lyrics
When I got there I saw I could hardly hold my breath
Had my best velcroes but I could hardly take a step
And I saw your name; it was written on his hand
Saw your daisy chain couldn't believe that you were found
So we asked around about this amazing crazy place
Even better than the largest Lego town we made
We were thinking of Moscow State Circus in the Glen
But this big top sky was a colour I'd never seen
Oh does anyone believe love?
Have they all just grown up and seriously forgot?
When we got there each sound was a mini symphony
He gave you your recorder and you turned and smiled at me
We were in no rush so we took it kind of slow
We just walked; it was a nice night after all
We remembered our old dens and shelters in the woods
We were pretty sure we had found shelter from the rain
Then we saw him, saw his glory over there
He's come to take us home, don't be scared, he'll take us home
Oh does anyone believe love?
Have they all just grown up and seriously forgot?
We were in love
We were in love when we got there
Had my best velcroes but I could hardly take a step
And I saw your name; it was written on his hand
Saw your daisy chain couldn't believe that you were found
So we asked around about this amazing crazy place
Even better than the largest Lego town we made
We were thinking of Moscow State Circus in the Glen
But this big top sky was a colour I'd never seen
Oh does anyone believe love?
Have they all just grown up and seriously forgot?
When we got there each sound was a mini symphony
He gave you your recorder and you turned and smiled at me
We were in no rush so we took it kind of slow
We just walked; it was a nice night after all
We remembered our old dens and shelters in the woods
We were pretty sure we had found shelter from the rain
Then we saw him, saw his glory over there
He's come to take us home, don't be scared, he'll take us home
Oh does anyone believe love?
Have they all just grown up and seriously forgot?
We were in love
We were in love when we got there

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevenssupported by 4 fans who also own “When We Got There”
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.
