I'm fairly new to Sufjan, but does his voice remind anybody else of Peter Silberman a little?

In an interview Sufjan gave some background on ‘Impossible Soul’:



“It’s like a Woody Allen film, you know, where there’s the slapstick on the surface that everyone can appreciate, but then, deeper, there’s all these original details. Maybe at the heart of a good Woody Allen film there’s some kind of universal tragedy of humanity that he’s speaking about; a much bigger thing. ‘Impossible Soul’ is really about a very primitive object. I want to get with a girl, and there’s all these obstacles, and shortcomings, and miscommunication… and this is a basic fundamental of life, between two human beings.



“But then very quickly – through an expository detour – it becomes something else. It’s all about personal happiness, or the state of mankind, or the cosmos – the cosmos is drawn into it. And then it becomes about… what is at the heart of our inability to really connect? Is it fear, or is it self-consciousness? And then it becomes a kind of therapeutic discourse that becomes the centrepiece of the song. But it’s no longer about, just like, “girl, I want to get with you.” It’s more like… what’s wrong with civilisation (laughs).”

I've read this review countless times and I've tried my best to understand completely what you're talking about but I'm still a bit confused. In what way did this album find the meaning of life? And what do you mean in the last line when you say "if we would cut our bodies open and rip out our souls and turn them into something that means everything."? I love this review so I rally want to understand it completely.

Even though you said it just cuz it sounded good after reading your review I viewed this album in a different way and since then this album has completely changed my life for the better so thank you.
