Tuesday night at the Bible study we lift our hands and pray over your body, but nothing ever happens.
Sufjan StevensI no longer really have faith in the album anymore. I no longer have faith in the song.
Sufjan StevensI've always been obsessed with electronics and using computers and software. It's always been part of my vernacular.
Sufjan StevensI'm being explicit about really horrifying experiences in my life, but my hope has always been to be responsible as an artist and to avoid indulging in my misery, or to come off as an exhibitionist. I don't want to make the listener complicit in my vulnerable prose poem of depression, I just want to honor the experience. I'm not the victim here, and I'm not seeking other peoples' sympathy. I don't blame my parents, they did the best they could.
