about this song
The first track off of Sufjan’s 2015 album "Carrie & Lowell". The song’s title is an oblique reference to Oregon’s "Death with Dignity Act of 1994", a watershed physician-assisted death law. Throughout this song (and the entire album) there are references to places and events in Oregon, the state where Sufjan Stevens estranged mother lived during Sufjan’s childhood. The instrumentation and production is sparse, featuring two harp-like guitars with an occasional addition of piano.
