hold steady
you're almost through
there's more to you
you're stronger than we
knew the warm embrace
the close and safe
It's all because
we made this place
if all the wild in you
could be held for just one moment
i'd hold your face and say just what you're worth
and how you deserve
to never feel the weight of the world
on the softest shoulders ever known
draped in glass and never on their own
i hope you know what you're in for
beauty is seeing the end

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
