I definitely see the voice as an instrument: It makes great drums, great synth pads, great everything. Vocals can be so many things, like, "Hey, I'm Michael Jackson, and this is my iconic voice," or a choir of people sounding like Mozart's Requiem.

But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having.
Extrapolations are the last refuge of a groundless argument.
All knowledge that is not the real product of observation, or of consequences deduced from observation, is entirely groundless and illusory.
