MP3: Sufjan Stevens - Majesty Snowbird (live)
Songs like this are the reason mediocre writers like me get to trot out words like “grandiose,” “sweeping,” or “majestic” (fitting, no?) to explain that feeling that tingle that moves along the back of your neck when you listen to it. This isn’t your standard four-minute Sufjan guitar/banjo narrative, sung in half-whispered vocals. This epic work builds from the gentle piano melody into a emotionally stirring arrangement of strings and horns, over which Sufjan sings his majestic tale.
Check out a nice live video of “Majesty Snowbird” on Youtube

Though i think you're a little hazy on the definition of epic. Here's a quick re-education http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098439/
I know it made me tingle.

Ooo great song.

I'm so jealous my sister saw him a couple of weeks ago (she lives in Denmark).

I was surprised to hear one of his songs from Illinois when I was watching Little Miss Sunshine.
