Sufjan Stevens - Should Have Known Better (Live) 

The total silence of the audience is beautiful. Every recording of him live the audience is just watching in awe as Sufjan makes beautiful music.

can't help but cry when I listen to this song

theres no such thing as a perfect performa--...

He persuades so much emotion in each of his songs. Incredible song writer and singer.

I should have known better To see what I could see My black shroud Holding down my feelings A pillar for my enemies I should have wrote a letter And grieve what I happen to grieve My black shroud I never trust my feelings I waited for the remedy When I was three, three maybe four She left us at that video store Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy I'm light as a feather I'm bright as the Oregon breeze My black shroud Frightened by my feelings I only want to be a relief No, I'm not a go-getter The demon had a spell on me My black shroud Captain of my feelings The only thing I want to believe When I was three, and free to explore I saw her face on the back of the door Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy Oh, be my rest, be my fantasy I should have known better Nothing can be changed The past is still the past The bridge to nowhere I should have wrote a letter Explaining what I feel That empty feeling Don't back down, concentrate on seeing The breakers in the bar, the neighbor's greeting My brother had a daughter The beauty that she brings, illumination Don't back down, there is nothing left The breakers in the bar, no reason to live I'm a fool in the fetter (fool in the fetter) Rose of Aaron's beard, where you can reach me Don't back down, nothing can be changed Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor My brother had a daughter (brother had a daughter) The beauty that she brings, illumination (illumination) Illumination

3:20 onwards absolute heaven !!!

I am so glad i exist in the same reality as this song

I haven't had these feelings since Leonard Cohen

The blurs , bokehs and silhouettes make me think this performance is being watched by some teary eyes.

@Hema Zied, I have no idea who you are or how you got ahold of this high-production video, but thank you for sharing it.

Illumination

That bridge is truly wonderful.

Thank you Sufjan! This song hits home for me. I feel like you took everything I feel and wrote it in the most beautiful way! The structure is real, but this song lifts me every time ☺

I'm listening to this song now thanks to PARK JIMIN from BTS. In a V LIVE he said he was listening to this song and recommended it to the fans to listen to it.

i think Sufjan Stevens and Weyes Blood should collaborate sometime, it would be otherworldly beautiful

Dude is just splendid

If Sufjan join The Voice audition, I would definitely press the button even before he's about to inhale..

Outstanding
