As is (and was) his custom, Sufjan would often rework different versions of his songs while recording an album, and “Fourth of July” was no exception. (Other versions \u0026amp; remixes of the song were released on “The Greatest Gift” mixtape and on the “Exploding Whale” 7” single.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two latest versions were recently found on old harddrives. The refrain of the song, “We’re all gonna die,” invokes a meditation on human mortality and fragility, even as it acts as an anchor of stoic hope. Its solemnity invites listeners to feel comfort, connection — even joy — wrought from great pain and loss. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe song has recently had a resurgence with listeners — which may speak to a deep national grief and sense of loss. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 7-inch in red will ship in December 2022, which marks the 10-year anniversary of Carrie’s death. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SIGZimaAV4M\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sufjan Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44460475056315,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0517\/0341\/4971\/products\/SufjanStevens-FourthofJuly-OpaqueRed-01.jpg?v=1676916734","url":"https:\/\/bizarromarket.mom\/products\/sufjan-stevens-fourth-of-july-7-opaque-red","provider":"Bizarro Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
