Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell (Official Stream)

Let Me In

While I powder my nose,
He will powder his gums,
And if I try to get close,
He is already gone,
Don't know where he's going,
I don't know where he's been.
But he is restless at night,
Cause he has horrible dreams.

So we lay in the dark,
Cause we've got nothing to say.
Just the beating of hearts,
Like two drums in the grey.
I don't know what we're doing,
I don't know what we've done.
But the fire is coming,
So I think we should run.

I think we should run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run

While I put on my shoes,
He will button his coat,
And we will step outside,
Checking out the coast is clear
On both sides,
We don't wanna be seen.
Oh, this is suicide...
But you can't see the ropes.

And I won't tell my mother.
It's better she don't know
And he won't tell his folks,
Cause they're already ghosts.
So we'll just keep each other,
As safe as we can.
Until we reach the border,
Until we make our plan.

To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...
To run, run, run, run...

Will you stay with me my love?
For another day...
Cause I don't want to be alone,
When I'm in this state.
Will you stay with me my love?
Till we're old and grey.
I don't wanna be alone.
When these bones decay...

Run, run, run, run...
Oh run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
And run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...
Run, run, run, run...

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

More info: http://carrieandlowell.com

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,

Lyrics:
People, lost in the haze, defeat their own lives, it seems
Aimless, wandering wide-eyed, I was bound to love again

I will do you no harm, I won't fly
I will do you no harm, I will try

Darling, hazel-eyed mountain song, my soul longs for you
Running, I wasn't gone for long, I've grown all for you

I will do you no harm, I won't fly
I will do you no harm, I will try 
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die

What if I lose all sight and ambition?
What if my heart weakens my vision?
What if all I need is right in front of me? 

I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die
I could die in your arms, I could die

It's an easy going song, I hope you like this. Sit back, close your eyes and relax. :) Wanted to sound as raw as possible, so kept effects and dolittles to the minimum. Leave your valued feedbacks! Thanks.

It's fine if she haunts me 
Cause I want her for myself. 
It's fine if she don't know me 
Cause I know her like nobody else. 

So funny how she loves me 
like she loves herself. 
But she's fine, so fine, so fine, 
so find another baby, 
I love her, this I cannot help. 

But if she changes her mind 
like she does it, does it, does it all the time. 
I won't be unkind, 
I only wish you'll find 
Yeah I only wish you'll find. 

How she's special with no hassle 
She has no made up mind, 
but her make-up's always fine 
although she's late most of the times. 
She knows I can't deny her when she wants it by the fire, 
It's cold now baby, we should be together 
For now if not forever. 

Last night I should've kissed you 
I missed that, now I miss you too. 
I know you're up to no good, 
let me love cause I'm g-good to. 

And lately I've been dreaming 
'bout the future we should go explore. 
I'm just good at writin', singin', dreamin' meanin' darling doll, 
You're the only woman I'd write for. 

But if you change your mind 
like you do it, do it, do it, do it 
most of the times. 
I won't be unkind, 
I only wish you'll find 
yeah only wish you'll find how you're...

📖 About the song:
“The world’s going dark and I need a light” is one of the heartfelt lines in Travis James’ new single 'End of the World'. Written during isolation, it was Travis' way, like many artists, to express his feelings and the search for hope during hard times. "I want people to be reminded that the things that get us through in this life are not the things we see. In times like these, if you can look past the material things, you might be able to find peace amidst all the chaos”, says Travis.

Co-produced with Tiago De Renor, the song came to life as a response to Travis' struggle with loneliness. He wasn't alone, though. The music video for 'End of the World', features people from all over the world holding signs of things they've learned not to take for granted. It's a reminder that no matter where or who you are, we are humans and have more in common than we think.

"End of the World" is just not a pandemic song. It's about coping and looking for hope when times are hard. “This song is really about needing a light in a time where the world has been feeling pretty dark. So much has been happening with the world outside of the pandemic, I hope people can relate to this song no matter what they're going through and that it helps them keep going. It's a project that we're really proud of and I can't wait for everyone to hear it."

📝 Lyrics:

Getting lonely
Lonely as the days go by
Nothing to do with all this time
And it feels like the end of the world

Oh, my brother
I need something to get me through
I’m just confused
And these days it feels like the end of the world

Oh, someone take me away for a minute
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m barely living
And these days it feels like the end of the world

Days they turn into the dead of night
Spent my whole life trying to get it right
But these days it feels like the end of the world

Been praying for something to give me a sign
The world’s going dark and I need a light
‘Cause these days it feels like the end of the world

Oh, someone take me away for a minute
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m barely living
And these days it feels like the end of the world

Oh, someone take me away for a minute
‘Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m barely living
And these days it feels like the end of the world

Oh, these days it feels like the end of the world
Oh, these days it feels like the end of the world

Travis James - End of the World (with lyrics)

Donovan Woods - Petrolia

Born in 1999, Asthmatic Kitty Records was originally conceived as a platform for musical projects by a community of artists from Holland, Michigan, a small city on the shore of Lake Michigan. Some were Holland natives, and others had come to attend local colleges and universities. While the original Holland nucleus has now dispersed to various parts of the country, the fellowship is still growing, with new friends and shared projects with other independent labels. Asthmatic Kitty is now based in Lander, Wyoming, Indianapolis, Indiana and New York City.

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, a voluptuous orange and white longhair who wandered out of the woods in 1995, pregnant, starving, and afflicted with various parasites and ailments, including feline asthma. Although she still wheezes a bit, especially when being chased by her sister Tabby, Sara today enjoys a healthy and happy life of luxury. Cast-off animals make the best pets!
