"Fourth of July”, is a reflection on the night his mother died. Sufjan quietly cries and croons his love for the woman who bore him, the woman who weaved in and out of his life until her death. The words feel close, **like a private conversation occurring with the listener eavesdropping. He calls her many tender names: “dragonfly”, “star in the sky”, “my little Versailles”. These words are weighted, full of nostalgia and regret; realizations of how small we are in death. “Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook Burn? or the Fourth of July?” He poses a question without answer. Life is utter destruction and infinite joy. (this paragraph is not mine)

This song is such a great example of how I feel because it too is written based on loss of a loved one…. *”Did you get enough love my little dove”* reminds me of when I used to beg her to reach out because of a unloving family….little nicknames; dove, sugar, love etc were always a big thing in our time together….I miss you so much Jennifer my life isn’t the same without you…..

This song played as I stared at one of the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. I had never felt so alive. Even fearless. And I didn’t allow anything to distract me for a solid 3 minutes. it seems so insignificant ….. but to me, a whole galaxy of pure bliss. What a strange existence.

I had a friend, a best friend. Whenever I felt sad, I talked to her, she was always there for me. We were best friends in 10 years. But sadly, she passed away. 7th Dec 2020. 1 year without her and Im still not over her. People tell me to get over her and try to move on. Im trying, but it's hard without her. She was my everything and she's still my everything. I really loved her. I know she's with me, always. But I cant see her and that makes it so much worse. I just wish I could see her 1 time again, just to say goodbye. You wanna know why? Its because she died when I was in school, so I couldnt say goodbye. I just want a hug from her, and I know she wants a hug from me. Shes finally happy, and im so proud of her. She always bring light to people when they doesnt feel good. Shes my light, my saviour. Shes the most beautiful and kindness girl I have ever seen. Shes the sun and im the moon. She will always be the sun in my life, even if she's gone. I still remember the day when I come home and my mom told me she was gone. I cried so much. I layed in bed and my mom come in to my room, she gave me a big hug and layed her body next to me. She taked her arms around my stomach and huged me hard. I dont think I will ever feel that love again. I also remember that after 10-20 mins, I eated a sandwich and cried so much lol. It took me almost 15 mins to eat 1 sandwich. At the same day, on the night, I couldnt sleep, I was so destroyed. My heart was so empty, my eyes were full of tears. I still cant get over her and I dont think I want that. I dont want to feel the pain, but I also wants to feel it because it reminds me of how much we loved eachother, how much fun we had and how much we went trought together. I really really miss her. And I hope that no one of you guys that are reading this, feel the pain after loosing a bestfriend or just someone you love. I wish we all were ghosts or angels so we all could live forever and never die. So to you that are reading this, please, for me, go to your loved ones and tell them how much you love them, because one day you're gonna lose them and never see them again. Go to your mom, sister, brother, whoever it is, and give them a big hug. Please, for me? Have a great day and remember we all love you.

I personally don't see this sound as everyone else sees it, as a reflection of their mother or sister or friend dying. But when it states "why do you cry" It makes me feel as someone is asking me the question why do you cry. Like someone is finally asking what is wrong but in a beautiful way. "We're all gonna die" hurts me because it's true some may be sooner or later, some may cheat the system and go sooner like I wish I could but this song and music save me in a way people cannot but this specific song creates a feeling of comfort for the depression that stirs inside and I will forever be grateful for sufjan

This is the first time I’ve genuinely sobbed in months. My German Shepard, Faith, was barely 4 years old when she was diagnosed with an incurable cancer crushing her internal organs. She was the most devoted dog I’ve ever met. She followed me every step I took, lied by my side, comforted me with any negative emotion I experienced, looked into my eyes with so much loyalty. She loved me so much that she fought the pain of the tumor to exist with me as long as possible. Eventually, I had to call the vets to put her down in my home. It was too much to see her in so much pain. Even then, she still fought the drugs as they attempted to shut her body down. She wanted to see why I was sobbing so harshly, if I was safe. After she passed I could still feel her presence the next morning, a ghostly weight of her body pressing against my legs while I lied in bed. I will never be able to find a living angel like her ever again. She was my one and only best friend, and I’ll never forget her presence. This song reminds me so much of the grief I went through and still go through. It’s been 3 years now, but I’ll never stop mourning her absence.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I also lost my German Shepherd, Nuba. He passed this year on July 1st. And it was 3 days later a friend shared this song and I could not stop crying as I listened. All I could think about was my sweet boy and how badly I wished I could’ve been there when he passed. He was almost 10, I’m 21. I spent almost half of my life with him and now he’s gone. Dogs truly are a blessing and their absence is.. so tangible. Losing him is the worst grief I’ve ever felt. But reading your comment and knowing I’m not alone in that grief is incredibly comforting. Thank you for sharing and may we both heal with time 🥺❤

My dad was fighting against cancer for 2 years. Lot of churgeries, chimio, radiotherapy... On Octobre 1, he passed away. He was in an establishment for people dying. It was very beautiful, calm and nurses were so nice. We visited him everyday. This day, we received a call to tell us that the night was very long and painful for him... She told us that he's not going to pass now, but maybe in few days. But two hours later we visited him, he passed away 5 mins before we saw him. I feel like he knows that we were here. He knows that It was time to go in dignity, like "ok you are here I know it, you came to see me, that's all I got to know. I want you to be here when my soule left my body. Now I've got to go in peace, the pain was hard for you and myself, time so stop". He will leave till I leave.

I wish they were all still here but there’s nothing I can do to bring them back. If you have ever lost someone who you cared about or loved, keep those memories alive and if your alone talk to them as if they’re with you even if they’re not there physically.( I know I might sound delusional) I do it and it comforts me.

I love this song I love this picture

[@lisan_al_ghayb]

I sit and look at the plain of the sky in front of me, thinking of small stars and deep black holes. I know I have to go when the time comes. I know when the time comes, the bells will ring and my heart will be silent forever. When the time comes, I will cut my roots from life. And I know that when I go, one thing with me will leave this world, I know one thing will be buried with me and will be reunited, and that is love. It's eyes of my beloved

I love you ❤

[@lochness7419]

This is GORGEOUS and so chilling and all I can think about is the fact that the cassette effect noise at the beginning sounds EXACTLY like the one in the Magnus Archives. I love this though oh my GODS

[@ashtonfox5929]

The evil it spread like a fever ahead It was night when you died, my firefly What could I have said to raise you from the dead? Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July? Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We're all gonna die Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head Was it all a disguise, like Junior High Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction Now, where am I? My fading supply Did you get enough love, my little dove Why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right My little Versailles The hospital asked should the body be cast Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth Do you find it all right, my dragonfly? Shall we look at the moon, my little loon Why do you cry? Make the most of your life, while it is rife While it is light Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die We're all gonna die

This song has such a strong folklore - evermore essence. It has such a soft melody yet the words really crush your heart. "I had a feeling so peculiar that this pain would be forevermore": this fits so much with the pain Sufjan is talking about.

[@kittykittensmc2440]

I’m not crying, you are 🙂

[@alyssa.eaton9]

i listen to this constantly thinking about my farther figure. for an explanation my farther was a violent and sometimes abusive person. but he had a bestfriend called billy. my mother and farther have been spilt since my little brother was born (2011) . so me and my little brother would have to visits my farther. most of the time billy would be there. when he was mad he would take me and my little brother away. he looked after my family so well, even though my dad was a horrible person. when he became homeless he took him in. when my mother couldn’t afford dinner, he would pay for it. but 2 years ago he passed away. in 2022 it will be 3 years. i miss him so much. i still see my dad. he’s kind of a better person thanks to billy. i miss him so much.

Very similar story 💗

hits different on 4th of July

[@cloud-kn4lf]

I sit here on the floor of my bedroom with my frightened dog listening to this song. My mother is drunk, she yelled at him for no reason. I’m scared. I hate it when she’s drunk. I hate all people when they’re drunk. They’re scary and there’s nothing good that comes out of drinking. I’m promising myself here and now, I’ll never touch alcohol for as long as I live, I’ll never be the monsters these drunk adults have become.

[@ok-7865]

U good bro,

[@isabellenelson1723]

That sound awful, you are so so strong stick to your words i too have seen what alcohol can do. I belive in you ❤❤

[@lexipickett4633]

I remember the days I'd spend hiding in my room blaring music into my ears so I wouldn't have to listen to my mom and dad get drunk and start arguing. You will get through this, I promise. It wont last forever. Eventually it will get better for you.

[@charlie-l7r]

I feel you, I have an alcoholic father and whenever I see someone with any sort of alcohol I freeze up. I’ve promised myself I will never ever drink as an adult. I just don’t think I can bring myself to . seeing how alcohol can destroy a person just breaks my heart. I wish you all the best love 🤍

this song is comforting me fr

[@olivia-oo7eg]

currently sobbing on my bed to my cat, I haven’t cried in awhile, I’ve kinda been bottling it up, in December my nana passed away, I didn’t tell anyone except one of my closest friends, my grades went down and teachers mentioned it at parent teacher meetings but they never knew what was going on in my life, no one did, I miss her so much it hits me randomly, I forget she isn’t across the road as she usually is, I haven’t been to her house since she was alive, I couldn’t handle going over there and it’s being put on sale soon, it hurts me so much knowing she won’t be there like always, someone else will be to make new memories and people will forget her, I never will. I loved her so much and I still do, I forget she’s gone and when it hits me it hurts so so bad. I’m so scared for when I loose anymore of my family or pets, it’s the worst feeling and this song gives me so much sadness and comfort, I was listening to this on repeat while stressing and doing my maths project and I broke, for the first time in a while. I came into my bedroom and just started balling after I closed the door, I just miss her so much and the lyrics match her story so well. have a nice day or night everyone ❤️

[@skritbox]

i understand u. my nana died 10 days after her birthday, may 28th, 2018. i miss her so much and the things that we did. her old house is next to my moms and her newer one was next to my dads. we are moving away and i just wish to relive those moments in those houses one last time. i still miss her 5 years later. im sorry for ur loss and want to let u know u arent alone stay safe out there and rest in peace nana

"my star in the sky" that made me sob

[@shraddhachoudhary3325]

I lost my dad last year on 18th May...because of COVID And before leaving us.. He appeared in my dreams on 17th night... Spend some time with me but never came back home with me... It was a message from him... He again appeared in my sister's dreams where he said that he left mom behind so that I can have a guardian and after I get independent enough then he will take her with him... Everytime I listen to "Did you get enough love my little dove? Why do you cry? And I am sorry I left, was for the best Thought it never felt right" makes me feel like he will say this to be when I get to meet him afterlife.

[@hermella1621]

hey lustry i really didn’t need this rn🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@Djjobless]

Me neither bestie, me neither. 😭😭😭

[@yuhyeetyah5482]

My dad passed away when I was 7. He died in the middle of the night, with no warning (a heart failure), and the only likely reason being over-exhaustion. It's been over 10 years and I can barely remember him anymore, but there's still this ache in my heart whenever I'm reminded of his sudden absence.This song always reminds me of him, I don't really understand why. Maybe I relate to Sufjan's pain of losing a parent so dear to my heart, maybe I enjoy imagining that it's my dad calling me a little hawk or dove, or maybe it's because I wish I could become the sky on the Fourth of July, just to see him once more.

[@codyroll436]

my grandpa loved birds. he collected statues of them, and i have about 10 of them around my room. when i was younger, i had a clear blue one my grandma and him named blue birdy. i haven’t seen it in years. he died a year ago today. that night i shuffled my playlist and listened to this song. at the mention of all the birds i broke down. i miss him. this song will always remind me of him.

[@killy3044]

What I feel while listening this? I feel nothing, empty. It’s nothing special. Life is boring and sometimes I wanna end it. But one think is holding me, maybe it’s my friend or my family. I don’t know. Im just sorry to be like this.

[@arsacesv2715]

I was there too, I have some sense of that feeling of disconnection. Don't be sorry, do something about it. Be brave and be willing to get hurt. Be courageous and honest. Experience life. Think and then aim for something and march. As you grow that aim will change course but at least your still moving. Life is confusing, hard and not fair, but I believe in you because I believed in myself and that was the hardest truth to bear. You should believe in yourself too, in spite of the scars.

[@killy3044]

Arsaces V thank you.
