Found on the physical CD of "Mews Too: An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation", from February 2006.This is a song about Sufjan's friend from elementary school, Opie, who passed on as a child. It was the first death of someone Sufjan knew.
You make it beautiful, friend You make it worth it, to the end You put a hole in my head Just like you put a fire in the tree Ever since dawn Ever since when You put the note in my pocket again And you said you wanted to meet me at three I was invited for once Yes, I was invited for once You make it difficult, friend You make it worth it, to the end You put a hole in our heads Just like you put a fire in the tree Ever since dawn Ever since three We made the plans at your party to be And we tied the ribbon beside your back tree Yes, we tied it upside down Yes, we tied it upside down
really needed this. my grandmother passed away recently and i only just found out because i googled her name. ive been estranged from my family for a long time. my heart hurts like hell, but sufjan is always there to make it better.
