Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell Lyrics






Carrie and Lowell
Such a long time ago
Like a dead horse
Meadowlark drive your arrow

Season of hope (after the flood)
Valentine, spurn my sorrow
Head on the floorboards (covered in blood)
Drunk as a horsefly
Climb on the mattress pad
Twist my arm

Under the pear tree
Shadows and light conspiring
Covered bridge, I scream
Cottage Grove shade invite me

I will bow down (Dido’s lament)
Lord of the ancient waters
From the backyard (as far as she went)
Carrie surprised me
Erebus on my back
My lucky charm

Carried by stones
Fairyland all around us
Like a dead horse
Sign of your children’s fever

Carrie, come home
(Thorazine’s friend)
Holding your hands with Opai
Like a dead horse
(Shall we ascend)
Flight of the mayfly
Ephemera on my back
She breaks my arm

Sufjan Stevens Carrie & Lowell Comments
  1. K.... F....

    no me canso de hacer mi tarea con esta musica .. me ayuda a concentrarme

  2. b.... f....

    I literally spend my night listening these songs over and over again and the sun is gonna rise

  3. S.... D....

    ' Not for monetary gain', has ads every other song.

  4. A.... t....

    Beautiful

  5. R.... H....

    I really hope that the sequel of 'Call Me By Your Name' motion pictures features more of Sufjan's masterpieces. His participation to the movie's soundtrack helped mold the film into perfection!

    His tones break you inside, but with what would seem just like a tender kiss, and you cant help but cry. Truly a legend. Although I am aware that it is extremely unlikely this comment will come across your gaze, thank you for making me feel these feelings. I love these feelings! 💙

  6. N.... W....

    An opening song so good they made an entire video game around it

  7. N.... A....

    listening to this album is an experience i cannot put to words

  8. S.... N....

    My father died in 2015 and this was the soundtrack to my grief. Today (five years later) I decided to give it a listen again thinking that enough time had passed that maybe I could handle it. Apparently I can't. I was in tears thirty seconds into the first track.

  9. n.... s....

    this entire album is just so beautiful but i literally fell in love with "drawn to the blood"... i just don't know how it happened

  10. F.... ....

    this album is made to please all the heavy hearthed broken souls looking for relief.

    10/10

  11. h.... c....

    Oliver, I don't want you to go.

  12. A.... D....

    Call me by your name🥺

  13. E.... B....

    Este disco es adictivo. Es hermoso, sincero, único...

  14. N.... H....

    I honestly think that Sufjan Stevens is one of the greatest American Artists of all time.

  15. R.... S....

    The best album ever made. !

  16. c.... c....

    Who else prefers Carrie to Lowell?

  17. T.... ....

    I don't think there's a single song on this album that doesn't bring me to tears. This album hits me so hard, after losing my father 10 years ago and now my mother back in '18. This whole album is amazing therapy.. Fourth of July (or I like to say the Sixth of July) hits super close to home, and I'm so thankful I can listen to something that helps convey my feelings. Thank you, Sufjan Stevens.

  18. �.... ....

    Right now it'd be nice to lie down in a field somewhere warm and watch fireflies at night, or clouds in the day, feel the breeze and the sun, look at butterflies, listen to pretty music, feel the grass in my fingers, and play with my kitten. I love you.

  19. V.... S....

    Magic ^_^

  20. F.... G....

    Gothboiclique

  21. t.... h....

    Yall must be outta yo goddamn minds if you don't think "Fourth of July" is the saddest song on this damn album.

  22. C.... Z....

    Sufjan's music is like a chilly spring breeze that makes you shiver but the sun is also hitting you... So you're kind of both chilly and warm? Yeah. Chilly and warm.

  23. M.... W....

    MOTHER’s DAY by MIKE WILSON-!!
    Please check this song out-for your MOTHER’s DAY CELEBRATIONS-!! BLESS!!

  24. T.... H....

    S O F T B O Y W I N T E R

  25. L.... d....

    That was intense, really intense. Well, not really intense, but pretty intense.

  26. P.... S....

    this is about death and birth and family and generations. These are such primal fundamental laws that are hardly ever singed about. Few can get the grandiosty of these things and how simple and natural these cicles at the same time. We hear so much music about citys, parties, relations, drugs and depression that are so complex and so small at the same time ??? Is really refreshing hearing about simple grand things in a beautiful out of this world voice. This album gets me in a state that i rarely tap into, like losing a relative or friend, and wondering about how big simply breathing is and how fundamental it is at the same time, and what do we do with our time.

  27. J.... M....

    my heart is breaking tonight.

  28. M.... W....

    As a good friend of mine once said, "Sufjan Stevens, why do you gotta be so sad all the time?"

    M.... W....

    He's a Cancer

    M.... W....

    @Francie D bit harsh

  29. J.... R....

    a folkier elliott smith. sounds like a fun séance, sufjan. oh, I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts!

  30. Y.... m....

    why is this in the wrong order

  31. H.... K....

    This album is a masterwork. John my Beloved is a favourite.

  32. A.... M....

    Like a rainy sunday looking through the window and seeing the life as a movie. Thank you for this lovely album.

  33. d.... i....

    Is this what heaven sounds like ?

    d.... i....

    Most likely yes.

  34. M.... Z....

    song: "we are all going to die"
    add 1 second later: "I´m fEelinG So aMaziNG aMaziNG!!! :D"

  35. D.... D....

    Dear Sufjan, thank you for touching all our hearts. So many of us feel unseen and unknown in our depths, like no other person has been where we are. And then you go and give us this incredible album as a sort of empathic acknowledgement that although each of us has been down our own individual, unique roads in getting here, we aren't all that different after all. ... Anyway, thanks for this music. It's been a real companion. Peace.

    D.... D....

    Dan Dolderman second that

  36. E.... M....

    You checked your text while I masturbated...

  37. l.... ....

  38. J.... F....

    One of my dearest friends in rehab who ended up killing herself loved this guy. I will never ever fucking forget you Abby.

  39. R.... P....

    how wonderful...

  40. Q.... L....

    I cannot have enough of this album. I find myself being peaceful within the sadness and that hurts but damn so good.

  41. G.... I....

    Damn it, I'm crying.

  42. D.... M....

    Me encanto.

  43. G.... R....

    I am new to this album...I am already hooked, especially to fourth of july!

    G.... R....

  44. E.... W....

    Amazing

  45. m.... n....

    Isn’t it illegal to put ads on this?

  46. i.... d....

    Despite our differences, Sufjan, your music is beautiful--thanks for reminding to write a letter.

  51. M.... G....

    Death of Dignity, soundtrack life is strange 2! Love this! ❤️

    M.... G....

    Actually of Captain Spirit, LIS 2 is not a good game, :(

    M.... G....

    Lucas Gonçalves Yes for Captain Spirit but Life is strange 2 for me is a good game, very emotional! ☺️

  52. D.... ....

    A good word to describe this album would be gleeful sadness

  53. t.... ....

    This record forever haunts me

  54. S.... ....

    Vocal style reminds me of arthur lee a bit...hrm.

  55. A.... A....

    Okay make me cry again you bastard

  56. B.... R....

    Imagine getting called Subaru.

  57. B.... S....

    What have I done to deserve this? Fuck me, I'm falling apart.

  58. T.... S....

    Thinking about an old lover while listening to this, you never really know how much people impact your life until they are no longer in your life. I find this feeling really weird. My life is great now, everything it's amazing and I have a new person in my life but every time I listen to this album I feel like he's taken a part of my life and It's always going to be his. This album is always going to be ours. Idk just felt to share this with someone...

  59. A.... B....

    Why did it take me so long to find this

  60. D.... G....

    Greatest album I ever heard. These songs will rip your heart out.

  61. W.... G....

    thanks god. This album heals me throughout the darkness.

  62. A.... R....

    Cooking and enjoying my dinner alone, enjoying this art and enjoying life at its fullest.. no regrets.. no sadness..only bliss..

  63. B.... ....

    REV UP THOSE CRYERS

  64. E.... F....

    Últimamente me gusta demasiado estar sola. Temo estar entrando a la depresión. Esta música me relaja , calma y acompaña mucho últimamente.

  65. t.... ....

    One of my favourite records of all times. Even if life is big shit sometimes, this music relaxes me and remembers me there's beauty out there. Always.

  66. v.... ....

    Boring!

    v.... ....

    TAKE THAT BACK AND BURN IT

  67. A.... H....

    Such important music.

  68. B.... C....

    He has the nicest voice I have ever heard.

  69. T.... R....

    This is the first thing I've heard in a while that transported me back like 10 years ago when I used to listen to stuff like Grizzly Bear, Iron & Wine, and Fleet Foxes. This is such a nostalgic and beautiful album. <3

  70. Z.... D....

    I got an ad for antidepressants just before All of Me Wants All of You... wow. lol

  71. i.... ....

    Should I tear my eyes out now?
    Everything I see returns to you somehow
    Should I tear my heart out now?
    Everything I feel returns to you somehow

  72. d.... w....

    This music is so inspiring. Album of the year for me.

  73. E.... W....

    2015 was a simpler time where the only thing that sent me into spiraling sadness was this album.

  74. E.... Y....

    This is album of the decade. Change my mind

  75. R.... L....

    There is nothing in the universe which spoils this album; as the voice of that girl in the advert.

  76. m.... ....

    De vez en cuándo un artista pone todo su corazón en un álbum y escuchas algo que crees haber vivido antes :)

  77. P.... �....

  78. T.... K....
