Going with the general folk-feel of the last post, I want to share with you one of my favourite Sufjan Stevens tunes.
This one is sad - the lyrics are everything in this song - Stevens is an incredibly gifted writer and his words are as epic, and as cinematic as his music.
It's called Casimir Pulaski Day, from the album Illinoise (2005)
here's a live version of the song that I love - except for the fact that it's out of sync. But maybe you can just close your eyes and appreciate the 'liveness' of it on a sound level alone.
(if you're interested, also listen to "Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois" and everything else by him for that matter, cause it's all THAT amazing)
