this song is beautifully idealistic yet heartbreaking at the same time. the actual instrumentation feels extremely uplifting, but the lyrics are so bittersweet. on one end, they tell a story of chasing dreams and growing from past mistakes when things don’t work out. on the other, however, it can also be taken as a tale of regret.
depending on how i’m feeling, i’ll focus on just the brightness of the song, but if i’m wistful, i’ll really listen to the lyrics.
both an uplifting anthem and melancholic tearjerker, Chicago packs a one-two punch as a song.

less of a special place and more of a special moment - i always play this song for the last ~12 minutes of descent on every flight i take. it came on during the descent on my flight home from my study abroad program - my first time out of the country, and right after i had broken up with my toxic partner over the phone in the airport before my flight. my life felt inalterably changed as that flight landed and this song made it feel so much more real. one of sufjan’s best and most underrated for sure.

there is something so cool about this unspoken juxtaposition rule in the more psychologically volatile genres, where the lyrics are bleak and anxious, always tapping into darker territory, but the melody remains beautiful and oddly comforting. i have been re-looping lots of carissa’s wierd - songs about leaving lately, and now this thought refuses to leave me alone. idk!!!! it’s just such a common case where something viscerally crushing happens to produce the most tender and fragile sounds, and i know it is a bit of a cornplate-level observation, but i have been pondering a lot about this
