In a sea
Foreign and exciting
Warm and free
Brilliant and inviting
In a sea
Mysterious and frightening
Vast and bleak
With nameless secrets hiding
In the deep
In a sea
Colorful and vibrant
Blue and bright
With the strangest creatures shining
In a sea so powerful and violent
Carving stone
With every ripple rising
From the deep
In a sea without a conscience
In a sea immense and constant
That doesn’t know what we’ve accomplished
Or that we’d even come upon it
And in a sea so steeped with the whale song
We dove down as deep as our lungs would
So pleased to be just another
Mass for the shimmering light to discover
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
