Sufjan Stevens, Chicago

Today I've got another soothing acoustic folk song for you. These kinds of songs are probably my favourite but I promise there will be many other genres and styles over the course of this series.

Sufjan Stevens is a man full of emotion and conflict and that definitely comes out in his music. I'll probably include more of his songs in this series but for today I'd like to share with you an acoustic version of the song “Chicago”. This song was originally released on the album “Illinois” but the acoustic version I have fallen in love with was released later on the album “The Avalanche”.

This song means a lot to me both in relation to real events and people as well as for itself and I can only hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
