Sufjan Stevens – The Seer's Tower Lyrics 19 years ago
Does anyone know if the Episcopal church believes in the Rapture? because it seems to fit with the lyrics, and if Sufjan is Episcopalian then I think this song may be about the apocalypse. Just a thought.

Also, isn't the cardinal the state bird of Illinois? Gotta love Sufjan for tying in the theme.

Sufjan Stevens – Casimir Pulaski Day Lyrics 19 years ago
This song is so moving. I think from a Christian perspective it expresses the doubt that you feel in the midst of hardship, but from a secular standpoint Sufjan's lyrics are just as applicable. I especially love the "cardinal hits the window;" in urban legend, a bird flying into a window signifies death or loss of some kind.
