My new love:

Sufjan Stevens.

His music is so incredible.  It's addicting.  I don't even know how to describe the musical styles: I guess a rock/bluegrass type thing with lots of other cultural influences.  And his lyrics are really good, too - as far as "Christian" music goes, Sufjan is one of the few artists I can listen to wothout cringing, because his lyrics aren't cheesy, cliched, or shallow, which seem unfortunatly to be the standard fare in 88.7-type Christian music.  Sufjan's lyrics are often about God, but they also reflect - in a gorgeous, poetic way - the good things in life and also the more difficult realities of life.

"On the floor at the great divide
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
I am crying in the bathroom

In the morning when you finally go
And the nurse runs in with her head hung low
And the cardinal hits the window

In the morning in the winter shade
On the first of March, on the holiday
I thought I saw you breathing

All the glory that the Lord has made
And the complications when I see His face
In the morning in the window

All the glory when He took our place
But He took my shoulders and He shook my face
And He takes
and He takes
and He takes..."
