In my college years I discovered a remarkable musician/artist: Sufjan Stevens. My husband and I had one of his songs, "Vito's Ordination", play as the recessional at our wedding. It was very fitting to us. It's been a number of years since he's released anything resembling an album until just a couple of weeks ago. I find myself craving his new songs just like I used to his old ones (which I still must listen to every now and then). They are like sustenance for the soul. The way he sings, especially on this album, captures a myriad of emotion and depth of heart. His lyrics are raw yet whimsical yet enigmatic at times. So, please, I beg you, have a listen. At first you may find it too strange, just keep listening and I think you will discover why Sufjan is one of the artists I most love.
