This I know
For Bacchus we kissed
and we hid in our wistful youth
Now we've grown
With fruit here we bear
Our leaves the don't dare to wilt
Dark ropes climb this mast
That seldom will last
We were doomed from the start
Doomed from the start
We fell from this grace
Wrong course set to chase
We were doomed from the start
This I know
For Bacchus we kissed
and we hid in our wistful youth
Now we've grown
With fruit here we bear
Our leaves the don't dare to wilt
And though this harvest surpassed
the hopes held in hearts
The rain failed to fall
The rain failed to fall
Though we scorched the land
Our mistakes held in hand
We failed to fall
For Bacchus we kissed
and we hid in our wistful youth
With fruit here we bear
Our leaves the don't dare to wilt
This I know
For Bacchus we kissed
and we hid in our wistful youth
Now we've grown
With fruit here we bear
Our leaves the don't dare to wilt
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. Angkasawan
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
