William Fitzsimmons - "Chicago" [Official Music Video]

William’s version of “Chicago” is out now: https://williamfitzsimmons.ffm.to/chi... From William - “Sufjan Stevens, to me, is the greatest living songwriter. Always refusing to be pinned down to genre or style, he's composed a massive catalog of wildly varied and fascinating music. Chicago wasn't the first song of his I heard, but it stood out immediately as a lifetime achievement. Its bombastic arrangement belies the simple message of owning the mistakes of the past and the often unsaid sadness of resignation to constant change. I stripped down the arrangement to its core. Shakers replace drums, guitar and piano reduce orchestral strings. But the message remains. Time takes things away.” Written by Sufjan Stevens - ASCAP / BMG Rights Management Visit William Online: http://www.williamfitzsimmons.com   / williamfitzsimmons     / wfitzsimmons     / williamfitzsimmons     / williamfitzsimmons   Lyrics I fell in love again All things go, all things go Drove to Chicago All things know, all things know We sold our clothes to the state I don't mind, I don't mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind, in my mind I drove to New York In a van, with my friend We slept in parking lots I don't mind, I don't mind I was in love with the place In my mind, in my mind I made a lot of mistakes In my mind, in my mind You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mind set All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go If I was crying In the van, with my friends It was for freedom From myself and from the land I’ve made a lot of mistakes I’ve made a lot of mistakes I’ve made a lot of mistakes I’ve made a lot of mistakes You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow We had our mind set All things know, all things know You had to find it All things go, all things go You came to take us All things go, all things go To recreate us All things grow, all things grow
