If Sufjan has a best song then what is it?

Other than Pearl Jam, who else is there?

Underrated album

Yeah guys Carrie and Lowell is great. Watched the concert video with wife last night and she was converted. I just hope now she doesn't leave me for him. Whatever makes her happy.

Sufjan Stevens has dedicated his new album, Javelin, to his late partner, Evans Richardson IV, who died in April at the age of 43. “He was an absolute gem of a person, full of life, love, laughter, curiosity, integrity, and joy,” Stevens wrote of Richrdson on Tumblr. “He was one of those rare and beautiful ones you find only once in a lifetime—precious, impeccable, and absolutely exceptional in every way.” Find Stevens’ full note below

so you are tired hits hard these days
So you are dreaming of after
Was it really all just for fun?
I was the man still in love with you
When I already knew it was done

So you are tired of me
So rest your head
Turning back all that we had in our life
While I return to death
Sometimes I wanna drive around and find you
And act like it's a random thing

I recently listened to the few Sufjan albums still in my collection and I think the answer to this thread is "Should Have Known Better." Most of Sufjan's stuff hasn't aged very well for me but that song...man.

He has a tonne of great songs but I find myself returning to the vocal section of Sister. He might not have topped that.
