VH1 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time

Great music artists are not hard to find, but to rate this genius is a tough ask, to rate them by their fame, their work or their class? Everyone is a class apart. Everyone has a different style, how they put out their work into a piece of art is remarkable. Everyone here have achieved great heights in their respective carriers, but personally I think to rate them in any kind of way is not doing justice to them. Everyone is as good as the other, yes; there are some who remarkably created waves in the music world, some were extremely talented, but all in their own, changed the face of music in their own possible way. With their music, they've crossed every boundaries, abolished colour, redefined life as we see it and as we live it, stood up for Humanity, fought against corruption and crime, and so many countless things done through the power of their music, it united us as one.

Bleed To Be Cut

"Sometimes even as a Human Being one has to learn to be God some how...!"

Walking through this life in an entirely unknown direction all alone and without any support at all can be dangerous. You've tried all your life to live your live in a much different way, you want it to be simple, and then you want all the happiness. You want to live it rich, and then you want to get even more than you can really take. You want everlasting life but you don't want the hardships and the pain surrounding it. You don't want to socialise, but there is too little you can do all alone, you get crippled all alone inside your lonely heart. That's the state of being a Human I guess, you never know what is gone until it is really lost, and you got to get cut just to bleed.

We were the victims of ourselves somehow, maybe the children of a lesser God caught up between Heaven and Hell. We do not need directions, but can we sort out our own way. There are many lessons to learn here on Earth, but to understand everything properly one needs to be cut deep within his soul and dig in within the depth of his spirit, what he then sees maybe the answer to it all. Answers to the questions never known, answers to the hidden, invisible voices that ring on into the idle mind, we never understand it all.
