Live -- Antony and the Johnsons
"In interviews around the world in 2010, Antony described his work on Swanlights and The Crying Light
as "a collision between joy and a sense of hopelessness". Antony said
he was struggling to come to terms with the idea that he was part of a
society that was having a “virulent” impact on the earth.[9]
He suggested that the degradation of nature was partially a result of
the subjugation of women and earth-based spiritual systems.[9]
Antony also blamed the collapse of humanity's sustainable relationship
with the earth in part on the rise of patriarchal religions that suggest
the destiny of humanity to be "a paradise elsewhere". Interview Magazine describes Swanlights as “an emotional personal call for global, collective change”.
