• sufjan stevens'ın beklenmedik bir zamanda çıkardığı son ep'si. ep dendiğine bakmayın 8 şarkı 60 dakikalık bir lp sayılır bu, fakat sufjan bey ep olarak lanse etmek istemiş, kendi takdiridir diyoruz. tracklist de şöyledir ki;

    1.all delighted people (original version)
    2.enchanting ghost
    3.heirloom
    4.from the mouth of gabriel
    5.the owl and the tanage
    6.all delighted people (classic rock version)
    7.arnika
    8.djohariah

    albümde öne çıkan şarkılar title track olan all delighted people ve djohariah. özellikle all delighted people sufjan stevens'ın yaptığı en iyi şarkılardan biri bence. folk müzik, indie ve klasik müziğin çok tatlı bir karışımı olmuş. all delighted people'ın çok büyük derinliğe sahip, bir sufjan stevens klasiği olarak karp burkan şarkı sözleri de şöyledir ki;

    tomorrow you’ll see it through
    the clouded out disguises put you in the room
    and though i wandered out alone
    a thousand lights abounded on our home
    and i remember every sound it made
    the clouded out disguises and the grave
    so yeah i know i’m still afraid
    of letting go of choices i have made
    all delighted people raise their hands

    and i took you by the sleeve
    no other reason than to be leading your leading man
    and you woke up with a fright
    our lives depended on the visions through the night
    all we had always, all we had always wanted to before
    the hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
    all delighted people raise their hands

    still the force of nature spurned
    ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
    all delight people raise their hands

    i’m not easily confused
    the trouble with the storm inside us grew
    but i had so much to give
    in spite of all the terror and abuse

    and the people bowed and prayed
    and what difference does it make for you and me?
    all delighted people raise their hands

    and the people bowed and prayed
    and what difference does it make?
    it doesn’t matter anyway
    the world surrounds us with its hate

    hello darkness my old friend it breaks my heart
    i’ve come to strangle you in spite of what you’d like
    and don’t be a rascal, don’t be a laughing dog in spite of odds
    all i’m deciphering from the spirits in the light within
    all delighted people raise their hands

    in restless dreams i walked alone i walked alive
    the clouded out disguises left me in a dream of lightness
    all delighted people raise their hands

    and the people bowed and prayed
    to the neon god they made
    and what difference does it make?
    i love you so much anyway
    and on your breast i gently laid
    your arms surround me in the lake
    i am joined with you forever

    and the people bowed and prayed
    and what difference does it make for you and me?
    all delighted people raise their hands

    i’m not easily confused
    i feel alive i feel it glowing in the room
    all delighted people raise their hands….

    and the people bowed and prayed
    oh i love you a lot; oh! i love you from the top of my heart
    and what difference does it make?
    i still love you a lot; oh! i love you from the top of my heart
    and on your breast i gently laid all my head in your arms
    do you love me from the top of your heart?
    i tried my best i tried in vain. do you love me a lot?
    do you love me from the top of your heart?

    and the people bowed and prayed
    oh! i love you a lot; oh! i love you from the top of my heart
    and you can see through my mistakes
    oh! i’ll tell it to you now; oh! i’ll tell it from the top of my heart

    and what difference does it make
    if the world is a mess; if the world is a mess?
    and on your breast i gently laid
    oh! i’ll tell it to you now; oh! i’ll tell it to you now

    (when the world’s come and gone shall we follow our transgressions
    or shall we stand strong?)

    i tried to save the things i made
    oh! but the world is a mess, oh! but the world is a mess
    and what difference does it make if the world is a mess?
    if the world is a mess!
    i tried my best i tried in vain
    oh! but the world is a mess! oh! but the world is a mess!

    sufjan stevens böyle mükemmel albümler yapıp kalbimizi burkmaya devam etsin lütfen.
  • titular şarkısı ile gönlümü çalmış ep. bir haftadır döndürüp döndürüp dinliyorum, bıkamadım, böyle güzel bir şey olamaz. sözlükte bu denli az entry girilmiş olmasına da çok şaşırdım açıkçası.

    bir hafta sonra editi: albüme adını veren parça ile zaten çalmış olduğunu belirttiğim gönlümü kapanış şarkısı djohariah ile onulmaz şekilde lime lime etmiştir ayrıca.
