John Wayne Gacy, Jr. by Sufjan Stevens

I love juxtaposition of opposites in arts. In the case of this song, they are the extremely dark subject matter and the characteristicly and hauntingly beautiful Stevensian melody

The video has got nothing to do with the song (maybe another juxtaposition?), and it might make you dizzy
