Sufjan Stevens. Maybe you've heard of this fellow. Maybe you have not. Regardless, this man is a god.

Abby, you say, or not, I don't know you, isn't that a rather hyperbolic statement? Surely this Sufjan character isn't a celestial being. Well, stuff you, because he is. He is...magic. Listen to this song from his album Illinoise called "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades is Out to Get Us" and tell me he is not magic. 

This particular brand of magic is not unfamiliar, of course - it's just music. But since music like this is so rare on the whole, the things it can do seem so astounding. It can make us feel amazing or awful; it can facilitate time travel; it can transplant your soul into another's body; it can truly change your life. Even if you don't want it to.
