    A sad song on the world's saddest banjo by sadjan stevens

    Elliot Smith and Sufjan Stevens would have made a great duo

      I think if they were ever in the same room together, they'd reach a sort of emotional critical mass, and the whole of humanity would be enveloped in a wave of beautiful slow sadness. National security would be called, but nobody would be able to get up off the floor to answer the phone. Nuclear reactors would begin to overheat, and their operators would merely huddle together and quietly sing songs to the reactor cores, not so much to avert disaster but more to describe their fear of it.

      I disagree. Personally I think they are both too big of a universe to convey. It would be like wanting to mix Star Wars and Star Trek.

    [Verse 1: Stevens]
    Oh, there is a house
    A wonderful lover
    A satisfied hall
    Hope isn't a word
    A sudden said brother
    And what do you care?
    And I'll take the pictures
    If you stay in bed
    I'll run down the park
    If you put up your head
    [Chorus]
    Don't put up your borderline
    Don't put up your borderline
    [Verse 2: Sufjan]
    Oh, there is a house
    A wonderful lover
    And what do you care?
    Four or five years ago
    I wouldn't believe it
    I wouldn't receive it
    And I'll take the stiches
    You put in my head
    I'll run down the ark
    If you put up your head

    The honesty and humaneness in his songs are virtually intimidating. Salving there s still people out there who don t have their head full of shit.

    its pretty weird going from Sufjan's 'You Are the Blood' to this...i liked his music more before his budget/popularity swelled so much...
    his new stuff is good too though

    @jodyissoawesome Absolutely. I just wrote that in another video. Best songwriter ever IMO.. well. next to Mozart and like that. The emotional message that comes from his music is so many levels above everything else.. each album is more precious than gold to me.

    @minikindreamer 15 років тому +1

    I'd guess that it's Shana Worden (aka: My Brightest Diamond) since she is (or was) usually the back up female vocalist for Sufjan

  • @dts7824
    @dts7824 15 років тому

    Haha, you make me laugh yunginspirit, how can you possibly say this is is bad music when Ive just seen the absolute cheese you've got in your favorites. Have a long hard think about where you've gone wrong. This guy has talent in so many ways.
