The following is an excerpt from an email discussion between my brother and me, regarding another aspect to July 23rd's topic:

"And, what I meant by the spiritual remark is that Sufjan's music, more than most others, re-enforces the idea for me that there can be a deeply spiritual source to music. Just the combination of melody and passion (words don't even always matter) that vibrates and echoes deep within. To get chills, and for tears to well up, from so much...sound."
