  • When I was a christian, he was refreshing. When I became an athiest, he was uplifting. And now when I'm lost, he still soothes. He doesn't let his evangelical intent guide his aesthetics. It's about music. Weather God made it or something else, music is music and is uncorruptable in it's true form. Sufjan obviously is a genuine and sincere musician who is not out to convert the world, but to play music for his own personal reasons, I think because he has real faith in a God he trusts and loves.

  • No way, the wings are EPIC. Don't let it affect your testosterone LOL, Sufjan & co. always wears costumes on stage and it adds to their well, epicness. It's part of the act. I remember hearing an interview where he said he does all the costume and get ups cause he doesn't want to take himself too seriously and be kind of theatrical which suits his music really.

  • @macaibhistin With his guitar I think.

  • Does anyone know how he is playing this song?

  • @SovietVV "Not to be taken too seriously?"  Too late for that.

  • @Troggawa Wow, that is the saddest testimony ever.

  • Being an agnostic (sorry, I know many of you are tired of the religious thread directions), I think I can still appreciate his personal connection while having a connection of my own, if only for the beauty of the music/voice. In my opinion, it is people like Stevens (as well as Bruce Cockburn, Innocence Mission, and a few others) that make 'spiritual' music accessible to those of us that are not necessarily 'of the faith.' Regardless, it can't help but make you feel good.

  • @NRJ1977 I merely hope that he/she is happy with him/herself. That's all that's important.

  • @Troggawa Beautifully put. I hope you are a Christian again. :)

  • This song has every meaning to expectations of life.

  • God bless this video, this song

    this kid his whole life long

  • i dont understand how anyone could dislike this song, no matter what ur religious views are sufjans music transcends them alll...
