Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois

Sufjan Steven's Illinois is remembered as one of 2005's greatest albums. It's a vast work with a scope that ranges from incredibly wide to extremely narrow. An indie classic for sure. But one of it's greatest attributes is also one of it's biggest obstacles; it is very long. With 22 tracks clocking in at a total of 74 minutes this album can be hard to get through in just one sitting. Illinois is one of those albums you can come back to periodically in life and still find something new because you haven't been able to play every track over and over again. Here are two of my favorite lesser played songs on the disc.
