  • whether someone gets their inspiration for writing music from a lost love, a place in time, memory or some form of omniscient being it doesn't matter. I think all that matters in the case of music such as Sufjan Stevens is that it is sincere. You bring what he says to your own context. Really how many people know exactly what their favourite song was written about. You hardly ever will, you love it because of what you bring to it, your own meaning.

  • There doesn't have to be one true interpretation. Just because you assume the song holds a certain meaning doesn't mean everyone else comes to the same conclusion-- let them draw away what they want from the song.

  • Well done!

  • @emmskaa thats RACIST and i HATE racists!!! Why is everyone so RACIST??????

  • @emmskaa heeheehee

  • im a big four eyed lamo, and i wear the same stoopid sweater every day...

  • seriuosly if youre just gonna spew mindless drivel snotbag bullshit crap like that then why don't u just pu t duct tape over your mouth and never talk again honestly some people just shouldn't even have mouths they talk so much crap god knows your an intelligent being and isn't falling for it anyway

  • @catgi91745 "wife and a family" refers to his humanity. God came in a human form (Jesus) yet gave up leading a normal life. He didn't get to experience the joy that comes with family.It ends saying "you gave your ghost" and "you went up on a tree" referring to death (an almost exact quote is found in the gospels) and a tree is in reference to a cross

  • I really think that is great this is video :)

  • @YourfriendHannnah well you should not look at it. Yust listen to the music

  • This video was kind of stupid but enlightening at the same time. I'm frazzled on the matter. I think it's only because I'm crazy about this song that I can excuse anything

  • this song is beautiful to me and any song maen anything to anyone when i listen to this sing its me saying i want to be alone with jesus then the corus then me singing to jesus saying what he gave up for me to be alone with me in spirit... i think this is so beautiful... I know God is real , and Ive never known a Man who Loved me like Jesus loves me.... <3
