Barack seeks the Stillness

(Obama minutes before the first Presidential debate)

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
but the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light and the stillness, the dancing.

T.S. Eliot, East Coker, No.2 of ‘Four Quartets‘

Sufjan Stevens

// September 24th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Art, Music & Poetry

I just discovered Sufjan Stevens- an American folk artist whose deeply enchanting voice tempts the ear, but whose work cuts deeply through the empty gloss of the balladic singer-songwriter. He sings folk about Jesus, about serial killers, about UFOs and cancer and Chicago, about US representatives to the United Nations and allusions of some Rock River Valley. I think I’m about three years behind the indie kids on this one, but it’s way too beautiful to be too cool. Below are a couple of tracks that are at once gorgeously light and seriously heavy.
