This song has a really intense, yet hopeful feel to it. One thing that I love musically is the last 1:45 seconds of the song where you just hear the horns and all the other instruments are absent. The way I hear it is like finally finding peace in Gods presence after the uncertainty of Him being there. Its truly beautiful. Sufjan Stevens is a master songwriter.
