Top 11 Sufjan Stevens Songs
Here are my favorite Sufjan Stevens songs. If you disagree you're wrong. If you agree you're wrong. If you think listening to Sufjan Stevens makes you a sissy boy who wets his bed periodically you are right. |
11 | | Sufjan Stevens The Age of Adz
I Walked
I included an Age of Adz song so people don't get pissed. It was between this or Futile Devices. I chose I Walked because I think it is the best song given the electronic nature of the album. I feel the electronic beeps and boops give the song an added boost. |
10 | | Sufjan Stevens Illinois
Jacksonville
Reminds me of a less grandiose version of Come on Feel the Illinoise! Still awesome amazing horns, catchy lyrics, and great instrumentation. |
9 | | Sufjan Stevens Michigan
For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti
This song reminds me of the Seven Swans song on here with different instruments. A less haunting and effective version but still fantastic. |
8 | | Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell
Drawn to the Blood
I love singing along to this song. So beautiful and haunting. I only wish it was longer. |
7 | | Sufjan Stevens Illinois
Chicago
A fantastic song for a city that I don't like going to. Sufjan Stevens catchy song writing coupled with lush instrumentation. Great! |
6 | | Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell
Death with Dignity
The best sing along song Sufjan Stevens has ever made. So simple yet so freakin' catchy. Also I remember reading somewhere that someone thought Sufjan says the n-word when he says acre in the song. Now I can never not hear it. |
5 | | Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell
Fourth of July
This song just instantly bums me out but in a good way. Really beautiful song. We're all gonna die. |
4 | | Sufjan Stevens Seven Swans
All the Trees of the Field will Clap their Hands
The repeating banjo chords on this song are incredibly infectious and make this song. Such a haunting song and just beautiful. |
3 | | Sufjan Stevens Carrie and Lowell
John My Beloved
My favorite song from Carrie and Lowell. The song is extremely simple but it is very emotionally impactful in its simplicity. Also really easy and beautiful to sing along to. |
2 | | Sufjan Stevens Illinois
Come On! Feel The Illinoise!
The beginning of this song is so goddamn catchy and fun as hell to sing along to. Couple this with great progression and awesome instrumentation and this song is not only the anthem of my home state but amazing as well. |
1 | | Sufjan Stevens All Delighted People
All Delighted People (Original Version)
This song is so good. It has amazing progression. Feels grand and at a 12 minute run time it never once gets boring and actually gets better towards the end of the track. |
