Sufjan Stevens, 'All Of Me Wants All Of You' (Official Audio)

From the album CARRIE & LOWELL
Available on Asthmatic Kitty Records

LYRICS:
Shall we beat this or celebrate it?
You’re not the one to talk things through
You checked your text while I masturbated
Manelich, I feel so used

Found myself on Spencer’s Butte
Traced your shadow with my shoe
Empty outline changed my view
Now all of me thinks less of you

On the sheet I see your horizon
All of me pressed onto you
But in this light you look like Poseidon
I’m just a ghost you walk right through

Saw myself on Spencer’s Butte
Landscape changed my point of view
Revelation may come true
Now all of me thinks less of you

(All of me wants all of you)

Sufjan Stevens isn't just a musician, he's a magician.

[holofernez]

if sufjan stevens and bon iver collaborated i would ascend this dimension lol

[pupskin]

Captures the human condition. Hope, loneliness and longing. Wonderfully poignant.

[leobisch]

I cannot believe how an artist can inflict this much feeling on my soul. I am absolutely blown away by this album!

[adriancastro]

"All of me pressed onto you"
FUCK! I feel every word of that sentence.
Magic.

[tornadoman]

Hope Sufjan's soundtrack for the upcoming film adaptation of "Call Me By Your Name" by André Aciman is just like this song...dreamy, sexy, with that gentle ache of longing.

[laurenkeck]

The last bit starting at 3:08 and ending song, gut punches me and brings me to tears. Sounds like the something you’d hear at a funeral. I feel that bit captures life after a relationship. Having to return to a life without someone and feeling that emptiness. It’s sitting at home on the weekend looking around and noticing your surroundings may look the same but somehow looks darker than it used to. The color and life feels gone.

[philou]

toutes les chansons de Carrie and Lowell sont absolument magnifiques, celle est particulièrement lumineuse

[rolandbaldwin]

His voice just takes me somewhere else entirely. He's an absolute creative visionary.

[rg]

Of all of Sufjan's songs, this sounds like the only one that was made by putting Simon & Garfunkel and Kings of Convenience in a delightful, warm blender

[sharoncleaer]

How bold and yet vague his lyrics are. I am in love with this song and whole album. Not a single inch of me that doesn't love it.
SUFJAN is baring his soul.

[Shereadsalot]

This song screams "longing and loneliness" in the most beautiful manner.

[rogeresposito]

Sufjan is one of those musicians that has millions of listeners on Spotify, and isn't very well known at all on Youtube.
What's the reason for that?

[BananaPancaking]

I saw him 2 nights ago. he played a WAY different version of this. an upbeat, electronic and heavy bass version. it was a complete memory burn for me. i knew i had to find that song. but sadly, it doesn't seem to be anywhere on the internet

[Bane]

The chords are: Em, A, D, G, throughout.

[DeadHandX]

Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is masterpiece!!!

[MR-otnh]

My favorite of all his songs. It literally pierces my heart in many places.

[eddqreen]

his. voice. it's so soft and soothing, even the most vulgar of words could sound like honey coming out of his mouth. my dad used to play this song, and i've never appreciated this song until now. thanks, dad :)

[hopelessent.]

Why did you come into my life Sufjan!? Your music came in like a film score throughout these past few months. Ever since your performance of Mystery of Love I went through one emotional rollercoaster I can never truly forget. I’m now weak and pretty much empty and my emotions are so dry that its unsupportable for anyone around me. Thanks Sufjan for your music was The Only Thing why I continued at all. It was the desire of sharing my life with my old childhood friend and tell him how much he still means to me. Ever since I listened to The Predatory Wasps Of The Palisades Are Out To Get Us I had the urge to show your music to him. We were friends and for a small time we were in love.

It’s all gone now. I Should’ve Known Better but as I type this my childish fondness of him still circulates in my head. He was my Blue Bucket of Gold on New Years 2018 this was the year all about him. Now I lay alone with nothing. Still contemplating in ending it all, I just want to feel that love he offered to me. An embrace that no other person has ever offered.

Sorry for this long winded writing but to finish it all off I would just love to repeat those last lines from Eugene, “now I’m drunk and afraid wishing the world would go away what’s the point of singing songs, if they never even hear you”.

[ireneregis]

Listen to this song every time i want to feel loved.
