lyrics

"Penelope"

I passed that spot where we made love once out on the creek
where you took off your blouse and walked around and asked if anyone could see
my body is older but my memories are staying young
and all these women since but you’re still the one

there’s a valley in a field where I like to go sometimes
I like to watch the sun the birds and smell the coming night
if you were here I’d tell you all the things I never did before
I’d tell you all the things that I was sorry for
I’d tell you all of that and more

and so it goes
so it goes

some cling to familiar and find comfort in what they know
others go off into the distance and get lost in the things they don’t
there’s a goodness in this world but there’s a badness in me
try hard as I might I like to feel the heat
but the Lord is on His throne and the incense is burning now
and the creatures are singing Holy Holy Holy and the kings lay down their crowns

there’s truth and there’s lie
and all the things in between
that have me running standing still
and trapped inside a dream

and so it goes
so it goes

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 7 fans who also own “Penelope”

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
