The wind in my ear
I pedal and push
Riding my bicycle
The clouds are too much
I found the brakes
Light came down as I rode away
Tied up my ties
Tried to look my very best
Wind off an arm, arms
Crossed on my chest
Just what I feared
A knife or a crutch
Caught in the spokes and
Got me all cut up

Oh my Love, you are fighting
Against your lungs and I against
My eyelids
To seperate the time, spent away
Oh my god, we are fighting
Against the threads
By the very fabric
To celebrate the time, spent today
I met you at the border cross and
Gave up kisses like a winter's frost
Long shoulder in your overcoat
I seen your eyes through a mouth of smoke

Eyelid Clicks

Eyelids click,
Take it all in
Your open eyes
A reminder
That the ocean will wash
Over your cuts
The simple refrain
Reminding
The noise in your ears
The spit in your mouth
Woke up too late
To let it all out

Altar Boys

The city freed the man in me
Came to call, down the street
With no intentions
There's no use in begging for
A crucifux, An altar boy
There's no use
In running from
The same discotheques, same crowds
This thirst that I have
May it never be quenched
My hunger returns to me
Every October's death
The passion fades, but the text persists
Cathedral bells, my broken wrist
School of hearts: It's a beautiful one
Drank a glass of tears
Before I fell in love
This thirst that I have
May it never be quenched
My hunger returns to me
Every October's death

Was it something dangerous?
Was it something marvelous?
I don't get out that much
Need you to be my eyes
Never stopped begging for talking pills
Washed your mouth out with dollar bills
No love lost over sour milk
|

I push the needle through
Knitting something nice for you
And I guess I always should
Measure twice with eyes and wood
I push the needle through
In hopes of finding something beautiful
Felt the lines go through the wool
Felt them give and push and pull
Money, money absolute
How can you run with nothing new?
All you got was knitted goods
All you got was knitted goods

Sorrows

Take me down
To the water
Fill you up
With the deepest of sorrows
That's my man, That's my brother
Shone a light on my own

Came up to the water
Put my feet into it
Bathed my heels in Jasper
Felt the sand give an inch
All the people bathing
Our teeth became connected
Smiling while we waded
Into the shallowness
Take me down
To the water
Fill you up
With the deepest of sorrows
That's my man, That's my brother
Shone a light on my own
Oh, and I was frightened
When you put your face in
The mouth of the canyon
The murky water's tide
And what a relief to see
All your sins absolved
Without a washing cloth
Just the stillness of the night
Take me down
To the water
Fill you up
With the deepest of sorrows
That's my man, That's my brother
Shone a light on my own

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens
supported by 20 fans who also own “Versicolour”
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track.

Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody.
