I took an American history exam last week and got stuck on the question, "what senator was Lincoln's opponent in the Kansas-Nebraska debates prior to the 1860 election. Well, randomly i began singing "Stephen A. Douglas was the great debater, Abraham Lincoln was the great emancipator!" under my breath, and there it was! Thank you Sufjan, you are a study failsafe.
This song and video, reminds me so much of being a kid, just so care free, I miss those times so much. Its amazing how songs can make you feel. I love this song.
sufjan stevens is one of musics most mind blowing artists out there. everything he sings or plays is real and good. even if you don't like it you have to respect it. koodos to sufjan!
this is really such an incredible work of art, you can tell how much effort you put into it. especially when you drew the most amazing picture just for abraham lincoln being a "great emancipator" and only showing the image for a second. seriously impressed :)
Yeah I've lived in Decatur my whole life and it was so fun to listen to this song and pick out the little things that only people from the area would catch at first.
This was the most adorable video ever. I love how you got the Chickenmobile right and everything. lol That must've taken so long to do! But it's definitely a wonderful video!
my ten year old wants to try doing some animation i've wanted to think of something that is not so time consuming he'll get put off for life. this is excellent its so simple but brilliant i love this song to great choice. keep it up
Awesome video, Ainsley! :D Too cute, and looks like it must've taken you a long time to make it! :D What a lot of hard work, thought process, and creativity! :D I applaud you! :D
