No, he IS the world's greatest man. The world's greatest songwriter *is* like the world's greatest man. What could be greater? It also helps that he's stunningly handsome with a voice to match!
@wishinglies This song was only available for a short time on Sufjan's only single which contained the song "The Dress Looks Nice on You" But also came with Borderlines. It was only on Vinyl and on CD for promo only. Very sad to see he never put it on any other album, I'd love to buy it.
Sufjan is an incredibly talented gifted musician. Ive been praying for some awesome Christian music and I know he doesnt like being labeled but I defiantly feel the Holy Spirit in his music. Thank you Lord!
Hey Caleb, I say your comments on Daren Streblow's page. I thought you might like mike like my new channel that will be featuring Christian comedy videos
Where can you buy/download this song? I'm sure people have asked before, but I guess I forgot if anyone answered. It would be most played on my itunes if I had it - so good :]
This song is so beautiful sir. I am very moved by it, and I still have yet to look at the lyrics. You did a GREAT job with this man. Sufjan the great.
@jodyissoawesome Absolutely. I just wrote that in another video. Best songwriter ever IMO.. well. next to Mozart and like that. The emotional message that comes from his music is so many levels above everything else.. each album is more precious than gold to me.
yunginspirit is just upset cause sufjan stevens can write good songs about god (not that this is) and come out stinking of absolute cheese like michael w smith with his song 'awesome god'. repeat after me 'our god is an awesome god' LOL
and...why is that Yungingspirit guy commenting on EVERY sufjan song saying how crap he thinks its it. Well, he obviously is listening to the songs, and has nothing better to do?
Haha, you make me laugh yunginspirit, how can you possibly say this is is bad music when Ive just seen the absolute cheese you've got in your favorites. Have a long hard think about where you've gone wrong. This guy has talent in so many ways.
This is probably one of the best songs in the world. Right up there with beatles and rolling stones. If you love this check out Gary Jules, his gonna make your knickers drip :)
The only legit release this had that I know of was as a 'b' side to a ltd edition 7" single (The Dress Looks Nice on You). I guess it's an outtake from Seven Swans. Don't think this is the Madonna song, but he references the chorus from that song.
Does he need a independent label?

Hey guys, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take the time to watch my cover of For The Widows In Paradise by Sufjan Stevens!
Thanks a lot!

For those who do not know, this came as a B side on the seven swans LP.
Please buy the vinyl , it always sounds so much better.
