Antony and the Johnsons are a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City, New York, United States. The band is fronted by Anohni (f.k.a. Antony) who was born in 1971.
During the mid 90s Antony started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets she had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 she assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of her performances.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

LYRICS ********** When I'm floating in the water And your eyes are lilies all around When I'm lying sweetly in my bed The sun plays crystal with my eyes
Then I stop My body stops crying for home My limbs stop weeping for home
When I'm peeping in a parlour of trees And the leaves are winking all around I'm home, my heart sobs in my veins But brains they play the softest games
Fingers kiss the string Mouth taste the blade of everglade Of everglade
