"Tell Me You Love Me" by Sufjan Stevens

Here is the glorious, heavenly, shattering "Tell Me You Love Me' by the glorious, heavenly Sufjan Stevens.

The video was shot by Luca Guadagnino, who directed "Call Me By Your Name" (previously here) and Stevens worked with Guadagnino on the soundtrack of that film (previously here).


My love, I've lost my faith in everything (in everything)
Tell me you love me anyway
Tell me you love me anyway

My love, I feel myself unraveling (unraveling)
Tell me you love me anyway
Tell me you love me anyway

My love, I feel the darkness on my back
(Ness on my back, ness on my back)
Something inside me like a wave
(Something inside me)
Something inside me like a wave
(Something inside me like a wave)

Right now I could use a change of heart
(My love) or a kiss before everything falls apart
(My love) can you tell me this love will last forever?
(Tell me you love me)

(My love) as the world turns, making such a mess
(My love) what's the point of it
When everything's dispossessed?
(My love) can we carry this love across the desert?

My love, I wish I was a photograph
(A photograph, a photograph)
Perfect and lovely in a frame
(Perfect and lovely)
Perfect and lovely in a frame
(Perfect and lovely in a frame)

My love, my life could be an epitaph (epitaph, epitaph)
Something to write upon my grave
(Something to write upon)
Something to write upon my grave
(Something to write upon my grave)

Right now, I could use a change of plans
(My love) when it all falls
What's the use of open hands?
(My love) can you tell me this love will last forever?
(Tell me you love me)

(My love) and as the world burns
Breathing in the blight
(My love) what's the point of it
If morning turns into night?
(My love) can we carry this love? It's now or never

I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you every day (I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you every day (I'm gonna love you)
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you every day
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you every day
I'm gonna love you every day
I'm gonna love you
