Sufjan Stevens (born July 1, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter and musician from Petoskey, Michigan. Sufjan's music is lyrically focused and instrumentally rich. Lyrically it often relates to faith and family. Stevens has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States.
He is considered part of the folk revival in indie pop, but his influences are very broad. His music has been likened to electronica and the minimalism of Steve Reich. Stevens originally announced plans to make a concept album for each of the 50 U.S. states, having begun the series with Michigan (2003) and Illinois (2005), but has since retracted this statement.
Listen Now
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

Was in a dept store and started listening to the lyrics, Chicago (All Things Go). I immediately felt the relation to what I myself went through back in 2002. You may read the story at www.myspace.com/felipe_cameron.
As of August 8th 2008 and once again I find myself out of work, part of one hundred and ninety people laid off from Eclipse Aviation in Albuquerque, NM. Broke and desperate.
Sufjan please give me some advice, what can I do to get my life back on track and stop this from happening to me?
