lyrics
You know you're running short of luck
You're feeling out of touch
So much for going out alone
And doing everything on your own
Oh no, now it's all taken away
And there's nothing left to say
Except- OK, the world disappoints
But he does not
There'll be colour again
He's on a mission to lift you up and out
There'll be colour again
Oh remember now, yesterday ended last night
Knocked out, out of nowhere a blow
Like you've never seen or known
In monochrome slow-mo you fall to the floor
Never seen this place before
"Oh Lord, all my hope left without making a sound"
Face down, you can't face another round
But he sees you now
We were out our depth
Running out of breath
Assumed there was death round the corner
We were sunk in debt
And with nothing left
It seemed it was almost all over
Now the curtain's torn
Got to sing with soul
He ripped up a hole in the silence
Everything reborn
Got to to sing with soul
He lifted me up out of sickness
When you feel there's no colour
And you know it's not OK
Don't break
Cos everything's starting again
Where did it go? It seems the light's getting dimmer
As I travel from four walls to four wheels and back and back
It's hard not to feel that the breath is being beaten out of me
When I look down will I see rock or sand?
You're feeling out of touch
So much for going out alone
And doing everything on your own
Oh no, now it's all taken away
And there's nothing left to say
Except- OK, the world disappoints
But he does not
There'll be colour again
He's on a mission to lift you up and out
There'll be colour again
Oh remember now, yesterday ended last night
Knocked out, out of nowhere a blow
Like you've never seen or known
In monochrome slow-mo you fall to the floor
Never seen this place before
"Oh Lord, all my hope left without making a sound"
Face down, you can't face another round
But he sees you now
We were out our depth
Running out of breath
Assumed there was death round the corner
We were sunk in debt
And with nothing left
It seemed it was almost all over
Now the curtain's torn
Got to sing with soul
He ripped up a hole in the silence
Everything reborn
Got to to sing with soul
He lifted me up out of sickness
When you feel there's no colour
And you know it's not OK
Don't break
Cos everything's starting again
Where did it go? It seems the light's getting dimmer
As I travel from four walls to four wheels and back and back
It's hard not to feel that the breath is being beaten out of me
When I look down will I see rock or sand?

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevenssupported by 4 fans who also own “Colour”
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.

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.

Hi, my name is Tommy and I live in Sweden. I have bought your album. It is innovative and different. But at the same time very good!
