Sufjan Stevens - The Only Thing

i put together this video from my grandma's old film reels from 1966-7 from farmingdale, new jersey, where they live now. the lyrics express a deep longing for the past, but there's a strange love and celebration within that as well. i feel that when i watch this footage.

thank you to asthmatic kitty for (hopefully!) not taking this down, and thank you to sufjan for sharing this music.

dedicated to my grandparents.
