  • This song puts me in such a good mood 3

  • Chiddy Bang brought me here...

  • is it just me or is this a wee bit naff?

  • @goosey77ski it's just you... and maybe a couple of others

  • @JamesMulvale thank god for those others, the world needs more people like them : )

  • @7777bigjim Each to their own I guess :)

  • Little Miss Sunshine!!!

  • Sufjan Stevens' Illinois is a symphonic extravaganza for the soul.

  • Why did I not hear this years ago when Snow Patrol mentioned it? Why didn't I hear it months ago when Chiddy Bang featured it?? Why did I not look up this song when Chicago called??? Now I really want to move there.

  • check out a cover of this song

    soundcloud(DOT)com/basementbro­thers

  • What TV show/film is this out of? Literally cannot think

  • @steadadam Little Miss Sunshine

  • Chiddy Bang did a version of this song called "All Things Go" but i personally like this song much better

  • its sad that not really alot of people knows this song

  • This makes me think of little miss sunshine straight away :) and FLIP I love this song!!! also yeah I know its been said but check out the mashup of this and coldplay's clocks, it sounds heavenly.

  • ALL THINGS GO! this includes all my sins, my precious violin, my hair, clothes, whatever I spent time on. They will all disappear.

    & then That Day. I will stand in awe of Him. Realizing, that I lived for a bigger, more valuable Treasure.

  • Just heard this on the raaaadio! Lovely :)

  • My first time listening to Indie= mind blowing. Ive always Loved Rock (AC/DC, Lad Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi, Rolling Stones, R.E.M, Queens Of The Stone Age, Seether, Disturbed, Green day.) But Ive never had the guts to check out indie :) its awesome.

  • Heard this mashed up with Clocks by Coldplay on tumblr. I love it.

  • If you play this song with Coldplay-Clocks at the same time, they sound crazy good together.

  • @AlanaGrainger we know.

  • @AlanaGrainger Indeed! I actually discovered this song because of a cool mix someone had made with "Clocks". Both songs do fit well together! :D

  • @AlanaGrainger if by "crazy good" you mean totally out of sync and really shitty, then yes.

  • @AlanaGrainger I guess if you like different keys and chord progressions...

  • @AlanaGrainger No it doesn't, are you serious? Coldplay? And Sufjan Stevens!?!? Why not play it with Justin Bieber's "Baby" while you're at it.

  • @crackedman123 no. he so fucking right. go look it up on youtube and listen to it. it sounds like the songs were made for each other. i admit, it sounds a little bad at first, but at 35 seconds and onwards, its an eargasm: /watch?v=8lkehyaiuSg

  • MY THEME SONG

  • what a song

  • You americans make some fucking weird comments!

  • I've Made So many Fargin' Mistakes it hurts! This music is like a baptism, it makes me clean. Thank you Mr. Stevens... All things go!

  • Aww, what a cute song <3

  • Nigger ButtHole Juice :/

  • Who was at the 10 minute dance-off when this came on? I nearly died I was so happy.

  • i WISH my boyfriend listened to this! its so uplifting and so unlike everything else out there right now.

  • CHIDDY BANG

  • Little Miss Sunshine ! <3

  • Reminds me of my friend Sarah and Little Miss Sunshine :)

  • "I've made a lot of mistakes in my mind, in mind"...me too Sufjan, me too.

  • Fargin' Brilliant... that's all I can say while I'm holding back my real emotions....

  • finest talent of the next generation I have ever heard... Flat out, a fargin' genius.

  • I love this song so much! It makes me so happy! It's a good song to wake up to and dance around the house to. Chicago (Adult Contemporary) is nice too!

  • Motivates me in the morning as I brush my teeth

  • oh dang....you gotta be a gay guy to like sufjan stevns? hope my gf doesn't find that out! D:

  • @MegaBadBoi11

    Keep being a fucking moron- you'll just get banned. Now instead of picking a fight for no reason, how about you shut up and go smoke your dope? Yeah, I'm gay, and so fucking what? I could take your ass in a fight any day- I'm a Marine, motherfucker! Trained to fight!

    What's your problem with gays anyways? What did we ever do to you? I see all of the shit on your profile about "I fucked so-and-so up because he was gay!" What's your problem, Troll?

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Ok...here's the picture. I can't be arsed to trudge through hundreds of messages of mindless chav shit that you've written on this video...so I'll just reply to this one. You're a wanker. Before you accuse me of being a 'Femmmmmm Boyyyyyyyy' I assure you I'm straight. You're a twat. You might as well face it. If you like "Wayne" So much then go and listen to that shit, of it makes you happy. But please...for the sake of everyone else looking at these comments. Fuck. off.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Too many big words? Retarded fuck.

  • @TheBottleofsand His channel is a fail troll, just block him.

  • Thumbs up is your a straight guy who listens to Sufjan Stevens!

  • @sexyboi719 WTF?

  • @sexyboi719 what's with this comment? Why wouldn't some guy who's attracted to females listen to Stevens? I don't understand...

  • @sexyboi719 Retard. 

  • @sexyboi719

    The hell does sexuality have to do with it?

  • @sexyboi719

    1 - That's like relating the color of oranges to the natural habitat of mongooses.

    2 - It's YOU'RE

  • @JDvzs It's Mongeese...

  • @sexyboi719 I'm a guy but I'm not straight. I can't thumbs up your comment. =[ Jk I'll do it anyway! XD

  • Yeah, it's true. This song sounds fantastic when played along with Clocks - Coldplay. Whoever found that out is a genius!

  • i enjoy the little al capone.

  • Who the fck is Elin Guedi?!

  • Tatum,

    I know this is only going to get lost in the sea of comments, but this song reminded me of you. It made me cry, I love you Tatum, with every fiber in my beating heart, I always will. I didn't deserve you with how perfect you are, with all the flaws you have. Being afraid is only natural, I shouldn't have acted the way I did, again, I love you.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 the fact you think i'm a guy really amuses me.

  • @CatchingStarlight DAMNNN u a bitch???? DAMNNN wanna bang???? smart bitchez like u dig my cock haha!!! i bet u finna 2 haha!!!!

  • @MegaBadBoi11 you suck at trolling, i'm sorry. LOLOL.

    anyway, i love this song! i remember hearing this once on the radio and i fell in love with it instantly <3. i can relate to this song a lot...

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Your spelling and punctuation are so appalling, I hope you die. For the record, you're an 11 year old wank stain thats sat listening to Sufjen Stevens while apparently surrounded by "90 mans" at a party? Who are the real femboys? Take your illiterate "megabadboi" self and kindly jump infront of a high speed train. (I pressume your mother gave you that wonderful name on account of you being such a joy to raise) Should.have.been.a.blow.job. x

  • @MegaBadBoi11 I see you troll.

  • best song for a long drive. so uplifting!

  • Yes it is!!! I just love this song....!!!!!

  • @thecottingleyfairy as in the driving sequence of "Little Miss Sunshine"? :)

  • This music is so beautiful. <3 :)

  • So few beautiful people willing to put themselves out there... Sufjan, you seem like one...

    I've given up on music, love, life.... I live for music that I no longer even aspire to play..... One of the very few pleasures I used to experience was writing ridiculous and potentially good songs... All things go... Thanks cat... See you on the other side. Not too soon. You've got a few decades left in you.

  • Oh my god. None of these posts belong even in the vicinity of this song.

  • this song gets borring at 6:05 ;)

  • @MarkNL13 hahah I totaly agree with you ;)

  • My English teacher played Sufjan's Christmas songs, and i just about died. I'm still in shock that my English teacher knows of this wonderful band! haha :)

  • You know, I kinda hate that the comments are mostly just replies and nothing really ABOUT the song. Makes me kinda sad because it's a beautiful song.

  • @irinaaification

    I know this is also a reply, but I was thinking the exact same thing, I didn't come here to argue over opinions, I came to listen to Sufjan's amazing voice<3

  • this song is so beautiful and peaceful. it reminds me of my best friend who lives in chicago

  • This MegaBadBoi guy's obviously trolling, stop giving him attention...

    On a lighter note, I love this song.

  • @tara2berry2 REALLLLLLLLLLL DEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, K? femmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! :P :P :P

  • @dcummuta haha yeah, @megabadboi11 better go to listen your mainstream music without content, the music that only talks about sx and parties...

  • @bepelias LOL DUDE!!!! u used 2 many big ass wordz hahahahaha!!!!! femmmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!­!!!! :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 lol, I think you need attention, why do not you look for some friend to talk or a dog to play or a online girlfriend or somerthing?

  • @MegaBadBoi11 that's the gayest thing I've read all week.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 What is it like to be a tool? I can totally call everyone a "femmy ass pussy" and tell them the gallons of estrogen I make "bitches" produce on the internet, but it seems like the most hollow victory life has to offer. Is it fun?

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Shut the fuck up, no one cares about your partying or some shit and no one cares if you don't like this music. We do, so leave these people alone.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Oh I'm sorry. Let me give it another shot. Do you know what a tryhard is?

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Really? One, what's wrong with effeminate guys? Two, how does talking like an unschooled moron make you sound more like a man? Your atrocious grammar and typing skills force me to double-check your message, because even the true idiocy of your words was hard to discern through the terrible grammar- well, not really. And three- why are you trolling? To troll is to deliberately hang around on a page or site and post inflammatory remarks, which is what you are doing.

  • @WardKeener LOL DUDE!!!! 2 many big ass wordz AGAIN HAHAHAHA!!!! n hell naw i ain't no troll i be the REAL DEALLL, k???? I LOVE TELLIN U FEM BOYZ HOW FEMMY U BE HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! femmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 fuck you.

  • @ecrofriaone FEMMMMM BOYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Dude I just want you to know that i feel sorry for you, because you will die with the inability to comprehend concepts that 10 year olds can. Your life must really suck if you have to get on youtube and make fun of people and beautiful music to get your kicks. There is really no way you get laid if this is your idea of fun.

  • @ProffesorChaosesFile LOL DUDE!!!! quit usin big ass wordz!!!! god damnn u fem boyz ain't know how 2 talk 2 real men at alll hahahaha!!!!!!!! femmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Ok your a troll i have decided. No one would say " know how 2 talk 2 real men at alll hahahaha!!!!!!!! femmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­­!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P".

  • @MegaBadBoi11 dude you sound like a fucking idiot

    i don't know what you're talking about or what ProffesorChaosesFile said, but your comment makes you look like a giggling moron.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Dude just shut up !! and listen to the song

  • @MegaBadBoi11 Go kill yourself, it would benefit the gene pool.

  • @MegaBadBoi11 "I cry because people are stupid and that makes me sad". THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!

  • @omgwtfbbq116 lol dude!!! what u talkin bout hahaha???!!! femmmm boyyyy!!! :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 want to know what i'm talking about? you sir, are a pitiful excuse for a human being, no morals, no respect for others and the audacity to come onto a song that you have no interest in, and call all of the viewers "fem boys". do realise that you are not being taken seriously by anyone here, and it would be in the general interest of the world if you jumped off a bridge.

  • @omgwtfbbq116 LOL DUDE!!!! u really wanna think those big ass wordz be dissin me huh hahaha??? LOL!!!! u fem boyz can't diss 4 shit hahahahahaha!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha!!!!!! damnnn u wish u could be like me so badddd hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! femmmmmmm boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! :P :P :P

  • @MegaBadBoi11 be like you? you must be joking. i would rather die than stoop to your level. and do you really think they are big words? i assure you that they are rather simple words. too bad you have the vocabulary of a five year old. also, fem boy does not offend me, please use a more creative insult next time, k thanks bye

  • @omgwtfbbq116 just let it go. his username is megabadboi11, he sounds like he could be (at least slightly) challenged. enjoy the music!

  • little miss sunshine

  • The next day, shredr18 typed in 'Learnt' into google and discovered it is a word.

  • thumbs up if chiddy bang brought you here!

  • @cmacnbn nothing to be proud of man

  • Heard this today on an Austin TX. radio station. Loved it @ first chorus. Which btw. I would love to hear the chorus done with a children's choir

  • Thanks to a DJ called Phill Beckett on a station called 96.2 The Revolution,i was introduced to Sufjan Stevens.

    Unfortunately,the station was bought out by a smashey and nicey twat (Steve Penk}and now plays endless m.o.r. shite like Phill collins and The lighthouse family.

    Thanks for the music Phil,Thanks for nothing Penk.

    Knobhead.

  • so beautiful 

  • I remember when my husband introduced me to Sufjan's music before we were dating, almost 4 years ago to the day. Ever since I heard this song, I adored this man's music. For our 1st anniversary this summer, my husband wrote out "Chicago" for his municipal band to perform in front of everyone, and he dedicated it to me. I felt like the happiest, luckiest girl ever, not only to have a fantastic husband who loves me so, but to also know this gorgeous music, which is the soundtrack to my life. :)

  • I never even heard of Sufjan Stevens. I think it was just a coincidence that I found this video after I had just moved back from Chicago. I lost my one true love while I was there and like Sufjan says...I made a lot of mistakes. This song truly touches hearts in every way possible. Thank you.

  • The amazing-ness of this song is something that creeps up on you and brings you to tears. It doesn't hit you on the head, it taps your shoulder and bewitches you slowly.

  • I can't decide which version I like better! This on of the adult contemporary version. I like the beginning of this one, but I don't like it when there are multiple people singing "All things go, all things go" :l .... BUT THERE BOTH PRETTY AMAZING

    AHHH

    I just have to buy both xD

  • my old history teacher used to play us sufjan stevens, bob dylan and even sugur ros albums during his class....learnt more about great music in those two years than i ever will about nazi germany or communist russia....king of a teacher!!!!

  • @stevymcc damn good teacher!

  • @shredr18

    1 - history teach, not English teacher.

    2 - who gives a crap anyway?

    3 - I think you'll find 'learnt' is a word - a simple past tense and past particle of 'to learn'... so yeah.

    make sure you know your English before you go trying to correct someone else's. Idiot.

  • @09bradonp ...the past tense of "learn" is "learned." you're retarded

  • @shredr18

    depends on what english speaking country you're in, who's the retard now?

  • @09bradonp Past PARTICIPLE. Not particle. If you don't know that You shouldn't be correcting other's attempts at correcting your English. Oh, and "learnt" is not and never will be a word. It's "learned."

  • @TheDancingSaxophone

    yeah so i spelled 'participle' wrong by accident, and 'learnt' or 'learned' depends on what English speaking country you're in, and I am in one where 'learnt' is the correct term.

  • @TheDancingSaxophone

    yeah so i spelt 'participle' wrong by accident, and 'learnt' or 'learned' depends on what English speaking country you're in, and I am in one where 'learnt' is the correct term. The same idea is used for other irregular verbs like 'burned-burnt' 'kneeled-knelt' 'spelled-spelt' etc...

  • @09bradonp it's only a word if you live in england. so if you do, then my mistake. but if not, then you're still an idiot. either way you can fuck yourself because i don't give a shit

  • @shredr18 You are so boring, isn't it?

  • @shredr18 actually learned and learnt are both the past simple/ participle. depends what english speaking country you are from. same as burned and burnt.

  • @shredr18 you are mentally ill :P 

  • Comment removed

  • @irinaaification you're a faggot

  • @shredr18 thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

  • Finally found this song <3

  • I'm in love with everything about this song.

  • Such a good song!!!

  • its kinda hard 2 have a full 24hr without listening to this song at least once =/

  • I think I have never seen a Youtube video with that many views and so few dislikes - seems like you can't really dislike this beautiful song :)

  • Chiddy bangg

  • CHIDDDDYYY 

  • i'm going to enjoy Illinoise and a lava lamp when i get home....

  • Sufjan is impossibly beautiful

  • NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    WHERE DID 6:04 GO?

    

  • @mwinsish lol omg good eye
