Cover art for Sister lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

I don't love the melody like i do in many other songs. The instrumental part just seems to drag on without really acheiving much. But this definitely gets better when the singing starts. I've always thought the "you" was the sister. He wants to put her in the kite and show her the sky, which could mean he wants to show her everything he's seen in the world.
