Music reviews of Another World
Music Review: Paradise Lost
Rating: 5 Stars
Played again now, against the heartbreaking holocaust unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico, "Another World" can be seen as a haunted goodbye to the fading beauty of our planet's natural world:
I need another place
Will there be peace?
I need another world
This one's nearly gone
Still have too many dreams
Never seen the light
I need another world
A place where I can go
I'm gonna miss the sea
I'm gonna miss the snow
I'm gonna miss the bees
I'll miss the things that grow
I'm gonna miss the trees
I'm gonna miss the sound
I'll miss the animals
I'm gonna miss you all
I need another place
Will there be peace?
I need another world
This one's nearly gone
I'm gonna miss the birds
Singing all this songs
Been kissing this so long
When a world teeming with natural life and abundance, a world not only unto itself but one that provides its bounty of goodness for humanity, is destroyed by greed, recklessness, power and opportunism, who speaks for it in its time of dying?
Framed as a plaint for what we are squandering on Earth, Antony sings in a quiet but firm moral voice, full of sadness, and the words "I need another world" are born of an understanding that you cannot turn back from the permanent. So, what we have left is a mourning prayer, and I have a dream of BP fat cats being forced to play this song, while shown images of sea life and bird life perishing in the oil poisoning Louisiana's coast and getting down on their knees, weeping and asking God's forgiveness.

Description of Another World
Antony & The Johnsons emerged on the international stage in 2005 with their breakthrough "I Am A Bird Now." His first new material since 2006 is a prelude to the new full-length, "The Crying Light", coming in January 2009. Of the project, Antony said, "I wanted to mark this moment very clearly in my life. I love and feel so anchored by the natural world, which gave birth to me, which supplies and supports my life, this experience of color and light and aching beauty. But the world is changing so fast now. 'Another World' is a song for the present but also a song for the future. What have I lost? And what is to come?"Alternative Rock CDs
