I listened to this song in the hospital when my daughter was born. Love it forever now.

I’m so happy Hulu’s The Bear used this to open up Episode 7 with a montage of Chicago. Beautiful 👌🏻

I literally never skip the intro to politician because of this song

[fahadhashmi]

I screamed when I heard this as the title song on The Politician! God this has always been in my top 3 fav songs of all time!

[valerieschumacher]

little miss sunshine and this song gave me something to open my heart again after my husband died. it just soars. ❤

[frankiemaridamacy]

i listened to this song driving through the snow in November. i had the windows open because they made my eyes feel alive and i was so complete. i hold onto that sensation with all my might and i can't let go.

This makes me feel like I'm the star of my own indie movie. I hope I'm on a roadtrip some day with this song playing, and I'll finally feel free and ok.

[olympusmons]

you know how you always see indie movies and they are always full of emotion and good music and situations and they just make you feel happy, sad, love, and so on in one movie. it's music like this that makes me realized we are all living the best indie movie of all time all together moving about the earth meeting eachother. laughing with eachother. loving eachother. it's pretty nice when a single song can make you feel that way.

[tonyvelez]

This song makes me think of my journey through life. Every stage. Every mistake, every lesson learned. My parents, both gone now, the glory of being alive and me setting the course I want to sail my life to now.

"Man, this Suf-joon guy sure does cry a lot."
-My nine year old little brother

[ToDahRANDOMOBILE]

I can't explain the feeling this song gives to me... It makes me want to dance around the kitchen with my mother

[elibell]

This song is literally my life. Drove to new cities. Fell in love. Lost my clothes. Didn't care. Drove to new cities with my love. Slept in our car. Didn't care. Drove to New York. Was in love with every place we went. Made mistakes. Real and in my mind, but mostly in my mind. All things go. All things grow. And I was crying in our car, for freedom from myself and from the land. And we just had to let go.

This song is the cherry on top of a 15 year process. Today, I am traveling to Chicago after 15 years. Thank you life. Thank you always.

Tonight I was sitting in the lounge doing my accounts, my 12 year old son walked through singing this song. My jaw dropped. He is on a totally different planet to me. I need to pay more attention to him. Tonight I realised he's more emotionally sophisticated than I've given him credit.
I spent some extra time with him, I'll do the accounts tomorrow.

My dad once called a window cleaning company or something and this was their music on hold. That's basically how I discovered Sufjan Stevens. He even called the company again to let me hear it lol.

[bishalroy]

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)

[ZozoRevolta]

This song and this guy is one of the most underrated appreciated musicians of our generation.

[TheWhiteJamesBrown]

This song makes me feel ok and regret all at once

[davidmusic]

I swear nothing can prepare you for the heartache in reading the comments of Sufjan's music, I suppose it's the perfect reflection of his music, and how cathartic it is for so many

[Mambaman]

The Politician is probably the best new series I've seen on the N yet. Everything about it is purdy friggin awesome, acting, characters, story, and soundtrack.

I think critics don't know what they have on their hands yet, but I feel this show is gonna be talked about as a masterpiece in due time.

Great and unskippable intro too.
