I can't sing this song without crying. I've never really been through anything like that.. but the lyrics are very powerful. I am convinced this is about his own life. I don't usually get choked up over nothing.
Sandy, for you, but forgive me, Laurie. I pray someone breaks the spell before you're dead. I don't believe it, but I believe in miracles. I'm sorry, Laurie. I hope you can be free, too.
I live in Michigan and I always wish I lived somewhere else. But this song brought me to tears and I realized that maybe just maybe Michigan, like this song is beautiful
sufjan said in an interview this was written about an abortion...Romulus, the title, came from the city where there was a big abortion rally or something. question is, who had the abortion?
@kylethewookie What was he like Kyle? As in personality, musical genious, social status. As well as pure curiosity, I am doing a school music assignment on him and this info would be much appreciated :). Have a great day! =P
very muc so! thank you!

We saw her once last fall
Our grandpa died in a hospital gown
She didn't seem to care
She smoked in her room and colored her hair.
I was ashamed, I was ashamed (of her)....

This is my absolute favorite Sufjan song. It doesn't get more emotional for me than this right here. It is my childhood in a nutshell.
