Verdens fineste, tristeste sang... <3 Sufjan Stevens <3
Casimir Pulaski Day - Sufjan Stevens
Golden rod and the 4-H stone
The things I brought you
When I found out you had cancer of the bone
Your father cried on the telephone
And he drove his car to the Navy yard
Just to prove that he was sorry
In the morning through the window shade
When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade
I could see what you were reading
Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications you could do without
When I kissed you on the mouth
Tuesday night at the bible study
We lift our hands and pray over your body
But nothing ever happens
I remember at Michael's house
In the living room when you kissed my neck
And I almost touched your blouse
In the morning at the top of the stairs
When your father found out what we did that night
And you told me you were scared
Oh the glory when you ran outside
With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied
And you told me not to follow you
Sunday night when I cleaned the house
I find the card where you wrote it out
With the pictures of your mother
On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom
In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window
In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing
Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes
Jeg vil og kunne skrive så fine sanger...
Dette er min all time Sufjan Stevens-favoritt :)
Tenkte jeg skulle dele den med dere.
Den er bare helt...ja. De av dere som ikke har hørt den har gått glipp av noe.
Her kan dere høre sangen, så får dere heller gjemme vinduet hvis dere helst vil slippe å se filmen samtidig (en smule ensformig som den er :p)
Finnes masse live-versjoner her og, men liker album-versjonen best.

Men ja. Sufjan Stevens generelt - Illinois-albumet er et av de beste albumene jeg noengang har hørt. Det er liksom en grunn til at man skal høre hele albumet i sammenheng; ikke en samling hits som så mange andre album, men en helhet hvor endel av sporene ikke gir noen mening hver for seg.
Hvis bare flere kunne lage sånne album...
Litt rart humør nå. Får ikke sove. Litt apatisk og rar i hodet om dagen.
Men nå skal jeg høre denne sangen og så sooove.
