty. Now known as her "Spirit name" Anonhi. Very beautiful isn't it? 😊 She says her sexuality was never emphatically "I want to be a girl" but much more subtle, and that growing up "he"was too afraid to ask to be known as "she." She has not had gender reassignment surgery or anything, and never will. Anonhi just identifies more as female and is much happier now. I love her dearly and that voice! Sublime 💖. Also stunningly intelligent. If you read the interview she gave with The Guardian in London, you will understand. (I'm sure you already know all of this Catarina, it's just for the benefit of folk who wish to know more about her 😉). It's rather confusing as in this heart rendering performance for Leonard, she is still known as Antony 🤔😀!!! I think Leonard would love this fine rendition of his song, yes? Kudos to you for bringing it up. Peace and Light 🌟 Rest well Leonard. You are sorely missed. Up there in Heaven singing with the most sensational band ever... x

Sublime.

@@catarinacouto2501 No such thing. You cannot change genders. Your spit shows if you are male or female. Every cell in your body know the gender. Even the male skeleton is different from the female.

My thoughts exactly

Bill Takats Couldn't have put it better !

How true .....

The words of a genius who is Leonard Cohen.

well said x

Has it been 3 years all ready

I have always loved the great LC, but nobody sings this like Anthony.

Love this comment.

Sylva Vix c'est magnifique :-)

Massimo Selva Mirizzi a

His name was Leonard not Leo

Thanks!

Thanks for including the lyrics….

Thanks

Thank you ❤️🌹❤️

It's pretty good

Peace.

SHE has the voice of an angel.

moogie1954 HE. Antony was male when he performed this masterpiece cover. You wouldn’t call the man that won the Olympic gold Katelynn because he was Bruce. Same thing.

@@sabinacle1529 yes you would. It is respectful to call trans people by their actual gender, even in a past tense. For convinience, you can say "before she came out" and the such. Thank you.

Chloe Pechlaner shut up ChLoE

(She)

That really depends on how simpleminded and incapable of mental movement you are.

It's not covid time. Share the toilet paper.

+Farren Minns Me not.

Weird, huh? Me too Mark.

Did you try the Webb Sisters already ? Not too bad either

yep, trent reznor said it was Cash's song now

Or Jeff Buckley with hallelujah

And Leonard Cohen stated his approval unequivocally for their rendition before he died

same here...Fancy a drink sometime > x :)

beautiful , so clever.

I actually prefer this to Leonard's version. First time that's ever happened!

I am still spellbound every time I see this.

Great choice of words,,, very very emotional for me ,,,and I'm not sure why

nicely put

I don't think it's a case of being awkward, I think it's being lost in the music and the feelings. Perhaps at times he catches himself and feels a little self-conscious but of course this is before he became a she and was perhaps feeling awkward in their skin anyhow. What ever it is the result is awesome! I think it only adds to the performance to see how much Anthony was feeling the music. I agree music should not be about how the performer moves to their creations. Music is about the sound, the feels not the sight! All the best performers get lost in their music somehow. Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Etta James. And the Portishead concerts my god her vulnerable and humble nature really, really works! Self inflated performers who only care about their dance look will only give that off on stage Fun to watch a stage performance too though.

@@jonkibbe6594 i so agree ... he is stunning ...

@@jonkibbe6594 I think her entire stage presence, and ofc her singing is beautiful and captivating.

How are things on your planet these days Zandrog? Have you guys fucked it up your home as well?

Gaye MacDonald Agree both ethereal in their own ways !

Rapture

Yea, a hells angel

Tom Noonan That's a man, amigo.

She is transgender and now identifies as a woman...

Rp G Nature is not this static and exists on a spectrum w/ gender like everything else. How do you define gender? If it is genetics then you need a genotype to say anything. The testis determining region on the Y chromosome often translocates different sections, making XX males all the way through tomboys to XX females w/ slight male characteristics and a higher testosterone level. The X chromosome also translocates onto the Y and there are XY females, XXY males (klinefelter's syndrome) etc. My point is not necessarily that gender has these exact correlates w/ dna, but rather even at it's most explicit, gender is a fluid concept that nature itself can put on a spectrum.

Tom Noonan perfect delivery of Leonard's perfect song !

Tom Noonan Antony is a cis gender man.

So glad to see it written! :)

Oh what a beautiful statement no doubt from a beautiful heart...

exactly.

So well said

Jamie Wish Amen.

AMEN !

My utmost inspiration! In everything! Always. I miss you so,so much Leonard Cohen. 😥😥😥😥❤❤❤❤❤

IKR!! Truly blown AWAY!

that's exactly the word, sacred.

Yes I have ,he singing that song ,gives so much peace and helps me deal and accept my life as it is❤
