Standing on the precipice
Of truth and oblivion
The world was young
The world was younger
Running out, free undone
Screaming now, I can feel the sun
The world was young
The world was younger then
Branches breaking in the sound
Flowers growing from the ground
Time stands still
Time stands still now
Everyone together where
It’s filled with love, that’s how everything ends
Time is not real
Nothing is real here
You thought I would let you go
But I chased you through the winter snow
Oh, it was so cold, it was so cold
Oh, I feel so old, I am never going to leave

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
