    The respect of the audience always stands out at a Sufjan concert in the silence while he plays and speaks. It’s beautiful.

      It's one like to sufjan and always one like for the audience.

      People don’t do that anymore. I’m so glad you pointed that out. Like they’re just musicians. We need to wait for them to make magic.

      Purple rain came from the 1970’s song Ventura Highway

    How is his voice the voice of an angel even when he has a cold. So blessed to have heard him in this life

    Growing up in Illinois (and even a city he dedicated a song too shout out Prairie Fire That Wanders About), Sufjan looks like that midwestern uncle who only shows up to holidays every other year because he’s usually busy deer and/or duck hunting. But then he starts singing and you’re like 🥺🥺 you’re not a midwestern uncle who hunts every weekend and drinks bud light by the case you’re the love of my life (aside from my husband of course)

    This is clearly an angel come to earth, pay close attention to him, he is shockingly and uncannily beautiful and musically gifted

    Saw Sufjan at Boston Calling a few years ago… this song and his set was stunning. Never heard him before that - it made the show and I’m since a huge fan.

    I fell in love again
    All things go, all things go
    Drove to Chicago
    All things know, all things know
    We sold our clothes to the state
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    In my mind, in my mind
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset
    All things know, all things know
    You had to find it
    All things go, all things go
    I drove to New York
    In a van, with my friend
    We slept in parking lots
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I was in love with the place
    In my mind, in my mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    In my mind, in my mind
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset
    All things know, all things know
    You had to find it
    All things go, all things go
    If I was crying
    In the van, with my friend
    It was for freedom
    From myself and from the land
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset
    All things know, all things know
    You had to find it
    All things go, all things go
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset (I made a lot of mistakes)
    All things know, all things know (I made a lot of mistakes)
    You had to find it (I made a lot of mistakes)
    All things go, all things go (I made a lot of mistakes

    One of the most magnificient , magical ,rejuvenating ,evergreen pieces of music ever .....coming from the genius mind of a divinely gifted artist ...quintessentially capturing the whole spectrum of the most humane emotions and encompassing them in this immersive art to youthfully eternalize the human soul .....forever:)

    though i do love the powerful chorus of the original song, i think i love this version much better. it’s so peaceful, steven’s strumming is so calm and beautiful, and the woman’s vocals reminds me of the strings from Bittersweet Symphony
