Which line from this album made you finally shed a tear?
>Should I tear my heart out now? Everything I feel returns to you somehow.
That line's great because it can be applied to things other than a dead person
>>61956953
>Now I'm drunk and afraid, wishing the world would go away
>What's the point of singing songs
>If they'll never even hear you?
I almost lost it at this line
>>61957023
That would definitely be the most painful to hear from a musicians standpoint
Pretty much every line from fourth of July
>>61957126
this
>every time he said "Why do you cry?"
>>61956953
None I don't like plebcore
>>61957141
What do you think the meaning of this line was? I understand that his mom had schizophrenia, so maybe it's from his mom's point of view during an episode, asking grown up Suffy genuinely, what was wrong?
>>61957126
Same.
>Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
>why do you cry?
>make the most of your life, while it is rife, >while it is light
>>61956953
Honestly opening line
>Spirit of my silence I can hear you
>But I'm afraid to be near you
>And I don't know
>Where to begin
line about masturbation
>friend, why don't you love me?
>>61956953
The one where the music started, and ended when i hit pause
>>61957205
Damn, good choice.
I guess my runner up would be in...I'm pretty sure it's No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross.
>There's blood on that blade
>Fuck me, I'm falling apart
>>61956953
The whole opening song
And all of no shade in the shadow of the cross
>>61957199
I'm like 90% sure he sings those parts from the point of view of his mom, due to him prefacing them with like pet names you'd give to a child (my little hawk, etc). It's more like she's telling him not to be sad because everyone dies eventually and that she's in a better place
basically Sufjan's mother comforting him about her own death :(
>>61957318
This moment of realization right now is brutal.
Fuuck AOTY
>>61957348
I guess that you should probably know in Casimir Pulaski Day, when the father drives his car into the Navy Yard, he's really driving off of a bridge.
>>61957375
FUUUUUUCK why don't I go on genius or something when I'm listening to these songs? There's clearly a shit ton more depth than I realize
>>61957318
you guys didn't know this from first listen?
>>61957247
Nice
>There’s blood on that blade
>Fuck me, I'm falling apart
>>61957023
This
>meadow lark drive your arrow
death with dignity gets me
>>61957247
>tfw got friendzoned by the perfect girl
This line kills me
Nothing. It's not a very sad-sounding album.
>>61958886
>being contrarian makes me seem superior
>>61957247
fuck,that Casimir Pulaski Day thing.....
I want to save you from your sorrow
>On the sheet I see your horizon
>All of me pressed onto you
>But in this light you look like Poseidon
>I’m just a ghost you walk right through
lots of good lyrics on this album but thats the kicker for me
>I love you more than the world can contain
>in its lonely and ramshackle head
>there’s only a shadow of me
>in a manner of speaking I'm dead
gives me chills every time. and these>>61957023>>61957201
People panning this as "p4k shit" really irritates me. I think this is his best album, except maybe Michigan
"All of me wants all of you" when the background voice repeats it, gives me chills.
>For my prayer has always been love
>What did I do to deserve this?
also not lines that touched me personally but i feel they describe the feeling of losing a loved one and reflecting upon death and life very accurately, very good lyrics :
>My brother had a daughter
>The beauty that she brings, illumination
<Don’t back down, there is nothing left
>The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
>I’m a fool in the fetter
>... etc
>my black shroud
>I am a man with a heart that offends with its lonely and greedy demands
lite's podsos team
>Well you do enough talk
>My little hawk, why do you cry?
>Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
>Or the Fourth of July?
>We’re all gonna die
>You checked your texts while I masturbated
>Manelich, I feel so used
whose your friend you like to play?
has rocket makes you yell 'horray'?
whose the best in every way?
whose your friend you like to play?
Bing Bong Bing Bong
Louder Joy! Sing louder!
>What's the point of singing songs?
The hospital asked should the body be cast Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
bawwww
