Hey now watch the sky go
Into a deepest expanse of air.
Watch your eyes in the sky;
Ocean water, green as the greenest of air.
Hit me one more time
Before I die.
You can dilate your sweet eye
While I burn inside
Can we do it all by my side
Till the very end, there's no goodbye.
Can I fall asleep every night in this sky?
And can I touch the soul all through and through?
Dilating, caught inside the sky.
And I try and try
Dilate your eye.
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
