    Featuring artwork by Sufjan Stevens
    Lyrics:
    Chase away my heart and heartache
    Run me over, throw me over, cast me out
    Find a river running to the west wind
    Just above the shoreline
    You will see a cloud
    Tie me to a tiny wooden raft
    Burn my body, point me to the undertow
    Push me off into the void at last
    Watch me drift and watch me struggle
    let me go... ’cause I really wanna know:
    Will anybody ever love me?
    For good reasons
    Without grievance, not for sport
    Will anybody ever love me?
    In every season
    Pledge allegiance to my heart
    Pledge allegiance to my burning heart
    Hello wildness please forgive me now
    For the heartache and the misery I create
    Take my suffering as I take my vow
    Wash me now, anoint me
    With that golden blade
    Tie me to the final wooden stake
    Burn my body, celebrate the afterglow
    Wash away the summer sins I made
    Watch me drift and
    Watch me struggle, let me go
    ’cause I really wanna know:
    Will anybody ever love me?
    For good reasons
    Without grievance, not for sport
    Will anybody ever love me?
    In every season
    Pledge allegiance to my heart
    Pledge allegiance to my burning heart
    Credits:

This is how I entered Islam. Read about our Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, whom Allah sent as a mercy to the worlds, to keep us away from Hell and admit us to Paradise by following him, Allah willing, for he is one of Allah prophets at the end of time. .. ..

      @@sleepteam YES! There is def a spiritual element to all this. I'm a new fan. I had never ever heard of Sufjan Stevens until this year. (Publicist much? 😯) It's important to note I think that I'm 54 and forever chasing the weird. But I'm a rocker chick. Led Zeppelin. Stones. Black Crowes. EDM and folk music have never super-been my thing. So flash forward about 3 months ago and I am in an album listening group and someone shared Illinois. I dutifully listened. 😳 🫤 🤔 I didn't know how to like it! But in the Bible Jacob wrestled the angel to receive his blessing. And I wrestled Illinois until I started to see why everyone says it's a masterpiece. I don't think I will ever stop hearing something new with each listen but I have now become familiar with it and fond of it....and I have experienced how it draws me in. And now just about every conversation I Sufjan Stevens just in case someone doesn't know about it. Hahahah.
      Then about a month ago the group had a go with the Ascension. It was so different I had to wrestle again. Long story short? It has surpassed Illinois for me. The spiritual themes demand futuristic music and the songs flow together so well. I can listen to it back to back to back to back. Its comforting and exhilarating and convicting...it speaks to me, gets me thinking about important things. It calls me to prayer. It makes me worshippy! 🥹 it is supernatural the amount of joy this album brings me.

      Just about every single song from his solo albums was completely made by him. That’s all instruments, backup vocals (a few vocalists do women’s voices, Shara Nova mainly), mixing, mastering, etc. It’s really unbelievable, especially on Illinois because of how maximalist the instrumentals are. Then with Adz he mastered electronics/synths on his first attempt. And awesome this album will come with his artwork and poems/short stories, a true artist!

      @@mclarensaleenf7 As much as I love Sufjan, and he plays A LOT of instruments, these albums are ALL collaborative efforts. For example, look at how many musicians worked on Illinoise besides Sufjan. Saying that he made the album by himself is seriously undermining to all the musicians who make Sufjan's art possible:
      Alan Douches - mastering at West West Side Music, Tenafly, New Jersey
      The Illinoisemaker Choir - backing vocals and clapping on "The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'", "Chicago", "The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts", "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!", and "The Tallest Man, the Broadest Shoulders"
      Tom Eaton
      Jennifer Hoover
      Katrina Kerns
      Beccy Lock
      Tara McDonnell
      The String Quartet - strings on "Come On! Feel the Illinoise (Part II)", "Jacksonville", "A Short Reprise for Mary Todd", "Chicago", "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!", and "The Tallest Man, the Broadest Shoulders"
      Julianne Carney - violin
      Marla Hansen - viola
      Maria Bella Jeffers - cello
      Rob Moose - violin
      Katrina Kerns - backing vocals on "Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois", "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!", "Jacksonville", "Prairie Fire That Wanders About", "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!", "The Seer's Tower", "The Tallest Man, the Broadest Shoulders", and "The Avalanche"
      James McAlister - drums (credited in the liner notes with "all the sophisticated drum parts"), drum engineering
      Craig Montoro - trumpet, backing vocals on "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back from the Dead!! Ahhhh!"
      Matt Morgan - backing vocals on "Decatur, or, Round of Applause for Your Stepmother!"

You may just be another child of God but ive never ever heard music like yours. It splits me wide open. You are in fact channeling the holy spirit, i can feel it when i listen to you.

    The fact that he ends the song with that vocal choir not finishing the song back in that hopeful Bb it started out as at 3:48 makes it even more heart wrenching and unfulfilling. i can only imagine what’s going on in his heart.

      when all _"Will Anybody Ever Love Me?"_ strike, _how so much love is in tide?_
      In our labyrinths, we often falter, unable to deny,
      Our deep need for "reassurance" and "stroking" from the sky.
      Behind our grown-up facades, we tend to hide,
      Our fragile, easily wounded selves, deep inside.
      Without a protective shield, in love, we must reside,
      Feel every nuance, in each other, confide.
      To nurture love, we must vulnerably convey,
      _"Have I hurt you?"_ and _"I still love you"_ to say.
      _a sure sign we've grasped what it takes to be a grown-up, learning to give, not just demand._
