For the past half hour, I've been listening to "Gone" from pandemoniumfromamerica. I just keep repeating it over and over. Fascinating.

You know, regardless of Elijah's stated feelings about actors who insist on trying to be recording artists (which I deeply appreciate, by the way), I gotta say I wish he would record. He has a beautiful singing voice. I'd heard him sing now and then as an actor, of course, and I wasn't ever impressed, and now I realize it's because it was always a character singing. It was never Elijah.

I'm especially impressed by how different his voice is than I expected. Total cliche but true: I expected him to sound much younger, lighter than he does. (Ridiculous, ain't it?) But it's deeper and richer than I thought it would be. There's a bottom in there too, nice dark layer underneath that tells me his voice would get better with age. It gives the impression of a voice that would get more profound as it experienced more of life to sing about.
