Thank you for posting this beautiful song. I caught it during the segment on the recent re-discovery of the ivory-billed woodpecker near Brinkley, Arkansas. The juxtaposition between the song and the comments from the townsfolk actually brought a tear or two to the eye. My brother introduced me to the geographically-oriented music of Sufjan Stevens and I've been truly impressed.
