Sufjan Stevens - All The Trees Of The Field Will Clap Their Hands download song

So this will sound weird, but I have the strangest connection with this song. I've always loved it, but I totally understand it now. I was sleeping under the stars in the Desolation Wilderness and I looked up and saw trees pointing towards the endless night sky. I didn't have any technology with me, but this song played in my head note for note, and I can't help but think that's how Sufjan intended this song to be heard. I could feel the trees swaying and clapping their hands to praise the Lord.

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be,and feel alone.”

Great tune. Sounds similar to "Work this Time" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Loved this song as soon as I heard it on the movie Driving Lessons. Also love 'Jesusland' by Ben Folds whose song is also on this movie. How do they find such awesome music!?

If I am alive this time next year, Will I have arrived in time to share? Mine is about as good this far. I'm still applied to what you are. And I am joining all my thoughts to you. And I'm preparing every part for you. I heard from the trees a great parade. And I heard from the hills a band was made. Will I be invited to the sound? Will I be a part of what you've made? And I am throwing all my thoughts away. And I'm destroying every bet I've made. And I am joining all my thoughts to you. And I'm preparing every part for you.

this makes me think about my grandfather. i miss him so much

This is crazy; I just realized that at least 10 of Sufjan's songs are my all time favorites.

when my dad got a diagnosis of malignant melanoma and was told he had 6 months to live, I came home to stay and help take care of him as he was on hospice. When I first heard this song , I immediately connected with that period and my father. I watched him do this. Quite literally. He gave up his worries on earth and began to prepare. He wasn't scared or angry..just sad to leave us but relegated himself to the journey ahead and was at peace with it. We were the ones devastated. This song strikes such an emotional chord in me whenever I play it..it also fills me with peace and acceptance of losing my dad. I know he lives on. About a yr after he died he came to me in a dream..looking healthy and happy, and he told me.. ( when I asked him "whats it like there ?")'He said.. " It's the darndest thing! I told the weather to the palm trees!!" ..The title of this song about the trees clapping, resonated instantly. I hope I am to see these things when I leave this earth....where it's so joyeous that you can converse

There's a melancholy emotion that stirs in me when i hear this song.

This song has made me cry on several occasions, just out of nowhere. It's beauty is too much for me.

My undying love for everything Sufjan makes brought me here.

I dated Suf's brother. I went to his high school as well and he came to visit one day.

The title comes from Isaiah 55:12- You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands

Call Me By Your Name and The Mystery of Love brought me here. I cant be happier!. Thank you.

And I am throwing all my thoughts away

makes me wish i had the cash for a banjo.

I just had to find this after hearing it in Weeds. Must admit... It's beautiful and breaks my heart.
