A decade after his death, the backdrop of Smith's album Figure 8 serves as a memorial to his life for fans who were left with a lasting impression by the beloved musician's deeply personal songs.
Like Smith's music, the wall is an understated, direct work of art. And it too can be read like a Rorschach ink blot, made out to be lines on a piece of sheet music or winding bits of circuitry-the red ones representing love, passion, or blood. Take a look at it from across the street, and it's simply a big "S"-as in "Solutions!" or "Stephon." Or, in light of the musician who brought us here, "Smith."

I was crushed when they painter over the original!I'm glad they repainted it, but it's not the same.

I loved the movie the royal tenenbaums, I always love needle in the hay and I remember figuring out who wrote and discovering songs like "Between the bars" and "Angeles" and then discovering he had passed on. There was so much excitement and then a big let down.
