Sufjan Stevens Vs. My Tearducts

(1/14) > >>

Johnny C:
Seriously. Why does every song the sonofabitch releases bring me to or near to tears? Like, come on. I was listening to "Casimir Pulaski Day" which I hadn't listened to in a while and suddenly I realized it was about the girl's cancer and I just went "FUCK FUCK FUCK" and almost lost precious fluid out of my eyes. That twee fucker.

Does anyone else have this same problem?

Teh_Shinobi:
Aye...
With the same song. Particularly cause it hits home for me. I had a friend die recently of leukemia.

Also, with John Wayne Gacy... that song's just flat out sad.

"His father was a drinker, and his mother cried in bed..."

*sob*

But that's not the case with all of his songs. For instance, the first track on "Greetings to Michigan" (All Good Naysayers...) always gives me a wide smile and makes me want to dance around with my arms swinging in random directions.

Also, the new album "The Avalanche" is REALLY good and has a lot of happy songs on it.

Gryff:
Gosh, 'Casimir Pulaski Day' is about the saddest song I've ever heard. The first time you actually really listen to the lyrics... man.

Bunnyman:
Geez.  The only album that brought me to tears was Autechre's "Amber."

KharBevNor:
Only songs that have ever bought me for tears have been 'Here Am I' by Sol Invictus and 'Something to Cling To' by Skyclad. Both for good reason. Their songs about the human condition that, I believe, anyone could be bought to tears to in the right circumstances.

The right circumstances being, for me, excessive drunkenness.
