The World Of B-Sides & Rarities, #21
Sufjan Stevens - Opie's Funeral Song'Opie's Funeral Song' can be found on Asthmatic Kitty's Mews Too compilation, released in February of last year. The song had been floating around for quite some time (in live settings, that is), but it wasn't until '06 that Sufjan completed the tune and made it officially available for us to hear.
The track sounds like it would have fit wonderfully on Seven Swans as it has more of an intimate folk vibe than anything on Michigan or Illinois. Gentle and piercing. Take a listen below and tell us what you think of the rarity.

Love it! Course anything Suf does is brilliant.
Thanks, as I only ever had a live version of this. The version of Adlai Stevenson from The Sound The Hare Heard could be worthy of a future Rarities post. I much prefer it.
