Old Bon Iver? For sure. New one? Not so keen on the idea.

The last bit starting at 3:08 and ending song, gut punches me and brings me to tears. Sounds like the something you’d hear at a funeral. I feel that bit captures life after a relationship. Having to return to a life without someone and feeling that emptiness. It’s sitting at home on the weekend looking around and noticing your surroundings may look the same but somehow looks darker than it used to. The color and life feels gone.

I cannot believe how an artist can inflict this much feeling on my soul. I am absolutely blown away by this album!

"All of me pressed onto you" FUCK! I feel every word of that sentence. Magic.

Hope Sufjan's soundtrack for the upcoming film adaptation of "Call Me By Your Name" by André Aciman is just like this song...dreamy, sexy, with that gentle ache of longing.

Just wait until you hear his song called Eugene

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!

This song screams "longing and loneliness" in the most beautiful manner.

Why did you come into my life Sufjan!? Your music came in like a film score throughout these past few months. Ever since your performance of Mystery of Love I went through one emotional rollercoaster I can never truly forget. I’m now weak and pretty much empty and my emotions are so dry that its unsupportable for anyone around me. Thanks Sufjan for your music was The Only Thing why I continued at all. It was the desire of sharing my life with my old childhood friend and tell him how much he still means to me. Ever since I listened to The Predatory Wasps Of The Palisades Are Out To Get Us I had the urge to show your music to him. We were friends and for a small time we were in love. It’s all gone now. I Should’ve Known Better but as I type this my childish fondness of him still circulates in my head. He was my Blue Bucket of Gold on New Years 2018 this was the year all about him. Now I lay alone with nothing. Still contemplating in ending it all, I just want to feel that love he offered to me. An embrace that no other person has ever offered. Sorry for this long winded writing but to finish it all off I would just love to repeat those last lines from Eugene, “now I’m drunk and afraid wishing the world would go away what’s the point of singing songs, if they never even hear you”.

his. voice. it's so soft and soothing, even the most vulgar of words could sound like honey coming out of his mouth. my dad used to play this song, and i've never appreciated this song until now. thanks, dad :)

Just saw Sufjan tonight in Dallas, Texas playing at the Majestic. So happy he decided to come here and perform his new album for us, completely blown away by the live performances of his songs. I know that he doesn't like to come to Texas, so I feel really lucky to have experienced his poetic genius in person after years of listening to his beautiful music!

irene regis I listen to this song as a reminder of my love now used and my mind now frail at the thought of having that person to come back to my life.

What a absolute gorgeous masterpiece of an album - It's true art in it's purest form. I'm tempted to label it as indie/folk but it's just art in my opinion when think about it - never mind the labels and genres. As time passes this will become a classic and a defining album from the decade we are in, just wait and see. In the future we will reminiscene, sentimentally, the time when this album came out and what it meant for us as a generation. The melancholic, delicate, reflective music Sufjan Stevens makes are heartbreaking. And dare I say, CARRIE & LOWELL is in my opinion without a doubt his best work, just perfect. Just as some older folks feel nostalgic about the music of the past, 60s, 70s and 80s we will feel the same about this. This album will stand out as a influential and (in time) legendary piece of art - a musical milestone of the 2010's! Enough said, I apologize for the rambling.

this song describes what i feel most of the time, emptiness, loneliness, lust, longing, melancholy and hope.

My heartt just broke with this song.

this is the first song by sufjan stevens that i ever listened. thank god i found him

seeing this performed live at bass concert hall was the zenith of one of the greatest experiences of my life

Melancholic and dreamy. Beautifully mixed and produced. It is contemplative music and triggers many emotions, both soul searing and transcending.

This song haunted me at work today! I listened to it on repeat for at least an hour...

Art flowing through my ears, like healing through with freedom and solitude...

Those lyrics leave me speechless everytime. He's a poet

I like this "uuu" at the end of sentence.

This album just keeps getting better and better with time

Love this one, my favourite on the album.

Just how much talent this man has. Fantastic album through and through. Depressing but glorious.

This song makes you beleive that the music is eternal.

Beautiful. So moving on a very deep level.

Hugs and kisses to you. Thank you so much for what you give us all.

Excelente álbum.. Estou impressionado. Muito bom mesmo

i know this whole album portrays his relationship with his mother and her passing but i also view this album as a way to cope with my lover. no, we are not together but she is my first real love and she is a confirmation to my sexuality. there are days i feel so close to her that i wanna feel her touch, feel everything she feels in those moments. i am very bad at expressing how i feel at any times and i don't strictly open up to people. i want her to love me. i said i liked her to my best friend and i am so disappointed in myself that i did. i hate myself for that i wish they never knew. they probably think i just like her, but i can imagine hee touch in me, i can imagine us looking into our eyes and finding our future in them. fuck. im in love. all of me wants all of you" as Sufjan said, as i wanna say to her one day.

@davidtomory4068

when we're in love the deep desire to be close can be in conflict with our fear of it. Don't hate yourself for acting on either of those feelings, just recognise them (as you are, by saying it). To be in love is to be vulnerable - but then so often vulnerability inspires the same in another. If you're feeling that way, she definitely could be too. Good luck x

Sufjan's lyricism is remarkably layered, best lyricist alive.

The music is beautiful.

I'm sorry, I can see some kind of ressemblance, but it's nowhere close; Stevens has a depth, an intimate knowledge of the Universal that misses from Smith. Steven's music is incredibly intimate and delicate without ever being relatable other than in the emotional highway it connects to the listener's interiority. It's agnostically spiritual, which is the boldness you mention when speaking of an answer to a question. It's undeniably unique, in every way, and to compare it would be like comparing the Earth to any other planet in our solar system: it's impossible, not even remotely, because of the intricate nature of Earth, not because it's special.

I think it's wrong to objectively claim that he's gay, but it's also wrong to objectively say he's not. We have to remember that his music has had themes that blurred the lines between friendship and romance... I've always interpreted that sufjan is trying to say that there isn't much difference between the two.

Am I correct in thinking that Manelich is a man's name? Magnificent song, by the way.
