Sufjan is not fucking around. 

[jooonlove]

This is a great song. I love looking at this song from a perspective of someone who always thought of Sufjan as a happy artsy fartsy singer, and then...

I'M NOT FUCKING AROUND

...oh.

[antiquesroadshow101]

I completely agree. I remember going through times of remorse or regret and listening to this song while driving.

[meatpuncher]

This song is like an auditory representation of some immaculately beautiful fever dream.

Shut up idiot

[ThePenguinforce]

I knew that it was coming until it hit me like a truck. My god, he isn't fucking around.

[BoobyMcDoogle]

I remember the first time I heard this song. Sufjan singing "I'm not fucking around" in 5/4 time took me by surprise. All the articles about the new album were like "Sufjan Stevens: Not Fucking Around"

I have a rare chemical condition of the brain that can lead me to the brink of insanity sometimes. It's like a roller coaster of headaches and crazy mental states that are constantly changing. To this day I haven't found a song that perfectly describes what I go through all of the time. The lyrics paint such a vivid picture of my condition. That's the beauty of all forms of art. It can perfectly describe how we're feeling better than we ever could ourselves. 'I want to be well'

this tore me apart, yet i loved it.

[ThosePelicans]

This song is the first song to truly speak to me in a long fucking while; everything, especially the lyrics, is immaculate.

[Lolamielx]

the drumsticks at the beginning totally made me think of " stealing society " by System of a Down :)
