Sufjan Stevens songs on NPR

Here are some links to Sufjan Stevens songs. When you hit the link, the songs will be right there.

The Lord God Bird is a song that is not on any albums.

John Wayne Gacy Jr. is about a serial murderer in Illinois. This is from Stevens's album Illinois.

Casimir Pulaski Day is about a girl dying of bone cancer. It is a beautiful song, also from Illinois.

Adlai Stevenson is from a CD of outtakes that will be released in July.

I'm just listening to this one for the first time. It has a long title so I won't write it. It turns into "All creatures of Our God and King" at the end.

Chicago is from the Illinois album. Great song!

Dress looks nice on you and Sisters are from Seven Swans, an album which I haven't heard.

Detroit lift up your weary head is from the album Michigan.

Romulus is about Romulus, Michigan and Sufjan's grandmother. It's also a great song. It's sad like Casimir Pulaski Day.
