Sufjan Stevens is the van Gogh of modern music, he has taken pain and sadness and turned it into ecstatic beauty...many artists sing about pain and sadness, but only Sufjan takes that pain and weaves it into something greater, something unique. I don't think there's been a musician quite like him in this century.

My close friend hanged himself in 2018 and I do think I have been able to cope up with his loss till this day. I still wish if things weren't like this, wish I had the ability to listen to him, just listen that time he wanted me to have an ear.
His name was Rajneesh. His b'day is in 10 days and this makes me feel so much closer to him.
Thank you SS.
Love you Rajneesh. Hope you are at peace.

Sufjan ends one of his posts from Feb 2017 saying “To gain your life is to lose it. To lose your life is to gain it. The life you live is not your own. Give your life away.” When I look at him, I see a person who’s given their life away to greatness, for greatness. I can’t claim I understand music. But I know Sufjan is a great man, and in My Rajneesh, it shows.

that magical part ( 3:50 ) when the choir starts singing loudly and the trumpets join in: I feel every emotion all at once: Sufjan is brilliant

I gotta be honest guys, I ironically started listening to Sufjan Stevens back in 2014 when that article was published claiming his fans had the highest IQs. Overtime however the music has grown on me and I've genuinely enjoyed it for a while now (or at least have successfully deluded myself into thinking I enjoy it lol). This song hits the spot man. The emotional appeal of this song has such a broad range, from uplifting and beautiful to forlorn and almost disturbing. When people refer to music as art, this is definitely a song that fits that description.

This song sounds like Sufjan Stevens went back in time to collaborate with other Sufjan Stevens's.
