Diamond Drill

Grab your diamond Drill and come with me
Moon living is a lonely life
Don’t bother, calling your old friends
They’ll only get mad at you
For never staying in the same place
When you look up on the three moons
Maybe they’ll be thinking
That nothing ever stays the same
Nothing ever stays the same
As much as it kills me to say it
As much as I like things now
Everyone I know, will either move away or die
It’s a lonely life

Satellite Moon
02:23
|

|
Sunlight coming and I rake it up
On the winds of the satellite moon
I make gold then I mess it up
On the winds of the satellite moon
I never said it would be this easy
You were wasting your light out on me
I never said anything
Holy shit I feel like giving up
On the winds of the satellite moon
Little prince comes won’t you shake it up
On the winds of the satellite moon
On the winds, on the winds
On the winds of the satellite moon
Come and fake it, come and know it
Overrated
Oh no winds again and a terrified man
And you wait in the shade
Won’t you trail, won’t you trail on
Sunlight coming and you pack it up
On the winds of the satellite moon
Transport coming and you break it off
On the winds of the satellite moon

Maureen's
03:39
|

And it came, like they warned
A fog rolled over thousands of homes
All at once, I thought of you
Wasted time
I wonder where you live now
Did you find, the highest ground
The clean air will keep you breathing
My luck here, keeps changing
And your parents, they never left
There’s nothing familiar here now
I go back to check for signs
Remember Maureen’s, in the summer time
Everything you know is wasted
Nothing left to go back for now
Doesn’t mean you need
To give up so soon on me
Then I’ll find, an endless spring
Where clouds give way, to new born sons
I will find you , waiting there
Bathed in light, but out of reach

Little Wishes
04:18
|

|
The littlest house on the beach
We made with littlest stones, gathered beneath
The shadiest pines, and the coolest breeze
There’s so much time, to build these things
When you still love me
You say that I’m not myself
I know I’ve changed
Switch me with someone else
It would be a boring day on the beach
I wait for the night, to set my flares
Then I point them to sky and hope you’d be there
A flicker of light, neon stretches water
There’s no more time, to build this shelter
Just love me again
Just love me again
Just love me again

Trap Door
03:36
|
|||
|
Don’t shut the trapdoor
I’m getting home late again
Been looking for old friends
Been looking for anything
It’s what you make of it
Not what you need
You gonna lose your mind
When you stop taking care of me
And when you give it all away again
Give a little bit back to me
When you give it all away again
Save just a little for me

Dark Shores
03:15
|
|||
|
Minerals formed by the rain
Whispers echo deep inside the cave
On an ice moon where all our fathers’ live
We’ll go there to find some rest
I spent most of my life
Wandering in the wasted hours
I spent most of my life
Wandering in the wasted hours
Storm clouds gather around our heads
Black birds circle waiting to be fed
I’ll build a house on these dark shores
Past lives won’t bother anymore
They won’t find me here
(I spent most of my life, wandering in the wasted hours)

Last Grains
02:58
|
|||
|
Remember when the banks were open
Remember when our money was good
Now we live in basements hiding underneath cellar wood
Trapdoor near the closet, holding our last grains
Water in the back sink, all that we got remains
Oh, its impossible, it’s impossible to leave
But we can’t stay here
Oh, its impossible, it’s impossible to leave
But we can’t stay here
My wife and I keep fighting
She keeps yelling at me
It’s still just the little things
that get caught in between
The kids are disappointed
The neighbors have already left
It’s hard to admit to them
That their dad is just this scared
Oh, its impossible, its impossible to leave
But we can’t stay here
Oh, its impossible, its impossible to leave
But we can’t stay here
All the time I spent with you complaining
About how much little money we had to spend
I should’ve just taken you on vacation when I could
Now its impossible to live right here
It’s impossible to live right here

Spacestations

Welcome to my new spacestation
Stay as long as you like, its a sad vocation
And you leave me standing on top, of the earth
I realize it just won’t work
And you leave me standing out in the cold
Telling everybody that I just don’t know
You wait just a little, wait just a little
You wait just a little too long
You wait just a little, wait just a little
you wait just a little too long
Why you gonna leave me stranded up here
Why you gonna leave me stranded up here
Why you gonna leave me stranded up here
When the sunlight gets chased away
The sunlight gets chased away
The sunlight gets chased away
Welcome to my next, big decision (repeat)

Hard To Be Young
03:20
|
|||
|
It began, it was a beautiful day
Two Hands, Two Feet
We grabbed everything, we liked to eat
You grabbed the crackers, I grabbed the pop
We found a tree, then we shut up
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Then it was night, we heard the sound of machines
You started crying, I cracked another pop
There was screeching and searching
Screeching and searching
They’re looking for us
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
It’s a window, a window, a window, a window
So we left, our wonderful tree
Two hands, Two feet
And the searchlights found both of us
You went first, I started to run
It’s a lonely time to be young
It’s a lonely time
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s hard to fight, when you’re against machines
Cornfields, Indiana breeze
It’s a window...(repeat)
Two hands, Two Feet (repeat)

Sleeping Pills
02:31
|

|
Broken towns, and radio tones
Are what I see and hear throughout the day
I wait for you, to come back to
The sleeping pills should be wearing off soon
I get along with you, because its easy to
And everyday is better than the last
I wasn’t trying to, make you mad at me
Just come inside and remove your mask
They said soon, we can head back east
They’re making trails through soot and sand
I promise you, not to get so sad
I’m just trying to protect what I have left
I get along with you, because its easy to
And everyday is better than the last
I wasn’t trying to, make you mad at me
Just come inside and remove your mask
The haze is slowly settling in
The trail is growing dim
Dark Shores are creeping in
Will you soldier on with me

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens
supported by 32 fans who also own “Dark Shores”
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.

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe.
