Sufjan Stevens, "Fourth Of July" (Official Audio)

when you try hard to gain confidence but someone pointed your insecurities and made fun of it

My 18 year old beautiful daughter said to me a few weeks ago... dad ... If i die I want this song to be played ... I left everything for her but she left me

I still missing you my beautiful dream

Serious question. Do yall think this kind of music actually heals? Or does it just make you feel sadder/worse? Perhaps it depends on each person's mindset? Let me know your thoughts.

Can I use your song in my video?

I listened to this song a million times when my grandmother passed away 9 months ago...she was my everything.
Couple months later I couldn't listen to this song anymore because it always reminded me of how I felt when I was mourning for her. I was held on to my grandfather who gave me confort and the love that i needed.
5 days ago, my grandfather passed away... Here I am again crying while listening to this song. I don't know how am I going to get used to continue living without them. The grief is such a long and difficult journey.
Rest in peace my beloved ones, I will always love you.

This song always makes me cry no matter where im am whats happening or who im with. Its so beautiful yet sad.

coming back to this
Cuz i feel like I'm back to the 'old' me
the scared useless overthinking girl
What if ..what if i didn't have to go through all of this
What if just lay myself back and never open my eyes again
Just WHAT IF

no song has ever and will never make me cry like this one, never. thank you

I am a failure.

You're my star in the sky Mr. Stevens. I will think of you in every quiet moment until you come back to us.

“i’m sorry I left, but it was for the best, though it never felt right” i listened to this song after my mom died. she was in the hospital but she was a warrior, she was in and out often but always made it out. She was fine on a Saturday and I left. Sunday came and she was gone. I held so much regret and resentment towards myself but maybe it was for the best.

This remixes me of my my nana passing away when I was 4 years old and I was devastated about her death😭😭

I felt devastated to to tell u all this.

Ou of this world😢

😗

Rest in pease Loki

Plz wake up.

Were all gonna die💔😃

🤎

Get well, Sufjan

I listened to this at what was the saddest point in my life, in the wee hours of the morning of the 13th of May 2023. It came on as I was driving back from the hospital after saying goodbye to my dad for the last time. I had listened to the song before but in that moment it precipitated such raw intense grief that I had to pull over and I almost collapsed... in a layby off the A907 outside Dunfermline.

Reading the comments for this video makes me realise that grief like that is one of the most profound experiences we can have as humans, and that it can open up whole new realms of empathy and insight into the lives of others. For anyone who is listening to this and is hurting please take solace in the fact that those we say goodbye to would want us to cherish the memories we have, even if they are painful. To feel such sadness means we have experienced hapiness and love for someone, and felt it back in return. It helped me to frame my loss as being united in grief with my fellow man, rather than defined by it. Thank you Sufjan. I miss you dad.

Fly high, Gojo Satoru. Your character made me think a lot of things through 🕊🕊🕊

hey grandpa when are you coming back home?

I'm crying

bro this song makes me vomit tears

الاغنيه الي تكدر تقلب مودي كُل الوقت 👍

Fue un 14 de Febrero

Yo estoy con vos, a como vos estuvistes en mi primera crisis y segunda y tercera y las que sean..

This song reminds me of my cat Finn who died this past July. He tried to hang on as long as he could, but it was too much after years of IMHA and vet visits and blood transfusions. I'm not sure if anyone will ever bring me the amount of joy he did. It was truely the brightest unconditional love. Then one day he was gone and the vet took his little body wrapped in a towel out of our house for the last time.

can someone explain the meaning of the picture in this song I tired but couldn't understand I am curious😁

okk ale ta piosenka do płakania>>

oh my god

I'm tired

♥️

i lost my twin sister on july 2nd, the day after our birthday.

i was too young to remember her. i suppose instead of grieving her, i grieve the person she never got to be. the fact that her life was taken from her before she had the chance to become a person. the fact that i never got to know her, and she never got to know me. there was never a funeral. no evidence she ever existed. she came into the world and disappeared, just like that.

i often feel guilty, like it should've been me, not her. every time im asked about my siblings i feel guilty saying i only have two. a part of me always wants to scream out, i have three. my younger siblings and my twin sister. my twin sister who was only older than me by a few seconds. i wish it hadn't turned out like this. is it normal to miss a person you never knew?

Мой дедушка умер вчера... Рыдаю
