sufjan stevens - vito's ordination song
i don't know what else to say about this song, except that it's a deeply meaningful one for me. i remember a time in my life where i'd lay in bed, listening to it on repeat until i drifted off into an uneasy sleep.
it wasn't so much its reassurances that i liked, but rather the way it tacitly acknowledges and even embraces suffering. i don't know that i agree with all of it, but i like that at its core it accepts that a lot of times the only thing there is to do in this moment is to rest, and then to try again.
here's part of a live performance sufjan gave at a hurricane katrina relief concert. i wish the video had the entire song because it's such a beautiful, emotional performance.
