Sufjan Stevens' classic from "Carrie & Lowell"– A Reflective Solo Folk Accordion Instrumental

Описание: A quiet, acoustic button box accordion instrumental cover of Sufjan Stevens’ “Death With Dignity,” the opening track from his deeply personal album "Carrie & Lowell" (Asthmatic Kitty, released March 31, 2015). The song reflects on the death of his mother and childhood trips to Oregon.

This minimalist accordion rendition leans into the original’s fragile textures while leaving space around the melody for breath and room tone. “Death With Dignity” has become one of Sufjan’s most beloved songs, appearing in the opening episode of "This Is Us" ‪@SufjanStevensOfficial‬

This is my own improvised reduction/ arrangement performed by me (Chauncey Canfield). I do not own the rights to this composition.

If you appreciate intricate melodies, thoughtful compositions, and the unique sound of the folk button box, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like this video, subscribe for more acoustic covers, and let me know in the comments what other songs you'd love to hear on the accordion!
