  • Official album stream of Chicago by Sufjan Stevens from the album Illinois. Available on Asthmatic Kitty Records: bit.ly/2lNxZkk
    Official soundtrack intro credits theme song from the 2019 Netflix show The Politician with Ryan Murphy: www.netflix.com/title/80241248
    Like the self-proclaimed "Spiderman" who climbed Chicago's Sears Tower with no harness, Sufjan Stevens scales dusty prairies, steel factories, and two hundred years of history in the second installment of his 50 State Project, "ILLINOIS", a 22-track anthematic tone poem to The Prairie State.

      I like this song for the same reason I love Radical Face songs. Simple lyrics against the backdrop of harmonious instrumentals . I especially like the horn & strings effect. Scratch that, it’s hard to select, love it all.

    I fell in love again
    All things go, all things go
    Drove to Chicago
    All things know, all things know
    We sold our clothes to the state
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    In my mind, in my mind
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset
    All things know, all things know
    You had to find it
    All things go, all things go
    I drove to New York
    In a van, with my friend
    We slept in parking lots
    I don't mind, I don't mind
    I was in love with the place
    In my mind, in my mind
    I made a lot of mistakes
    In my mind, in my mind
    You came to take us
    All things go, all things go
    To recreate us
    All things grow, all things grow
    We had our mindset
    All things know, all things know
    You had to find it
    All things go, all things go
    If I was crying
    In the van, with my friend
    It was for freedom
    From myself and from the land
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes
    I made a lot of mistakes

    I don’t even know what “The Politician” is but I sure remember this song back in 2005 Almost TWENTY years ago… and how insanely vivid my old life becomes. I was 15-16 and truly having the best years of my life in High School finding who I was… and who I wasn’t. I was with my friends every weekend being young adults and just being alive. I know this sounds weird but I’m a little stoned and heard this song on a reel on IG and it did something to me; it transported me back to that time in my life. We were so lucky to grow up in the 90s and 2000s. Truly… and I don’t even know why this song invoked so much emotion but it did and I’m not mad about it. I am somewhat mad, however, at the fact that I won’t be able to go back to that time in my History to relieve myself of even SOME of Life’s obligations and hardships nowadays. 😭🙌🏼

    My cousin Matt introduced me to your music back in 2008, this album specifically. I fell in love with Illinois (of course I'm biased in favor of the album, Illinois is where I was born and I have a lot of family there). After his death in 2011, I treasured your music like a keepsake. And then when my grandma died in 2016, Carrie & Lowell became a bitter sweet refuge for me around her death. I haven't watched The Politician, but I might start because if the show runners have good enough taste to use this song as the opening, I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the show itself is good too. Thank you, Sufjan, your music is a blessing and your vulnerability cared for my own in the trials of my life.
