Chicago (6:03)
2,145,299 plays (257,743 listeners)
The most beautiful song ever written.
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 agree, I was a little distraught when I realized Sufjan came to Bloomington, I had a tear rolling down my cheek when I was passing by the theater. I wasn't able to attend =\
