When your time is up
And you’ve given all you’ve got
There’s always someone ready to take your place
You’re nothing but a number in slate
I thought this was it
Time has a way of making you stick
Or run from your guns
Time makes a fool of young love
Don’t let it go to your head
There’s nothing worse if they never meant what they said
So let us all fall to our knees
There’s no reason to cause a scene
When your days out number your weight
You will find you were just
A number in slate
Though my hands were tied
I never thought you would recognise
My face in a crowd with all those people around
I was taken by the fear of holy ground
So take what’s left of the day
Pack up your things and be on your way
When every door slams into your face
Well that’s just what they say
Don’t let it go to your head
There’s nothing worse if they never meant what they said
So let us all fall to our knees
There’s no reason to cause a scene
When your days out number your weight
You will find you were just
A number in slate

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind

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
