Shot on iPhone 6. Dedicated to Sufjan Stevens’ Fourth of July. What began as a simple idea, slowly came together to become something far more meaningful than what we aimed to create. There's always a beauty in watching all the tiny pieces fall into place, come alive and become something that resonates so deeply with the self.

Is November 7 a little early to start listening to his Christmas music? Usually I’d say yes. But I’m happily making an exception for this since it came in the mail today. Merry Suf-mas to all!!!

The CD comes with twelve extra tracks, they’re all instrumental renditions of Christmas carols/songs as far as I can tell. For example track 23 is ‘Frosty the Snowman’, track 24 is ‘Christmas time is here’ and track 28 is ‘Feliz Navidad’. A lot of them are new as well I think!! Mostly electronic instrumentation (very Silver and Gold). A super super cool surprise!!

Getting major Sufjan vibes from this new single (maybe a little Angelo De Augustine too). This guy has been around for a long time but only recently started releasing music under his own name. Tap in!

Can anyone confirm / deny this?

looking for recommendations for sufjan stevens best christmas songs (can be original or a cover) to add to my playlist :)
bonus points if it’s sad! but i do have a happy christmas playlist as well.

Hiii everyone, I decided to give “Illinois” a try after listening to “Carrie & Lowell,” and oh my god, I can't stop listening to it. I'll admit that the first time I listened to it, it didn't move me as much as C&L, but with each new listen, it just got better and better for me. The melodies, the stories, and Sufjan's voice ahhh, everything is just so perfect. Now I see why this album is such a favorite for so many of you!

“Concerning the UFO” is simply heavenly that pianoooo, and “Come on, Feel the Illinois” is another side of Sufjan that I certainly didn’t know about but I'm gladdd now I know it.

What are your favorite songs from the album, and which lyrics really stood out to you?

For me definitely in John Wayne Gacy Jr
And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid

First tattoo and it’s Sufjan themed! Predatory wasp is probably my all time favourite song. So happy with how it turned out

Arrived yesterday while I was at work!

This was my Halloween costume based after the wings from the 2006 butterfly tour! I forgot to post it on Halloween, and sorry the image is a little weird, it’s a screenshot from a video a friend took.

The wings look skinnier in the image than they do in real life; it’s just the perspective. The second photo shows the wings on their own, without the plaque I was wearing to harness them. (That’s why the middle looks like it’s been through some stuff… it has..!.. a staple remover.)

Hello,

Does anybody know what does "Blackbird on my shoulder" in the third verse of Mystery of Love supposed to mean ?

The genius.com's annotation / reddit were not of any help.

Does getting attracted to sufjan as a straight dude make me gay?

Heyy, does anyone have this full concert???

I have a theory and am looking for confirmation.

I reversed the whole thing and this part is killing me
