How It Makes Me Feel

I’ve been thinking a lot about patience today
How everything has its own timing
How to trust it
How to follow and idea but also lead the way
I’ve been thinking a lot about patience today

Two years ago, my fans gave me money to make a record
Let me tell you how that made me feel

First thing I felt was gratitude, of course. How couldn’t I?
Second thing I felt was responsibility and desire
to give something I believe in and give it back to them
Made me think a lot about process those days

Spent a lot of money on musicians and studios
Tried my best to write the best songs I possibly could

Something a lot of creative types might not tell you is about the time in between
When you finish your project and when it’s finally released
It feels like it sits inside of you and starts to scream,
“LET ME OUT!”
So now down here in my basement I think I’m having some kind of reaction
I need something fast -- Some kind of instant satisfaction

Less about the music and more about the words
Or maybe it’s
Less about the words and more about how it makes me feel

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 27 fans who also own “January 22 - How It Makes Me Feel”

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
