Description:
On the second single from Antony & The Johnson's "I Am A Bird Now", Antony presents one of the strongest solo pieces in his staggeringly rich repertoire. The song "Hope There's Someone" is a rush of pure emotion, a true performance with every bit of hope, supplication, distress, horror, lament, agony, sorrow and accession, spanning the entire life-death experience.

Pitchfork characterizes the song remarking, "It starts all atremble with a disarmingly naked prayer ("Hope there's someone who'll take care of me when I die, when I go"). Two of the three songs are previously unreleased outtakes from the "I Am A Bird Now" sessions. The single also contains a new video for "Hope There's Someone" by the up-and-coming NYC director Glen Fogel. The video, and cover art, features a captivating portrait of the NYC legend Joey Gabriel.
