lyrics
A long grey silence had ambled down the coast
You drew in sand all the things we’d miss the most
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
I hope we die here when we’re old.
We’ll case the shore to record this holy place
White cliffs and starfish, the tide like ruined lace
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
I hope we die here when we’re old.
And when we’re frail in our lawn chairs by the sea
All twisted hands, shrunken spines, and halting speech,
We’ll listen for the long grey silence to gather and increase
And when it does we’ll close our eyes and rest in narrow peace
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
Little love, little love
I hope we die here when we’re old,
Little love, little love
I hope we die here when we’re old.
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
Polish pianist plays a "silent song of hope" to benefit the people of Ukraine, simultaneously intense, cathartic, and soothing. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2022
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018
