I don't think I'll elaborate ^ because I don't want to creep either of you out - so I'm zipping it.

AND - the worst thing is, I don't actually have her chart. I've always tried to guess what influences she may have had. I was going for Aries/Scorpio..
I can't actually remember her exact surname either so wasn't able to find her on FB - It's pretty annoying. I don't like losing friends like that.

And - my Venus in Taurus is opposite Pluto in Scorpio. You have a Moon/Pluto opp on the same axis.

It would make perfect sense if the girl I mentioned, had a similar chart to you, because it seems to fit!
It's interesting you don't have personal planets in Scorpio though.. but maybe I was confusing a Capricorn vibe with a Scorpio vibe... or it could just be your Moon/Pluto opposition!

no it doesn't need drums and bass. some songs are better with 1-2 instruments. when you start incorporating too many instruments you might just lose the essence of it. even if you pull it off with more instruments, it doesn't make this version worse and the other better.

well, it IS a nice song, it's just not the style i prefer to listen to. if it was, i might be more in favour of it?

and i don't prefer simple music. i like music that i consider good. it can be with a single instrument, basic combination of multiple instruments, or an entire orchestra. just because a song is made with a few instruments, it doesn't make it less of a quality.

i said the song you posted is good, as a simple song. and that's just my opinion.

I don't think there is any "simple mindedness" when it comes to music. There is "average" (pop music) and then there are specific genres. Any of those can be complex or simple. Even Debussy composed music which could be played by either just piano, just violin or an entire orchestra. With one instrument you only get one level in the composition, but the technique used to produce the composition, remains the same.

In that sense, you really only have two types of music: "good" and "bad". Someone who can't compose, makes bad music. Someone who can, makes good music, regardless of the layers in that music. If a single composer can create compositions which have different layers and different complexities, that surely means that it does not take a simple mind to make - or even appreciate - single-layered music.

Sometimes a song just sounds better when there are less layers. Less can often be more. Sometimes just having a song sung acapella can sound more beautiful than when that voice is accompanied by an orchestra. If you appreciate that kind of music, that doesn't mean that you are unable to appreciate complex music.

But Justin Bieber is just... Argh. If it wasn't for the fact that it was written by people who know what they are doing and produced by people who know music, I wouldn't even call that music. But that's pop music for you. Purposely written on the level of the average person, so it can appeal to a greater crowd... (Which really suggests that pop music is in fact more complex than any other kind of music, since it is written and produced with a hidden agenda while less popular genres are just "pure and simple" )

Right. I'll shut up now. *puts foot back in mouth*
