    This song is a prime example of why Sufjan is in a class by himself...like rajazan said, no artist can even come close to what this guy can do.

    The metaphores, his voice, the piano... everything fits so well and goes straight into my soul. :)

    Sufjan has a beautiful voice, Avey does not. (I love AnCo)

    The way he sings this song reminds me of Avey Tare from Animal Collective at points.

    Ahh, where I went to high school there was a tannery, and a creek by the tannery. I should go back and kiss someone there.
