Chris Thile, Madison Cunningham, and Merrill Garbus playing a Sufjan Stevens song. What a time to be alive.

Best Sufjan cover I've ever heard.

Utterly beautiful... my favorite part of another great broadcast. Makes me want to hear Sufjan Stevens on the show someday...

Between this and Nickel Creek's instrumental "Stumptown", one gets the feeling Mr. Chris Thile really, really, REALLY is a big fan of -- and enjoys the time he spends in -- Portland, Oregon...the one and only Rose City Of The World. (And the same might be said of Mr. Sufjan Stevens as well.) As a native of Portlandia, I say to Chris, Sufjan, and all associated with Live From Here...a rose (if not more) for each of you in Portland grows. Turn up, love you guys, awesome!

Lyrics:

A break in the clouds is a break in my day
Face the sun of my salvation
As Hathaway Jones would have made it his own fate
Fly by the wings of your creation

On the top of your head, there is a poem
The thought in my head, oh God only knows
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm afraid, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

It's a little-known fact that I can't cope
I’m the champion of repression
I've had it enough with the east coast
I'll die by the wings of my ambition

The city I left, the city of throes
The one that I loved, the city of hope
As everything else will disappoint you
I used to be young and bold, but now I'm of age, I'm getting so old
I follow delight to the City of Roses

A break in the clouds is a break in my day

What a lovely, lovely song. Going to share this. Any chance of finding the lyrics somewhere?

"Perfect" might be only a slight over exaggeration!
