Relistening to half alive: I am deeply religious but not Christian. Those symbols are closed off due to past experiences. But the songs of Sufjan or half alive speak to me. Why? I think perhaps religion w/o mystical experience is useless. Anyway this is my favorite verse from The Dark Night of the Soul (trans., mine):
In the blessed night
In secret, completely unseen
And seeing nothing
With no light to guide
But the one that in my heart gleamed

Sufjan Stevens Is Doing Okay https://www.vulture.com/article/sufjan-stevens-carrie-and-lowell-interview.html // I ♥️ #Sufjan

Episode two hundred and fifty-three is up now! Today's song is Futile Devices by Sufjan Stevens.

I discuss the song's bittersweet lyrics, and how the song's sound bridges the gap between Sufjan's earlier and later albums.

Some of you might know this, but I like musical theatre (🦄 I know). Also, one of my favourite contemporary songwriters is Sufjan Stevens. All of this to say, this song made my week, it almost made me cry.

The original version from the Illinois album was always one of my favourites. A beautiful, metaphorical, and evocative song about a queer kid's first love (at least that's how I have always interpreted it and now that Sufjan is out, it pretty much confirms this reading).

I haven't seen the musical, but it sounds like they are using this song as some kind of climax, which makes sense. It is a beautiful rendition. Enjoy :)

#NewMusicFriday #NowListening

Looking forward to the new #Sufjan, sure, but #DanielVillareal has a new album out w/ #JeffParker and #AnnaButterss --- that's the real weekend soundtrack for me.

Heard the new Sufjan Stevens record at the Amsterdam listening party (Concerto). Feels like his previous (Carrie & Lowell) but with a bit more orchestration and electronics. More All Delighted People, less Age of Adz. Lots of fingerpicking guitar. "Everything That Rises" and "Shit Talk" were standout tracks to me. #sufjan

@idhrendur if you're listening to #Holst / planets, might want to give #SufjanStevens ' #Planetarium a listen for the compare and contrast value ... #sufjan defo took some inspiration there
