The soul of all things
Floating around
In echoes of darkness
Specters of sound
Cyphers of dreams
Flown from the deep
Floating around in his sleep
And from the East came the sun
And the morning light
All morning white
To cut a line in the corner of his eye
And Atlas awoke
Jonesin' to toke
To quiet the thoughts all rumbling down
Like a dam that done broke
You lost your touch, he says
Maybe you've got too much, he says
Maybe you've got too much
For what it's worth
It was the sky on his shoulders
Not the earth
But Atlas just shrugged
He's going back on the drugs
Oh man I'm back on the drugs
It's hard to get up
When you're stuck in a rut
When you're spinning around and around and around
'Til you don't know what's what
And I want to see every leaf
On every tree, every leaf
On every tree
As he walked through the whirlwind of his home
Every thing in the whole world that he did own
Fell to his feat, calling for Change, Change, Change
O, Change
But Atlas just shrugged
He's going back on the drugs
Swallowed down that bitter slug
And in full seriousness, he looked to the sky
And he said, O!
Why I want to see every leaf on every tree
Who put all this burden on me?
Let the beauty of the world rise around him
Let the beauty of the world rise around him
Let the beauty
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan

The haunting new record from Canadian folk artist Avi C. Engel bridges old and new traditions with a minimalist approach. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 24, 2024
I consider this album to be the first music I truly identified with and fell in love with when I was still growing up. Gabriel's music is so easy to sing along to and has such lovely storytelling. This will always have a place in my heart as one of the best most important albums in my life. Cannot recommend enough!! Alejandro Montañez
