The Friendly Beasts Lyrics

Cover art for The Friendly Beasts lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

This song is remarkable, not least because it dates from 12th century France.

Undoubtedly a highlight from Sufjan's Christmas collection, the amateur hour friends-and-family singing combined with Sufjan's musical treatment make this song just ooze with charm... and Shara Worden's wispy lines as the sheep could melt the hardest of hearts.
