"Visions of Gideon" by Sufjan Stevens

"Visions of Gideon" is taken from the soundtrack of the 2017 film "Call Me By Your Name" by Sufjan Stevens. Sometimes I put this song on and it ends up on repeat for a few hours...

It played while we watched Timothée Chalamet cry, in an agonizing, relentless, near-five minute close-up for the final scene of the film. Such tenderness and heartbreak. Truly stunning. Read my review of the film here.



I have loved you for the last time
Is it a video? Is it a video?
I have touched you for the last time
Is it a video? Is it a video?

For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms
Is it a video? Is it a video?
For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms
Is it a video? Is it a video?
Is it a video?

I have loved you for the last time
Visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon
And I have kissed you for the last time
Visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon

For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms
Is it a video? (Is it a video?) Is it a video? (Is it a video?)
For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms
Is it a video? (Is it a video?) Is it a video? (Is it a video?)
For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms
Visions of Gideon (visions of Gideon), visions of Gideon (visions of Gideon)
For the love, for laughter, I flew up to your arms

Visions of Gideon (visions of Gideon), visions of Gideon (visions of Gideon), visions of Gideon
Visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon
Visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon, visions of Gideon
Visions of Gideon (is it a video?), visions of Gideon (is it a video?), visions of Gideon
