Inspirational People
Zachary Levi
He is such an inspiration for me because he is a christian actor working within Hollywood, a not so good enviroment for the like. He raises money for those in need and places himself below everyone else, understanding that an actor is just that, an actor.

Justin Vernon
Justin Vernon grew up in Eau Clair, Wisconsin, and played with the folk band DeYarmond Edison from 2002 through 2006. That year he broke up with the band and his girlfriend, got mononucleosis hepatitis, and retreated to a hunting cabin in Wisconsin, where he wrote and recorded the songs that became the first Bon Iver album, For Emma, Forever Ago.
The band is renound for its strong sense of loneliness and remoteness that also has some tragedy behind the songs, uncovering the actual life story of Justin Vernon in an expressive manor that literally anyone could relate to.
Justin moving on with his music; both physically and spiritully, he continued his travels around the United States, composing lyrical melodys uncovering a state or familiarity with the environment.
This is, in my opinion the best album that Steven's has produced, following its subliminal spiritual messages and revealations.
As a whole, Bon Iver has been my favourite band since I head the piece "Creature Fear" in an episode of "CHUCK", back in 2011. I fell in love with the composition and use of instruments to create such a tune.
The song actual relates to the future, the possibility of change both good and bad coming pretty fast, it seems inevitable. Justin calls this concept creature fear.
Bon Iver's most idyllic and popular song is "Skinny Love", relating to the troubles of a relationship.
The phrase skinny love means:
"when two people love each other, but are too shy to admit it, yet they show it anyway".
