Sufjan Stevens - All the Trees of the Field will clap their Hands

[birdyyyful]

I dated Suf's brother. I went to his high school as well and he came to visit one day.

[Aznar245]

To Trini and Seferino.. I miss you both greatly!

[MrPwnage311]

New favorite song.

[70437173]

this reminds me of all the good times I had with an old friend who loved Sufjan Stevens, great feeling this music gives me.

[fendersbender2]

it makes me want to ball my fucking eyes out

[oliveangekms]

this was on Weeds? fuck that

[IevaGelz]

"Before I die"...

[Hortonhearsawho21]

@IevaGelz just finished reading that book, jeez it makes me cry every time :/

[shaneous100]

Driving Lessons!!!

[Eis4EthAndEthanisMe]

Heard this on Nip/Tuck :)

I became a fan after hearing "Chicago"

[GenieBella]

I also heard about this song from "Before I Die".

[TheIndiefilmlover923]

@Juicyzoo

That's why I said 'his music', not 'this song'

[KleeneChaostantin]

Ich hab das Lied aus einem Buch "Bevor ich sterbe" einfach wunderschön und verdammt Traurig. Im Buch will Sie (Tessa) dass das Lied auf ihrer Beerdigung gespielt wird..

Wunderschön und doch zugleich verdammt Traurig das Lied.

[MsMoonSilk]

@KleeneChaostantin ich bin auch seshalb hier :) Jetzt hab ich noch ein besseres bild von ihrer vorstellung ihrer beerdigung.

[jerseydevilxx]

I would like this song played at my own funeral...

[lucindadap]

before I die.

[dreamtiger2]

Seven people are dead inside...

[Jawbreaker871]

I love the authenticity and the folk-feel of his music.

[MisterSnarkle]

I want to curl up in this music.

[judiciousmirovia]

aahhhh nice!

[MockingbirdSoldier]

in "Before I Die" Tessa wirtes his father that she wants this song to play on her furneral. I finsihed the book now and it's so sad to listen to this song and think about it :((

[suitieffeotto]

@MockingbirdSoldier

i found this song for the same reason :(

[windinhishair10]

@MockingbirdSoldier This is why Im here.

[undertakr]

@MockingbirdSoldier i found the book through this youtube comment. that is one dynamite book.

[firesinged]

This is crazy; I just realized that at least 10 of Sufjan's songs are my all time favorites.

[butterflieznbubblez]

weeds AND Nip/Tuck!

[as1antac0man]

@peoplez74 This song reminds me of Coraline too! I wonder if this is that song.

[LDixon007]

@as1antac0man - The 5th track from the Coraline soundtrack has a sharply-plucked harp (making it sound like a banjo) + singing, and it does sound like this song.

[indiefilmlover923]

the first time i heard his music was in the film "Little miss sunshine" and then Driving Lessons" and his music is abosolutely beautiful

[JuicyZoo]

@indiefilmlover923 I don't think little miss sunshine ever used this song,chicago you mean？

[peoplez74]

why do i remember a song similar like this similar in Coraline ?

[Sibra3libra]

This song has made me cry on several occasions, just out of nowhere.

It's beauty is too much for me. 

[wpforever]

wow this is hauntingly beautiful

[fillXinXblankXstares]

This makes me want to drive forever on a country road at sunrise.

[Sensoriq]

@fillXinXblankXstares I couldn't say it any better :)

[slip670]

just watched the weeds episode with this song!! <3

[Samfoote]

GET SOME BQE ALL UP IN YA

[MrNottheword]

So sweet. @melissa_shawyer have a watch.

[skater1on1]

take 3 hits from the bong and a vodka on ice ..... then tell me what u think of this song

[juicebox30961]

Driving Lessons



[BeFirstnotWorst]

This is one of the most beautiful songs, I have ever heard! :')

[dellira]

i live near a field and i can hear the trees clap their hundrets of hands right now. just beauty

[BloodyHandss]

Driving Lessons brought me here

[Lilly3119]

[GarretsSmexyChick110]

I lay down and listen to this when I feel sad... <3

[ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy]

Who is Tessa?

[Lubig2]

@ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy

"Befor I die" by Jenny Downham

a wonderful book

[Lubig2]

@ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy

"Bevor I die" by Jenny Downham

a wonderful book

[ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy]

@Lubig2 thanks, did this song reference the book?

[Lubig2]

@ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy

Tessa is a teenagegirl who ist dieing by leukemie

she makes a list for her father, how to make the funeral

there she names songs who should be played - one of them ist these

(sorry, my english isn´t very good)

[ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy]

@Lubig2 Thanks for taking the time to respond to me. It's astonishing how nice people can be on youtube.

[Lubig2]

@ROFLCOPTERsoysoysoy

you are welcome :)

[GermanTechTutorials]

Weeds <3

[Cla900]

i wish tessa were real.

felt very connected to her and we have a lot in common

thanks to jenny downing for introducing me to this song :)

before i die is the best book i've ever read and it will be a favourite of mine till the day i die!

[mattsthepainter]

Jesus is Lord

[Rememoration]

This song is absolutely beautiful. The way it's arranged , everything it's perfect. So enchanting, compelling. Sufjan Stevens is an amazing Artist.

[debbiepelbry]

Jordansparrow- lol yeah but I try to not fill my mind with it

[debbiepelbry]

Omggabypwnzyou- huh I thought I was the only one that noticed. The book was way better than the movie :p

[carrots667]

hear this song in the closing credits of season 1 ep 2 of weeds :)

[omggabypwnzyou]

The "da da da da da" part reminds me of Coraline.

[debbiepelbry]

Kajaindal: Before I Die is the name of the book. However, I stopped reading it because it has premarital sex in it. Just to forewarn you if that matters to you. :)

[jordansparrow]

@debbiepelbry That is priceless. Not reading about it doesn't make it go away.

[Kajaindal]

what book?

[MsJuhu123]

I love the book, and I searched the songs, I never thoght I would find them....

[GarretsSmexyChick110]

THE MOVIE DRIVING LESSONS, FTW! :D

[PaulineParanoid]

I love this song so much, i want to play this on my funeral, too !

[TerryLudden]

Doug Wilson is cool

[laylaPazienza]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds

[DieBlondeChillerin]

I love this Song ;)

[AirlockMinibus]

whoop

[BeEpic247]

Good Stuff.

[rymac171]

Weeds has a great soundtrack and brought me here. Who knew a show about a pot dealing soccer mom would be so good.

[BradPierce89]

Weeds.

[TheMuellerFan]

Yes, Tessa wants this song in the book 'Before I die'.

I read it and I'm just where they are the songs for the

Funeral chooses.

(Did I say it right? My English is not perfect)

[thefinnlord]

@TheMuellerFan I think you mean "Tessa wants the song to play at her funeral. I read it and I agree, I want the same songs at my funeral as she does at her funeral."

Also, this song is amazing. And no, your English isn't perfect. Neither is mine.

[termite4734]

I used to need medication to calm me down. Now I just slap on a song by Sufjan and I'm pretty much good for the day.

[EclipseStrife]

@termite4734 The Gov wants you to be medicated and not listen to quality music like this to set us free!!

[SkateMentallity]

@EclipseStrife Shut the fuck up, hippie.

[EclipseStrife]

@SkateMentallity When they come you will remember what I said. Even if you don't believe now, you dont have to, its happening around you friend.

[spacemanspiff9393]

@termite4734 > Now I just slap on a song by Sufjan

> Slap on a song

> Slap

That verb confuses me.

[laceythepoon]

@spacemanspiff9393 you must be american..... its an english phrase *sigh* 

[loserbiotch2]

what a beautiful progression my god. So melodic and calming.

[joeyallen2108]

Simply beautiful... His songs so inspire me to be a better person...

[babeondrums]

Thumbs up if the movie "Driving Lesson"s introduced you to some great music :D

[ITipCowsWorldWide]

@babeondrums Weeds brought me here.

[therealalgerian]

damn right about now iwas thinking about hating and revenging oh my god ,now iam thinking in love and peace .

[JIPALIG]

I love this song. I love the message, i love the melody. I love that i can almost hear the choir of angels singing along with it, and i Love that someday in heaven I will be singing this.

[INTERPOLFAN17]

WEEDS

[ladymadonnasdaughter]

@INTERPOLFAN17 weeds are just wild flowers growing in the wrong place

[INTERPOLFAN17]

@ladymadonnasdaughter that was funny.

[pooscifer]

@INTERPOLFAN17 I watched the first couple episodes in S1, then I forgot about it. But its ending credits introduced me to Sufjan and I haven't been able to get enough of him for over a year

[INTERPOLFAN17]

@pooscifer his music is great.

[pooscifer]

@INTERPOLFAN17 Seven Swans was the first album I heard by him, and I think it will always be my favourite. Have you heard A Sun Came? It's so good but so different, it's surprising as hell that he'd write something like it.

[TheLynnBasketball]

I just read Before I die and search for the funeral songs and this is the best of all!

So relaxing, just beautiful.

[clairabelle23]

ha , yes - i looked this up cos i just finished 'Before I Die' - i love it when one thing leads to another - two great discoveries in 2 days !!!!!!

[jellywizardofgms]

favorite sufjan song

[lovingit289]

this song is so amazing and thank you for having a good vid up please keep it!!aha

[LottiLunatic]

love this song (:

I don't know, why but it reminds me a little bit of the oc. :D

[wonghamma]

@LottiLunatic one song by sufjan was actually featured on the oc: to be alone with you :) but you're right, his music matches the show really well

[zuss10]

great son man ! really

i love this song much

i heared it 1st time in Nip/Tuck and i love it ever since

thank u so much and thank u greatlly

[Wixxina]

Sufjan Stevens always reminds me of Johnny's funeral in OC and if I should die someone should play his songs on my funeral.

[RosesOnMyGrave211]

@Wixxina

Yes, on my too please :)

Reminds me of the same O.C part :)

[MrsEvy8]

i also finished reading this book, before i die. Its amazing and sad ♥ and this song is really nice

[allendupras]

Joining all my thoughts to YOU!!!!!! JESUS!!!!

[isma1689]

[Colour332]

I love this song its so beatiful ♥

[Megarobba]

I was looking for this song 'cause I've just finished reading "Before I Die"

and...now I'm speechless=)

Meg from Italy

[MiChiamoVick]

@Megarobba Compatriota! Vedo di non essere l'unica ad aver letto quel così bel libro :) 

[jennayy951]

this song fits the book Before I Die very well...

[spaceburgers]

this song makes me want it to rain

[Lacey2377]

I'm tempted to read this "Before I die" book everybody keeps talking about. Just the fact that is has references to this song makes it great already.

[MsNenaFreak]

I read, a lot of times, Before I die too!

it's one of my favourite book, Tessa is so strong

[Kekzilein]

Wow :D How everybody here bought this book :) I read it too :D I think's it's very different to other books and I nearly cried D: Okay..yes i cried xD

[ILoveMyHorse23]

@uhmmitsjustme

Oh yes,you're SO RIGHT =D

I love this book!! x33

But I'm so sad about Tessa's die =(

till the end I had hope,that she will live!But then she die =*(

The song fits so well with the book

[CaroMagLena]

Before I Die, yes rhe book ist very great. I love it.

[systemqueen226]

[dabodehe]

I've read the same book, the Dutch version... That's the reason I looked up this song... It's sad.

[likereallybored2]

one of the best books i've read

[lovingit289]

obsessed ever since i saw it on weeds<3

[HectorHappy]

@SkateMentallity damn, that's deep. goodluck sir

[SkateMentallity]

As soon as this song started playing, my heart started hurting. Yesterday was my last day of highschool, and for some bizzare reason I didn't realize it until 20 seconds ago, when this song began. My life seems to stretch endlessly down the cobblestone road of my contience. Wish me luck.

[alicemomalice22]

I love this fucking song

[LoOolLiieH]

Bevor ich sterbe ist ein wundervolles Buch. ♥

[trixy9]

Before I Die, great book...

Tessa wanted this to play on her funeral... :)

[xrobbeyx]

@trixy9

so sad!

[carinchen22]

@trixy9 I agree, the book was really good!

[justaGirl216]

@trixy9 Haha, that means I'm not the only one who thought: I'm going to listen to the songs of Tessa's funeral. XD

Listen to plainsong by the cure. Imagine Tessa comes in her coffin with 6 men carrying her included her dad. Creepy.

[neko8907]

@justaGirl216 Yes you're not the only one ! : )

This song is beautiful and i imagine Tessa too.

It's horrible.

I love this book so much,it changes my idea about the cancer.

[shelbyandbrandy]

@trixy9 i just read the book and had to look up all her songs...

[PJonlee]

@trixy9 Just NOW I finished the book. (:

[ILoveMyHorse23]

@trixy9

You read it,too?Wow,I have finished reading it today =D

Because of this song,I have searched this song.

I love this book. =D

But it is SO sad =*(

[deathcourse]

[JulieJustNotFamous]

[SOADluvr98]

[PureBeing84]

[delltardboy]

[sm0kd0g]

[sm0kd0g]
