Lyrics:
As if you know the story of Wallowa Lake:
Leviathan first hid in the deep where her children sleep
She kept them hidden from the plague
But have you heard the story of my mother’s fate?
She left us in Detroit in the rain with a pillow case
Fortune for the paper weight
We followed her to Joseph, near the Indian raid
She wept among the weeds, hide and seek, for the fallen chief
Spathiphyllum on his grave
And like the cedar wax wing, she was drunk all day
We put her in the sheet, little wreath, candles on the crate
As the monster showed its face
As she waits for her children in the shade
Demogorgon or demigod the ghost parade
No oblation will bring her back to our place
She stayed within the deep end of Wallowa Lake
The undertow refrained with the flame of a feathered snake
Charybdis in its shallow grave
She gave us one last feature: the fullness of her face
In the shade of “Hin-mah-too-yah…” (Red Napoleon)
As the demon took her place
As we wait for the waters to reside
Her remarkable stoicism and her pride
When the dragon submerged we knew she had died

SO many people listening to Sufjan and crying- he's the country's honorary grief counselor.

I pity anyone who has never listened to Sufjan.

No greater example of musical flexing than calling a track this good an "outtake"

For me, this is the most amazing song Sufjan has ever shared with the world in his beautiful career.
I can barely explain what I feel, especially during the last section of the song. It's like I'm smoothly drowning into a peaceful oblivion.

This song is like the final whisper of Carrie and Lowell. Like the last word before it has to be put to bed for good. What more can Sufjan say he certainly poured his heart about it all.

Dear Sufjan: you are never allowed to leave us. Signed, your affectionate co-dependent sycophant.

This dude is unbelievable.

I cry, but smile, but also cry and smile to Surfman's music like a little bitch.
Hold me.

The lyrics of this song make me think of a family losing their mother to alcoholism. Additionally, it is sung very beautifully.

Good God, the last three minutes of this track are unreal. So haunting. I’m taken to another realm.

The most beautiful voice I ve heard. I adore this artist I don't think I am wrong in saying that he is a beautiful person, I really feel connected with Sufjan. I've attended so many concerts, so found of so many music styles, but when I saw Sufjan on stage both in France where I come from and in Dublin where I live, I really feel he was welcoming us at home. So cosy, funny yet magical atmosphere. It makes me shiver anytime I listen to him,. Sometimes I feel nostalgic in a beautiful way listening to his songs, yet I never feel alone as I have the feeling to be with a spiritual, kindly friend. I feel so happy. I even suffered panic attacks following a trauma for a while, and listening to Sufjan was always the soothing way to chill down. I just wish him the best in his life, he is giving so much to many of us, I wish he realises the impact he has on turning our lives better, isn't it the most beautiful goal to achieve to make someone happy?

the music of sufjan stevens accompanies me since i'm 16. it touched me deeply and helped me out of some very deep valley's. i'm 30 now, my musical taste has gotten wider, a lot of artists came and went, but sufjan stevens stays. i keep being amazed by his music, old and new and i am grateful to incorporate such beauty into my life.

this is literally just a sonic fusion of age of adz and carrie and lowell lol

The Greatest Gift is Sufjan Stevens himself. An angel in our midst, singing to God for all of us.

more proof that carrie & lowell could've been his "oregon" album
48 |
this song makes me feel nostalgia for things i have not experienced
37 |
Why god, why????
Sufjan is so underrated why?????
His songs are like poetry. You listen one and next and next and you keep on listening
plug in your earphones and you will find yourself in a different zone...
Overwhelmed!

I feel like no other song has ever captured the level of awe I felt for my mother as a child. I loved and feared her in equal measure, and all I wanted was to be with her. Then as I grew I started to see her illness, and began to understand what was happening more and more. It was kind of like watching the end of some great mythical creature playing out on a scale so much larger than my world seemed able to contain.
