lyrics
I'm waiting here and looking up
I'm homesick for somewhere I've never been
I've never even seen
A place too big to understand
But more intimate than I've ever felt
I'll be close to you
They'll be no more pain
No more needless disasters
And stormy nights
This body of skin and bones is not my home
I know I'm a stranger here but I'm not alone
And I'm not here for very long you know
Take me up there
Take me up there
Show me things that'll turn my head upside down
The sun is just an LED
When it's standing next to your great light
Your great light
It's like going from black and white to colour widescreen
Stop and look cos this is heaven
Show me things up high
Take me up there
Take me up there
I'm homesick for somewhere I've never been
I've never even seen
A place too big to understand
But more intimate than I've ever felt
I'll be close to you
They'll be no more pain
No more needless disasters
And stormy nights
This body of skin and bones is not my home
I know I'm a stranger here but I'm not alone
And I'm not here for very long you know
Take me up there
Take me up there
Show me things that'll turn my head upside down
The sun is just an LED
When it's standing next to your great light
Your great light
It's like going from black and white to colour widescreen
Stop and look cos this is heaven
Show me things up high
Take me up there
Take me up there

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevenssupported by 4 fans who also own “Take Me Up”
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!
