lyrics
Lullaby, say goodnight all the time
Then we can sleep for a thousand years
And roam
Lullaby close your eyes all the time
Then we can see for a thousand years
And roam
I can't sleep tonight they found you
Same words, same words, same bones
Stones in a row
Lullaby, you and I are on this wire
Then we can sleep, just sleep

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
An ethereal combination of harp, electric guitar, and near-subliminal vocals, sounding not unlike a lucid dream only dimly recalled after awakening. neu-mann
