I love Sufjan Stevens and was once humming fourth of July on a subway ride. Suddenly the old lady sitting near me gives me a shocking stare. That is when I realised that I was singing this line "we're all gonna die" repeatedly.

Visions of Gideon not in the Top 10 Sufjan songs... WatchMojo just lost all credibility for me... I honestly think there are few songs that are that emotionally powerful. True it's based on movie or book characters and their context, but managing for that to make a devastating emotional punch like it's something so real, is truly beyond words.

Me too! But people often categorise his music as melancholy and although some of his songs are indeed that, I find his so much of his music uplifting and exalting. Even the melancholy music feels incredibly honest and therefore affirming. Plus his story telling puts you emotionally right there.

Sufjan Stevens is easily one of my most favorite musicians of all time. There's something deeply poignant and intimate in so many of his songs, as if we're hearing a man lay his soul bare, and he has a talent for making an honest connection with listeners. I discovered Carrie & Lowell around the same time my grandfather, who had at one point been rather estranged from his daughter (my mother), was dying of dementia. Somehow listening to it not only soothed my own aches, but helped me feel a potion of what my mother was likely feeling. And that's the magic of Stevens's music--it's not just a song, it's not just an album, it's an experience. Such a joy to see this pop up in my subscriptions feed.

I had to go out of state for a work training for a few days and I brought nothing but 2 days of clothes. I went on google and searched what bars had open mics that week and found one nearby. I sang “Death With Dignity” acapella (I’m a very good singer) and the whole place was dead silent the entire time and there was about 10 seconds of dead silence after I finished before the place ERUPTED. This was a few weeks after Carrie & Lowell was released and I doubt anyone knew who Sufjan was either way. Amazing experience

What is with people implying that he is less-than because they have never heard of him? It's arrogant and nobody cares. Popularity isn't always equatable with high quality. Besides music, just like all art, is very subjective. If it doesn't connect with you then that's fine but there is no need to go shit on others for thinking it's good just because it is not to your taste.

There is no song on this planet that gives me more chills than "I Want To Be Well" off Sufjan's 2010 album Age of Adz. It carries a double meaning between fearing illness, and fearing mediocrity. I found the song as I was having an existential crisis while in the hospital, and the song described exactly how I was feeling. It starts out almost upbeat, with many layers (as is his specialty), speaking both about his illness (he was quite sick as he wrote Age of Adz) and "ordinary" and what it means to him, and as the song goes on it gets more and more desperate, repeatedly pleasing that he wants to be well, culminating in him saying "I'm not fucking around", over the repeated "I want to be well", and there's just so much raw emotion and desperation in his voice and it just turns your veins to ice and skin to goosebumps.

Listening to Sufjan perform "Impossible Soul" in Dublin was my favourite moment of my musical history

I love Sufjan, he's a great lyricist. I love the part in '4th of july' when he sings like his mother at her deathbed and she tells him "Did you get enough love, my little dove, why do you cry? And I'm sorry I left but it was for the best, though it never felt right, my little Versailles". I also love the part in 'I walked' that says "I've come to explain why I left such a mess on the floor. For when you went away, I went crazy, I was wild with the breast of a dog. I ran through the night with a knife in my chest, with the lust of your loveless bite". I also love this part from 'John My Beloved': "So can we pretend sweetly before the mystery ends? I am a man with a heart that offends with its lonely and greedy demands. There's only a shadow of me, in a matter of speaking I'm dead". I absolutely love 'The predatory wasp of the palisades...', "We were in love, we were in love, palisades, palisades, I can wait, I can wait". And adore 'They are night zombies...', specially the part at the middle to the end of the song, the catharsis: "I know, I know, my time is past, I'm not so young, I'm not so fast. I tremble with the nervous thought of having been at last forgot". And Age of Adz is amazing. :D

A bit of my journey: I found out about Sufjan Stevens a month ago throughout Instagram suggested songs, I choose "Mystery of Love" for one of my videos from Biltmore Estate. After loving the part of the song for days I searched here for the whole song and I found out about the movie "Call me by your name" then I watched the movie and I fell in love with the movie. Then I heard the soundtracks of the movie and I found out about Futile Devices and Visions of Gideon, I love the songs as well. Then I fell in love with "I should have known better". Days later I search Sufjan's interviews and I found one from MTV, I was like " MTV? Are you serious? I checked the video upload date and it was from 14 years ago!! Wow 🤯 how I have never had heard of Sufjan Stevens before. I keep learning more about him, such an amazing artist.

Gacy hits me every time. It’s the most haunting singing I’ve ever heard as a musician I don’t even know how to explain it. Every time no matter what I have goosebumps and left feeling ill. It’s powerful expression of sound and art

Chicago is definitely my favourite of his songs, it has a lot of special memories attached to it for me, that and death with dignity never fail to bring tears to my eyes.

He has many great songs, but the most haunting for me (not on the video list I mean) are 'The Fourth of July', 'We won't Need Legs to Stand,' 'A Good Man is Hard to Find', and perhaps 'Sister'... Oh, and also' 'Holland', and 'Marching Band.'

The first time I listened to Sufjan Stevens was after watching Grave of the Fireflies and I went on KZbin and a suggested video had the opening scene of Seita and Setsuko as the thumbnail, and the title read Fourth of July by Sufjan Steven so I click on it and began bawling uncontrollably.
