The Death card is often feared by people who don’t fully understand its meaning, but it can actually be seen as the transformation needed in order to start fresh and cleanse yourself. I probably wrote this song in about a day, taking inspiration from Alejandro Jodorowsky’s interpretation of the Death card (which he calls “The Nameless Arcanum”) in his book The Way of Tarot. Once I got the guitar tone I wanted, the rest came naturally. I’d been listening to a lot of heavier slower music around that time (Jesu, DIIV, King Woman). I immediately knew I wanted it to sound super heavy (death!!!). "My friend Bree Mckenna (Tacocat, Childbirth) had the genius idea to put together a compilation of songs inspired by different tarot cards. “This song was inspired by the Death tarot card," says Chastity Belt / Childbirth member Julia Shapiro of her new solo single. As it stands, no one can ascertain if the songwriter is married, if he has a wife, or if he is dating anyone.JULIA SHAPIRO (CHASTITY BELT) - "DEATH (XIII) This has made it difficult for the media to get a confirmation on his sexual orientation, creating room for more speculations and assumptions. Sufjan is one of the celebrities who spares no information about his personal life to the public. to be with me’’ and many others leaves his audience wondering if the singer still refers to God. Recalling the lyrics ‘You gave up a wife. These and more created a gospel image for the album as well as the composer.Ĭoming to the Gay aspect of his songs, Seven Swans plays a major role here too, as some of Sufjan’s tracks on the album also touches on verbal affections indirectly aimed at the same sex, according to analysis. The album which is classified almost as a gospel collection features events from the Christian bible including, the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, Abraham the father of Christianity, and other biblical references.

To deliberate on the supposed Christian aspect of his songs, Seven Swans is an album that more or less justifies the singer as a Christian. This is why questions about his sexuality have continued to pop up. But his notoriously private nature has made unraveling his personal life a daunting task for the curious media and public who have continued to dig to no avail. He attended Hope College, a Christian school and identifies himself as a Christian. What makes it more complicated is the fact that the singer who wears angels wings during performances, asserts that he is a Christian. With sensually tailored lyrics that seem attributed to the Supreme Being – God, Stevens has left the entire public wondering who he dedicates his songs to. The legendary artist who ruled his world in his vibrant days lives a comfortable life. Sufjan Stevens sits on a net worth of $4 million by estimation. His eighth studio album, Carrie & Lowell came through in 2015. In 2012, Stevens dished another set of Christmas songs Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas. He also worked on an album ‘Music For Insomnia’ with Lowell Brams, his stepfather. Stevens went on a hiatus after that but came back in 2009 with ‘Run Rabbit Run‘.

The latter part of 2006 saw the release of the singer’s uniquely recorded Christmas songs which formed the album Christmas. Stevens in 2005 released Illinois, his second state LP which received great critical acclaim and was a huge commercial success. Seven Swans was the next album that followed and it was a compilation of songs which the singer recorded previously. The first two albums were nothing compared to his third, Michigan, which was a massive hit. His second album Enjoy Your Rabbit was soon released while he was in New York. After his group’s break up Stevens later moved to New York to fulfill his writing desires while he kept on testing waters in music. The album was released in 1999 on Asthmatic Kitty Records owned by his step-father. The group soon broke up and Sufjan soon wrote and recorded his first solo album A Sun Came. At the band, Stevens did more of instrumentals, playing guitar and piano, while Shannon Steven wrote the songs. He started out his music career when he joined his first band Marzuki. Thanks to his mother’s second husband Lowell Brams, Stevens was introduced to the art of making music and he soon discovered that he was more of a songwriter than anything else. Always inclined to arts, he initially wanted to be a writer but gradually diffused into songwriting and producing when he was in the university, at Hope College in rural Holland, Michigan. The artist who is of Lithuanian and Greek descent moved from Detroit to Petoskey alongside his family when he was nine. He was born on July 1, 1975, in Detroit Michigan.
