about this song
Sufjan Stevens on 'Tahquamenon Falls' : We went with Cassie to pick pine cones at the falls. She gave us each a paper bag and cotton gloves. These were the small cones, little burnt rose bud cones, from Hemlock. We weren’t allowed to pick them off the tree. This would be stealing, Cassie said. We were to pick them off the ground, and only the ones that were symmetrical, round, soft to the touch. Look for blemishes and knots and deformities, Cassie said.
