Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You
About Me
- Ellen Loudon
- I have lived in Liverpool since I was 18years old. I came here to study drama, pop music and be an actor. I spent a couple of years in a theatre company in Leeds during the mid 1990's returning to start an academic career at Edge Hill University in 1998. In 2001 I started to explore the possibility of full time ministry in the church of England. After a long period of discernment I started at Trinity College, Bristol in 2006 and trained be a vicar. I was ordained as a Deacon in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral in June 2008 and ordained priest in June 2009. I am serving as the assistant curate at St John Chrysostom and St Peter's churches, Everton.

I was expecting to like the Patti Smith one, but it felt empty; the sense of searing, intense desperation that should be at the heart of that song was just missing.
Sufjan Stevens wasn't bad though, and thankfully nothing like Shakin' Stevens. He does look and sound quite a lot like Don Maclean though.
just watched later again and patti Smith was fantastic. I know what you mean though this version was harrowing. There is a live version of this on the later website -http://www.bbc.co.uk/later/ which is worth seeing.
I love Sufjan - he is so fab. Wish he was playing greenbelt.
