Sufjan Stevens - For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti Lyrics

And I would love to be the one to walk you home... <3

How many times this banjo saved me, bruh I lost the count

The OC - nothing else.

Only heard of Sufjan because of Call me by your name, but I had no idea his song was on the OC 😍 so special!

I dont much care for the twee kinda singing here but these instrumentations are really good

Ideal Home is such a good movie ♥

1:48 to 2:30 <3

Wait? holy shit. Did this dude rip off Sufjan!? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB8eK2dCwK8

this was our song and I'll never forget it. I'll never forget you.

Honestly I went to Michigan because of this song and I’m writing this at 2:30am sitting at portage point looking over the water if you don’t believe me look at my insta @stanced_kdm thank you for showing me this great state I might just have to move up here.

this is the only Song that makes me think its ok ,THANK YOU

真希望能早點發現這首歌。

YAKOKE, thank YOU✌🌼🎶

I'm binging on this tune AGAIN:)

Ideal Home . . . anyone ?

Dillon, if you ever find me in the comments after you put this in the playlist you made. I want you to know you're the most pure and wholesome person I've ever met,
You're buddy,

My boyfriend is a major Sufjan fan, and this was the very first song he had me listen to. It's still my favorite. This whole album was magical.

Anyone hear from the movie ideal home!?

@Ms Peggy Lee it was in amazing movie right

this is the only song that I let the banjo be

Me too....except the one I've performed With, Lol

Thank you ideal home

Johnny had a more emotional side which Marissa needed and wasn’t getting it from Ryan. Ryan was a good boyfriend but not the kind Marissa needed tbh. She needed someone to stay up all night and talk about their feelings. Ryan would just want to go to sleep probably looking forward to his morning coffee lol

johnny :(

Still binge watching the OC

Beautiful 💚

Ideal Home (2018)

2019 ve ben hala THE OC’yi özlüyorum 😢

The oc 3x15 :(

Such a good song. I just saw some folks covering it and had to listen to it as soon as I could. Great song!

I learned how to play this on the banjo before I heard the original. I love it

I'm tripping on the banjo in this tune ❤🎶❤

I'm back! Still tripping on banjo

Ideal Home. Great scene/montage. Beautiful song.

Ideal home brought me here hayy, I really fucking love the movie

*IDEAL HOME*

I hear nothing religious in this. Only beautiful love in a Family .

Spent such a looong time trying to remember the name of this song... I didn’t have a name or a band to remember, just the sounds. I’m glad my search had finally come to an end

When I hear this song, I imagine this one child marching down the street in protest and everyone in the neighborhood slowly follows her.

Cringe.

Found this at the end of the movie Ideal Home. I went to college in Ypsilanti. ♥

So there's this guy... I love him so much... but he forgot me... because he forgot himself... he forgot us. Now I am no one. Nothing. No where.

What's her name?

Memories of listening to sufjan while driving around my hometown Morro Bay in the 2000's, brought me here.

Came here via 'Walk You Home' by Horrorshow. Overjoyed to discover this.

Ideal Home (2018) brought me here! Beautiful and sublime.

from #idealhome. great work :)

having a broken heart keeps bringing me back here. not a fucking tv soap opera smh at least it did feature/introduce younger people to some good songs

Ideal home brought me here

Ideal home brought me here! Such a gd song

Same here. Great song!

Same!! 😂

ya but how hard was it to figure out it was this song? ...it took me like 30 mins to remember the opening lyric then i found it.

Me also great song

Andrew Halliday Music I just used Shazam

Ideal Life ❤

sufjan legend

Bella, bella la canción gracias a The O.C. tuve la dicha de escucharla

The OC forever

I did everything for u ❤️

R.I.P Jhonny

I have lived in Ypsilanti, Michigan for the past 6 years! Not only is this one of my favorites, but I feel like it honors Ypsilanti well.

This song is about religion, yes. But it is just as much about delusion. " The three Christs of Ypsilanti" by Milton Rokeach is about three people in a mental institution in Ypsilanti, Michigan, of which all believe that they are Jesus Christ. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Christs_of_Ypsilanti

I've always felt this song was the Earth speaking to her inhabitants. She continues to give everything she can, even now.

Ypsilanti represent! Its doing a bit better as a city now. But this song isnt that related to the city anyway

Currently live in Ypsi, I hate it but kind of love it. It can be so bleak and depressing sometimes but there is always something beautiful behind it all.

I need you again, O.C...

Rip jhonni harper

I watched the oc and I don't remember oooh... Johnny.. Meh I don't care hahah

YPSI REPRESENT!!!!

RIP LAFAYETTE BUILDING

Living in Ypsi, this song just feels like it really belongs to the city. I don't know how to describe it.

So sweet

The Tin Box Boys ❤

Rip Johnny. He was such a sweet person. Ryan was with Marissa and was an amazing boyfriend but at the same time I feel bad for Johnny. He could've been a great man for Marissa as well. Not everything is always black and white.

It's true, I think that in the series if they had made Marissa realize before her feelings for Johnny he would not have died.

Johnny had a more emotional side which Marissa needed and wasn’t getting it from Ryan. Ryan was a good boyfriend but not the kind Marissa needed tbh. She needed someone to stay up all night and talk about their feelings. Ryan would just want to go to sleep probably looking forward to his morning coffee lol

She said she doesn't believe in regrets

i may actually miss this place

2017 listening. Miss u marissa cooper!!🐣

Thank you Newport Beach for 1,5 millions viewers

Im doing this song in a East side story guild (Esg) preformence and we do religious plays (even though I'm not religious myself) and when we where all rehearsing the singing of this song and our music director said that there's nothing more beautiful than children singing with meaning behind the words and i did just that, i even cried. thank you

I really love this song. OC I miss you!

Im amazed

Johnny's funeral - The O.C.

The OC brought me here, awesome song, thank you!

If we ever make a mess, I'll do anything for you.

Can Bonomo brought me here hehe

I'm Glad That Johnny Died. I'm Sorry. I Didn't Like Him. But This Song It's Hella Good

GTA Five I agree he was annoying

GTA Five lmfaoo

Good song and I'm glad too. He was annoying and I don't know why Marissa started to fall in love with him.

Joni Halenius He was cool... I liked him

Re watching the oc again thought I was the only one who didnt like Johnny he should have went to kaitlin

R.I.P JOHNNY 😔😭

"If you have a father or if you haven't one, I'll do anything for you."

not religious, made me cry.

herpderp i'm not religious so i'll tell people i'm not religious so people don't make the crucial, crucial mistake of assuming i'm religious. honestly, fuck you. no one cares who you are or what you believe; if you appreciate the song, that's fucking fantastic, but why is the importance of informing other people who may see your comments such a big deal to you? i get it, it's an amazing thing to like something that contrasts to your own personal roots, oh wait, no it isn't, people have been doing that for centuries and now suddenly it's an extremely important thing for youtubers to put mini-bios in their comments.

Joel Spiers Calm down.

@Joel Spiers cool story bro

@Joel Spiers you write a novel bitching about mini bios. get real.

Music makes me cry if I'm on my period. It's so annoying. I cried when they started singing "I did everything for you."

the OC tho

the O.C

Who is Johnny and what the fuck is the OC

Sentrydown fucking normies ruin daddy sufjan RreeEeeeee

Sentrydown orange County - an old show

I looked for it and is a northamerican series.

It's a teen drama, ended years ago. Jonny was a character on the show.

fuck knows. same fuckers who probably go on beach boys music and scream "SHAMY"

one of my faves of this album, I love this song 🍂🍁🍃

I should not listen to this during my lunch hour. It makes me cry everytime I hear this. I just can't help it. For a religeous song like this to set me off, a staunch atheist, really says something about the emotion in this piece. I absolutely love it but damn I'd like to hear it without welling up!

I actually heard this in a homemade porn from xtube. I ain't even trolling.

habbogigi lol that's awesome

I'M NOT BRAVE!!

FUCK JOHNNY YOU MUJTAFAKA SCH

Johnny 😢

Who's Johnny?

From "The O.C"...

Just watched the episode 😢😢

hahahahahahaha isso mesmo!

I like these songs but I swear the lyrics never make a bit of sense

Sure they do. This song is about the fatherless/orphans (the world) who don't know who their Father is, and the widows are the brides who don't know who they themselves are. The lyrics of this song are told from God's perspective to the lost people of the world.

Yeah, it's a pretty clear meaning in the song I think. I'm not the least bit religeous but this song just absolutely eats me up and makes me cry. One minute I'm listening to Kyuss and I'm fine and this comes on random and makes me well up every time. I get all kinds of physical feelings from music I love but this just makes my eyes fill up. Beautiful song.

That French horn tho....

R I P JOHNNY

Fuck the O.C. That flaky shit doesn't belong anywhere near Sufjan's music.

Gosh, I love this

R.I.P Jonny

The oc :)

I covered this on my channel!! I did, ya know, a pretty all right job... Check it out!

+Dominic Bennett hey man your cover its so cool!!
