Sufjan Stevens - "On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better)" (Official Music Video)

https://sufjanstevens.lnk.to/worstchr... Out today – “On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better)," the first new Christmas song written, produced, and performed by @Sufjan in nearly 15 years. The single arrives ahead of Friday’s LP release of the album 'Worst Christmas Ever!' “I love the idea of a Christmas apology. A holiday characterized by the giving and receiving of gifts might be made even better by the giving and receiving of forgiveness. “I’m sorry” is the ultimate ice-breaker in a moment of conflict, contention, and misunderstanding. Let’s try to be better this year: more loving, forgiving, welcoming and reckoning. This song is a prayer—that we can all find a way to yield to the wisdom and understanding of forgiveness. I believe the world will find its way.” — Sufjan Stevens Inspired by the mixed media animation of Leesa Allmond (@leesology), the music video includes a total of 6,000 stills that were printed, hand-painted by Sufjan, Michael O’Neal, Cubby Graham, and Hannah Cohen and re-scanned to create the overlay effect on the video.
