"Hope There's Someone"

Last night I went to see Antony and the Johnsons in Antwerp, Belgium.
I went there with my best friend Cat and her boyfriend Daniel (Wouter couldn't go, SUCKER hehe).
We entered the building and noticed that it was sold out, no suprise because he sold out 3 nights in Holland against doorprices starting with 80 euros.

Inside we took our seat and watched a female dancer who would perform before Antony would hit the stage.
A lot of drugs was needed to enjoy it I guess because I couldn't understand it while I was sober.

After 20 minutes Antony and the Johnsons hit the stage, A tranvestite who produces some of hte most intense and beautifull music I have ever heard! He started of with a song from his new record which was a nice opener, the second song was "for today I am a boy" and goosebumps were revealing over my whole body, strange because at the same time Cat was saying to me that she had goosebumps over her whole body during that song! INTENSE!

The hightlight of the entire show which lasted more than 1,5 hour was "Fistfull of Love" which builds up from a really tiny ballad towards a big and soulfull ending which I totally loved!

After 1,5 hour she left the stage and came back to play one of my favourite songs ever: "Hope There's Someone" which was a few years ago the first song I've ever heard by Antony and which totally grab me emotionally through it's lyrics and music...
I guess I've posted this song before but I do it again with some lyrics...hope it does that much to you as it does to me:
check it out at 0.42! That's how moving music can be!



Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night

How will I rest my head
Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired
