lyrics

MY LITTLE BROTHER
NEVER GOT CAUGHT
HE COULD SLIP THROUGH YOUR LIFE
LIKE A SUBLIMINAL THOUGHT

HE COULD PLAY THE GUITAR
LIKE HE WAS PAINTING A SHROUD
HE COULD MAKE A MOTHER GUILTY
AND A MURDERER PROUD

AND I TRIED TO SAVE HIS LIFE
YOU CAN GIVE US GLOVES MY FRIEND
YOU CAN'T MAKE US FIGHT

WHEN HE SANG AT MY WEDDING
HE MADE THE SHUTTLE EXPLODE
AT THE END OF THE WAR
HE BROKE THE ENEMY CODE

I TOOK HIM BACK TO THE COUNTRY
WHERE OUR FAMILY IS FROM
HE TOOK THE GOVERNMENT DOWN
AND MADE THE CARDINAL COME

HE KEPT A FEW SECRETS
HE MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES
BUT HE NEVER BROKE A PROMISE
THAT HE COULDN'T REPLACE

MY LITTLE BROTHER

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 24 fans who also own “My Little Brother”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
