    General Comment:I don't know, I think Sufjan shouldve wrote some words to this, cause it doesnt quite succeed as an instrumental, unless the music is supposed to evoke the calm after the tornado.

    General Comment:I live right by Crystal Lake, and there is a certain pride to have a local city, YOUR city, mentioned on an album. Kudos to Sufjan for writing about cities in Illinois that aren't as well known as Chicago!

    General Comment:I think this is a beautiful song that really examines what it's like to experience sudden chaos in a calm and peaceful world. it is, of course, about the string of 47 tornados that hit the Midwest on Palm Sunday, 4/11/65. One tornado hit Crystal Lake, Illinois. Many people were attending church and were not expecting a tornado on that day.
