A Girl All of his albums will change you in some way but out of all, Carrie & Lowell hits different. I can’t explain but it always gets me. Never fails.
I'm new to knowing about Sufjan's music and life, both artistically and personally. But I gotta say I heard this song for the 1st time tonight and I've had streams of warm tears flowing down my cheeks as I listened and contemplated the lyrics, colorful progressions & whispery tone of his voice. Finally, my eyes cleared up, but now after listening to "Mystery of Love' and "Visions of Gideon" concurrently I'm...well...here I go again...trying not to sob...though I'm 60 & live alone (with my tomcat, Noubie...typical...where is he when I need him!?)
"I will bow down (Dido’s lament)" If you don't know what Dido's Lament is, it's an opera aria from the opera "Dido and Aneus," also titled "When I am Laid in Earth." Jessye Norman's rendition of it is truly moving, and it makes this particular song beautiful an an entirely level of sadness.
Jeremy Seip Hey, buddy! Absolutely so ready. So ready. Did you get my message? I use my phone a lot so a lot of g+ messages don't go through somehow?! If you have, you can send those tunes my way anytime. No hurry of you're busy. If not, look at my RUclips profile "about" section. My email is in there so that would likely be a better way. Let me know & it's great talking again, man! I'll have more time here soon & maybe we can exchange some tracks, etc. But, yeah, I can't wait lol. I'll be with 2 others now but maybe it'd be cool to say "hey" or something there? Should be a great show. Take care for now!
Jeremy Seip Just got back. Fuggin amazing but didn't get a chance to chat a bit. Either way, it's not creepy. Not at all. Like I said, email me whenever. Hope you enjoyed it. Peace.
Jeremy Seip Agree! That was apesh*t crazy awesome! LOL It just kept going & building & building & the light show was so well done by not overdoing it but making it add to tracks. Great show! Glad you enjoyed it, too.

I can't stop listening to the LP.. oh how I try but it just continues to draw me back in. One of the best albums I've heard in a long time. The ambient, floating sounds that ends tracks, 1,2,4,8 and 11 is a wonderful, relevant thread in the fabric of these beautiful songs.
It is a bit odd now that you mention it. It's almost 2020 and views at 1,736,000 & only 4.4K Likes...I think that's only 25 out of 1000 peeps who listened to this beautiful moving tune actually liked it, or were motivated to rate it w a click...or maybe/probably H Tran (below) is right - it's the same people listening over & over(!) I'm very new to Sufjan's music, but what attracts me is his colorful chord progressions, akin to the Impressionist movement started in the late 19th century, and the combination of his lyrics & whisper-like singing voice: beautiful!
This is the only song on the album that I really don't understand :(.. Can someone explain this one to me? Amazing album, never heard of this guy before but now I see that this was worth the shot..
My favourite album of 2015 so far. Only marginally better than Father John Misty's I Love You, Honeybear. But that's saying something, since they're both near-perfect albums.
Personally, I think there are plenty of artist who's albums are competing with this one including Kendrick Lamar, Björk, Courtney Barnett, Jamie xx, J Tillman, Vince Staples, Kamasi Washington, Young Fathers, Blur, Florence and the Machine, Death Grips, and FKA Twigs.
I was on the WatchMojo account and deadmau5 said Kanye West was on piratebay illegally downloading this music, so I decided to listen to this to see what the hell it was.

I just want to run until I am lost in the woods and then I just want to live life with no shoes.
The exact same thought came into my head
Then go with no shoes, you don't need them, you don't need lots of things, go now, run, do it now!! It's a beautiful thought!...

His mother :/ She died in 2012
Yeah, probably none of your business tho...
She was proud of his work during her lifetime.
@@charlesisgone that is true.
Oh, you know, it's only the best album of the last five years.
CouveTJ Incredible album, but I would't even consider it the best of 2015.
No. Top 10...probably.

"A Moon Shaped Pool", "Bon Iver, Bon Iver", etc. would like a word with you...
AtlanticSpamHammer For Emma and 22 A Million are both better than Bon Iver, Bon Iver. And A Moon Shaped Pool came out after he made this comment.
This album will shiver you (No matter when you read this).
October 2nd 2016 this album changed my life.
June 2018, sufjan changed my entire outlook on religion. Everything I once knew is changing.
I was literally shivering when the song started and then I saw your comment.

The visual image is the mural of Opal Whiteley in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

Ain't it so.

Wow you're so lucky

Carrie and Lowell
Such a long time ago
Like a dead horse
Meadowlark drive your arrow
Season of hope (after the flood)
Valentine, spurn my sorrow
Head on the floorboards (covered in blood)
Drunk as a horsefly
Climb on the mattress pad
Twist my arm
Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage Grove shade invite me
I will bow down (Dido's lament)
Lord of the ancient waters
From the backyard (as far as she went)
Carrie surprised me
Erebus on my back
My lucky charm
Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children's fever
Carrie, come home (Thorazine's friend)
Holding your hands with opal
Like a dead horse (shall we ascend)
Flight of the mayfly
Ephemera on my back
She breaks my arm

damn right!!!!!!!!!!
The chorus at the end never fails to bring a smile to my face. It is my happy place.
I absolutely love when the banjo kicks in at about 1:40, it complements the track so well!!!
An album that anyone claiming to profess a love for music should own. Astonishing.
This album is all I want to listen to. Forever.
I'm speechless...one of the best album of these last years, so far...
Great song.
Shades of Scarborough Fair/Canticle.
A true artist. Pure poetry.
The best album about life, death and memory since Lou Reed's "Magic and Loss"
"Hospice" by The Antlers came out in 2009. Best album about death and loss of all time, in my opinion. Check it out.
Ok. I've only heard 1 song by that band but I did love it.
Logan Wendt I didn't like Hospice, their other album with "No Widows" is much better
@@loganwendt778 I heard "Hospice" and loved it, But not sure if I'd place it above this tbh

Paul Simon beautiful and heartfelt! masterful!
presente em quase toda lista dos melhores do anos. realmente tem uma sonoridade aconchegante...

Feliz por conhecer o sufjan, eu precisava de músicas boas como essas. A voz dele me faz relaxar, é linda demais!
Sufjan Stevens, uno de los autores más sensibles sin ser sensiblero.
Thank you sinb for posting this song, I really like this one
i can't help feel so bad for lowell, good thing they were together at the end.
beautiful music. like it alot!!!!!
For a second I thought I was listening to Simon and Garfunkel.
WHAT
the songs give me goosebumps...:)
Last album i heard compared to this awesomeness was Mac's Salad days..
Am really glad to have listened to this..
Swapnil Jain Salad Days easily in top 10 for 2014. This one is certainly going to be one of 2015's best.
brilliant.
That last part took me somewhere
This album is jus bliss!!!
This goddamn song omfg
thank u for putting a sound to the feeling sufjan
Enchanting
C'est le plus beau et c'est le plus triste paysage du monde.

Best song on the album.
this mural is at the concretepark in my hometown. its beautiful.
wonderful as always Sufjan
Rob, that was lovely- thanks for sharing this.
a pa ti bon sa bon👏👏👏👏
How lovely!
Around 1:42 reminds me so much of PJ Harvey's 'White Chalk"
Perfect song.
Just gonna say it.... Simon & Garfunkle-esque. Obviously Sujan has his own sound, but I can't help but hearing a little of them in this album.
This is the comment I was looking for!! :D
Yes agreed
2:03-2:18
This part makes me transcend
Thanks Ye

Sufjan saying three four at the very beginning ❤
2:18-3:12 is literally heaven
