Tuesday night at the Bible study we lift our hands and pray over your body, but nothing ever happens.
Sufjan StevensOne of my strongest memories is my father playing bongos in the living room in Detroit listening to Motown radio. He was this skinny white bald guy, but he was really moved by blues and Motown and funk.
Sufjan StevensI love kissing. If I could kiss all day, I would. I canโt stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because thereโs no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep. And when you wake up, you canโt stop thinking about kissing. Dammit, I canโt get anything done because Iโm so busy thinking about kissing. Kissing is madness! But itโs absolute paradise, if you can find a good kisser.
Sufjan StevensThe Internet is manic. It's very strange. I don't think it's healthy. They should outlaw posting comments! It's a bummer to go somewhere to get information or buy tickets and you encounter profanity everywhere you go.
Sufjan StevensThe music is the imperative. It has the upper hand. I think all music, even though it's an abstraction, does motivate a particular meaning. Then it's the job of the musician to honor that meaning and to somehow implement lyrical material that can accommodate that emotional environment.
