Sufjan Stevens - Star Of Wonder Lyrics






I call you
From the comet's cradle
I found you
Trembling by yourself
When the night falls
Lightly on your right-wing shoulder
Wonderful know-it-all
Slightly where the night gets colder

Oh, conscience,
Where will you carry me?
I found you
Star of terrifying effigies
When the night falls
I carry myself to the fortress
Of your glorious cost
Oh, I may seek your fortress

When the night falls
We see the star of wonder
Wonderful night falls
We see you
We see you

I see the stars coming down there
Coming down there to the yard
I see the stars coming down there
Coming down there to my heart

    This song is absolutely beautiful. So glad E-Dubble introduced me to this gem!

    H.... ....

    Hows it going

  12. N.... P....

    Aesop Rock brought me here, and I just learnt that E-Dubble has a version for this tune!!

    k.... r....

    ..and again! Where you at playaaa!?

  14. J.... G....

    I heard this once on the radio. It haunted me for 2 years not knowing the artist,s name or title. Finally found it on line.

    J.... G....

    two years without sufjan? chilling.

    J.... G....

    Em Wiebe he said he didn’t know who it was so yeah he didn’t listen for 2 years

    J.... G....

    That's so satisfying to hear

    J.... G....

    @Elongated Muskrat lol

  15. N.... R....

    Your video description is SO refreshing and filled with the simple, beautiful Spirit of Jesus. He is a real hope to us, through faith, and was real salvation to those wise men, who overcame their doubts and the hardships of the desert through faith too. How blessed that we have been given a Lord to find, Who has delivered us from all of our sins.

    N.... R....

    No doubt.

  16. W.... A....

    If our minds are actors in the unified collective of existents, then it seems that, given our power of self-reflection, we would be able to discover the basic, fundamental Principal underlying all of reality. The basic Principal that holds a star in existence is the same for our consciousness.

    Our consciousness, as a manifestation of the most basic Principal of reality, is most probably a reflection of that Principal through the inter-workings of fundamentally simple to complex physical systems. We are conscious matter and matter is conscious.

    God exists.

  17. O.... ....

    Soofjans

  18. D.... P....

    is there a version of this without the awful electronic noises in between? It would be amazing without it.

    D.... P....

    Dresden Peppers Awful electronic noises?

    D.... P....

    Dresden Peppers try edubble cold stars its another version of this

    D.... P....

    I FEEL THE SAME WAY. I was actually looking to see if someone commented this😂 I noticed that there are quite a few songs by sufjan that I would love even more with out some one the noises he puts in. I respect his decision, but sometimes there is just too much noise going on that takes away from the piece. Sometimes less is more. I wanna hear more of his voice and acoustic instruments. Now Carrie and Lowell was that perfect medium for it.

    D.... P....

    You sound like my lame nerdy friend Phil who's 20 but acts like he's 80 and knows absolutely nothing about music or art

    D.... P....

    thats sufjans style, if you dont like it dont listen

  19. r.... ....

    are you Matthew Wiley from TO?

    r.... ....

    renegadelove3 TO? Not sure what that stands for. My middle name is Keenan if that helps.

    r.... ....

    If you were the Matthew Wiley I know, then you would know that means Toronto :)

    r.... ....

    renegadelove3 That was my guess, but I wasn't sure. ;)
    And yeah I live in Oregon so not that guy.
    And what's up with there being more than one Matthew Wiley?
    There can be only one, lol

  20. R.... #....

    mágico

  21. D.... ....

    still remember driving around town in the snow looking at all the Christmas lights with my first love. heaaart wrenching.

    D.... ....

    Where perfection is, there too is reality.

    D.... ....

    Omg same. I miss my first boyfriend even though we would have never worked.

  22. S.... ....

    Beautiful piece.

  23. J.... H....

    Guide us to thy Perfect Light!  Lead us to the Child in the manger, we will bring our gifts to Him.  I know the gift He wants the most right now is you and me.

  24. A.... A....

    I think it's
    "I carry myself to the fortress
    of your glorious cause"

  25. z.... ....

    e-dubble: Cold stars

    z.... ....

    zunn66 same

    z.... ....

    What do you mean same he’s saying this is the same sound as that other song

    z.... ....

    @5,000 Subscribers With No Videos no, you dumbass, he's saying where he heard this song from.

  26. A.... A....

    this is one of my favorite songs.... "Oh conscience, where will you carry me? I found you, star of terrifying effigies." ....  man i love Sufjan Stevens. 

    A.... A....

    That's my favorite line too.

  27. T.... L....

    love sufjan stevens! Can't believe i didn't hear this gem till now. what was wrong with me >D<

  28. L.... P....

    For those of you that are fans of Aesop Rock, please check out the mix of this song and Aesop's None Shall Pass, off of the "Illinoize Remix Mixtape"... sounds amazing mixed together.

    L.... P....

    Loh Pro yeah it does. That's why I'm here now lol

    L.... P....

    A fellow man of taste

  29. S.... ....

    e dubble version is better

    S.... ....

    It really isn't even a contest. Sufjan transcends. e-dubble is just a rapper.

    S.... ....

    This original song is a Christian piece so obviously not everyone is gonna feel touched by it. E dubble made it work as a sick beat and made cool song.

    S.... ....

    SuperOriginalName I'm not a Christian and I'm touched by it...

    S.... ....

    different types of music personally i prefer this version.

    S.... ....

    Aw nice one kiddo, you tried to make a joke

  30. A.... f....

    I sang this song in my school's choir last year. And from the beginning I fell in love with this song.

  31. d.... ....

    The true beauty of stars is that everyone thinks about something different from looking at the same source of light.

  32. m.... c....

    Now that ive heard this, I can see where e-dubbles cold stars came from. this song makes me feel uplifted, and cold stars makes me feel alive. I am happy to have found this.

  33. S.... Y....

    the one hater that put a dislike to this video can listen to mainstream music and listen to vain music like the rest.

  34. A.... J....

    Yes, cold stars is fantastic. I personally like it better than this, but to each there own.

  35. B.... ....

    E-dubble: cold stars. Tell me if the song sounds familiar, but check him out anyway cuz he deserves to be more famous then he is right now.

    B.... ....

  36. K.... C....

    you're very welcome :) yes, it's always good to remember that we're not alone and i figure that whatever, or whoever, is behind the beauty of the stars and the heavens must be, well, beautiful ;) blessings to you :)

  37. s.... ....

    thanks for your thorough description! such a great reminder that there is something higher and larger than us...and that creation is both the HEAVENS and the earth. simply beautiful and awe-inspiring. hehe blasting this song on repeat got my 14 yr old bro into Sufjan.

  38. J.... ....

    Thank you E-dubble!

  39. x.... ....

    e-dubble <3

  40. m.... ....

  42. K.... C....

    @AdamNoAnts thanks :) and you're welcome. :) i'm glad you enjoyed it :)

  43. K.... C....

    @snowysquirrels yeah, I really appreciate Sufjan Stevens syle of music. I don't always comprehend all of his lyrics, but that lends an air of mystery to some of his songs, especially this one :)

    Yes, I'm looking forward to spring and summer, when it warms up again, so I can start going out at night with my faithful companion, Shasta. :)

  44. K.... C....
