Rosie Thomas and Sufjan Stevens - Much Farther To Go
This song came up on shuffle in my iTunes, and I hadn’t heard it in ages. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed it!
I picked it up, since I generally love Sufjan Stevens and it was Amazon’s $3.99 mp3 album of the day.
It’s not bad, but I really love his less electronic work. There’s some of it here, just not as much as I would choose if I got to pick exactly how a new Sufjan album would sound.

Sufjan Stevens - Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day? (Well, You Deserved It!)
Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder
I call you from the comet’s cradle. / I found you trembling by yourself. / When the night falls lightly on your right-wing shoulder; / wonderful know-it-all slightly where the night gets colder.
Oh, conscience, where will you carry me? / I found you, star of terrifying effigies. / When the night falls, I carry myself to the fortress / of your glorious coat. Oh, I may seek your fortress?
When the night falls, we see the star of wonder. / Wonderful night falls, we see you, we see you.
I see the stars coming down there; coming down there to the yard. / I see the stars coming down there; coming down there to my heart.
I see the stars coming down there, coming down there to the yard.
These days, days, days run away, like horses over the hills.
