| Antony and the Johnsons – I Fell in Love with a Dead Boy Lyrics
| 15 years ago

I commented this in the wrong place last year, and I just looked at this page recently when I heard this song again. FloydFixation, I saw the movie tooo....and thats what I thought. Well this is what I wrote above that may not have appeared for everyone to see:
I watched a French film, "Wild Side" that opened with this song. It was based on transgendered prostitutes. They sold themselves not just for money, but to show the world that there are differences out there and it should not be feared--most people don't even understand how common it is to be born with more than one gender. The film was shocking and opened my eyes to the lifestyle of a transgender prostitute more than anything. In this movie, a thirty something year old woman, was once a man her whole life. I believe more than anything that she was this "dead boy" along with the rest of the people in this world who are born into an uncomfortable body and life with the choice of changing their sex their entire lives. This song could be interpreted in many ways, but the most obvious and the deepest view would have to be through what I saw in this film. She may have a penis, she may look like a boy on the exterior, and people may not believe her when she says she is really a woman, and people may fall in love with her as this boy but nothing in life, even gender, is constant. |

I have seen Ed Sharpe twice live, and both times this performance ignited something inside me that I have never felt thru another song. They all have such an inspiring presence. The words are so straightforward and they have such a simple meaning, but they trigger the deepest feelings of love that we all carry within us that we don't always express. Being "home" wraps all of these feelings into one word for me. We all know what its like to be home, to be safe, to feel protected, to have reciprocated love that just makes me you want to shoot into the sky. When I hear this specific song, I think of everything that has once or currently makes me feel uplifted and high. I cant help but let go and move my body loosely and i just feel so full of bliss... from the second he starts in with that whistling. My head seriously doesnt stop bobbing and my arms dont stop fluttering everytime i dance to this song....aha... umm yeah so I'd definitely say that this song changed the way I listen to music and what I look for in music. There isnt another song that has ever made me so happy. Jade and the other girl in the band dove into the crowd during their performance at Coachella this year at the end of the show with flowers in their hair and every other person in the band was just doing their thang on stage. I loved this song before I saw them live, but the make their music through their performances. If already enjoy their music and if you have the chance to see them, you cannot turn it up... it will complete your life. |
