Sufjan Stevens – Barcarola (You Must Be a Christmas Tree) Lyrics 11 years ago
I think you're right about the dog, aylamarax. I thought this when I first heard it - kind of a conversation between him and the dog. Then I learned that he did in fact lose a dog, who was run over by a snow plow. To me the song is about grief, and it's one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I've ever heard. But wonderful, because the dog still lives in the words and the music.
