Singing of Fresh Corpses

We are awoken with the axe.
Night of the living dead... at last.

Those are the opening words to "They are night zombies!! They are neighbors! They have come back from the dead!! Ahhhh!!", off of Sufjan Stevens new album, and they give me the chills every time I hear them.

Great fucking song. I love that it's a Christian writing a song about the Rapture who gets the whole horror movie aspect of people rising from their graves. You'd think it'd be a no-brainer, but most refuse to go there. One of the boyfriend's favorite jokes is to say Jesus arose from the dead... to feast on our flesh!!!

I'm loving the entire album. I'm no music reviewer, but this review I found pretty much sums up my feelings. Can't wait to see my lil' Suffy in concert next month!!!

And yes, his endless song titles are a little bit... precocious. It's part of his schtick, either you like him for it or find it unbearable. I know plenty of people in the latter catergory. Their loss!

UPDATED - Look at me! I'm including a download of the song! I'm amazing!
