Video credits:
Featuring artwork by Sufjan Stevens

Lyrics:
Can you lift me up to a higher place?
Forget everything that was before
Turn your face around
Like the salted sphere
Turn yourself around
To see what once was there
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises...
Jesus lift me up to a higher plane
Can you come around before I go insane?
Cast me not in hell
Where the demons rage
Turn yourself around
To see what I can save
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises in a word
Everything that rises must converge
Everything that rises....
Turn yourself away
From the wickedness, I said
Evil comes to play
In the image of the dead
Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises in a word
Everything rises, must converge
Everything rises....

All instruments and lead vocal by Sufjan Stevens.

I just love the new weird vibratos he uses on his voice throughout the album. It's one of his greatest works so far!

This one's my favourite. Absolutely incredible.

Really love the texture and soundscapes in this. The blend of analog synths and electronic percussion over the acoustic guitar and vocals is superb.

Masterpiece Hands Down

I have been listening to Sufjan since I first heard “To be alone with you” on an episode of The OC back in what, 2004? Of all the great music that show gave me, nothing has come close to the visceral connection I have had with Sufjan through the years.
Each album comes at different times and seasons in life— at great highs and extreme lows.. and the melodies become, in away, sewn into my mental DNA.
It’s hard to explain, and maybe better left unsaid… but his music cuts me in two, and I’m left with a sense of humility and sadness— but yet still a small candle remains lit with hope.

If you're not familiar with Flannery O'Connor's work, her short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is a great place to start. It was published in 1965, the year after her death. You can get it in several collections through your local library, or even have it read to you here on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83HEGMU_N68
Also, if there's any chance that Sufjan or anyone on his team is reading this: thank you for sharing this album with the world. I've been listening with tears in my eyes. What a beautiful tribute to your partner. I'm sorry for the pain you've gone through and just want you to know you aren't alone. Your artful music and lyrics have meant so much to so many people over the years. I'm just one of them. I'm thankful for you. <3

How could a song be this good. I don’t understand. I don’t think this is humanly possible. When the drums kick in at 1:36 I literally ascend. I’m not here anymore. I go straight to heaven.
