Filled with heartbreak, the album cryptically addresses Stevens' frustration with the notorious job market in the city of Flint in a lovely ballad that opens the record, and documents the depressing struggle the city of Detroit has fought to once again attain the elegance it had prior to the riots in the late '60s however, it also touches on a brighter side, as in the cascading 'Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!' Its title is a reference to the campaign adopted by the state in the 1980s and serves as the centerpiece as well as Stevens' attachment and amour for the state he is from. Sufjan Stevens's third album is a charming homage to his home state of Michigan.
