Antony and The Johnsons: "Thank You For Your Love"

I have not been able to get this song by Antony and The Johnsons out of my head for the past couple of days. That slight flutter in Antony Hegarty's voice simply exudes such unadorned emotion, a sound which the horns deepen and intensify. Eloquently illustrating the old adage: it is not what you say, but how you say it, the track is lyrically straightforward and repetitive, but imparted with genuine earnestness and unabated passion. Hegarty can paradoxically sadden and uplift, as he does when delivering, with his faint quiver, this couplet: "When my mind was broken into a thousand pieces / Oh thank you for your love."
