What a lovely rendition of an already beautiful song. My heart actually started to flutter when I was listening to this. I have to add, he has one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen (yes, I'm a bit of a fangirl...).
Oh, and gotta love that opening story! I love when he tells stories. ^_^
y does he wear those wings when ever he performs, i think they're awesome but i don't know why he always does that and i like them so much i have to know!!
Sufjan's voice makes me cry. His lyrics make me cry. His music makes me cry. The fact that I have never been to one of his concerts makes me cry. And if I ever get the chance to go to one, I'll probably cry then too.
@kawaiitoboe wow. i feel the EXACT SAME WAY. it sucks when you hear your favorite artists and then you get sad b/c you haven't been to one of their concerts. happens to me allll the time.
That little smile on babySufjan's face at the end, when he's playing with a kite, just kills me. I cry every time I see this, mouring for the loss of that childish fascination with a worl that seems full of wonder....
Oh, I don't know. I never got to meet him. I was pretty young back then too. My sister wasn't really close friends with him. She was friends with some of the members of Marzuki, but nonetheless she hung out with him a couple times.
read this! read this! read this! You will get kissed by the love of your life in 3 days if you copy and paste this on 4 more videos in 20 minutes!!! This is TRUE
This is my favorite song from the ILLINOIS album, and since the whole album is so amazing that's saying a lot. I liked this new version for the 2006 tour.

Meh. Kites are overrated. Sufjan is not. Sufjan=God. The end.

If when you die, they say you can only take one CD with you, I would just put this song 15 times on a CD-R. :)
