Sufjan Stevens - A Good Man Is Hard To Find

[DuchessAliana]

"Why, you're one of my babies. You're one of my own children!"

[toriabug1994]

LIFE SAVER!!! I have this AP Lit. project on the story this song was written after and I needed a song to fit the story for a video preoject! This is Perfect!!!

[healingv1sion]

woah woah woah wayne is good too; I love both artists; music comes in different forms and you might not like all of them but that doesn't make one type of music better than another.

[21krizchristensen]

Oh I really love artists making a song about some literary works.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find, Flannery O'Connor

[kimberthegiver]

Once in the backyard She was once like me She was once like me Twice when I killed them They were once at peace They were once like me Hold to your gun, man And put off all your peace Put off all the beast Paid a full of these, I wait for it But someone's once like me She was once like me I once was better I put off all my grief I put off all my grief So I go to hell, I wait for it But someone's left me creased Someone's left me creased

[PDeepIn]

@kimberthegiver can you explain it for me ! cause i didn't really understand what this about . =)

[RussellWallaceReagle]

@PDeepIn it's about a short story, google the name, Iforget the author

[frikstobal]

Love this song!

I've been listening it for about a year and can´t stop!

[lalaibsen]

AMAZING SONG!!! one dislike really??? come on :/ He is an amazing singer :)

[MademoiselleChopin]

So I just realised this is actually a retelling (or at least a commentary) of the short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. I am even more impressed with Sufjan Stevens than I was before.

[janxtasaurus]

Reminds me of Elliot Smith a little... Love it. Just heard this for the first time tonight, and I'm sold.

[RussellWallaceReagle]

i cry to every fuckin sufjan song

[peaceroxx]

@RussellWallaceReagle Yeah he's amazing. Can't say I cry to every Sufjan Stevens' song, but I have cried to many. That's what's amazing about Sufjan---his lyrical ability, the versatility in instrumentation and the way he just makes you feel when you listen to music.

[TimothyBarson]

@RussellWallaceReagle lol gay

[iYEMTheGreatest]

@TimothyBarson Why the fuck does that make him "gay", you closet fag??

I'D SAY THAT SHIT IN YOUR FACE, TOO BITCH. Add to that...I AM A FELON.

[rymcmanus]

@iYEMTheGreatest although crying to music isn't gay, you seem to have problems. consider that Sufjan wouldn't approve of such comments on his videos.

[joelitohugs101]

a good song is hard to find....thanks sufjan

[PDeepIn]

Why he's not so famous and the f*cking Lil wayne is famous...F*ck...what a world

[COWLICKPATTIES]

@PDeepIn I dont wanna live on this planet anymore :(

[PDeepIn]

@COWLICKPATTIES neither do i

[RussellWallaceReagle]

@COWLICKPATTIES  Sufjan made me believe in heaven

[pooscifer]

@PDeepIn LOL@comparing sufjan to lil wayne. This is like comparing the dalai lama to Mr.T

[janxtasaurus]

@pooscifer He's not comparing, he's just saying that it's a farce to think that Lil Wayne is famous and not this guy. Meaning that Sufjan is leaps and bounds better and it's a shame that he's going largely unnoticed.

[watcherfacehurtlolol]

@PDeepIn fuckin hipsters did that shit
