Deep within the dream of love
Caution burns
A heat beyond the point of no returns
Deep beyond the thicket and
The grandma tree
The unicorn is grazing on the leaves
You're poised to make yourself so inconsolably alone
No more breadcrumbs lead you home
No more breadcrumbs lead you home
And all your fear is gone
Your calm is spreading through and through
Like you know not what you do
Like you know not what you do
Like all the means to happiness are here
They are here
They are here
Like all the loves you're looking for are near
They are near
They are near
As darkness falls your loosened voice
Will float across the fold
His ears will perk to track the singer
And through the mist and gloam he'll come
Careening 'cross the cold
To sting you with his pure white stinger
Barreling down, careening down
The world bends in his wake
Laws and leaves just tear away
All that fabric tears away
Your eyes all filled with blood
Your heart impaled upon his horn
Now you are the unicorn
Now you are the unicorn
Now all the means to happiness are here
They are here, they are here
Now all the loves you're looking for are here
They are near, they are near
They are near.

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
Irish singer-songwriter Oisin Leech's acoustic folk music is characterized by its muted beauty and intimate, solitary quality. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 16, 2024
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
