If I were a song, I'd be Chicago By Sufjan Stevens off his Illinois album (by far his best). It isn't even necessarily my favorite song off the album, though it is amazing, but I was just listening to it today and thought "if I were a song, this would be me." The lyrics are sort of part of it (so I listed them below) but the music itself is, I think, the main reason. It's uplifting but reflective and steady but grows. Every time I hear it I am reminded of so many things and, what's more, excited for what's to come because I can just feel something happening. That's the best way I can describe it. Anyway, I highly suggest giving it a listen (even if you've heard it before) or at least reading the lyrics (though the instrumentals deserve your ears).
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)
Peace
