The Weepies - Safe As Houses
unreleased Weepies song; possibly about 9/11
no infringement intended;
Are you somewhere safe as houses?
Close your eyes count one, two three.
Run and hide now are you ready?
Ollie, ollie in-come-free.
Itsy bitsy spider crawls
Up the clear blue glass, down the broken walls.
All the games we played as children
To fight against the dark
Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down...
Feeling sick, stay home inside
See the T.V. news, and the New York skyline.
I want to make you a sheltering sound
But right side's wrong, and upside's down.
All the games we played as children
Not to feel so small
Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down, all fall down
And it's a beautiful world
Sun is shining so bright
And it tilts through the late summer leaves
But now there's a hole in the sky.
God I wish I could believe in and pray
When everything changes in a day.
Are you somewhere safe as houses
Mother may I run and hide?
Don't throw stones at other people
Hope your brother's on your side
And all the games we played as children
To fight against the dark
Red, Red Rover, four-leafed clover
Ashes, ashes all fall down, all fall down
All fall down.

stunning I do not own this. No infringement intended
Sublime version ❤
Why is this one not on Spotify :( it’s my favorite song
My favorite version of Chicago. ❤
the voice of an angel
Sufjan,, you just amaze over and over. Thank you!
All things...
I still remember listening to this live session with the windows down while driving through LA. I think it was the summer after I moved there back in '05 when Nic Harcourt was still the host at KCRW. I immediately wanted to listen to it over and over again. Thanks for posting this great quality version.
A VAST flame in this version
I feel safe here. Where UA-cam doesn't mute or disable comments for no reason. <3
Am crying now..
Dude. I want to buy this (version). On any media, in any format.
OP is entirely accurate: stunning.
beautiful song of a dark time
Sufjan teasing The Ascension a decade earlier, his mind is so powerful
Made me so happy to hear this at the beginning of the show The Politician. I’ve loved this song forever and it has always been so underrated. Glad to see it get some major recognition.
“The Politician” is my favorite show and it got me into Sufjan’s music!
Way before the Politician even exicted this song was already in the movie Little Miss Sunshine, check out this movie if u havent seen it.
@@samghar7837one of the greatest movies i’ve watched
There's a video of this version with them in the studio, but audio seems louder/better on this one.
This is gorgeous
The world owes me for not introducing this song to me earlier in time!
😭😭😭😰😨😓😭
S U C H A N A M A Z I N G V E R S I O N !
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is as if an angel came to sit at my table and sing. Such beauty.
i wish he still played like this all the time. I can't get enough of his older banjo/guitar/folksy stuff.
This specific version of this song is so important to me. I've been listening to this since I was like 7 and it still instills the same exact feeling in me every time
UA-cam didnt even exist yet when I was seven. This comment made me feel ancient.
@@jordanberndt4157internet didn’t exist when I was 7!
I actually put this version in a mix when I was in college. I recently returned to it as it has helped my grieve my love I’ve lost recently. It’s so beautiful. It’s medicine
I love this tune. His voice is so unique.
Hearing it in 2017 reminds me of when I was young and makes me want to cry 😭
Top quality comment 👍
so pretty
we slept in parking lots
He just sang these words when I read the lines. Gorgeous. 🐛🌳🌞
Man he absolutely kills this performance
X100
The chills. Thank you for this upload.

anybody know where i can find the tabs or chords to play this song on guitar???
If u found the tabs ND chords, cud u give me a link... I have been looking for them like crazy
I can't believe they didnt release this song on an album!!! it's so gorgeous...
Creo que nunca nadie va a poder entender lo mucho que amo este tema.
I have this song on my ipod and my heart just stops whenever it plays. The lines "God I wish I could believe in and pray. When everything changes in a day" is just too true for me.
This version tops all of them. Simply fantastic.
A poignant and beautiful song about not knowing whether or not your loved ones are alive during 9/11 and all you guys can think of is Stephenie Meyer? Shame on you people. Shame.
Beautiful and sad.
this title remind anyone of The Host by Stephenie Meyer?
he's so good, he sounds better live :D
Really good stuff!! :)
@AFK337 you're welcome!
Thank you for posting this!
