Intimate, melancholic, tender, but utterly heartbreaking - my favourite track from one of the best albums I've heard this, or any other year.   2

Sufjan Stevens speaks universal truths in Fourth of July, and the song's aching, looping refrain is stuck in my head.   5

What could I have said to raise you from the dead? Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
