When the rain comes, it gives life to everything.
When the rain comes, it gives life to everything.
But when it comes, it doesn't stay,
and when it goes, it's a long time away.
When the rain comes,
when the rain comes.
The river swells up like a mother with child.
The river swells up like a mother with child.
The river's wide, the river's deep,
and it's a wonder you don't kill us in our sleep.
The river swells up,
the river swells up.
And at times, I may have wondered what all of this was for.
I admit, at times I've wondered what all of this was for.
Did you forget to come and wake us up
for nine hundred years, or what?
But the rain comes,
the rain comes,
the rain comes,
the rain comes.

I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke

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
Charming German indie pop with the keen melodic sensibilities and melancholic undercurrent of some of the style's best practitioners. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2021
Despite its themes of isolation and loneliness, Caroline White's latest batch of folk-pop confessionals is an LP brimming with confidence. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 7, 2019
