Sufjan Stevens - City Of Roses Lyrics

Hey,I want to use this song for my fashion clip, who can I contact with, please give me contact, tks !

your songs are beautiful, and i don't use the term lightly either i genuinely mean it not that my opinion should matter to you anyway

I love the auto tune so much, it sounds so good

I don't know what you mean... If there's anything on the vocals it will be Melodyne, not autotune.

This is so Beatles.

This song is my favorite Sufjan song... something just strikes a cord with me

Sufjan's voice is too good.

This + Holland + Mystery of love = perfect afternoon

A break in the clouds is a break in my day
Face the sun of my salvation
As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate
Fly by the wings of your creation

On the top of your head, there is a poem
The thought in my head, oh God only knows
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

It's a little-known fact that I can't cope
I'm the champion of repression
I've had it enough with the east coast
I'll die by the wings of my ambition

The city I left, the city of throes
The one that I loved, the city of hope
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

A break in the clouds is a break in my day

[Verse 1]
A break in the clouds is a break in my day
Face the sun of my salvation
As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate
Fly by the wings of your creation

[Chorus 1]
On the top of your head, there is a poem
The thought in my head, oh God only knows
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

[Verse 2]
It's a little-known fact that I can't cope
I’m the champion of repression
I've had it enough with the east coast
I'll die by the wings of my ambition

[Chorus 2]
The city I left, the city of throes
The one that I loved, the city of hope
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

A break in the clouds is a break in my day

Please keep it this way. No, not even one negative comment in this section... Sufjan fans are the best.

Gosh I've been going through such a weird time of positivity and depression. This song just adds to it. I can't even explain any of it but I've been going through a whole self discover for like the third time and my artwork is getting better and I just feel so hopeless but somewhat happy at the same time. Don't know how long it'll last but it's great

Sufjan songs are perfect and marvellous😊

Your comments about getting older are resonating so much with me right now. I get it, Suf. Much love.

This is the one. the song.

Sufjan Stevens simply does it his way. After the triumph of "Carrie and Lowell," you'd think he'd gather his best new eggs into a basket for his "Out of Time," his breakthrough album catapulting him into the mainstream, but no. He's allergic to the mainstream and instead randomly leaks a few songs at a time, none of them less than lush, mysterious, compelling, and beautiful.

Why feel so much positivity? Hahaha..............

Nikhil Rajbhar I also feel like that listen to this wonderful song

Oh, Subaru. My love ❤

Thank you so much

Life is good when there's a new song by Suf.

Laura Berkholtz yes I also agree!! I feel much better now 😌

The Champion of repression has returned!

Best Thanksgiving ever, 3 new Sufjan songs!

song for Portland. ♥

theory: this is a musical precursor to sufjan's next album, coming in 2022, titled "cowboy suf takes on texas"

oh yes please

Carrie & Lowell combined with the cut songs from this album, Mystery of Love(it references a place in oregon in it), Tonya Harding, and Exploding Whale would make the complete Oregon album

fuck me up, soof

this one is great!

TALENTED, BRILLIANT, INCREDIBLE, AMAZING, SHOW STOPPING, SPECTACULAR i love this song

Never been so early on a Suf song. Have a blessed day friends.

I feel the same way. You too!

I am blessed 🌟

Oh fuck
