Sometimes a song is so beautiful that it brings tears to your eyes. Not sad or happy tears but tears of feeling life through such a beautiful work of art. To know that there is person out there that writes music like this gives me new hope for humanity
I cry so hard every time I hear this song-not because it actually makes me sad, but because it brings back so many memories from the summer camp I just came back from. Aaaaah, take me back.
i always ignored sufjan and will do so in future since i cannot cope with that neo folk whining BUT THAT ONE HERE ...!!! Buffalo Springfield meet Brian Wilson or a softer version of The Broken Beats' Little By Littel (no typo in this)
Please someone explain to my why this song has become an obsession. It's old it's far from relevant. It doesn't even paint a clear picture. I'm so crazy obsessed trying to find an explanation. Someone help please.

Keep pushing, keep finding! There is much hope to be found in music!
This song is a masterpiece. I've sat here trying to break it down and the only thing that pops up is beautiful.
a young man, a beautiful city, a youthful idealism, and nothing but time

something tells me there's a lot more to this than streetlights and chicago maps to this song, but somehow this feels right.
I luv this song!!! I remember listening to his music whwn I was really little!!!
This song has such a cool retro sound to it(80’s) lyrics are simple, yet powerful prose.
Always a magical track and a charming piece of film to go with it.
I shall have to go that city in the Midwest. I'm sure it is grand, it must be if it inspires such a lovely song!
I hope in this past decade you had the chance 😊
