about
"TRY / Tratar de Transformar" is a musical piece that combines the ambient vocals of Cantus Domus, an SATB choir from Germany, with the soaring voices of Gaby Moreno, a Grammy winning Guatemalan singer-songwriter, and Shara Nova (My Brightest Diamond), an American multi-instrumentalist and the piece's composer. The song is a response to families separated from each other and being held in detention centers at the US border. The visual accompaniment, a sketch-based animation by artist Tim Fite, heightens the emotional impact of the piece. The illustrations of families grappling with an overbearing police state present a chilling and accessible message of strength in community amid societal terrors.

lyrics
Oh, these troubled days
are these in cages
pressed upon all sides
confined and separated
the child invisible
longing to go home
Oh, these troubled days
i keep repeating it over and over again
my grandmother’s mission
try try try
tratar de transformar
las estructuras injustas de la sociedad
enfrentar la violencia
de toda indole
y buscar la paz
y la reconciliacion

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
