“I was ashamed…
I was ashamed…
I was ashamed of her.”
It’s been a while since I’ve stated how I feel tumblr.
Perhaps it’s a sense of not needing you.
Maybe its about the fact that I can cope without the world be able to access my every feeling, my every sadness, fear, hope and dream.
Maybe there’s something beautiful in that.
In other news,
I’m sick.
End. !
(not really.)
This is the end.
I’m happy.
ENDDDDDD.
“The Avalanche- Outtakes and Extras from the Illinoise Album”
Sufjan Stevens
“If my father took his life
For the national plan, I don’t care
I’m not about to stick my grave with an
Apron and a bucket of plans, never ever
I can take the pillow cases
Off the yellow pillows
Make a property line from the bed
In the living room, the living room
The morning papers made the most
Out of nothing at all”
-Springfield, or Bobby got a shadfly caught in his hair
I think that there are songs on here that are just absolutely amazing. They are a great Having a good day mix of songs with the ammount of seriousness that you expect from Sufjan Stevens and an appropriately significant ammount of songs that are not as serious. Chicago is on here in various forms (my favorite being the Adult Contemporary Version). One of the songs that stands out for me the most on the entire Album is “Pittsfield”. The song is hauntingly beautiful, quiet and triumphant. “The Mistress Witch from McClure” is a sad tale of infidelity and the shock of being a child and finding out about it, something that hits a heart string for me.
I’m exhaused and don’t want to make a link for yall.
The album is Called “The Avalanche” and the whole name is above. It’s on Itunes. The songs are great. If you like Chicago, you will like this album.
This describes my life pretty efficiently right now.

goodnight tumblr!
Takk…
Sigur Ros
Okay. So I KNOW that I am not the first person to ever recommend this CD to you. The question is, why have you not purchased it yet? The music is amazing. Simply amazing. The music is haunting, beautiful and a departure from the regular stuff that we are subjected to on a daily basis. A combination of slow, building tones and chords that often crescendo in passionate music-gasm that can only be described as amazing. “Hoppipola” is mildly reminiscent of childhood (maybe its because of the video for the song that it brings this to mind… don’t forget to buy the album when you finally realize that you have been in love with Sigur Ros all your life.) “Saeglopur” is the song that started me on Sigur Ros, and was found in some video game trailer. I’m not afraid to admit that I didn’t find the song by going to a friends house and them popping the cd in or turning on Itunes.
I digress. The CD ends with “Heysatan” which you just have to listen to to understand the dauntlessness and peacefulness that the song ends the album with.
Itunes link to album below. Music video for Hoppipola above and from that I’m sure you can find the rest.
Merry Christmas!
“Sister Winter”
Sufjan Stevens
“Oh my, thoughts I,
Return to summer time.
When I kissed your ankle,
I kissed you through the night…”
Why?
It’s from a Christmas Album. By Sufjan Stevens. What more could you want?
The haunting vocals to the top notch musical accompaniment (I’m sorry, rating music isn’t really my thing. I’m more into keeping animals and plants alive in aquariums, but I’m trying.) this song really represents a more non-traditional look at Christmas Music from Sufjan Steven’s Christmas Album, which has many classic hymns and other sorts of Christmas-y music on it, like “Jingle Bells” and “Lo! A rose er blooming” (my favorite Christmas song on there) and in the hymn section, “Come thou Fount”. However, Sister Winter represents an amazing departure from these into a realm of new Christmas music that Sufjan Stevens has created. Haunting and beautiful, the lyrics touch my soul.
Tis the truth.
Thats why you should buy it.
Itunes link below.
Watch it here on Youtube. Then buy the album you cheap bastards.
Kthxbi.
