Sufjan Stevens | Everything That Rises

Can you lift me up to a higher place? Forget everything that was before Turn your face around, like a salted sphere Turn yourself around to see what once was there Everything that rises must converge Everything that rises in a word Jesus, lift me up to a higher plane Can you come around, before I go insane? Cast me not in hell while my demons rage Turn yourself around to see what I can say Everything that rises must converge Everything that rises in a word Turn yourself away from the wickedness I said Evil comes to play in the image of the dead Everything rises must converge Everything rises in a word

Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences

Lawrence Weschler

McSweeney’s Books 2006

The first book by Lawrence Weschler I ever read was Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder, which I adored. After that, I read as much by him as I could get my hands on. In retrospect, I probably should have kept my copy of Mr. Wilson’s because I have the feeling that I’m going to want to turn to it again one day. Instead, I kept this book. Basically, this book is a collection of articles, mostly published in McSweeney’s Quarterly and The New Yorker, that have unexpected connections running through them.

Sufjan Stevens · Song · 2023

Life´s too short for weird music - Tagesempfehlung 18.11.2023

Album of the week: Sufjan Stevens / Javelin

Track: Everything that rises

Mit Javelin veröffentlicht Sufjan Stevens bereits das zweite Album in 2023 (nach dem Klassik – Piano Album Reflections). Und mit Javelin kehrt Sufjan Stevens nach einigen durchaus experimentelleren Album wieder zurück zu gewohnten Soundmustern aus der Carrie and Lowell Phase (2015). Javelin ist allerdings weniger akustisch ausgerichtet und der Schwerpunkt der 10 Songs dürfte eher im klassischen Pop den im Folk liegen. Vielleicht liegt die Rückbesinnung auf klassisches Material auch in der scheren Auto-Immun Erkrankung begründet, welche Sufjan Stevens leider gerade durchlebt. Javelin ist jedenfalls gerade in der herbstliche/winterlichen Zeit sehr gut zu hören und der Umstand , dass der sonst so experimentierfreudige Sujan Stevens dieses Mal seine Hörer*innen nicht vor Herausforderungen stellt, ist eher positiv. Denn die klassischen Stevens-Sounds sind alles andere als angestaubt oder in die Jahre gekommen. Aus Javelinheute Everything that rises.
