Sufjan Stevens – Sister Winter Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm suprised no one has mentioned "Oh, Sister' by Dylan which says "Oh, Sister Winter i've come to lie in your arms..." I think that he's probably referencing that song in this one, but an astonishingly beautiful song in its own right

Sufjan Stevens – Romulus Lyrics 18 years ago
This song isn't just about some kid.
It's about him, this is a biographical song.
I don't remember where I read this, maybe it was a transcript of a radio interview or something.
Sufjan and his Brother moved in with their grandparents while their mother went out to Oregon for a guy, his Grandpa bought them a VCR to try and get their mind off of it, and even though they were enveloped in the VCR and that's all they wanted to do was watch it, they still grew up
Then when their Mother finally drove back, because their Grandfather was dying, her crappy chevrolet broke down, and even though he had done all of that for them
She still tried to repress her feelings, and just acted like she didn't care
and it was at that point Sufjan lost all respect for his mother
