"When Elliott starts singing with his ethereal voice, his vocals as always come from the coast on the other side of life.  
     This place is not altogether death. 
     It is the universal loss that we all experience at the moment of birth in the separation from our Divine Parents, the Holy Source of All, when we are exiled from the Great Self and Great Reality and given a name, ego, and too many illusions to count.  
     Yet there are aspects of the material plane that offer convergence, reconciliation, renewal, redemption, and the process of healing.  One of them is Elliott Smith’s voice."
