In “Carrie and Lowell,” Sufjan Stevens is a child again or, more specifically, the child character in the family of man drama that often but not always centers on the story of love given, or love forsaken, but isn’t that the same thing to the poet? That the love Stevens sings about having left or given or been born to–thank you, Carrie–is a perceptible wound not only on the singer’s throat, but his sleeve: he wears love’s incomprehensibility, and the deep incomprehensibility of being a son, like a backing vocal on “Carrie and Lowell,” which is also filled with colors, hearts, trees, conclusions, and beginnings,

Sit Down Beside Me

Track Eleven

She said don’t be crazy
Life happened
You’re not being lazy
So we need to get you
Back on your feet
There’s nothing more important
That’s your most
Immediate need
But he said
That’s something
I can’t do 
You’ve seen me
You know that’s true
I’m lucky if I can take
A step or two
I’m not buying it
She said
You can do anything
Once you make up your mind
Or get it straight in your head
We can turn your life around instead
I’ll keep trying as long as you do
Besides what else is there
Other than hanging around
Watching youtubes
Or maybe just wasting your life
But it’s up to you 
Cause I’ve got the time
But that’s only
If you change your mind

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
