lyrics

i would sing along

In the low light,
in the lowest notes,
I hear him singing sweetly.
An elephant sings someone to sleep.
And I would sing with him,
on the steps of our building,
in the city, in the very,
very pinkish evening.
We would be there waving
to everyone driving by us on our street,
and they would smile.
And I would hear his song,
and I would sing along,
and I would sing along.

In a film I saw, maybe last springtime,
an elephant is painting,
in blues and in greens and oranges.
Maybe he is painting the sea
and remembering his family vacationing
at the seaside.
I would swim by his side,
look for shells at low tide,
and pebbles shining in the water.
And I would hear his song,
and I would sing along,
and I would sing along.

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch

So glad to found the complete bundle was still available to buy. I couldn't just buy the standalone LP, had to get all the items together to increase my own delight! ♡ One of my favourite records of Sufjan along with Carrie & Lowell and The Greatest Gift. Vinilocioso
