Regarding writing this song, Mr. Stevens said: *"I made a concerted effort to scrupulously evoke the series of events which led to his crime, and, considering the circumstances, that was not a pleasant task. In all the crime novels I’d skimmed and in all the news clippings I read, there was a deliberate obsession with finding the source of his depravity. What went wrong, everyone asked. What made him this way? Was it his abusive father? Was it a head injury? A doting mother?"*Stephens continues: *"I’m less interested in cause and effect, in terms of human iniquity. I believe we all have the capacity for murder. We are ruthless creatures. I felt insurmountable empathy not with his behavior, but with his nature, and there was nothing I could do to get around confessing that, however horrifying it sounds."*I feel the song itself—musically beautiful yet haunting, lyrically subtle yet grotesque and horrifying—embodies the spectrum that Stephens believes is in all people, and was certainly present in Gacy. And that is *pure genius.*

i love this song. Knowing that its about a serial killer just makes it better. (its not good to be a serial killer but you know what i mean)

Is that girl St Vincent?

Johnny Catsup

always thought this song was unscrupulous button-pushing. can sufjan evoke emotion without resorting to serial killers and cancer-stricken girlfriends? he did once, on Greetings From Michigan, before his work was completely blanched of vitality and honesty.

"And in my best behaviour, I am really just like him"Serial Killers can be your neighbour, your friends, even your family. They are not born with horns on there head, they just look like normal people.

So haunting, So sad, its great to hear a musician tell a story about something like this without it being exploited like a metal band would do, Sufjan is incredible, everyone seems to be quite confused by the last line "And in my best behaviorI am really just like himLook beneath the floorboardsFor the secrets I have hid"To me it is simple, we all have the potential in us to do terrible things, we all have secrets hidden under the "floorboards"

FUCKING AMAZING

Marcus Robinson

he was so accurate, I wasn't looking at first and thought it was the studio version for the first half

Seriously?

I get the chills listening to this song, a clown serial killer *shudder*

One of the greatest storytellers in music Harry Chapin wrote the song Sniper, which isn't an "accurate account" of the Texas A&M shooter, but it's not far from it either. Literal, abstract, whatever, it's all about the poetry and wordsmithing that makes a song lasting and endearing.

I think that he is telling a terrible story about a true killer however I think that the last line of the song essentially is an acknowledgement that we all have something horrible in us. Sometimes we are not so unlike those whom outwardly express what some of us try hard "on our best behavior" to repress.

Lucas Anderson

You do realize he's trolling you, don't you? Successfully, I might add.

Who's the lady singing back up vocals, and the rest of the Sufjanalikes?

As a resident of rural Illinois, I feel very connected to every single song on this album. It feels like this often overlooked part of the country is being acknowledged by someone who does it complete justice. Thank you, Sufjan.

Som desse cara é simplesmente delicioso, simples, lírico e sofisticado. Não dá para ficar indiferente à sua música. Lovely!

You shallow thunder cunt. Go away, you don't have friends and stuff like that...

Anthony Hemberger

you are a fucking retard

Metallica and Sufjan are completely different, you all realize that don't you? Sufan is more literal in his writing, making things more clear for the listener. Completly different spectrums, you should be ashamed. Enjoy this damn pure music.
