Illinoise nee Illinois - Sufjan Stevens



Where?
Think about it.
By threat, flee work.
Understand home gently.

My addition to the universe of poetry on a Sunday Morn basking in the sun.I wrote this while listening to Sufjan Stevens' brilliant creation of 2005 - Illinois.

His self-stated goal is to produce a recording about of each of the
states. This is his second.. a long journey to undertake.
That being said.. what a brilliant melange of thoughts and themes
I particularly love Chicago.


Give this a listen.. the entire journey is the way to go with this album.
Kinda like classic Velvet Underground.. no dipping in and sampling.
