I have a few things by Antony, but this tops all of his work by miles in my opinion. The poignancy in the verses is just arrestingly gorgeous.
I think it was you who got me into him in the first place too, with this song in fact!

Great thread topic and lots of cool posts, haven't heard a lot of these before! Most songs that suggest sadness (slow, dirgy, dissonant) usually don't make me feel sad; it's usually a song that conjures up sad memories. For instance, one of my friends that was killed at age 30 in a car accident. At her memorial, they played this song, which ruined the song for me:

I've also attended more than my share of funerals and memorial services--and because I've heard this so many times at the services, it makes me sad, in spite of it being a beautiful song:

Why won't you listen to that song?
