This song always reminds me of the book "Before I Die"



[xdd487]

I really like him and I'm proud as pollack. :)

dziękuję panie Sufjanie

[rigsalot1999]

This song is so sad but i can never stop listening to it.

[musfutmuj]

Such a beautiful song. This song has been on my last two months, since I´ve downloaded this album, pretty nice also. But there´s certain kind of....I don´t know the actual word in english, but my god, what I´m trying to say is that this song has captivated me, the lyrics are amazing. The music is like the harmonies I guess i could find if only the paradise exists. I love this album. But more than the album I love this song.

[VIRGINIAB0RNANDBRED]

@musfutmuj don't worry, we feel you.

[VIRGINIAB0RNANDBRED]

@musfutmuj don't worry, we feel you.

Pure Bliss. Nothing Will Ever Compare.

[southstar66]

its so pleasant

[samwisemcganji]

I am a massive iron and wine fan. I love his new stuff but it doesn't have the sound that I originally got into, this does. Excellent

[purphse]

@samwisemcganji Sufjan is not a part of Iron and WIne. You're confusing him with Sam Beam. Both are great though!

[samwisemcganji]

@purphse I know this. What I was saying is that I miss the old Iron and Wine sound. Sufjan Stevens has a very similar sound to the first 2 Iron and Wine albums, hence I am really liking this.

[theindependentreview]

My God, I've listened to this guy for years and hearing this song, it's still like the first time.

[poopism]

[DoctorWorm01]

@thenfm Representing real men. You're doing it wrong.

[thenfm]

@DoctorWorm01 take your mom's cock out of ur mouth so u make more sense dumb faggot.

[DoctorWorm01]

@thenfm >"mom's cock"

And I'm the dumb one? Either you're an ignorant fuck or you're a pretty bad troll. Either way, good luck in life

[jettricks1989]

@thenfm Fuck you dude. This song rules ass.

[heyitsmiLi]

i just googled the lyrics. wow, what a beautiful song!! <3

[Rabooie]

I feel like crying.

[berriesandcream33]

The line that always gives me chills (and gives me the strange urge to start the song all over again because it's so beautiful) is, "in the morning, when you finally go / and the nurse runs in with her head hung low / and the cardinal hits the window." I honestly believe this is Sufjan's best song.

[VIRGINIAB0RNANDBRED]

@berriesandcream33 I don't think I've ever skipped this song on shuffle, you just can't.

[Mar9595]

More people should hear this song, it's so amazing!

[Mar9595]

My favorite song ever

[sweetlittledemongirl]

This song breaks my heart in the nicest of ways...it's the only song that brings up terrible memories in such a way that it doesn't make me want to forget them...Sufjan is amazingly talented

[Superman1753]

I just found out that a family friend, who was a police officer died today. He got into a car accident on the freeway. I'm so shocked and crying right now, and it's just sickly ironic that he was a devout Christian as well as the rest of his family. We're never safe, no matter what we do in life. We just have to trust in Him and hope for the best. But it's so messed up at the same time. He takes and He takes and He takes.......

[stillnotlovinnpolice]

@Superman1753 sorry for your loss, but im curious why you mentioned he was a police officer. its just kind of ironic because police officers take away peoples lives whether its killing them by the gun ( i've lost a bother to police brutality and i best friend) or putting them away in jail. again, im sorry for your loss, but i was wondering why you mentioned that he was a police officer

[Superman1753]

@stillnotlovinnpolice I mentioned it because that's what he was. A very honorable one at that. I'd be disgracing his memory if I didn't mention it. He was a great man and loved what he did and was very respectable among his friends and co-workers. I know that there are bad police officers out there, the ones who act out irrationally and engage in unneccesary brutality in some cases (I'm very very sorry 4 your loss btw) but not all of them are that way. Don't blend the good cops with the bad.

[emmabringsthehappy]

fricken amazing song. gorgeous.

[VictorWB1]

one of the best (and longest) albums ive EVER had the pleasure of listening to

[GustavKunoe]

This song is so touching

[MrLeviathankyou]

Best damn song I've ever heard in my life. I love a lot of music, but this really brings the soul and sincerity that I miss in so much else.

[MrPatoo123]

this song brings mermories back too me like when i went to hawaii ohau

[peteyhook]

@MrPatoo123 :) whered you go to? I lived there most of my life

[unavailablemyass]

the lyrics seem reminiscent of a walk to remember :/

[Theseventhknight]

This is probably the saddest song there is. 

[louisaruth]

I remember getting Casimir Pulaski Day off back way back when... I was little and my mom explained who he was...

[Corinajanelle]

This is why I love Sufjan. There is so much beauty despite the pain and sadness. It opens a window and shows human weakness. It speaks of how limited we are and of what little our minds are capable of understanding about life and death and heaven. There is so much to be said about an artist who can tell a story in this way.

[MrGetrad]

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day

[motifontheback]

im performing this song tonight at a local open stage event & i came here to listen to it since i actually havent heard the original version in a while. now that i do hear it, i have no idea how i'm gonna keep it together up on stage, this is too damned much :[

[xxvlc]

I like how this song is not another sad song about death. It's honest. Its sadness, but its beautiful too. Memories and happiness, and nostalgia. A beautiful tragedy.

[dolfan55aj]

Every time you listen to a great new song you think it may be your favorite song ever.  The truth is that no matter what I hear, whenever I listen to this one, my heart reminds me that this is the one.

[TimmDiesel]

One dislike.... Poor Casimir

[netforce0]

@TimmDiesel its so good that someone had to dislike it to make sure it wasn't a dream

[ysoxcited]

haha so glad i know this song its such a privalage

[ncDancer13]

one of my favorite songs. I can just listen and relax. :)

[davidgk100]

just stumbled across sufjan! and he is soooooooooooooooo, so good!

[HOMExSKILLET]

how come they changed it in the itunes buy from superman to baloons

[elara55]

Copyright issues, the people who one the rights to Superman did not give permission for the image to appear on the album therefore all CDS had to be covered with the balloons.

[merola1024]

@HOMExSKILLET because Superman is under copyright by DC comics.
