tree tops stumble around to shake hands
the sky's getting angry red rosey cheeks
the leaves running circles on the ground
the wind just keeps pushing them around
and they just take it
and they just take it
and they just take it
and again they just take
and none of this is ever faked
and none of this ever faked
and none of this is ever faked
it is just all simple and honest
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
