[vata927]

so pretty

[edielover]

ai jeit mister decar

lovely song

[BKbmxer]

hes a revolution.

[mehascrayon]

sufjan is an incredible artist for many reasons. he plays almost every single instrument ever invented. also, he writes about what he feels. not about what the world wants to hear or what the world thinks. he sings about his life and everything in his head. that's a true artist. artists nowaday should be taking notes from sufjan.

[potatochip1]

you people suck

[kaisergwill]

this song isn't about religion. its about being in love with a girl that died of cancer and he uses christianity to help convey this.

-Stop making Christianity the centre of attention... it's not

-and don't be rude about christianity and other peoples beliefs

[whiskybones]

Actually, most of Sufjan's songs are based on his strong religious background.

It's funny how people get upset when someone else interprets a piece of music differently than them.

[kaisergwill]

sorry whiskybones, you sound cool. I wasn't being irritable because other people think differently or at christian people. I know, I just got Michigan. Is Sufjan the coolest guy alive - i think we know he is.

kisses, GWILHELM

[chordination]

He thinks hes singing about god but is really the wonders of nature

[Tessabearsnozzleman]

I love Sufjan so much, he is amazing cos he can sing sad songs but they are happy at the same time. Also he isn't EMO so there is no mention of cutting ya wrist or suicide in them

[indispencible]

sufjan came to austin!? I cant believe I missed this!

[indispencible]

Sufjan came to austin!? Oh god I can't believe I missed that

[bubbathepurple]

um maybe because depression is not a good thing, and im sure sufjan stevens doesn't want a song to depress you. music has gone so far in these days from being a lifter, an encouragement to what you see as the norm today, if you look at music's history that is.

[bubbathepurple]

this is truly a serious time we're living for someone to say "someone has tapped into something much bigger than a made-up god" nothing this man has done is anywhere close to the inerrant word of God not even a hair. im sorry.

[4tacoss]

Damn!!! i luv this song soooooo much :D

[askno1]

Sufjan is sooo amazing. I love his music so much.

[kinggroucho]

has nothing to do with the holy spirit. dude's a real artist. he's tapped into something much bigger than a made-up god :).

[stylofone]

Melodies, harmonies and lyrics I said I admire. What you said I consider to be a fairy tale.

[nicfallenpants]

well, i love that fairy

[gambrosino]

This guy sucks. Fairy songs with lyrics that a 10 year old could produce.

[rdsrae]

lyrics that a 10 year old could produce. haha. you must be a moron.

[ILoveMyHair2]

You guys don't mark him down he's replying to gambrosino!!!

[seasonpoem]

wow

if youd actually listened to the lyrics they are about a death of a girl he was close with

only a true moron could be so shallow and not appreciate that

[supradude7891]

sorry you feel that way. its a shame you cant enjoy this beautiful music.

[ikbentombrouwer]

@jgates you're right, just like Cedric Bixler-Zavala said. Every person has his own interpretation. Those can even be better than the intended one. thats the good thing about art

[DicklessPete]

When I want to listen to someone who is so religious its borderline creepy I usually go Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam.I just think the music is better ....

and it is a wild world.

[stylofone]

I do not believe in god, I despise religion, it's atheism all the way for me! BUT Sufjan's melodies and harmonies and lyrics just bowl me over, this song included.

[saiddance]

I agree.

[staircutter]

WHO THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS????? WINGS???? LAMMEEEEE!!! Seriously, this guy blows. He's 95% hype, 5% pedophile, and the music is blander and limper than a dick covered in saltine crackers.

[orangensaft74]

Honestly, you are that much of a low life?

[ILoveMyHair2]

And your a retard who will never get anywhere! Who still thinks the word dick is cool

[b0wchickaw0ww0w]

i don't think that's right to call sufjan a god... that's like... ironic since he's a christian

[saiddance]

Sufjan Stevens is one of my favorite artists ever. I need to see this god LIVE.

[2klarity]

I'm gonna need to buy a whole box of tissues after listening to this song. I've never listened to it without crying at some point.

[rockerpixie]

i love this song!

[alabastad001]

this song is so depressing

[norfamericana]

if you think this is depressing - you dont get it - "it" being life

[booyasals]

you are so fuckin' deep

[jeffcrouch]

you just made me rethink my whole existence....lawl.

[jgates9]

if u think that they dont get it then u are incredibly narrow-minded. Music is art and is interpreted a lot of different ways. If they find the song depressing then thats ok, not everyone analyzes music from the point of view of the artist. And last time i checked life was far too complicated to be summed up in a song.

[g9o9l9y]

looooovely!!

[thestreetparade]

my god i love this man. i must have been sitting like right next to the person filming this cause this was like my EXACT view....hands down the most amazing concert ever

[kashimori]

Oh my god, they're wearing wings. That is so adorable.
