Is this a religious song?

This is painfully beautiful.

@ikuda92 Through the mind of Sufjan Stevens?
-
He is very influenced by God, obviously. I get this feeling when I listen to his music that he's from a religious backgroung...but some of the stories he tells about his past make it seem as though he was sort of a wandering teenager.

@johnsonyourfired I'm not saying all songs are about God, it goes deeper than that. it has nothing to do with interpretation. it has to do with the origin of the human spirit, and the fact that if it is creative at all, it is because it has something (albeit a very small part) of the Creator in it. (gen 2:7)
you can't detach God from anything because He's the reason everything exists. just because it's not an obvious, explicit relation doesn't mean there is no relation.

Why did the Coexist comment get counted as spam? I thought it was appropriate.

@murielglass No. I'm very religious. I can "detach" god from anything I want. I have composed multiple songs, written billions of poems, and not one about god. It's completely jaded and silly to think that this song can only be interpreted one way and one way only. For all we know, this song could be about rubber duckies. The only person who knows the meaning and story behind every single line in this song is Sufjan.

@johnsonyourfired when you know God, He permeates everything you do. you can't detach it from anything you do.. especially something so intimate, as art. the Spirit God blew into us is the very reason art even exists at all.

I think the reason why even an atheist can appreciate music that talks about god is that its not about loving god, its about loving something bigger than you that you can be a part of. Its the spirituality of it.
