Antony - "Rise"

Sir Antony (which is what we will all be calling him one day) wrote a song about the coral reef, and how we must make the requisite choices to preserve its beauty OR ELSE, for the film project CORAL REKINDLING VENUS, a “major work for fulldome digital planetariums by acclaimed artist Lynette Wallworth.” You can hear it soundtracking the eco-film’s trailer (and download it) below. From the Vimeo description, the film is “an extraordinary journey into a mysterious realm of fluorescent coral reefs, bioluminescent sea creatures and rare marine life, revealing a complex community living in the oceans most threatened by climate change.” It looks beautiful, and sounds nice with “RISE,” which has Antony representing the cause via typically tearjerking piano-based operatic gravitas. If you care to get real about the endangered beauty of the underseas for a moment and are unafraid to show emotion, this is your link:

  1. for what it’s worth, Antony was left completely out of the transgender artists in music convo in the Against Me! thread a couple of weeks ago.

    • True, but I think because Antony didn’t transition in the middle of or after their career. I also say “their” because, though I’m fairly certain Antony’s transition was male-to-female, I feel like I always read people using the masculine pronoun set. It is possible to be neither, and I think that maybe Antony is neither.
