A reconciliation song. A couple of years ago there was a member of my family who estranged themselves from the rest of us, and it was an incredibly painful time. I try to tell the story in an abstract way, building to a plea or a prayer - it's not too late

lyrics

Lost breath
It’s a quarter to one
We’ve been waiting for the winds to shift
Pale-faced at the letter he wrote
Could we ever come back from this?

I’m not a fly on the wall
Or an innocent monolith
But I couldn’t tell you I didn’t hope when he said
‘Could we ever come back from this?’

Oh you aren’t some little boy
Who needs the world explained
Maybe we’re just airing out

Noon flight
With her arms in the air
All the rhythm inside her slipped
He’s there
And his eyes are like plates
Could we ever come back from this?

And if you could see us know
After everything you risked
Maybe we would make you proud
That we’re gonna come back from this

There’s still time to live our days as brothers in arms
Like brothers in arms
There’s still time to turn the boat around
Ask to forgive well it’s already done
It’s already done, I’ve already laid the whole thing down

There’s still time to live our days as brothers in arms
Like brothers in arms
There’s still time to turn the boat around
Ask to forgive well it’s already done
It’s already done, I’ve already laid the whole thing down

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 7 fans who also own “Brothers In Arms”

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
