This is my favorite Sufjan song. The audio on this is terrible, but I am so glad you posted it. I have been to the Mississippi Palisades many times (they are in Illinois, what this is about) and this songs gives me chills, it is so beautiful. I love the metaphors in the song.
You are right, that harmony is my favorite part of that song. I keep it on Itunes and keep pushing the slider back to hear just that part. It is wonderful.
I hope your cover of it at college turns out really well. Maybe post it onto Youtube once you do it -- or post it here as a video response.
wow this is so cool! you're the oboist arthur sato right? well thank you for contributing to a wonderful show! and i never really thought about your predicament. i can just imagine sitting there wanting to turn your head to see what's going on. glad i could help in a small way.

"I can't explain the state I am in. The state of my heart. He was my best friend."
from Predatory Wasp
"He approached my window
I was hypnotized, I was asked
To improvise
On the attitude, the regret
Of a thousand centuries of death "
from Come on! Feel the Illinoise.
The most beautiful lyrics he sings. So amazing.

the only thing that dissapoints me is he doesn't do the 5 part harmony in this song. im covering it at college and we're gonna try it =]

Probably the single greatest musical performance I have ever had the pleasure to attend.
