And in my best behavior, I am really just like him, Look beneath the floor boards, For the secrets I have hid .

Currently listening to Sufjan Stevens' John Wayne Gacy, Jr. 




I knew this guy, and this album since several years back. I guess that's the Pandora radio days. Chicago has always been one of my all time favorites. I think it was before Little Miss Sunshine. Because I remembered getting excited listening to the song in that movie.

It was as if I am the only person who knew the song earlier than every one else. Blergh.

But only now I actually start listening to the whole album. Slowly I got really caught up with almost every song in this album.

Sufjan Stevens? He is one awesome story teller. His songs make you want more from him. Make you want to be the characters in the songs. You can relate to them.

Even that song up there. That, is one haunting song. I was drawn by the melody of it. Then after awhile I got curious, so I started to google the title. And to my surprise, it was one quite disturbing story.

Check out the lyrics for the hints, or just wiki it to get the full story.

I love it how he tries to relate himself to the whole disturbing story. Hence why he came out with the verse I used as a title. Tersentap sekejap.

But from that moment onwards, I declare, this album? Is on my all-time fave albums list. Hands down.
