May 20, 2008 - What part of that (if any) was Sufjan because that certainly wasn't him singing?

ElDudeBrother Says:

May 20, 2008 - I think it's all him - check out his song 'We're going to the country' on songs for christmas. when i 1st heard that i thought it wasn't him, but now i believe it was. it was the same deep voice, i think he just uses it rarely.

May 21, 2008 - This is not the Suf..

ElDudeBrother Says:

May 21, 2008 - I stick by my original conviction: I've just listened to it back to back with "We're going to the country" and it's the same voice as on that. I just happen to think he can vary his voice from time to time.

ElDudeBrother Says:

May 21, 2008 - For all the doubters, just google 'Sufjan Stevens Ride the Woodbeast' to find proof that it is him. The mp3 lists speak for themselves.

May 21, 2008 - This is without a doubt Sufjan Stevens singing. I've listened to enough of his music to recognize this is his voice. He just has a great range.

May 21, 2008 - this one sounds nice!which album does it belong to??

michellemybell7 Says:

May 22, 2008 - I'm guessing this song is actually sung by a man named Matt Morgan, he sang "going to the country" on sufjans christmas album, so this is probably another sufjan/matt colaboration. It's great either way though.

May 22, 2008 - In the booklet for the Christmas collection it says lead vocals on "We're Goin' To The Country!" is sung by Matt Morgan, Sufjan only does banjo and backup vocals. This song is still awesome though, thanks for posting all these outtakes.

ElDudeBrother Says:

May 22, 2008 - well well well, i never knew about this matt morgan guy - i might have to change my stance on this all... a collaboration sounds about right, 'cos no-one else could have done the music to this than sufjan!

TheBoss2332 Says:

May 22, 2008 - Yeah, it could definately be Matt and maybe it's Sufjan playing Banjo (although even that doesn't really sound like his style).You and someone else said that it's Sufjan just singing in a lower range but in this song the singing goes into the range where Sufjan's voice would DEFINITELY be identifiable.

May 25, 2008 - It sounds like this song is about a roller coaster...Must achieve the size to rideMust believe the structure soundHeard the screams in Deerfield countyHands raised to show they're fearlessScrews and lumber...(something landlords it sounds like)Sharpen turns uproot the floorboardsKings Island was in Deerfield township for awhile and it has a wooden roller coaster called The Beast.

matnsas Says:

Jun 1, 2008 - Yeah, that is definately NOT sufjan. Come on. It doesn't even remotely sound like him.

mywinterlungs Says:

Jun 1, 2008 - according to my ears and the liner notes, matt morgan sings lead on "we're going to the country." not suf. this is most definitely fo-sho not the sufjan singing, my friend.

mywinterlungs Says:

Jun 1, 2008 - whoops, matt morgan's already been mentioned. right. anyway. yeah. not sufjan.

ElDudeBrother Says:

Jun 2, 2008 - OK then let us settle it once and for all - a google search has confirmed that it IS a sufjan stevens song, but it seems that he himself isn't providing lead vocals (Matt 'Country' Morgan is). Let the madness end here.

cheshirecat323 Says:

Jun 21, 2008 - I definitely hear Sufjan singing, but only on back-up vocals. From 1:32 -1:47 - 1:51, it sounds as if his range is going from high to low.
