Antony and the Johnsons

When I was in England I got introduced to this band, Antony and the Johnsons.

He's voice is beautiful. He is androgynous, ie, transgender. But still beautiful. And the lyrics of this song is even more beautiful.

I fell in love with a dead boy



I find you with red tears in your eyes
I ask you what is your name
You offer no reply
Should I call a doctor
Before I fear you might be dead
But I just lay down beside you
And held your hand

I fell in love with you
Now you're my one, only one
'Cause all my life I've been so blue
But in that moment you fulfilled me

Now I'll tell all my friends
I fell in love with a dead boy
Now I'll tell my family
I wish you could have met him

Now I write letters to Australia
Now I throw bottles out to sea
I whisper the secret in the ground
No one's gonna take you away from me

I fell in love with a dead boy
Oh, such a beautiful boy
I fell in love with a dead boy
Oh, such a beautiful boy


An amazing song that deserves a standing ovation. The MV was of him singing in real person. You should check out the whole song. Really tugs at the heart strings.
