Sufjan Casmir Pulaski Day

Definently on the top ten saddest songs I've ever heard. Beautiful.

seagull!!!!

Trumpet player is top notch

this song never fails to choke me up.

the girl in the tight t-shirt...
fell in love
great song too btw.

Nice work. Elegant.

The girl in the tight T-shirt made the song for me though & I didn't realise that she was playing xylophone (?) until the very end of the clip. I just thought she was standing there with her hands behind her back in her tight T-shirt...

Sufjan deserves to be my husband. I would....for him. And shame on you all for not appreciating this amazing music. Learn it and love it. Dance to it like a big ol' dork like I do.

Sufjan seems to be an interesting composer. Wouldn't it be nice to hear, say,
Bela Fleck, Dan Tyminski, Yo Yo Ma, Jerry Douglas, and I dunno, maybe Allison Krauss on a track like this. The added All-Star musicianship would really bring out another level of this composition and I think do justice to this man's creative work!

In my opinion, Sufjan's work stands perfect by itself... If you add too much complicity to music, it can lose a lot of value. Sometimes a few chords is all you need to evoke powerful emotions, as Sufjan so elegantly shows us.

ridiculous. i guess you havent listened to any of his other works or symphonic arrangements. search "sufjan bqe". nuff said.
