Cover art for Decatur, or Round of Applause for Your Stepmother! lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

I've lived in Illinois my whole life. Born in Peoria, grew up in Normal, going to school in Champaign, family and friends in Decatur, . I always thought that all the other states had it was better than us, we just had corn and Chicago. I'm proud of it now. I love Illinois and where I'm from and what we have here. This song sort of sums it up, somehow.
