Another Christmas music boxset next year would be good.
Went straight to find this version of Futile after reading your post, its one of my favourite Sufjan songs. Obviously its brilliant.
Itās one of the best songs ever written IMO.
Fucking hell, I didnāt think this song could get any better but this version is crushing. Iāve listened to it three times already.
I would agree with that.
Call Me By Your Name was a fucking mint film, Soof songs fit incredibly well, Futile Devices version breathtaking there. Loved it. The Greatest Gift is sounding lush, but not had the chance for a proper full listen yet.
Listening to this for the first time, itās great. Anyone else reminded of āOne More Robotā by the Flaming Lips by the āAll of Me Wants All of Youā remix?
Sad state of affairs (and a selfish standpoint I know), but I keep seeing this thread bumped and thinking āoh no, not him as well?ā
Bloody love Sufjan.
Both versions here:
Great stuff, weāve pretty much had an albumās worth of new(ish) Suf this year now!
FJM is not fit to lace Sufjan Stevensās boots.
Heās a known troll, ignore him
Itās almost as if Sufjan knows new material will drum up particular excitement nowā¦as weāre all digging out his christmas boxsets and putting them on repeat.
Iām listening to Illinois as we speak.
SUFJAAAAAAAAAAAAN! shakes fist
My eldest has requested two Sufjan tracks (Sister Winter and Get Behind Me, Santa) for her classās Christmas playlist
This is a running theme IIRC?
She has excellent taste
Just about the most hackneyed trope of modern music - people mistakenly think it makes them sound like they are āfor realā. The longer Sufjan avoids it the better.
Yes, sheās a little obsessed with the Songs For Christmas boxset
One of the most established ways of trying to fake emotional intensity (and sound like Chris Martin).
