lover, will you look at me now?
I’m already dead,
but I’ve come to explain why I left such a mess on the floor
“Lost in the World”, Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine / Q Train, Nigel Van Wieck
Lovely instrumentals on this memorable song. I heard this on a local independent radio station and had to look the artist up, especially with lyrics like these:
We are awakened with the axe
Night of the living dead at last
They have begun to shake the dirt
Wiping their shoulders from the earth
I know, I know the nations past
I know, I know they rust at last
They tremble with the nervous thought
Of having been, at last, forgot

Carrie and Lowell Drawing Because I’m Having a Sufjan Stevens Meltdown
it’s just a stream of consciousness so don’t look deeply into it. it’s like, there’s a line about cigarettes so i drew a cigarette, etc. –– it’s how i visualize the album.
i need to get a life, get a life, get a life, get a life

Christmas Unicorn
Inspired by Sufjan Steven’s unique Christmas anthem, “Christmas Unicorn.”
_______________________________________________________________
I’m a Christmas Unicorn, in a uniform made of gold
With a billy-goat beard, and a sorcerer’s shield, and mistletoe on my nose
Oh, I’m a Christian holiday, I’m a symbol of original sin
I’ve a pagan tree, and a magical wreath, and bow-tie on my chin
Oh, I’m a pagan heresy, I’m a tragic-al Catholic shrine
I’m a little bit shy, with a lazy eye, and a penchant for sublime
Oh, I’m a mystical apostasy, I’m a horse with a fantasy twist
Though I play all night, with my magical kite, people say I don’t exist
For I make no full apology for the category I reside
I’m a mythical mess, with a treasury chest, I’m a construct of your mind
Oh, I’m hysterically American, I’ve a credit card on my wrist
And I have no home, or a field to roam, I will curse you with my kiss
Oh, I’m a criminal pathology with a history of medical care
I’m a frantic shopper, and a brave pill popper, and they say my kind are rare
But I’ve seen others in the uniform of a unicorn just like me
We are legions wide, and we choose no sides, we are masters of mystique
For you’re a Christmas Unicorn, I have seen you on the beat
You may dress in the human uniform, child… But I know you’re just like me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
I’m the Christmas Unicorn
You’re the Christmas Unicorn too
I’m the Christmas Unicorn
(Find the Christmas Unicorn)
You’re the Christmas Unicorn too
(It’s all right, I love you)
Love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, my friend.

Peace.
It’s hard to do anything when your country wages war on your neighbors, but making art does make me feel a little better.
This may sound a little fatalistic, but I’m comforted by the fact that everyone is equal in death, presidents included.
(The quote’s from Sufjan Stevens.)
