Thank You For Your LoveAntony&the Johnsons
This song, with its distinctive, warm vocals, is Antony and the Johnsons’ “Thank You For Your Love.” It’s a very simple track that repeats “thank you,” but sometimes “thank you” is the only way to convey gratitude.
Antony and the Johnsons is a band started in the United States by the British vocalist Anohni.
The rich use of live instruments gives the music a very warm feel.
