Thinking Out Loud
Like everything that has to do with Leonard Cohen, the biopic "I Am Your Man" was uneven and shallow. But then there was one song:
How many times in succession did I watch this piece when I rented the DVD? 24 times? 50 times? Music and emotion can make for such a powerful confluence, and I felt as if my own feelings had joined with Cohen's words and melody to produce Antony. It was as if Antony was a holographic image caused by me listening to that song. That's how personal the experience became. Amazing, amazing performance, 100% devoid of ego or glitter, those constant dangers to music. Here is a human being, stripped down to melody and emotion, improvising, unsure of the words and unsure of himself, and Antony gives us himself the way the music wants him to. Phenomenal. As far away from rock and roll as you can get.
The lovely Antony sings "If It Be Your Will" by Leonard Cohen.
