the greatest song on "seven swans." i didn't know he was religious.. i'm pretty happy to find it out reading on here. he has a way of lighting everything up.
also.
am i the only person who hears both "chicago" and "the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us!" in the chorus of this song? i might just be crazy, but i hear it every time i listen to this song.
Listen to "Sleeping Bear, Sault Sainte-Marie" off of Greetings From Michigan: The Great Lake State. It has a similar harmonic progression. Sufjan seems to repeat a lot of lyrical and musical motifs between and across his Å“uvre, and it's very interesting to hold them in dialogue with one another.

You might still be crazy, but yes the first thing I thought was "Hey, it's like Chicago, only with banjo!"
