Blue
Sufjan Stevens Lyrics


One, two, three

My blue bucket of gold
Friend, why don't you love me?
Once the myth has been told
The lens deforms it as lightning

Raise your right hand
Tell me you want me in your life
Or raise your red flag
Just when I want you in my life

Search for things to extol
Friend, the fables delight me
My blue bucket of gold
Lord, touch me with lightning

Raise your right hand
Tell me you want me in your life
Or raise your red flag
Just when I want you in my life

One, two, three
My blue bucket of gold
Friend, why don’t you love me?
Once the myth has been told
The lens deforms it as lightning
Raise your right hand
Tell me you want me in your life
Or raise your red flag
Just when I want you in my life
Search for things to extol
Friend, the fables delight me
My blue bucket of gold
Lord, touch me with lightning
Raise your right hand
Tell me you want me in your life
Or raise your red flag
Just when I want you in my life

This song reminds me of home. For the past week before moving I’d listen to Sufjan Stevens sitting in my old childhood room.

I currently live somewhere I hate, I listen to this music to remind me of being home again.

Honestly I didn’t know leaving some places can cause so much heartbreak it’s almost feels like losing a close friend or a lover.


A few months before I moved my fiancé broke up with me, so honestly moving felt like a part of me was dying on the inside.

Sorry if this sounded depressing I guess I just needed to type out my thoughts somewhere

"Tell me you want me in your life." so perfect. My favorite track on the album.

Chris Greene well that's the first time I found someone I knew in a youtube comment

@KateOwino

+Chris Greene I second you on that part - this track hits too close to home for me. Powerful final track to this album.

@adassai92

This album is so special to me. My mother suffered from bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, and like him, I struggled with the periods of love and the periods of abandonment, wondering whether you were truly loved or not. Like him, my mother was taken from me while I was young, and it is something that I struggle with even today. This whole album captures all of this so beautiful. Thank you so much Sufjan.

@kblackwellable

That's beautifully put, and I completely understand your sentiment. It must have been immensely cathartic, if also emotionally painful to Sufjan creating all of this, and what a work of art for the world to appreciate.
