Sufjan Stevens - Chicago
“The song ‘Chicago’ isn’t really about Chicago. It’s about the revelation that we are who we are, and we carry our true selves with us like a backpack everywhere we go. The kind of traveling that we do for self-discovery is a little naive and idealistic, and in some way the person who we are is always staring at us in the mirror, face-to-face. The sooner we reckon with that, the better.”
Year of the Dragon arranged by Nico Muhly
This is my chinese zodiac sign.
I was searching for my chinese sign to post a song from Run Rabbit Run. It turned out to be year of the Dragon, exactly the song I was listening to. Oh, just another scoreless victory for serendipity…
Sufjan Stevens and Rosie Thomas - Say Hello
From Rosie’s DVD, perhaps one of the cutest Sufjan related things you can watch. So watch it!
oh, so much cuteness
“this is kind of a stalker song”
i’m dedicating this song to the boys I encounter everyday on the bus and on campus.
Rosie Thomas, Denison Witmer, Sufjan Stevens (sort of..) - Paper Doll
Another one to go along with the earlier Say Hello cute-fest. This one is pretty funny. Sufjan can’t stop laughing and is generally ridiculous (which is rare).
I really can’t stop smiling.
someone, please, give these 3 people their own tv show. This video was the most amusing thing I’ve seen in a long time.
How can a girl like Rosie Thomas with such an annoying taking voice have such a sweet singing voice?
And Sufjan, stop making me fall in love with you, seriously.
- NME: Is having a son part of the great Sufjan Stevens masterplan?
- SS: Yes, I will be fruitful and multiply. Do you have any children? Creation is the most creative act, I think. But it's terrifying!
- NME: What are you hoping to pass on to your son?
- SS: Bad genes! Ha! Big teeth. I worry that if I had children I would be too overbearing in terms of motivating them to be musical. I do worry. How much should you pressure them into doing something?
- NME: More importantly, what if your kid wanted to be an estate agent?
- SS: Oh man. (Moans as if future son is guaranteed serial killer) You just have to give them your blessing, and then quietly disown them. Oh dear. I have no idea. I also worry about having a demon child..
