The respect of the audience always stands out at a Sufjan concert in the silence while he plays and speaks. It’s beautiful.

It's one like to sufjan and always one like for the audience.

i was there man. that "true story" bit will stay with me forever

Growing up in Illinois (and even a city he dedicated a song too shout out Prairie Fire That Wanders About), Sufjan looks like that midwestern uncle who only shows up to holidays every other year because he’s usually busy deer and/or duck hunting. But then he starts singing and you’re like 🥺🥺 you’re not a midwestern uncle who hunts every weekend and drinks bud light by the case you’re the love of my life (aside from my husband of course)

Sufjan talking: deep-voiced stand-up comic Sufjan singing: WE ARE NOT WORTHY

The second he started playing I died, true story

Purple rain came from the 1970’s song Ventura Highway

2:32 what the hell how did he even go back to his angelic voice lol

How is his voice the voice of an angel even when he has a cold. So blessed to have heard him in this life

That guitar breakdown is heavenly. This is freaking devine.

God damn it, there's just not a bad version of this. Genius

Saw Sufjan at Boston Calling a few years ago… this song and his set was stunning. Never heard him before that - it made the show and I’m since a huge fan.

I fell in love again All things go, all things go Drove to Chicago All things know, all things know We sold our clothes to the state I don't mind, I don't mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind, in my mind You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go I drove to New York In a van, with my friend We slept in parking lots I don't mind, I don't mind I was in love with the place In my mind, in my mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind, in my mind You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go If I was crying In the van, with my friend It was for freedom From myself and from the land I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset (I made a lot of mistakes) All things know, all things know (I made a lot of mistakes) You had to find it (I made a lot of mistakes) All things go, all things go (I made a lot of mistakes

This is clearly an angel come to earth, pay close attention to him, he is shockingly and uncannily beautiful and musically gifted

excellent

Only got invested in his music 2 years ago, a shame I wasn't able to see him in Manchester, who knows if he'll tour again :(

Such a beautiful song. MCR: One Love

His music reminds me of fallen rose petals ... ephemeral .. haunting .. sweet . Fragile and exposed

He has such a gentle speaking voice, too. I loved this so much.

such a beautiful version of this song. I feel like this might be the version you'd hear if it was released on carrie and Lowell. phenomenal

He is so handsome, and his voice oh my godness im melting, I'M IN HEAVEN

Absolutely beautiful. I love this stripped down version. It just flows through me like a sweet memory. Truly special.

That was heavy ❤

How could anyone not love this man?

I love how the most watched section of this video is the entire song

Oh, thanks.

Still,after almost 2 decades,I have not seen such art live. All I want in my life,music wise,is to Sufjan live.

One of the most magnificient , magical ,rejuvenating ,evergreen pieces of music ever .....coming from the genius mind of a divinely gifted artist ...quintessentially capturing the whole spectrum of the most humane emotions and encompassing them in this immersive art to youthfully eternalize the human soul .....forever:)

Me too..

though i do love the powerful chorus of the original song, i think i love this version much better. it’s so peaceful, steven’s strumming is so calm and beautiful, and the woman’s vocals reminds me of the strings from Bittersweet Symphony

Here from the Politician, awesome show and it helped me find this beautiful song

I love watching him sing...beautiful

Heard a cover of this by The Staves... That was beautiful... This is hauntingly so.

What a beautiful version

Oh the Lady made the song more beautiful with her harmony

He’s so fucking wise. Emotionally too.

This is very precious I cried .. I really wish i was there

I have only just come across him. How wonderful! Paul Simon echoes for sure. Special.

I almost cried. this saves my day!

This man is up there with Prince and that he a knowledges him makes my heart grow bigger 💜💜💜

Sufjan why are you so beautiful... in every f*%#ing way. 😭

Thanks for posting this

What a great version :)

I absolutely love this

Beautiful ❤️
