Sufjan Stevens - Fourth Of July 1 Hour Loop

Not my song!
Go check out the original by Sufjan Stevens!

[XANXAN-RORO]

The actual song's meaning is the artist's mom was on her deathbed, and this was the last conversation they had.

[Professional-simp]

It’s so sweet how people are willing to tell us *complete strangers* the sad things that had happened and it’s nice to know that people can relate and are so kind to others here❤

[Holly.a.s]

This song is literally the best i could literally fall asleep to this and/or cry because its so good

[cometstail_]

Playing the drums to this makes me want to cry bc my nana (grandma) bought me my first drum set a few weeks before she passed.

[ryleighhh.]

i can't help but cry when i hear this song. every time. honestly i js wish someone would talk to me like this

[shayla-lv]

Idk why but everytime I hear this song I slowly break down into tears

[Sweetflowerbunny]

I’ve been sobbing for the past hour because this video came on while I was reading page 309 of King of Wrath. I’m not okay.

[ieeiiwieieieiw]

This song feels like comfort in sadness

[MilaMontemayor-hu]

My friend died last Tuesday at night and this is truly making me think about him..

[MusicIdeal_]

Posting lyrics cause no one else has! :D



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

[tiatanaka]

That song is endless, so as the sadness it makes resonating inside.

[midnightalien]

This song bring back so many sad memories from sh and from when I tried overd0sing last year it sad how i was supposed to be the funny laughing friend but I’m over here suffering in silence because I didn’t know how to express my feelings toward people and I still don’t know how

[Azurae_the_alien]

my dog just died of cancer two days ago. last night we buried her. she was only two. im going through some stages of denial rn but its just so hard to think that i'll never see her again.

[Dr.VomitDV]

this song reminds me of my guinea pig. He died at night. “Sitting at the bed with a halo at your head” reminds me how he died in my bed next to me. And i always wonder if he got enough love. And i always think about how we’re all going to die. i cry every time i listen to this song. it wasn’t easy living after my guinea pigs death, since it felt like he was my own son.

[ILY_ALL]

I’m crying right now and once the song ended of course I got a Hardee’s ad. I don’t want Hardee’s. I forgot how to spell it so don’t ask, but I absolutely love this song and thank you for making it.

[ZeroMizKunFan]

:'( I wish I could haven spend more time with my parents before they went away.

[RaNdm_EdtZ__U]

This is the song i go to when i need to cry

[Rustflake]

Here to listen to this beautiful masterpiece

[PaigeM-icol]

This song reminds me of my dog Nugget, he passed away when I was 1 year old. He had cancer and needed to be put down. he made me so happy. Nugget helped me in the hardest of times. I love you Nugget.🥲🤧😭

[liv-Nebula]

If you listen closely at 0:41 you hear his voice breaking like he's crying... That's heartbreaking honestly
