The bittersweet feeling of this song reminds me of how I get towards the end of every first draft: "I've made a lot of mistakes. All things go..."
One of the highlights of my music listening life.

Heard this on the radio tonight, and realised two things:
(1) I haven't listened to this song in ages, and
(2) I absolutely and utterly love this song to pieces...

all things go
It's appropriate that one of the greatest American albums in recent memory was released on July 4th! Sufjan Stevens' 'Illinois' was released 10 years ago today, a sprawling concept album of unbelievable musical riches full of the geography, history, attractions, myths and traditions of the 5th most populous U.S. state. 'Chicago' may well be the best song Stevens has ever recorded - enjoy this clip and my article on this fascinating record! http://www.thestudentplaylist.com/sufjan-stevens-illinois/
A spiritually uplifting, ethereally enlightened musing upon Life. Have a fulfilling weekend my fellow jammers.
