I always say that if I could choose my voice, I would want Duncan Sheik's. His music is simple, but it's very sincere. Very human.
I especially like 'THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION". Superbly executed! It was nominated for an Oscar best picture but lost to "Forrest Gump"
Believe me, if there is really anything that one should read, try a Kurt Vonnegut or a Joseph Heller book. You'll be thanking me later.
