The Northern Belle - “Chicago”
“I grew up with Sufjan Stevens’ music. His songs have been there for me through my ups and downs, and after spending a lot of time by myself lately I felt more and more drawn to all things familiar, and music I used to listen to before. I’m really nostalgic and the pandemic has made it even worse. I miss hanging out with my friends and feeling alive. I miss the old days and I miss playing music with my friends. This cover made it all happen. I finally got to sing with someone I really adore and look up to. We laughed, cried and just got to be in this beautiful moment while recording this song and I’m forever grateful for that.”
