I know that when I sing, when I understand and believe the words, I
certainly feel different.  Does that show through?  I don't know.

So, let me ask an interesting spritual question:

Take two people who have the same voice capability -- but one of them
_believes_ what s/he is saying, and one does not.  Will there be any
difference in the output?  Will any listeners notice any difference?  Is
"immersion" enough?
