About This Track

The lyrics of “Chicago” are a particularly striking aspect of the song, in Pitchfork’s review of the album Illinois it was said that ” “Chicago” cagily celebrates the innate (and deeply American) tendency to employ highways as escape routes, ditching old mistakes for new swatches of land, new plates of eggs, new parking lots.”

    I will always love Sufjan Stevens. I might forget some of the artists I currently listen to 30 years from now...but I WILL NEVER forget Sufjan.

    It's his voice, that's putting me off. Everything else is great.

    This is a good song, but I can't get excited about it. It's well made, and a lovely song, I just can't get into it the way I'd like to.
