Silence formed the widest sea
In between our tired seats
Heads still dense and without dream
From the longest night we’ve ever seen
And following the rivers turns
We tried to leave it in the dirt
Climbing through the desert heat
Our voices stuttered in defeat
But as soon as we had closed our doors
And stepped out on the forest floor
The darkness softly curled up
In the shadows of the massive trunks
Remember how we felt so free
Admiring them from underneath
So hushed and in a restful peace
I carried you between the trees
As close as could be
Hide with me under the bark
In the hollow’s cover safe and dark
It’s nothing we're just a little tired
The great Sequoia needs the fire and we
Won't break that easily
We’ve as strong as our rings
Tangle your roots with me
In terra deep
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. Angkasawan
