LYRICS:
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back 
In the shade of the meadowlark 
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost 
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

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,

Sufjan Stevens, "The Only Thing"

Sufjan Stevens, "Eugene"

Sufjan Stevens, "Drawn To The Blood"

Happy 10th Anniversary to Carrie & Lowell, one of the true great albums.

Death with Dignity (Sufjan Stevens Cover)

Verse 1:
I have been young 
But now I am older
I have never seen you 
Be unfaithful at all

Verse 2:
My friends are gone 
I’m alone 
I have never seen you 
Be unfaithful at all 

Prechorus: 
You’re the rock 
When the weather 
Seems to turn to disaster 
How you change it 
For my favor 

Chorus: 
You are the friend 
That I’ve needed in the storm 
You are the God who has  
Carried me since I was born 

you are the friend

i was going thru a big break up and was SOOOO SAAAD when i recorded this cover, maybe thats the reason why it's the most played track on my soundcloud lol

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.
