I never would have guessed that Sufjan Stevens was a really good looking muscular dude with a deep voice. That destroys the stereotype I had of him as a scrawny guy with a high voice.
It's kinda moving to me that the elliottness of this songs shines through the way it does. It's such a beautiful tune and I'm sure sufjan would be flattered
It's actually impressive how Sufjan's actual voice is deep yet sings in a higher voice and sings the song in a different transposition. It feels more angelic and desolating.. in a good way.
When I first heard this song I felt like I’d listened to it in my past. But no. It’s funny when you feel that way. Only true beauty gets you to that point
Lyrics: I'd swim across Lake Michigan I'd sell my shoes I'd give my body to be back again In the rest of the room To be alone with you To be alone with you To be alone with you To be alone with you You gave your body to the lonely They took your clothes You gave up a wife and a family You gave your goals To be alone with me To be alone with me To be alone with me You went up on a tree To be alone with me you went up on the tree I've never known a man who loved me

goes to show tht everyone "goes through it" even if you're good looking or seemingly norm
taking absolutely nothing away from sufjan, this sounds so much like a song elliott smith would write
YESSSS
Couldn't agree more.

@Joseph David true, but I also think that either of them is too good individually to be compared in terms of the other!
I think if you had a venn diagram of sufjan/elliott listenership, there would be a huge overlap.
Omg the contrast in his singing voice as opposed to his speaking voice is immense! They're both rugged and sexy/angelic and wise respectively! 😍
True,
he's an weeping angel
An hero

diamonds in his eyes
I’ve been listening to him for a few years and.... I was not aware he was this hot. It’s like Christmas morning over here.

Lyrics:
I'd swim across Lake Michigan
I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
To be alone with you
You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and a family
You gave your goals
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree
To be alone with me you went up on the tree
I've never known a man who loved me
This dude is a legit believer
This man is everything
he's even better live
Two of my favorite things in the world, Edinburgh and To be alone with you
This song always makes me cry 💓
Such a man
Is he crying?just asking.I would be crying too.
everyone wiping away tears
oh god this is so good
So lovely
He kinda sounds like Dallas Green from City and Colour when talking and they both do a 180 when they sing.
Love. Christ is so simple. Believe!
I love you!
sobbing rn
like, it was live, woah...

I thought sufjan stevens is a nerd glasses dude
Guys like this picked on Elliott Smith in high school for being more talented.
Dualistic outlook bro. We're all just trying to get by in this rock n roll world here
Dude what
How much bitterness and delusion exist in you
