Walking In The Miracle

I was walking down the street today
When a tree branch fell in front of me
It exploded on the sidewalk
I looked around and I couldn’t talk
If I was just two steps ahead
It would have come down on my head
I could be injured or could be dead

But I’m still walking through the miracle
I’m out here walking through the miracle
I have become so cavalier
Taking for granted my time here

2004 in San Diego
Week long rehearsal at a studio
I played guitar and bass and banjo
For a string of Sufjan Stevens’ shows

I went out walking on lunch break
I crossed the street to a Goodwill
A car came speeding around the corner
And it brushed against my leg
We both stopped and we made eye contact
They apologized and we both carried on
I went into the Goodwill
Just as they were setting out a Wurlitzer 200A electric piano
I paid $150 and walked it back across the street
I showed the rest of the band and the studio owner
He told me I would be the envy of every musician in San Diego
Coming to town and scoring such a great instrument right under their noses

But I was still thinking about that car
How that moment would have changed everything
So I never told the band
I guess I didn’t want to bother them

We drove the west coast in a miracle
We made music in the miracle
I kept walking in the miracle
I’m still walking in the miracle

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 27 fans who also own “January 18 - Walking In The Miracle”

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
