Feels like now I'm stuck in a furnace
Don't know what the concern is
Without you, love, I'm gasping into an open stove
Something tells me, something tells me
Send someone to see me off the
Wishing well, my little wishing well
And when I fell down, down, down
Into a living hell, a little kiss-and-tell
That dealt a round, round, round, round
'Till I lost and found you on the
Wishing well
Wishing well, oh no
My wishing well
Wishing well uh oh no
Oh by god, I'm out in the storm again
Don't know when I'll perform again
Without you, love, I'm making toast in an open tub
Something tells me, something tells me
Send someone to see me off the
Wishing well, my little wishing well
And when I fell down, down, down
Into a living hell, a little kiss-and-tell
That dealt a round, round, round, round
'Till I lost and found you on the
Wishing well
Wishing well, oh no
My wishing well
Wishing well uh oh no
Send someone to see me off the
Wishing well, my little wishing well
And when I fell down, down, down
Into a living hell, a little kiss-and-tell
That dealt a round, round, round, round
'Till I lost and found you on the
Wishing well
Wishing well, oh no
My wishing well
Wishing well uh oh no
My favorite part is how the themes and symbols that connect each song together, it feels very cohesive and well thought out! Please give this album a listen, it’s one of my favorites right now <3 rhibread
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.
