Soundtrack to the week has been A Sun Came, Sufjan Stevens' first album, now reissued, and its majestic opening song with its delight of banjos and surreally spiritual lyrics:
We are a servant, we have a song
The side of a beehive, a tabernacle choir
We are the sound working in wars
the bishop is gone to the acolyte shores
We save our Bibles, we pull our sleeves
The word is a guard and the guard is a cleave
We are what you say.
It's on limited re-release and if you've found yourself blessed by Michigan and Seven Swans, you'll be blessed by this too...
