"I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean."
Socrates

An artist is someone who can hold two opposing viewpoints and still remain fully functional.

Nostradamus wrote most of his predictions in Quatrains.... One has to wonder, given the real power of poetry, if those predictions were truly a vision of a future , or perhaps merely self-fulfilled prophecy, through the readers.

I have to say, that I don't know a thing about Nostradamus.

He made many predictions , which apparently have come to pass...

looks kinda like carnival mysticism to me.

I love to create and write music! I could go for hours without stopping with the right musicians. Not everything I do comes out perfect but if I put my heart and soul into it usually comes out good.

well you can't say better than that.

If you CAN write Good music - you should.
If you can write fairly good music - you still should; you'll get better . . .
But if your originals sound like someone else's songs - then you should probably stick to doing covers.
.
It comes down to our own tastes however.
.
Music is highly subjective; we each play for the reasons that are the most rewarding for us.
So - if you don't like your own songs as much as other people's songs - then play their songs.
If you like your own songs better - then play your own songs.
If you can do both equally well, then I look at it like this, "Why be a 2nd rate imitation of someone esle, when you can be a first-rate version of yourself?"

actually to answer your original question,
there all around you
