I have always been kind of confused about Sufjan's brand of "pop" and his weaving of mythologies, like there is something ungenuine about it: plastic, synthetic and safe. But somehow, well, yes, somehow this tune is on my playlist for a day or two now. He references The Cure's "Close to me" in an interesting way, here. Plus, the second part gets darkly biblical in subject matter.
Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Feel the Illinoise! – 1. The World's Columbian Exposition 2. Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream
Chorus line: "Are you writing from the heart?" (Faulkner)
