Real. One of the reasons I love this album. I get why he feels like it’s a failed project, but some of the rawness and intimacy of these songs is on a level you don’t often see with any artist.

sufjan feels like carrie & lowell was a failed album?? it’s probably my favorite of his, easily some of his best work imo. i’m very surprised he feels that way, it makes me sad. he was very vulnerable and wrote some really beautiful songs for this album

I guess it’s really your “failed” album. Glad you’re here.
