I adore this song. I absolutely love how he connected the two parts of the song. The instrumental between the songs connects them so smoothly, and adds in such a natural-sounding climax leading to a slower melody. I love the trumpets and violins, not to mention the lyrics. I think i like the second part more because it's more personal. Carl Sandburg was a fabulous poet, and i really like his poem about Chicago.
