Sufjan Stevens

I just found this video on Youtube and remembered what a great songwriter Sufjan Stevens is. This is called For The Widows In Paradise, For The Fatherless In Ypsilanti and it's from the album Michigan. He's such a good composer, so if you haven't yet heard much of his stuff look up Illinoise - probably his best and most successful album. Unlike Michigan, it has a more orchestral nature and the songs are very lavishly arranged, making use of a wide variety of instruments. Personally, I also find Illinoise is a happier album and it is much more upbeat in general.
