I wonder why you uploaded it when it is already on youtube oO

[eburn]

@IndependentPresident it wasn't when i did (3 years ago)

[Wrbhoover]

I really enjoyed that. I love the song. I love the banjo.

[eburn]

Yes, this song is beautiful.

[sullenity]

oh my god. no way!!!! this song is phenomenal....... wow... my heart just broke a little. this song is too pretty for words. if you havent heard the innocence mission, i highly recommend hearing it... its too good..

[eames1280]

Every single note of this song is absolutely gorgeous.

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Haha "it's too cold!!!" So adorable. And then in the scene he has a jacket.

[suneesunshine22]

it's angelic & fluttery, comical...well, & just plain old beautiful. if i could just intravenously feed Sufjan's music into my veins, the days would flow like water

@eburn The real one from LaBlogotheque was uploaded on May 31st 2007 ;)

[zaqnunley]

I guess I never realized how different his speaking voice is from his singing voice...wow

@getshorty75 It's called he likes the song and obviously has respect for the band if he wants to cover it. So.. why not?

[getshorty75]

not as great as the original - the song is actually about Karen Parish from the Innocent Mission's inability to have children; she miscarried several with her husband, also in the band. The "laughing man" in question is Death. It seems absurd that a man is singing a song about a woman's personal experience with miscarriage. ???
