Anthem
Adapted and performed by Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney
written by Leonard Cohen

Film by Robert Wyald featuring the photos of many artists, Plants,

Forget your Perfect Offering
Ring the Bells that still can Ring
There are Cracks in Everything
That’s how the Light gets in

Epilepsy is Dancing by Antony and the Johnsons

Epilepsy is dancing
She’s the Christ now departing
And I’m finding my rhythm
As I twist in the snow

All the metal burned in me
Down the brain of my river
That fire was searching
For a waterway home

I cry glitter is love!
My eyes pinned inside
With green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden veil

As I came to her screaming
Hold me while I’m dreaming
For my fingers are curling
And I cannot breathe

Then I cried in the kitchen
How I’d seen your ghost witching
As a soldering blue line
Between my eyes

I cry glitter is love!
My eyes
Pinned inside
Sea green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars
From a golden vein

Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner
Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner

Ooo now it’s passing
Ooo now I’m dancing
Ooo now it’s passing
Ooo now I’m dancing
Ooo now it’s passing
Ooo now I’m dancing
Ooo now it’s passing
Ooo now I’m dancing
