lyrics
the sky's green
it's been that way since they dropped the bomb
the clouds are brown
the city's a ghost town
the city is dead
the river's a bed now
the hair on my head came out, it fell on the ground
none of the sunlight is safe
litter is blowing all around the sidewalk
say you love me now
maybe you will say you love me now
say you love me please say it now that
the sky's green
it's been that way since we lost the war
we looted the store we had to eat something
people are sick
the water is strychnine
i heard about sixty nine hundred people have died
the shelter is hell, it smells like shit
nobody knows how long we're supposed to stay in it
Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
