Sufjan Stevens - Death With Dignity (Helado Negro Remix) Lyrics






Spirit of my silence I can hear you
But I'm afraid to be near you
And I don't know where to begin
And I don't know where to begin

Somewhere in the desert there's a forest
And an acre before us
But I don't know where to begin
But I don't know where to begin
Again I've lost my strength completely, oh be near me
Tired old mare with the wind in your hair

Amethyst and flowers on the table, is it real or a fable?
Well I suppose a friend is a friend
And we all know how this will end

Chimney swift that finds me, be my keeper
Silhouette of the cedar
What is that song you sing for the dead?
What is that song you sing for the dead?
I see the signal searchlight strike me in the window of my room
Well I got nothing to prove
Well I got nothing to prove

I forgive you, mother, I can hear you
And I long to be near you
But every road leads to an end
Yes every road leads to an end
Your apparition passes through me in the willows
Five red hens - you'll never see us again
You'll never see us again

    There's no better remix to any song. I have never listened to any song more beautiful with a title that has death in it.🌼

    Every time I listen to this song it catches me off guard and takes me to a transformative place of joy!

    I really and truly think carrie & lowell, and this song in particular, will go down as a classic and a revered masterpiece of folk music to be enjoyed, covered, and emulated for many years to come. at the very least it certainly has cemented its place in my heart.

    As well as in mine. This album helped me through my depression and the relationship with myself and my awful, dying father. Sufjan Stevens, its no understatement, is among those that have saved my life. And I am sure that I am not the only one...

    A beautiful prophecy.

    Thank you for all these!

    The first time I listened to this version was in the car a couple days ago on my way to my mother's house. She lives in rural Georgia with my stepdad; the trees were mostly bare, others were relishing in their seasonal beauty. Like revisiting an old photo album, I was placed directly back in my childhood - I remember the placement of some trees and roads, sitting in the back seat with my parents listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, driving to my grandparents house. Thinking about how blessed I am to have these memories of my loving father (and how I didn't recognize this nearly as I should of in my youth) and how despite everything, my mother still loves me unconditionally. Thank you for this wonderful version. I can't help tear up every time I hear it.

    I love the original, but I love this version, too!

    This is probably my favorite of all the remixes--the ending is so hauntingly resonant.
