All The Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands - Sufjan

Firstly, what a great name for a song!
Secondly, what a wonderful image!
Thirdly, check out Sufjan Steven's original.. stunning!
Fourthly, the lyrics:

If I am alive this time next year
Will I have arrived in time to share?
and Mine is about as good this far
and I'm still applied to what you are
And I am joining all my thoughts to you
And I'm preparing every part for you

I heard from the trees a great parade
And I heard from the hills a band was made
Will I be invited to the sound?
Will I be a part of what you've made?
And I am throwing all my thoughts away
And I'm destroying every bet I've made
And I am joining all my thoughts to you
And I'm preparing every part for you

Fifthly: Isaiah 55:12.

"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands."

Sixthly: Is this the greatest opening line to a song ever? "If I am alive this time next year
Will I have arrived in time to share?"
Seventhly: Happy Halloween
Eighthly: Bye!! :)

Hey another Iron & Wine fan! Great call, very similar. You should also check out Angus & Julia Stone. I first heard Sufjan Stevens on the series Weeds. Also featured on there is Great Lake Swimmers, which you may like also. :)

the greatest opening line to a song is "I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be your lover". House of Cards-Radiohead

[joeburton77]

I also like "you want me, then fucking well come and find me. I'll be waiting, with a gun and a pack of sandwiches." - also radiohead! :)

Beautiful job with this - Stevens' style makes me think of Iron and Wine and bit. I really love this song.
