Each time I think of that Facebook page that asks “Is this Sufjan Stevens song gay or about God?” This song in particular makes me want to scream “BOTH!” haha. Such a fantastic song.
found this in freshman year of high school now im at a legal age to buy weed (': played this loud asf to bounce the sound off the mountains in my valley
I lost a very good friend of mine a couple of months before my 18th birthday. I had been friends with him my whole life, it was that special kind of friendship you think you will have forever. It felt like the death of my childhood, like all of my memory’s growing up were tainted now. This song makes me feel that sense of aging, going from a boy to a man. It makes me think about the past, but also forces me to confront the fact that things will change. People will change and people will go. But I’ll still be here, lying in wait for whatever will happen next. It’s sort of exciting not knowing how things will turn out.
Well I have known you For just a little while But I feel I've known you I feel I've seen you When the Earth was split in fives And in your words, I Should let it out, I Would see you die But I'm a watcher I see it watch her It's in your afterlife This is the Age of Adz Eternal living Oh keep from trying Oh keep from caring You are the light We see you trying to Be something else that You're not, we think you're nice The circumstances Of what I thought, I Could see it now I wouldn't be so I wouldn't feel so But it's a running wild This is the Age of Adz Eternal lving When it dies, when it dies It rots And when it lives, when it lives It gives it all it gots This is the Age of Adz Eternal living It rots It gives it all it gots This is the Age of Adz Eternal living In all reflections I see your method I see it all And what about you? And what about me? Are we the lost of lost Don't speak too soon, don't be fruit of loom, don't Excite yourself For what you see is Not fantasy, it's Not what it gets, but gives This is the Age of Adz Eternal living In all reflections I see it mentioned I see it all The gorgeous mess of Your face impressed us Imposed of all its art This is the Age of Adz Eternal living When it dies, when it dies It rots And when it lives, when it lives It gives it all it gots This is the Age of Adz Eternal living It rots It gives it all it gots This is the Age of Adz Eternal living When I die, when I die I'll rot But when I live, when I live I'll give it all I've got When I die, when I die I'll rot But when I live, when I live I'll give it all I've got Gloria, Gloria Victoria, Victoria It lives in all of us Gloria, Gloria Victoria, Victoria It lives in all of us I've lost the will to fight I was not made for life I've lost the will to fight I was not made for life Now I have known you For just a little while I feel I must be wearing my welcome I must be moving on For my intentions were good intentions I could have loved you I could have changed you I wouldn't be so I wouldn't feel so Consumed by selfish thoughts I'm sorry if I seem self-effacing Consumed by selfish thoughts It's only that I still love you deeply It's all the love I've got
Lover, will you look at me now? I'm already dead to you But I'm inclined to explain To you what I could not before Whatever you didn't do, what you couldn't say I am sorry that the worst has arrived For I deserve more. For at least I deserve the respect of a kiss goodbye Tell me, do you think of me now As I think of you? For I could not have shaken the touch of your breath on my arm For it has stayed in me as an epithet I am sorry the worst has arrived For I'm on the floor In the room where we made it our last touch of the night I walked, 'cause you walked But I won't probably get very far Sensation to what you said But I'm not about to expect something more I would not have run off But I couldn't bear that it's me It's my fault I should not be so lost But I've got nothing left to love Lover, will you look from me now I'm already dead But I've come to explain Why I left such a mess on the floor For when you went away I went crazy. I was wild with the breast of a dog I ran through the night With the knife in my chest With the lust of your loveless life I walked, 'cause you walked But I won't probably get very far Sensation to what you said But I'm not about to expect something more I would not have run off But I couldn't bear that it's me It's my fault I should not be so lost But I've got nothing left to love I walked, 'cause you walked I walked, 'cause you walked I walked, 'cause you walked I walked, 'cause you walked
It's been a long, long time Since I've memorized your face It's been four hours now Since I've wandered through your place And when I sleep on your couch I feel very safe And when you bring the blankets I cover up my face I do Love you I do Love you And when you play guitar I listen to the strings buzz The metal vibrates underneath your fingers And when you crochet I feel mesmerized and proud And I would say I love you But saying it out loud is hard So I won't say it at all And I won't stay very long But you are life I needed all along I think of you as my brother Although that sounds dumb And words are futile devices
I'll talk but I know you won't listen to me Oh you wouldn't say it but you wanted to Don't look, don't walk away when I am speaking I'll take it, but I know it's not for taking The oneness of one of which you notice me I told you, do not follow what you couldn't see Oh, I love you, I love you Some way, you will want it your way, sunrise So I would not be mistaken what I know is right Don't be so funny with me, I'm not laughing Oh, I love you, I love you
Ever since I first knew this song, I've said that I nearly convert every time I hear it. This gives me such chills that I literally squirm with in my body.
Well I am praying in my head right now for you sister. So glad you clicked on this video, I'm sure it's GOD telling you something. Maybe he knew you would like this song and wants you to know more about him now. Ya never know the Lord works in mysterious ways. God bless! 👍😁🌸📖💗
This song immediately soothes my anxiety and calms me down mentally/emotionally. And I don't really even believe in God. Sufjan Stevens - you're a national treasure
This reminds me of Sunday school and how I’d be caught up in the Holy Spirit. I was so young when I experienced it all, 8 or 9 perhaps. It was a pinnacle. Now, I have left that behind.
How could you leave it behind after experiencing something like that? I had the same thing happen at 14 and again at 24. I've been down a lot of roads, both good and bad, but having tasted the goodness of the Spirit, I couldn't go back if I wanted to.
reminds me of one of the most beautiful summers of my life. Going home at sunrise through Berlin and listening to this song. It was magical. Thank you Sufjan
