While I'm a fan of Sufjan, I hadn't yet heard his version before I heard this cover. I was reluctant to go back and listen to his original version because I love his music and I didn't know how he could possibly sound this beautiful, and I felt like I would hate to be disappointed in him. But I wasn't-not at all. It's just a very different performance when he does it, yet it's still the same song, the lyrics move me the same way, and I still sway to the rise and fall of the melody. He just does with polyphony what they do with harmony. No, I wasn't disappointed at all; rather, I found myself with a gift, because in the end, I now I have twice as much of the song to listen to.
