~Lyrics~
I’d swim across Lake Michigan
I’d sell my shoes
I’d give my body to back again
In the rest of room
To be alone with you
You gave your body to the lonely
They took your clothes
You gave up a wife and family
You gave your ghost
To be alone with me
To be alone with me
You went up on a tree
I’ve never met a man who loved me

I don't get it, to me it's an overwhelmingly positive and serene song. I often see people describing Sufjan's music as sad even when it's not and it reeks of superficiality.

Looks like I'm still up at 4am listening to Sufjan 20 years later.
This album broke my heart 20 years ago. It’s still broken.

good art should break one's heart open
why is the little swan family animation the sweetest thing I've ever seen
This song touched me so deeply in college. And listening to it again now, it finds its way back to the tender part of my heart it first found almost 20 years ago.
This is the first Sulfjan Stevens song I listened to. Such a lovely tune. 💛🫂

same heard it on the movie Demolition it stucked with me so i searched the song and that's when i discovered sufjan and the rest is history
All the songs from this CD are absolutely haunting. It is like a meditation for me. I always come back to these songs. "You gave your body to the lonely" Isaiah 53:12 (NIV): "Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
i discovered sufjan almost a year ago, and i gotta say, i've never seen or heard an artist like him. the lyrics, the aesthetics, the melodies.. he's a pure genius, and i wish i had discovered him earlier
One of my favorite artists to listen to when I need to unwind and calm down ❤
This album is so beautiful and soothing. It gave me peace in my teen years. Thank you, dear Sufjan.
summer rain with SufjanStevens songs, if this isn’t nice then I don’t know what is
This song literally popped into my head less than an hour ago, after many years of not having heard it… and here it is! And with beautiful artwork and animation! 💜💜💜
I love Sufjan Stevens so much!!! His music is some of the most beautiful and somber i've ever heard.

Todo o seu trabalho é tão bonito e emocionantes que é impossivel nao se apaixonar por ele.
Beautiness from the start to the end! Je l'ai aimé!
Beautiful ❤
i was listening to this song this evening and realized how different it feels since i first listened back in school and then i thought about it and started to read and now i feel angry and am going to go fall asleep in a field
ah, time for the classic Sufjan pastime of “is this song gay or just about Jesus”
With me never alone With him often alone Never alone with you Never alone with me
The deluxe addition hit Spotify as well!
Te quiero mucho sufjan
I love you so much your music means so much to me ever since I listened to Futile Devices I’ve been obsessed 💓
omgg I love this
This is the earliest time I've ever been! Been listening to this guy's song for years now
This is my favorite song of all time!
I’m so stoked I found this today looked at the date and said happy birthday brother. ❤
I've been covering this song for over a decade and still barely do it justice compared to this.
What a bop
노래가 심심한 것 같다가도, 안 시끄러워서 좋은 듯 합니다. 그리고 저 그림이 나를 너무 마음 편하게 해요.
Beautiful!!!
i love listening top sufjan stevens

I love this! But why do the lyrics say "I've never met" instead "I've never known" in the last line?

Might be that „met“ was the original lyric, but in the studio he spontaneously sang it differently and they never changed it in the text. „Known“ sounds better imo. :)

And just like that...😭😭
Yay

I love this so much .... I hope its not about religion .... x
I really wanna read the story behind every song he writes.

just realized to be alone with me you went up on that tree [refrencing the story of Zacchaeus in the bible]

Listening to the proceeding verse about giving your body to the lowly, they took your clothes, giving your ghost to be alone with me (you went up on a tree) sounds more like a crucifixion reference.

beautiful song but i am so annoyed that those swans don't have a flying animation, it's an animation of them standing and flapping their wings made to look like it's flying
Love your voice
