I first saw Antony and The Johnsons on David Letterman; I had never heard of them but from the moment he opened his mouth and began to sing "You Are My Sister", I was immediately moved! I've since listened to other music by this beautiful artist and all of his music is haunting, literally, it will linger in your mind and in your heart long after you have listened to it. I ordered "You Are My Sister" for my own sister for Christmas; it explains what I feel for my sister perfectly. This music is very different and more than likely you will either love it or completely hate it, but I think either way, it will stay with you. There is simply nothing else quite like this sound out there anywhere!

These might be the best four songs I've ever heard in a row. "You Are My Sister" is a supplemental ep to the full length album "I am a bird now" but stands as a singular work of melancholic genius. "Paddy's Gone," the last track on the ep, will forever be (for me) the most somber and sincere song written to express an individuals experience of loss.

Regarding Bill Smith's review, this is the only studio version available of "You Are My Sister". The liner notes clearly state the person singing with Antony - BOY GEORGE. His voice and vibrato are shot due to hard core drug addiction and two decades of hard living. It's a great song, nonetheless!!!

The Title of this CD threw me off; the description and the first review didn't help either. The primary reason for buying this CD was the song "You Are My Sister", but this version is a duet with someone that can't sing. I can't tell which CD has a version of the song as seen on Letterman. Disappointing.
