About This Track
'Rake' by Sufjan Stevens is an alternative track from the album 'A Sun Came' (2000). The lyrics stage a reassurance between two people, with the speaker repeatedly returning to an image of stability and motion, “You are the rock”. Lines about safety and a warm resting place sit alongside the sense of pressure closing in, as the couple move through danger and retreat to shelter. The voice is intimate and watchful, framing the other person as both anchor and agent in the speaker’s shifting self-awareness.
"Rake" is a track by Sufjan Stevens, from the album A Sun Came, released 12th June 2000. The track is 2:49 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Sufjan Stevens.
