Cover art for For Today I Am a Boy lyrics by Antony and the Johnsons

Oh my goodness this whole album is a weird little miracle.

I read somewhere that this is about transgendered and that makes perfect sense but that's not really how I personally interpret it. To me it's more about feeling small and if not ugly, then at least unremarkable, and wanting to grow up into something bigger and beautiful and powerful. And I like the way that this song is pretty touching to me in that way. It can work on different levels for different people.
