So You Are Tired 04:49 lyrics buy track So you are tired of us So rest your head Turning back fourteen years Of what I did and said So you are breathing disaster I did what I was told But I was a man born invisible Was it something I said Or some kind of joke? So you are tired as the sun Are you with or without a friend? Bring me back everything Caught in your shield Let everything else descend So you are seething with laughter Was it really all just a joke? I was a man indivisible When everything else was broke So you are tired of even my kiss So go back to your den Throwing out everything Left in your field When there was nothing Left to defend So you are dreaming of after Was it really all just for fun? I was the man still in love with you When I already knew it was done So you are tired of me So rest your head Turning back all that We had in our life While I return to death 8.

There’s A World 02:29 buy track about Over the course of his career, Sufjan Stevens has blurred distinctions between the major and the minor, between the details that color our existence and the big events that frame our lives. He has turned historical footnotes of States into kaleidoscopic pop, and rendered the immeasurable grief of loss with intimacy and grace. His new album ’Javelin’—Sufjan’s first solo album of songs since 2020’s The Ascension and his first in full solo singer-songwriter mode since 2015’s Carrie & Lowell—bridges all these approaches. Sufjan uses the quietness of a solitary confession to ask universal questions in songs we can share communally. Where The Ascension, lauded by The New York Times as a cry of despair and prayer for redemption,” used ornate but urgent electronics to square up to its moment, ’Javelin’ begins more like a self-portrait, detailed yet plain. Yet whether listened to individually or as an album, these 10 songs become something much bigger, the entire experience of Sufjan’s 25-year career expressed in four-minute bursts. Choral, orchestral, and electric wonder: it all shows in ’Javelin’, all of it animating these songs as full spectacles. In each song we hear the vulnerability and candor of quiet starts, then Sufjan raising the stakes. At times, ’Javelin’ has the feel of a big team album production—but it is decidedly not: almost every sound here is the result of Sufjan at home, building by himself what sometimes feels like a testament to classic ’70s Los Angeles studio recording sessions. There are indispensable contributions from a close circle of friends; the harmonies of five singers who afford ’Javelin’ so much frisson: adrienne maree brown, Hannah Cohen, Pauline Delassus, Megan Lui, and Nedelle Torrisi. Bryce Dessner plays acoustic and electric guitar on Shit Talk.” And, of course, Neil Young wrote the tender and mystic closer, There’s a World.” And speaking of the world: there is a permeable sense of world-building imbued in every corner of ’Javelin’, especially in the 48-page book of art and essays that accompanies the album. With a series of meticulous collages, cut-up...
