a 'new' song from Sufjan Stevens


it's actually an old tune, but it's just recently surfaced the interwebs:

Sufjan Stevens - Sofia's Song [mp3]

I am in awe of how he makes a banjo sound so pretty.
I like this a lot better than Ray Lamontagne's ode to Meg White, which I liked a heck of a lot.

Sufjan explains:
"But the world of youth was where I tried on new ideas, new outfits, new names, and new rhyme schemes—-a world where the banjo was my journal, where Sofia Coppola was my imaginary confidant, and where singing out of tune was perfectly OK!"

just for the record, Sufjan Stevens is the highlight of Dark Was The Night
