The "spirit voice" speaking through and with the android girl, explains this to the boy to calm his fears as she transforms his dying body into a machine. 

She tells him, becoming mechanical is just one transformation in a long line of possibilities. 

Andria believes they may eventually become beings of light and experience existence as one eternal day.

Everything here is great.  This song in particular reminds me of the band "Air".  Animation, I say!

"If time stops at the speed of light, and if you could become light itself, 
You would not experience the passage of time."

"I loved "the universal way". After listening to more, I feel the music with eyes closed and penetrating my mind with a soft caress of my over responsive sinapsis ... Sorry, but your music cannot be expressed any other way ... I feel my dopamine slowly giving me a moment to relax rather than its relentless power to over replicate its consistent over production... this probably doesnt make a word of sense but music like yours can be felt from the inside out and my neuro difficulties find a place in my mind to relax like i haven't in such a long time... i love your music! My neurologic fall from grace is best comforted by how relaxed you and your wife make me feel from your talents." -Mike HC Wilson, Musician

"This project is so cool and brilliant and unexpected! I love the music and the artwork (the art is intense...). When I saw the image first (before I read the story), I thought it looked like it was new age meets steam punk ... I love to see something that is a brand new hybrid -- Once I read the story it made sense and for me now the image feels like---sci fi meets new age meets steam punk : ) the music is of course impeccable and oh so beautiful.... I look forward to the development and really am inspired..." -Joella March, Artist

"Have long been a fan of gorgeous Familiar Trees and when vocalist Fabiola Sanchez sent me an invitation to listen to their new project, I pulled my ears for me. Music, art and ideas in a relationship I am attracted to. Icons Of Andria is a collaboration between Rodney Sellars of The Year Zero and Ken Negrete and Fabiola Sanchez of Familiar Trees . The music is harmonious and beautiful in a moderate pace... Mazzy Star , Slow Dive and Bat For Lashes are acts that pop up in my mind and I just want more. Icons Of Andria is working on a concept album that will be published on the web song to song, and today's track The Universal Way was the first of many more I hope." - Fredrik Hoffman, HOFFAS MUSIK BLOGG

The Universal Way

"It's kind of a dark solution story, but it's also a spiritual analogy. Basically this future world is poisoned, and a human boy is dying because of it. He finds an android woman who wants to save him. The only way she can do so is by transforming him into an machine like herself. I think it's my futuristic paranoia that machines will either be the death of us all, or our saviors!" -Rodney Sellars
