Sufjan Stevens (pronuncia-se “SOOF-yahn”) é um músico multi-instrumentista e compositor americano, nascido em Detroit, Michigan, em 1º de julho de 1975. Dono de grande lirismo e riqueza instrumental, suas músicas estão freqüentemente relacionadas à fé, e a família. Seus álbuns são mesclados com vários estilos, desde eletrônica, em “Enjoy Your Rabbit”; o lo-fi folk em “Seven Swans”; até o instrumentalismo sinfônico em “Illinois” e as músicas natalinas de “Songs For Christmas”.

F#mC#m Tomorrow you’ll see it through ABmBm7 The clouded out disguises put you in the room ED And though I wandered out alone AEF#mA A thousand lights abounded on our home
DA And I remember every sound it made EF#mA The clouded out disguises and the grave DA So yeah I know I’m still afraid EF#mAD Of letting go of choices I have made
E All Delighted people raise their hands F#mC#m And I took you by the sleeve ABmD No other reason than to be your leading man F#mC#mCm And you woke up with a fright ABmD Our lives depended on the visions through the night F#mC#mCm Oh we had always, Oh we had always wanted to before ABmF# The hurricane inclined us, grappling on the floor
E All Delighted people raise their hands
F#mC#mCm Still the force of nature spurns ABmF# Ideas of strength and style abated by the burning basement
E All Delighted people raise their hands
DA And I’m not easily confused EF#mA The trouble with the storm inside us brews DA But I have so much to give
EF#mA In spite of all the terror and abuse
