Back in early 2009 I signed on to work on some portions of a film called HOLY ROLLERS. It was starring a little known actor named Jesse Eisenberg. Over the past year, Adventureland and Zombieland happened. This elevated his profile quite a bit, not to mention showing some great acting range. The basic theme of the movie is blind faith and Jesse’s character struggles quite a bit with it. All the while growing up and discovering the world outside of his small Hassidic community. The music I wrote for the film was mostly representative of that outside world. It’s representative of everything his community frowned upon.
This song was written for a very specific scene, a turning point, a moment of great excitement and enlightenment.
I really hope you enjoy it.
This single also includes remixes by my good friends Gigamesh, True Blue and Blue Satellite. It’s generally me doing the remixing and it was great to be on the other side and have somebody alter one of my own songs. I loved what they did and they all had a unique take on the song.
Thanks to the always amazing Liset Alea, the director Kevin Asch, composer MJ Mynarski. It was awesome working together.

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan

Some of the most poignant and beautiful lyrics I've ever heard. "Well this world is a cold one but it takes one to know one" like ??? life changing oh my. "You confronted your sorrow like there was no tomorrow while the rest of the world only laughed." like I just love this song so much arristeus
