The Staves - Chicago (Sufjan Stevens) | The Influences 

Sibling harmony is a resonance that was gifted to human ears

The harmonies are beautiful and made me think of the effect of Crosby, Stills and Nash from many years ago. Spine tingling!

Man what did I stumble into? This must be what music sounds like in heaven.

This is so pretty. :-) Their voices are like a pianos, song birds, violins, and harps, all mixed together.

The little "who-hoo"s they do in unison are the cutest thing. Sufjan is my fave artist of all time, and I rarely like covers of his songs...but this is dope :)

I fell in love again 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 You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go I drove to New York In a van, with my friend We slept in parking lots I don't mind, I don't mind I was in love with the place In my mind, in my mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind, in my mind You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go If I was crying In the van, with my friend It was for freedom From myself and from the land I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mindset (I made a lot of mistakes) All things know, all things know (I made a lot of mistakes) You had to find it (I made a lot of mistakes) All things go, all things go (I made a lot of mistakes)

I think this may be my new favourite song ever. The Staves in my opinion, are literally the meaning of beautiful.

beautiful! They should record this and put it on spotify

What a beautiful version of Chicago. My brother and I tried to hum like this; didn't go as planned! Keep it up ladies.

Didn't think anyone would ever be able to do this song justice. This has proved me wrong. Awesome

By far... I prefer this version, very well done! I love their voices, there is something magic in they...

That harmony! 😍

I love Emily's voice!

Came here because of the film Austin to Boston, terrific version :)

That was very nearly perfection.

Thank you. I have nothing else to say really. This is such a beautiful rendition of such a beautiful song. Love from Bangladesh. You guys are beyond amazing. My only complaint is not having found this sooner.

HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS??? People, please go watch Austin to Boston....

the best cover of one of my favourite songs!

Gorgeous tones. I could see a couple of you living that song as you sang. It apparently means a lot.

que versão linda!!!!! Perfeição!

best cover of this i have found yet, pretty much made it their own, bravo

I love them all so much! come to California please

So lovely! The Staves are so amazing

so beautiful.

The guitarist is immensely beautiful...my god

I Love This Song So Much

So hard to do a Sufjan Stevens song justice,you've done it wonderfully :)

My dream kisses taste like this song sounds … I’m a caterpillar dying in the cocoon of this beautiful trio - my wings expand on the tonelicious harmonies of their music … oh monarch butterfly - I search for love like the notes of this song search for the ears of the hearts of humanity, urgently, gently, mortally brief.

If heaven exists, the Staves are my soundtrack.

WOW!!! Beautiful voices & rendition! Loved it!

Absolutely beautiful.

It doesn't get much better!

I'm in love

i wont lie but this song makes me heartbroken every time i hear it. I either can extremely relate to this song or MAYBE i am heartbroken i just pretend to be ok, and forget about showing it.

this gets 1.4 million views and 99% of you have no idea who the brilliant under-rated Sufjan Stevens is - life is simply not fair

Harmonies beautiful . Mark Davis

you gave this song a very special and personal meaning to me. Thank you!

Great Song!!!

Seeing the Staves doing this great version inspired me to learn to play the song.... my voice isn't as good as theirs...

INCREDIBLE

i'm crying

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Thank you, ladies.

EU AMO

So beautiful!

Still, one of my faves from the Staves.

Sorprendente, increíble. Enhorabuena.

Not many groups can make basically every song they cover better than the original..this is one of those groups.

03:13 I was introduced to this song and this beautiful 3-piece harmony by a chance reddit post many years ago by some crazy cat who referenced it as their thoughts during a recent exam. It cracked me up so much I was convulsing. But now I know and share the joy of The Staves 😊😊😊 Thank you random Redditor 😘🤣😄

Beautiful in every way ❤️❤️❤️

wonderful

amazing - just beautiful!

So amazing. Gave me chills.

so beautiful!

divine

Puts your soul to ease

I'd Imagine this is what the Angels sound like in Heaven, fab cover Staves👌

I fell in love again 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 You came to take us All things go All things go To recreate us All things grow All things grow We had our mindset All things know All things know You had to find it All things go All things go I drove to New York In a van With my friends We slept in parking lots I don't mind I don't mind I was in love with the place In my mind In my mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind In my mind You came to take us All things go All things go To recreate us All things grow All things grow We had our mindset All things know All things know You had to find it All things go All things go If I was crying In the van With my friends It was for freedom From myself And from the land I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes I made a lot of mistakes You came to take us All things go All things go To recreate us All things grow All things grow We had our mindset All things know All things know You had to find it All things go All things go

Lindo demais!

Sufjan ❤️❤️❤️

Suena mejor que el original., me encanta.

beautiful

Nice blending guys!

Yesssss!

angels

love that she's wearing a classic old school Journey concert t-shirt

LOve!!

Perfect cover, very hard to do

Erg mooi dames!

Actual Angels

Does anyone know the picking pattern that she's using? This is absolutely flawless.

Better than an original. Kind of ridiculous how good this acoustic performance in a small room is better than other versions I have heard.

If you don't think this is beautiful, you are dead to me.

The harmony is so emotional I can hardly stand it. Better than the original, in my opinion.

i love this tune - i made a lot of mistakes - and what a great cover....thanks

The staves +avett brothers = coming soon? P.S.- I speak of the less mainstream avett. A.k.a. the days of 'laundry room'

well, "I fell in love again" after watching this video

'.............it was for freedom....................'

Who else is here because this was on the Twitter trend for covers better than the original?

wow im gay

Alto tema sobre el vino

Great voices, lovely song. Have you listened to :- Mark Davis The Young Cardiffian 👌

What's that miniature bass called? Looks like a novelty ukelele sized bass...

3 most beautiful girls

Does anybody got the tabs?

I swear, I'm hearing 'I ate a lot of the steaks' third one in.

does anyone know what condenser mic this is?

One of the best covers I've heard... maybe ever? Stunning.

Still coming back to this all these years later

Ladies, today I was listening to this in the car and the harmonies were so beautiful that I got goosebumps, tears in my eyes and I couldn’t stop smiling. It was like being in a magical place full of snow and fresh clean forest air. Please don’t ever stop singing. You are the Sirens of RU-vid.

I clicked on this absolutely certain that I'd hate it. Needless to say, i was very wrong. Those harmonies...I have chills. CHILLS.

3:14-3:43 my thoughts after I turn in an exam I didn't study for

I've been listening to this version for years now. It still kills me. So so beautiful.

I have listened to this song so many times, I've decided I want this song played at my funeral. it has such deep meaning.

Every single time I listen to this, I get chills. And I’ve listened hundreds of times

I feel like the original of this song is almost incomparable to this version because of how different they are from one another. Although both are good, I definitely prefer The Staves version!

Hi everyone. Just came here to cry because this is so beautiful

This is so completely and utterly breathtakingly perfect.

Wow you really made this song your own. Very beautiful arrangement and performance. Thanks.

I can't stop coming back to listen to this, it's such an important flawless piece
