‘Javelin’ by Sufjan Stevens, released on CD, LP & Digital October 6, 2023
Director, Producer, Animator, & Editor: Rena Johnson
Featuring artwork by Sufjan Stevens
Lyrics:
If I imagine myself peaceful
On the fire escape
Head first, my hands inside my
T-shirt, as we run away
So now we have a running start
My body moves in mystic ways
I cross my arms to shield my heart
As everything turns into waves
I see the light upon the lake
The silver moon, the water snake
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
Forgotten tales, a wild beast
I know, I know the time has come
To ask you for a kiss
Don’t go, my lovely pantomime
Receive of me my only wish
If I align myself with Pisces
In a funny way
Can you, my lover, kiss my bracelet
And my shoulder blades
We’ve always had a running start
I jump between the trampolines
You throw your arms around my heart
As if to say you’re all I need
The winter pines, the lonely drake
The light beneath the frozen lake
A pair of eyes, a gentle breeze
Forgotten tales, a wild beast
I know, I know the time has come
To ask you for a kiss
Don’t go, my lovely pantomime
Receive of me my only wish
All instruments and lead vocal by Sufjan Stevens.
Additional vocals by Nedelle Torrisi, Megan Lui, and Hannah Cohen.

As someone from the countryside that has been forced to live in a modern city, Sufjan is an open window to the pine and wet grass breezes of my childhood. Thank you and please, get well soon.

I love how this album sounds so much like the older pieces. Such nostalgia. What I would give to have this man spend just a couple private hours with me. I want to pick his brain about so many things. And just stare at Stars
Feel better soon, S. I have severe health issues including the C word and 4 autoimmune illnesses. I understand. Keep fighting. Love you so much

Pray for A speedy recovery.

I love Sufjan so much I once recorded a Sufjan cover a day, posting it to YouTube and calling it "Sufjan Awareness Month." You mean a lot to me buddy — praying for your recovery.

Sufjan, you have been a constant in my life. I've listened to you since I was about 16 years old. I'm 30 now. Your music has carried me through many important stages of my life. You've been my favorite artist ever since I heard "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!". When I had nowhere else to turn, listening to your music helped me heal emotionally. I am forever grateful for your enormous and therapeutic impact on my life.
I feel deeply nostalgic and happy hearing Running Start, So You Are Tired, and Will Anybody Ever Love Me. It reminds me so much of the sounds in Seven Swans and Michigan. Thank you for this beautiful piece. I am so looking forward to hearing the rest of Javelin. I am wishing you a safe recovery from GBS. You are loved. ❤

I am so excited for this new album!
It's been a while since Sufjan has stripped down to this sound and this is by far my favorite Sufjan song-style. More acoustic than the recent Sufjan stuff, beautiful melodies and harmonies. His lyrics are always top notch. Sufjan is a gift that keeps on giving.
