Her voice. She's trans. I researched the back story of this song and it's incredibly sad. Whether you agree with the lifestyle, everyone deserves life.
OMG. Got this from Bones. But searched it, and listened to it fully. I did not expect the emotions, that over took me. Tears was running down my face. Such a powerful song.
When I first read the lyrics after I heard this on bones... I was in quite a dark period in life anyway... mourning the loss of my mother, and praying to God for her to cradle my miscarried daughter in her arms while she danced for joy on the streets of paradise..
Heard this while watching show "Bones." I love the sound of this song ... currently listening to it as I study for tomorrow's exam. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ....
Beautiful voice and thanks for educating us about Marsha P Johnson. We cannot make the world right - the only thing we can do is in our own life is to do what we think is right to the best of our ability.
No way... What millions of people have been trying to understand for centuries was said in 45 minutes of a tv show. Damn I love Bones. “I am a child of a man, I am a child of a woman... But more importantly I am a child of God and as I look aroud I see others like me. We don't look alike. None of us look alike. On the outside we are gay and straight, black and white, fat and thin, man and woman, saint and sinner. Should I keep going or do you guys catch my word? But inside... inside we’re all the same.”
There has really been some magnificent songs at the end of the episodes of Bones... I have just recently started watching and have now become a huge fan of the series. Thank you Bones❤️🎸
This song is about Marsha P Johnson - which is also what "the Johnsons" represents in Antony and the Johnsons. Marsha was one of the first transgender woman and also the mother of Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (S.T.A.R) her body was found floating in the Hudson River after the 1992 Pride March and the police ruled it a suicide, but everyone who knew her knew she wasn't suicide and that's what this song is about.
I had no idea about the history of this song, I loved it since I first heard it - so much emotion. But now it also gained meaning. 'Can you see the light, at the end of the dark passageway. Take me with you toward this light into the darkness passing over the faces in the river. Hear me! I'm whispering in your ear.' Thank you Antony and solidarity with your struggle!
There is a black river It passes by my window And late at night All dolled up like Christ I walk the water Between the piers Singing Oh River of sorrow River of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time For we all know the baby has expired Long ago she was pulled from the mire And no precious liar or well-wisher Can return the love that was stolen Oh River of sorrow River of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time Can you see the light At the end of the dark passageway Take me with you towards the light Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river Hear me! I'm whispering in your ear! Oh River of sorrow Oh River of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time Oh River of sorrow Oh River of time River of sorrow Don't swallow this time
When I was 20 and a social outcast, cleaning toilets in Oxford.. I Hung out with a female Greek AI student from MIT and the gay son of a Greek general.. and we saw Anthony at a theatre in Oxford I think. They had a girl who did a scissor dance (she looked like Edward scissorhands) during the breaks and this and Anthonys music.. I swear it was perfect. An amazing show. With the exception of the Shaolin monks and some Tuvan throatsingers.. nothing was able to beat this do far.
Thinking about the Orlando shooting. I've heard this song was written about Marsha P Johnson - an early LGBTQ icon who stood up at the Stonewall Riots for the rights of gay people to be free. In June of 1992 her body was pulled from the Hudson River in NYC - following a recent Pride appearance. Police ruled her death a suicide, but her closest friends claim she had complained about being recently harassed near the river and believe she was murdered because she was a non-gender conforming LGBTQ person. RIP

That "moron" is Antony himself directing the band because the music was recorded live with the main vocal done later as an overdub. It gives the track an intimacy as it feels like you're in the room with the band as they play the song.
The Bones episode it was featured on, was about a transgender woman. So they knew what the song was about and used it appropriately. It's a beautiful song and a sad true story. Let's not forget someone who was strong enough to stand up for what she believed in. Freedom.
Il y a une rivière noire Elle passe devant ma fenêtre Et, tard le soir Pomponné comme le Christ Je marche sur l'eau Entre les piliers de la jetée Chantant Oh, rivière du chagrin Rivière du temps Rivière du chagrin N'avale pas cet instant Car nous savons tous que le bébé a rendu l'âme Il y a longtemps, elle fut tirée de la boue Et aucun petit menteur bien intentionné Ne peut rendre l'amour qui a été volé Alors, rivière du temps Rivière du temps Rivière du chagrin N'avale pas cet instant Peux-tu voir la lumière Au bout du sombre tunnel Emmène-moi avec toi vers la lumière Dans les ténèbres survolant les visages dans la rivière Entends-moi, je chuchote dans ton oreille Oh, rivière du chagrin Oh, rivière du temps Rivière du chagrin N'avale pas cet instant Oh, rivière du chagrin Oh, rivière du temps Rivière du chagrin N'avale pas cet instant
a hymn to my ancestor and beloved. rest in peace saint Marsha. I love you and I believe in your vision. I vow to protect all trans people. I vow to fight against str8ness and capitalism. I vow to honor your life and legacy. saint Marsha of Christopher street you are not forgotten.
Heard this song on Bones and man oh man.... this voice captivated me.
Just heard it via the same show, SHAZAMed it & had to hear the whole thing!!
exactly. by Bones.
same.
Her voice. She's trans. I researched the back story of this song and it's incredibly sad. Whether you agree with the lifestyle, everyone deserves life.
Me too!
OMG. Got this from Bones. But searched it, and listened to it fully. I did not expect the emotions, that over took me. Tears was running down my face. Such a powerful song.
That's where I first heard it too... Since then I've quite fell for this bands unique style... Brings my emotions to the surface every time.
When I first read the lyrics after I heard this on bones... I was in quite a dark period in life anyway... mourning the loss of my mother, and praying to God for her to cradle my miscarried daughter in her arms while she danced for joy on the streets of paradise..
Me too, incredibly beautiful, made my cry
Heard this while watching show "Bones." I love the sound of this song ... currently listening to it as I study for tomorrow's exam. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ....
+sillyGoosehonkhonk I woke up this morning with this song in my head and couldn't figure out where I had heard it , It took a while but, I found it.
sillyGoosehonkhonk how did your exam go ? Hope you passed it x
I also
Me too!
Did you pass?
Beautiful voice and thanks for educating us about Marsha P Johnson.
We cannot make the world right - the only thing we can do is in our own life is to do what we think is right to the best of our ability.
My God....the beauty of this song....of her voice....of these words....and of the pain while listening.
i owe marsha p johnson my life, without her everything would be so different. rest in peace

I seen the same episode of bones a while ago and had to look up this song. His voice is amazing

I just can't believe our trans brothers and sisters are being killed and no one is doing anything about it...
I never knew this. Thank you.
thank you for this, I had no idea
So very sad to hear this story but what an amazing song
Bones brought me here!! First time I've ever heard of these. Where have you been for this long 💖💖

There is a black river
It passes by my window
And late at night
All dolled up like Christ
I walk the water
Between the piers
Singing
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time
For we all know the baby has expired
Long ago she was pulled from the mire
And no precious liar or well-wisher
Can return the love that was stolen
Oh
River of sorrow
River of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time
Can you see the light
At the end of the dark passageway
Take me with you towards the light
Into the darkness passing over the faces in the river
Hear me!
I'm whispering in your ear!
Oh
River of sorrow
Oh
River of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time
Oh
River of sorrow
Oh
River of time
River of sorrow
Don't swallow this time
Heard from the bones episode. Now knowing the songs history, it was a perfect choice for that episode. Brings tears to my eyes.❤ RIP Marsha P. Johnson

Much easier to be sad with your voice here Anohny. Thank you for you.
Love this heard for the first in an episode of bones and I'm addicted brill love the hear more
Bones, the end of season 4 episode 7- always swim with a buddy. A beautiful mix of song, sadness and humor.

I Hung out with a female Greek AI student from MIT and the gay son of a Greek general.. and we saw Anthony at a theatre in Oxford I think.

Bones
this song is fitting for the episode of bones I found it from. really sad but beautiful piece, here.
Bones brought me here :-))
Hans Brivic me to I’m

Who cares if a TV show brought this absolutely amazing song and artist to new people? Don't think hating on people helps.
I love them, song makes me cry
I am so glad you uploaded this...I've been looking for it everywhere!
Waaaaaaaw
That "moron" is Antony himself directing the band because the music was recorded live with the main vocal done later as an overdub. It gives the track an intimacy as it feels like you're in the room with the band as they play the song.
Beautifull!

Il y a une rivière noire
Elle passe devant ma fenêtre
Et, tard le soir
Pomponné comme le Christ
Je marche sur l'eau
Entre les piliers de la jetée
Chantant
Oh, rivière du chagrin
Rivière du temps
Rivière du chagrin
N'avale pas cet instant
Car nous savons tous que le bébé a rendu l'âme
Il y a longtemps, elle fut tirée de la boue
Et aucun petit menteur bien intentionné
Ne peut rendre l'amour qui a été volé
Alors, rivière du temps
Rivière du temps
Rivière du chagrin
N'avale pas cet instant
Peux-tu voir la lumière
Au bout du sombre tunnel
Emmène-moi avec toi vers la lumière
Dans les ténèbres survolant les visages dans la rivière
Entends-moi, je chuchote dans ton oreille
Oh, rivière du chagrin
Oh, rivière du temps
Rivière du chagrin
N'avale pas cet instant
Oh, rivière du chagrin
Oh, rivière du temps
Rivière du chagrin
N'avale pas cet instant
Why is this not on spotify
ShadowDawn01 same problem 😭😭😭
