This is inspired by her friend Lou Reed who died in 2013. A friend of mine expressed to me in the final months of his life that the simplest sensations had begun to feel almost rapturous; a carer had placed a shard of ice on his tongue one day and it was such a sweet and unbelievable feeling that it caused him to weep with gratitude. He was a hardcore kind of guy and these moments were transforming the way he was seeing things. I wrote “Sliver of Ice,” remembering those words of his.

Thank you for sharing this. My daughter and I did this day and night until my mother died. We held her and told her we loved her so much in the years before she died.

loving the fairy wings.

Rest in peace, Lou. What a loving and honest way to honor your friend.

A beautiful song to remember those we've loved..those we've lost...and for those of us who feel lost inside & that includes me .

As a queer poet from the other side of the world, a trans feminist who also had chance to listen you alive at my city İstanbul.... I feel so lucky and happy that you turned back sharing your art with all of us. Welcome back Anohni love, Vurulduk ey Halkım, Unutma bizi...(Selda) We did not forget you at all, dear. 🔥🌀🖤🌊

If ever there was an album worthy of a Grammy, this is it.

Damn your vocals are amazing in every song. I love you ANOHNI 💜

If you've known a loved one like I have, on their last days of life then you would really get this song as I do. My mom's last days , all she wanted for was a cup of crushed ice. I would give her a spoonful for her relief. In the end that's all she asked for . Just reminds me of that time. that place. 33 years ago. xxoo

When your voice surfs my soul I know how sweet life is...

I just know this album is going to be absolutely beautiful, the first two songs are simply wonderful

This isn´t just a song...this is art!

Her music makes me cry too because I don't understand how this beauty is in our world.

ANOHNI, We definitely need more of you and you music in our lives

we need you baby please never leave you're so important for us

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 missed you so much cannot wait for the new album

Eu fico tão feliz de ver vários comentários de brasileiros, a maioria na verdade! ANOHNI é um anjo, uma voz surreal de tão linda e melancólica!

🌤Anonhi & the Johnsons still at Their finest Her Voice is superb Here ❤

Mother mothering. Truly

I’m in tears… there’s so much beauty and poetry ‘à fleur de peau’ as we say in France. I love you so much more Anohni. ❤

Simply one of the most beautiful voices of our times. Thank you Anohni ❤

Anohni, you are my favourite artist ever. Thank you for your art and your existence.

I am silenced and in awe, beautiful is not enough to describe this ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The singing, song writing, melody, mood, all of it, evokes such a beautiful, peaceful and calm that words alone cannot describe. I just played this Friday early morning after a night of dancing, a friend urged me to put it on as we unwinded into the dawn. Immediately, I was taken and am still so overwhelmed by the feelings this record evokes, it's just beyond. I sometime's cannot believe and am astonished by how music and art can be so transcendent. Anhoni has gifted this world an art form that will last an eternity, while giving great honor to the lovely muse Ms. Marsha P. Johnson smiling back at us with her warm and embracing portrait - a beautiful spirit who will be celebrated by even more people some of who may have never heard of her work and legacy, because of this album.

This is the music that the world needs right now I'm so glad that you exist anohni i love you girl you are my wildflower

This is so beautiful and deeply moving, feels like it has a direct path to my soul. Thank you for making new music.

Thank you it is a gorgeous track

One of the prettiest songs I have ever heard. I feel like Anohni would be a fascinating person to talk to.

i have a pile of emotions right when your voice comes in

You are an angel of music, and I have been proudly simping your art for nearly two decades. Discovered your music while programming a college radio station, and you've been inspiring me ever since. ❤️

Wow. This song made me cry. Thank you ANOHNI!

Thank you kindly for sharing your art you beautiful soul, love you ❤
