The Lakes of Canada

The first time I listed to Sufjan Stevens's cover of The Innocence Mission's "The Lakes of Canada," it didn't exactly grab me, but this song has been creeping up on me ever since.



I can't put my finger on why I find it so appealing--when I can parse the lyrics, they're not usually blowing my socks off. Maybe I've embarked on a love affair with the banjo.

(I am also fond of the Charles Boyer-esque French accent on the guy talking to Sufjan Stevens at the beginning of this particular video.)
