Sufjan Stevens | Casimir Pulaski Day

In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the first of March, on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window All the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes and he takes and he takes

this outro makes me heave

all the glory when He took our place

But He shook my shoulders and He shook my face

Casimir Pulaski Day, Sufjan Stevens // Death of the Firstborn // Slaughter of the Innocents // War Pieta

Happy Casimir Pulaski Day, everyone

cardinals - the wonder years // casimir pulaski day - sufjan stevens

It’s the first Monday of March! This means that I will spend the day celebrating an obscure holiday celebrated by 3% of a country on another continent to me by listening to a song about a child dying of cancer on repeat!

“All the glory when he took our place

But he took my shoulders and he shook my face

And he takes and he takes and he takes”

why is no one talking about the complications you could do without when i kissed u on the mouth???

In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade On the first of March, on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing

All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window

All the glory when He took our place But He took my shoulders and He shook my face And He takes and He takes and He takes

wishing everyone a very happy casimir pulaski day💐💝

This song is worship & you can’t convince me otherwise. The older I get, the more impossible it is to think of an “all-time favorite” song… and yet, this song could so easily be just that.
