It is already a very emotional album about grief and love, but the bad news of Sufjan‘s personal life makes it hit even harder (his partner died in April, plus he contracted Guillain-Barré syndrome a few months ago and is currently re-learning how to stand and walk). Wishing him all the best after this terrible year.
