Biografía:
Sufjan Stevens (Detroit, 1975) es, sin lugar a dudas, el artista más reconocido de la corriente neo-folk de los Estados Unidos.
Sus canciones recogen un universo fantástico y mítico, donde dragones, brujas, el cielo y el infierno dan forma a sus letras.
Stevens comenzó su carrera musical en una banda folk llamada Marzuki, originaria de Holland, Michigan. A su vez, formaba (y forma parte) de Danielson Famile, tocando varios instrumentos. Mientras aun estudiaba en la universidad

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Note: The D7/F#'s in the choruses and the Cmaj7's in verse 2 are optional; I included them because
they 1) sound pretty and 2) make the song considerably more interesting when one only uses a single
guitar for this pretty electronic song. They may, for ease of playing, be substituted by D/F# and
Em respectively.
As the song is quite gentle (save for the bombastic instrumental bridge), I recommend picking the
verses and choruses while strumming the bridge. I use the following pattern:
Bass note > D string > G string > B string > G string > D string and repeat
For optimal sound, if you want to strum the entire song, I recommend omitting the high E string
during the verses and choruses.
