Sufjan Stevens - Fourth Of July (HD) Live In Paris 2015

C'était le 8 septembre 2015 au Grand Rex, Paris, France.
extrait de l'album "Carrie & Lowell"

This song is my favorite off this album. Breaks my heart. It sounds like lullaby a mother would sing to her child, but in reality, it's the opposite.

My sexuality is Sufjan's bicep as he plays piano

[gesinekruger]

I could not sing this without bursting in tears...

Hearing the song after my father passed in 2020 really changed my perspective on it.
It’s a sad song, but at the end when he’s repeating we’re all gonna die, for some reason it brought me comfort. Knowing that my loss isn’t something I’m alone in, everyone feels that at some point, and there is a comfort in knowing everyone will experience that loss, and be the subject of that loss to others as well. Beautiful song Sufjan

[danieloconnell]

The saddest song of all time. A huge accomplishment

[cjmurphyeck]

His face at 4 minutes is heartbreaking

[hyperborean]

I consider Sufjan and Jamie Mc Dermott the most outstanding male singers/songwriters of today

The evil it spread like a fever ahead
It was night when you died, my firefly
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
"Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We're all gonna die"
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
Now, where am I? My fading supply
"Did you get enough love, my little dove
Why do you cry?
And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
Though it never felt right
My little Versailles"
The hospital asked should the body be cast
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
"Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
Why do you cry?
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
While it is light
Well you do enough talk
My little hawk, why do you cry?
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
Or the Fourth of July?
We're all gonna die"
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die
We're all gonna die

[iliatrain]

When he just repeats we’re all going to die on a loop at the end....

Woooah que hermosa voz, no puedo dejar de llorar cuando oigo esta canción. Es mi favorita del álbum Carrie & Lowell, es un álbum bastante triste y reflexivo. Me da la impresión de que él igual se sintió mal por el hecho de que su madre se haya ido en el peor momento, es una conversación con ella sobre su relación con ella, bastante conmovedora, me llegó al corazón esta canción y todo el álbum fue bastante hermoso y triste a la vez❣️❣️🎶

J'aurai aimé connaître Sufjan Stevens avant 2017 pour assister à un de ces moments

[astra]

[BBazza]

Happy Independence Day 2018. We're all gonna die.
