Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell UNCUT REACTION

[@DAVECHER]

*THIS IS A REUPLOAD* The original reaction keeps freezing and I cant figure out how to fix it, so here's the uncut reaction. Enjoy!

[@CaveWang]

The combo of 4th of July and The Only Thing is devastating. Just pure grief, love, loss and loneliness. I feel my heart breaking while listening to those.

[@DoraScarlet]

‘Fourth of July’ is literally one of my most favourite songs ever

[@lucan_nn]

same it makes me sad like in one second

[@ajferri4012]

Same

[@anjaltiwari7480]

Agree

[@Area-eu4kg]

Same here it’s so painful to listen to but so beautiful

[@lena-Ramone]

Its the saddest song ever and very beautiful ❤

[@jerremyl8886]

This whole album is a tribute to his mother and dealing with the greif and aftermath. It's so heartbreaking and so beautiful. One of my favorite albums.

[@ewanoxborrow1024]

This entire album is a masterpiece, but it’s such a painful album to listen to. I really have to be okay mentally to spend time with it because it’s one of the rawest bodies of work I’ve ever heard

[@mompvti2408]

True. The melancholy and pain in this album is just too much to bare, but I keep listening to it. I'm sorry he had to go through that pain but he channelled and turned it into something magical

[@elusiveDEVIANT]

Without trying to sound dramatic, I understand and have experienced all of these songs. The only thing is one that hits me really hard. Had someone in the past, knew they were special but situation was fucked. Listened to eveyone else but my heart and him and nothing but profound regret and pain since. Never fucked something up so spectacularly. And the burden of what I did and what I lost has only grown with time. It's absurd. So it goes.

[@kellym7005]

I saw him play this album on tour a long time ago, and it was like.. a life altering experience. It's just such a moving opus. He sang through the whole album and then apologized for not bantering/talking between songs but said that the album is a marathon... and he can't stop til it's done. Then he was very sweet and played some hits but WHEW what a gift

[@claraskov]

This was a very lovely, emotional and cozy album reaction. Thank you for the upload!

[@DAVECHER]

Thanks for watching!

[@damienscullytoo]

You really brought me back to when I first listened to the album. Its incredible and I'll never forget the emotions I felt and still feel

[@muxisium7809]

I’ve known this album for YEARS and somehow watching this made me feel like I was listening to it all over again. You didn’t say that much but still you expressed a lot, even if it was just your visual reactions to certain lyrics and instrumentals. Really enjoyed this

[@DAVECHER]

glad you liked it!

[@amberprice3439]

Your heartfelt reaction was wonderful to watch. Having lost my mom a few years ago I can say it definitely hits harder then it did when I first heard it. But regardless it's a deeply moving piece of art that reaches anyone who hears it.

[@filipepereira2688]

That transition in "The Only Thing" at 33:30 is the best fricking thing I ever heard in a song. This Album is why i love Sufjan!

[@nezalok270]

fourth of july is just a wrecking ball to the heart Well the whole album really lol

[@tejfilms5801]

So glad this was uncut. You are lovely. Thanks for this.

[@adamcarver5736]

Sufjan has a way of floating you on a sonic cloud of emotion. This album is by far his saddest because of the subject matter. It’s his reaction to the death of his mother, with whom he had a loving but difficult relationship. She suffered from mental illness and a lot of that is present in some of these lyrics. You really hit the nail on the head when you talked about the ending of the album and the way he held his voice throughout. I think the reason this sounds so “warm,” as you put it, I’d because though he had these difficulties with her he still loved her, so that love is brought through in the warmth. You should definitely do more of his music. I promise that this is the hardest hitting emotionally of anything he’s done. And watching you be emotional and not talking much during this review actually conveyed more than a “talking” review could have. This album just hits differently.

[@davfb8622]

This is my grieving album about my grandfather. It’s just perfect that it came out that year. Love that you said the arrangements is somewhat warm as a contrast to the lyrics, and I took comfort in that warmth for sure

[@edwinglenn]

I LOVE Sufjan! I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to Come on Feel the Illinoise. He has a 5 disc set of Christmas music which is sort of bizarre but has some solid gold originals like Sister Winter.

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

I have to listen to this album now, only heard 4th of July but I love that song

[@ShutterIsland-gj1ko]

The uncut reaction actually gave me goosebumps! Definitely worth the watch and I feel like the Illinois reaction might be right around the corner :) Btw, if you haven't listened to In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, Charli by Charli XCX or Titanic Rising by Weyes Blood you definitely have to check these albums out!

[@sheerluck2646]

His magnum opus. If I needed a good cry, I’ll just listen to this album.

[@ajferri4012]

This album makes me feel less alone in this world. I adore this album and loved watching you react to it uncut. Thank you.

[@II_Holocene_II]

I always say to anyone i show this album to, it has such a cold yet inviting sound. To me it feels like when you wake up before the sun has fully risen and the world is still cold and blue. Cold, blue, yet peaceful and beautiful and inviting.

[@lithw01]

I'm eternally thankful for his encapsulating the gay experience in such a stripped-down and authentic fashion. This album saved my life.

[@cameronmidgley7152]

The only thing breaks me, bless you, sir.

[@manueloviedo1306]

Two years ago there were almost no album reactions of “Carrie & Lowell” so happy to Watch this video!

[@alphamatics]

Amazing reaction, your vibe fits the album perfectly, and I get your point about not paying attention to the lyrics, they are there, and they will hit you

[@roumiaou]

Just thank you for being young and genuine.

[@roumiaou]

Was it that hard ?

[@roumiaou]

Now try "Javelin". It'll take you farther.

[@DAVECHER]

I just recently reviewed it

When you liked on fourth of July 😩 , it's so sad but so calm at the same time

[@lucien927]

The Only Thing is prolly my fave

[@lutherfloyd597]

I just found your channel but I love your reactions (and you're so adorable)

[@jettwithanothert]

My heart is sad, and happy. Thank you.

[@rayname908]

Love Sufjan Stevens so much. A beautiful man. Illinois and "Mystery of Love" are perfect

[@CaveWang]

Thanks for uploading the whole video. One of my favourite of yours!

[@DAVECHER]

thanks!

[@GhoulishFiend]

The live version of 'Fourth of July' with Dawn Landes is utterly insane.

[@bonkybo5696]

The song Fourth of July is about his grandmas passing and the lyrics my dragonfly, little loon and others in the song are nicknames his grandma use to give him I love the song it is so beautiful

[@KarK1ttyy]

its actually about his mother passing and a conversation he had with her right before she died in the hospital but you were close the whole album is about his mothers passing and her absence in his life due to her bipolar and clinical depression.

[@bonkybo5696]

@@KarK1ttyy yeah i knew it was something like that thank you

[@lena-Ramone]

Thought it was about his mum

MASTERPIECE! 👑🙌🏽👏🏽

Awesome reaction man...

[@vandabiss]

thanks for uploading this!! i love this album and it's nice to see how you're as moved from his work :)) ✌️

[@damienscullytoo]

Would love to see you react to Seven Swans or The Age of Adz, the latter of which is his most soundscape challenging one yet. Seven Swans cuts deep, deeper for me than Carrie and Lowel Did, the dude is amazing

[@antikamniacalendar5765]

if you're doing this you HAVE to do Illinois it's probably like the best album ever made

[@2553he]

Great album and some songs are masterpieces .. but C&L is more solid

[@ns5223]

@@2553he Eh, I dunno. I think if you're not including interludes, song-for-song Illinois is the better and more consistent album, as well as possessing the better highs. I just think it's a better record. Carrie & Lowell falls apart a bit for me in the second half. Every song is still good, though.

[@dvdso]

This

[@2553he]

@@ns5223 I think that's my problem with illinois.. all the interludes and 20 tracks it kills something in the album for me.. and I agree with you C&L doesn't keep its strength and gets weaker and weaker towards the last 4 songs but it's still a masterpiece and one of 2010s best albums

[@lena-Ramone]

I like michigan too and more than illinois

Fourth of July shatters my soul

[@AEF95]

I remember i was so emotionally fucked for a month when i listened to this album the first time. Lol.

[@MrMasterskywalker]

I like how you and Sufjan sighed the EXACT way at the end of John My Beloved 45:11

[@Seaflea2377]

I saw you totally get this album and artist on “Should’ve known better”. Such a personal/beautiful album

[@jacvic0790]

I've probably commented this somewhere before but I can't remember if that was another channel or not. But I think you would love his album 'Illinois' and you have to react to it sometime! it is classed as one of his best, but don't expect it to be sad like this album, it's really uplifting!

[@Whatintheworl]

Pretty sure the song Fourth of July is a song to his mother that passed away

[@kindness-is-cool]

It contains a conversation... She is speaking to him when she calls him her little loon and other birds. She is the dragonfly/firefly.

[@rkustanto]

Next The Lumineers Cleopatra

[@samwright4033]

it would be super awesome if you could react to Illinois by Sufjan - I think its his best album and definitely one of my favorites of all time. If you like the thicker and layered orchestrations or wanna hear more upbeat songs you'll like it

[@Tokyo2015]

Why is he good at every song he sings?

[@hug21]

U should add timestamp

[@thamachoswedishpotat]

Harsh album to upload a full reaction to. It's really one of those albums that i love but i avoid. The subject matter is just that harsh.

[@Soul-zg8sd]

U a happy person?

Happy is overrated ;o) His album Illinoise is more orchestral and not (all) sad.
