Sufjan Stevens: Put The Lights On The Tree

[hunterdesu1]

Oh my god, I love this animation so much. I had totally forgotten about it.

[Everclearfan86]

I love listening to Christmas songs in completely the wrong season.

[letsgetpostal]

sufjan stevens' character looks kind of blazed...

[Blastogy]

This video is really nice. The song makes me feel warm and happy. How many songs on your itunes playlist do that? Kudos Sufjan!

[carrotflowerking1]

got the christmas albums box set, on repeat in the cd playerr for a month.

[luke2thab]

I am open to Sufjan's music 100%. I am a musician who has an open mind to different folk and jazz styles. But this? This is annoying.

[bradenls0]

I'm trying to find a sufjan stevens christmas song to play for my class that all of the hopeless mouth breathers will find not irritating to their stupid ears, this one is a candidate, does anyone have any suggestions please?

[Michaelcerasalias]

After watching this, I'm so ready for Christmas

[Montrealopolis]

We are only able to see the perfection into the simplicity...The perfection is so simple and so impossible... But Sufjan Stevens is the exception

Please come back to Montreal in 2010 !!!

[cristaIIine]

It's so cure, Love This :)

Happy 2010 to everyboby

[pinkasapeach]

does Sufjan have jaundice?

[dreamingsleeping]

I love Sufjan's music and his voice!! He is so talented!!!!

Thank you for making such great music!!

[Myrmelie]

Sufjan's music makes me happy

[xenopheno19]

aww this is cute.

I LOVE YOU SUFJAN.

[AltmmM]

I think it sounds a bit like his song "Hey Guys! It's Christmas time" - I like both songs!

[Raokenx]

Jesus Christ is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[countbleck123]

two words: total perfection

[SoulTassadar]

What christmas stands for I disagree, but I still feel Xmas is a fun holiday for all, good songs :]

[too0many0puppiesx]

Actually,

"The word "Christ" and its compounds, including "Christmas", have been abbreviated in English for at least the past 1,000 years, long before the modern "Xmas" was commonly used. "Christ" was often written as "XP" or "Xt"; there are references in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as far back as AD 1021." "In ancient Christian art, χ and χρ are abbreviations for Christ's name." - wiki

nice attempt at secularization though, sucker!

merry Christmas!!!

love this song!

[atcookie77]

the X stands for christ. always has

[codenamegizmo]

spammer shitface. DONT DISTURB THE SUFJAN!! =)

[calvarycorcaigh]

great news: "Jesus Christ is here"

i bought the boxed set for my wife as a pre-Christmas gift and we've been listening to it nonstop all month. such good music.

[DrinkmoreDarkBeer]

I don't know how Sufjan isn't all over the radio for Christmas

[joekirklin]

I know why - most radio sucks and the people that are making decisions don't know what good music is these days...

[JasonKrueger90]

@joekirklin

you say that cause you're all fuckin' hipsters...

[Gearsdisraeli]

@joekirklin Listening to this, you should know there is no such thing as bad music. Your taste is a bit refined for that, no? Either way, if this music isn't widely accepted, it's for a reason. Show it to those you want to hear it.

[joekirklin]

I know why - most radio sucks and the people that are making decisions don't know what good music is these days...

[SonoraAeroClub]

Damn right! The box set contains at least five or six songs that should become contemporary Christmas classics. Someone needs to take it upon themselves to spread the word!

[suchachum]

maybe she got the idea that he was married from that family portrait in the christmas boxed set, but yea i dont think he is married.

[fossefinguhs]

uhh sufjan isn't married..?

[Morlonic]

The cartoon was spectacular, but perhaps you could have had seven swans pulling the sled, to reference and pay tribute to his "Seven Swans" album. No big deal.

[roxonogueira]

happy happy joy

[lilaygee]

im sad that sufjan is married. hes the only man for me!

[already555]

vine por recomendación de "circulo mixup" (el suplemento comercial de la famosa tienda de discos en mexico)

[Mexicat]

in the U.S. map (01:55), the balloon comes from Pennsylvania... next state?

[lpluss]

It looks to me like it's coming from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, actually. He's from Michigan, so I could imagine his grandma lived/lives there, too. I doubt it's a big clue about his next album, but we'll see...

[danshish]

they all loook stoned lol

[fantora]

i'm obsessed.

[stardestroyr]

Great song, Great video. I'm glad Sufjan stuck to his roots in this song.

[lesbaxter]

cool, but sufjan's orange eyes kinda freaked me out

[jrtrobotdance]

lol me too. it's like Opium Den Sufjan.

[ViewingMonk]

I love this song. And this video. I love Sufjan, in fact.

[WhoaKaela]

aw gramma was crying. poor g ma.

[thoyt]

put the lights on the tree

put the ribbon on the wreath

then go vote re-pub-lican

[rosaboo]

That is very happymaking

[scottwenthe]

I love sufjan, but this song really blows.

[TwoTones]

finally, someone speaks the truth. Sufjan has some great stuff, but this is definitely not it.

[SangnokHigh]

And by truth you mean unadulterated opinion, right?

[ScarsoftheLonely]

its good...but kinda reminds me of schoolhouse rock...

[AnonymousViewer]

That's what I thought too.

[colonelmcdoogle]

Wow... Frankengrandma.

[SUNGLO822]

Very clever. Sufjan and his friends haven't let me down yet!

[plthings]

thank you! love it

[jrtrobotdance]

aw, well that was rather sweet *adds to favorites*

[iamjohnstone]

thats wonderful

[matt0009]

aww..how nice

[jordanrowland]

thank you sufjan for bringing back the real meaning of christmas...

[industryindustry]
