The Standard

Haunting Sweet Little Tune

Jun 29 2011

It’s lovely to hear a song so raw. Antony & The Johnsons is one of the rare poets of our day. This song, “Epilespy is Dancing” is one that grabs a hold of us, tickles our curiosity, and cuts us somewhere inside. You’ll hear this little heartbreaking tune score the melancholic Miami sunset at The Standard Spa, Miami Beach.

Epilepsy is dancing

Shes the Christ now departing
And Im finding my rhythm
As I twist in the snow

All the metal burned in me
Down the brain of my river
That fire was searching
For a waterway home

I cry glitter is love!
My eyes pinned inside
With green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein

As I came to a screaming
Hold me while Im dreaming
For my fingers are curling
And I cannot breathe

Then I cried in the kitchen
How Id seen your ghost witching
As a soldering blue line
Between my eyes

I cry glitter is love!
My eyes
Pinned inside
Sea green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein

Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Oh now its passing
Oh now Im dancing
