[kitdenisonis9999666]

what does it matter?

11/4.

twat

[kitdenisonis9999666]

it swaps reguarly between 11/4 and 5/4 then goes in to 4/4 at the end.

best song on illinois.

[Kauzman01]

11/8 Actually. Thats the general consensus.

[isadock]

it is probably 5/8 and 6/8, but yes it makes sense to think of it in 11/8 with a subdivision of 5+6

[michaellovegrove]

this songs awesome. but how weird is the timing?

[mfdooom]

this is my absolute favourite song evererer

[bohodance]

amo esta cancion!

suena increible

[hyperKnc]

The fact that he can do this kind of work without electronics is a testament to the mans genius. Most artists could never accomplish this live with electronics, much less sans electronics. Not only does he do it well live, but instead of using a background track he changes the song to fit what can't be accommodated. I believe that sufjan stevens may be one of music's most shining.

[industrialbirds]

the intro is great indeed. It sounds a bit like gospel. This song is any way one of my favorite sufjan songs

[DoTheElectrostep]

oooh, i like it with the intro.
