@annieover- you're right... and that makes it all the more powerful... He must have really done something wrong to feel like he made God so displeased... |

| The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers – Lisa Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| What a sad but beautiful song. My friend sent this to me randomly one day, and it's made my top songs list. So amazing. The female vocals at "I left a map to my new wall, you must have never found it" are truly beautiful. Just amazing. | |

Ah, yes, this song is amazing. I love the way the drums work with her singing, and the piano is top notch. I can't find chords ANYWHERE though, so I'm going to try to tab them out myself. I must play this song, just for the experience. Rarely can I create such wonderful sound. For some reason it reminds me of Charlie Brown's Christmas, or whatever that movie was called. Probably the piano again. |

| Sufjan Stevens – All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Do religious songs and love songs have to be separate categories? I think all of Sufjan's religious songs are like love songs to God- I admire that. It's one thing to worship the almighty Creator, but it's another to love Him with all of your heart. This is an element of true Christianity; not just to believe in the power of God but also in His love for you, and to return that love that he has so freely given you. | |
| Sufjan Stevens – Damascus Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I think it's "back against the everglades, back against the out-of-state". I can see the conversion of Paul, but I also think there's a personal parallel there. When he says, 'This is the las place I go", that makes me think of someone seeking solitude. I think of him trying all of his usual places and not finding peace, then finally coming to this place (a 'Damascus' of sorts) where he can change. He recognizes his wrongs and asks to be forgiven of them. also, it's "do you know the adversary?" not "end is airy". |

Uptdate: the mysterious chord was another, different modified D that is tabbed as such: x00032 Also, in typical Sufjan fashion, pick the first string of each chord before playing it. There are also some walk-ups that are easy to figure out. |

I second that! If anyone's looking for chords, I've found these (guitar): Capo 4 Verse: Em, G, ? (I don't know what this one is, but you can play the next one twice and it works), modified D (TAB: 2x0230). Chorus: Am, C, ? again, but you can play the modified D twice like last time. It doesn't sound quite right, but seeing as there are no other chords for this song on the 'net... |

What an amazing song. Reminds me of The Upper Peninsula in terms of the music and even, I suppose, the meaning. Sufjan has this great knack for using small things, like this person's father's face, to make such a deep impact. |
