    I love how this album sounds so much like the older pieces. Such nostalgia. What I would give to have this man spend just a couple private hours with me. I want to pick his brain about so many things. And just stare at Stars

    Sufjan, you have been a constant in my life. I've listened to you since I was about 16 years old. I'm 30 now. Your music has carried me through many important stages of my life. You've been my favorite artist ever since I heard "That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!". When I had nowhere else to turn, listening to your music helped me heal emotionally. I am forever grateful for your enormous and therapeutic impact on my life.
    I feel deeply nostalgic and happy hearing Running Start, So You Are Tired, and Will Anybody Ever Love Me. It reminds me so much of the sounds in Seven Swans and Michigan. Thank you for this beautiful piece. I am so looking forward to hearing the rest of Javelin. I am wishing you a safe recovery from GBS. You are loved. ❤

    It's been a while since Sufjan has stripped down to this sound and this is by far my favorite Sufjan song-style. More acoustic than the recent Sufjan stuff, beautiful melodies and harmonies. His lyrics are always top notch. Sufjan is a gift that keeps on giving.

    You’ve been played for more than a decade but I’ve felt nearest to you and your lyrics after my father passed last year. “So you are tired”’s lyrics fit for me for my dogs sad sad passing last month…after 14 years. Your music has truly touched a part of my heart and I shed tears each time I listen to your music. It’s deep, meaningful and full of love. And I hope you feel that same feeling from those closest to you and as well as your fans.
    Get well soon, sufjan.
