Interesting story I swiped from Songmeanings.net - 'Sufjan performed in Belgium on March 10, 2004... He explains the origin of the name of the song. I'll just quote what he says here: "Let me do a song really quick about a small town up here called Paradise. Michigan has Paradise as well as Hell Michigan. It's kind of interesting. And, Um Paradise is a place...I noticed when we went up there to play a football tournament in high school, I noticed that there was all these single mothers and women and grandmothers but there weren't any men, and so I had sort of devised a story in my mind that they had all died in the war and that they were all widows. But they were really a very happy and optimistic community and they all seemed to be working together, and it was, like, women of the world take over. This is for the widows in Paradise." '

This is so hauntingly gorgeous. Came across it entirely by mistake on Spotify months after I first heard him: it's simpler than anything else he ever did but so mesmerisingly beautiful, enchanting
