I’m bisexual but I haven’t told anyone yet. I’m a Christian and I feel like there’s something wrong with me because of my feelings, but this song makes me feel loved my Jesus regardless. He went up on that tree to be alone with ME
I was in high school in 04 in the Chicago suburbs, just waiting to move to the city to play music. The dream has become a reality. Glad Sufjan is still around doing his thing.
Damn. I remember watching this exact video 10 years ago when I was in high school and it's bringing back all kinds of memories. I was deeply infatuated with this girl from Michigan who showed me Sufjan Stevens. Being a socially awkward teen with self-esteem issues though, I couldn't bring myself to ever confess that to her. I wrote a song about her and threw in the phrase "to be alone with you" in the bridge thinking she might get the hint that the song was about her. God, I'm so happy I'm not 17 anymore.
I saw him live a couple of days ago, and I literally started sobbing. He's just such an amazing person and artist! He's truly made his hark on how this century of music will be remembered.
this music is so beautiful, i don't understand why you have to relate it and say " I'm an atheist and i like this" who cares if you are atheist just enjoy the music, if you don't believe in God, then get over it and listen to it. the song is to Jesus, but if you see it in another way its your perception. smile!!!
