I agree with djw1234! It's ridiculous how everyone wants to be all PC about everything but simultaneously dogg on someone who knows what they believe and uses that as their muse. Some artists are influenced by drugs. Some by relationships. Whatever... just get over it. All of his music is like this so if you don't think what he writes is religious undertones you need to head back to 3rd grade and study context clues. I think its amazing how Sufjan poetically expresses his faith without making it blatant. That's the beauty in his lyrics--reading into a bit from his perspective. Anywho. My interpretation of this song is that is has to go with Jesus and also the woodpecker that everyone is referencing. I believe He is juxtaposing the same idea between the two. Just like this woodpecker, everyone for a while thought it was dead or extinct. Then suddenly it was rediscovered and everyone made a hub-bub (lol). "On the great bayou were they saw it fall" (swampy or the antithesis of something looked upon favorably) When Jesus died, everyone watched Him. People, even His own disciples, thought Him dead. Then suddenly 3 days later, He rose again. This song is about resurrection. That's just my two cents. |
