    Default Betas do you relate to these Queen songs?

    Here are a couple of Queen songs. Do you relate to them? They are seemingly
    very different from each other. Do you think they are both Beta in spirit and
    if not why not? Also do you agree with Freddie Mercury being ENFj?

    freddie is about as enfj as they come. most of queen's music would epitomize beta as well.

    I'm thinking that is the case. However their audience is wider than just Betas I think. So to widen my question (in case non-Betas read this subforum)
    how do you non-Betas relate to these songs? And do you like/dislike them and their message and why?

    I like the second one better than the first.

    Reminds me of how my brother went through his Queen phase and my favorite was always this one:

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ADh8Fs3YdU[/youtube]

    I always found it so theatrical, like a Broadway Musical. Something to be belted out with an accompanying elaborate pantomime to an invisible audience. (Which I usually did).

    I could take or leave Queen. Never owned anything of theirs myself.

    If I am indeed SLE, then no, I do not relate to Queen. Ever. I despise the band.

    How about this one? (I've wanted to ask about this for a while.)

    [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ijh2Fqd1ZPY[/youtube]

    It seems to match Beta values (as I understand them), but what about you actual Betas? Do ya dig?
    (I'm referring more to the video itself, but include the music if you want.)

    Seemed to make up for it with Se overload...

    Anyway, ESE-like or not, I'm still interested as to whether any of you like it...

    If I think about people I know who also really like them, my INFp brother, and ENFJ girl and an ENTp guy come to mind.
    So yes, in my experience Queen are beta.

    Didn't someone say Marilyn Manson was INFp?

    I am always like shocked whenever I hear him speak because I don't know...he always sounds so genuinely compassionate. I know a lot of people try to APPEAR that way but he has like this saintly quality to me that blows all the fuckin INFjs out of the water. I sense that he really does give a shit, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. I would get along with him really well.

    God I love that man.

    He can be my personal Jesus. =)

    But eww, he doesn't mesh well with David Letterman at all does he?

    I have "The Love that Cannot Be" by Dead Can Dance stuck in my head. I love that song. Is it Beta-compatible? It has this sort of melancholy yearning feel to it that really resonates with me.

    I also love the key of C Minor (not saying that song is in it).

    It aint much I'm asking I heard him say
    Gotta find me a future move out of my way
    I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
    I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
    That somehow smells SLE

    The "Who wants to live forever" with
    What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
    From us
    ...
    But touch my tears with your lips
    Touch my world with your fingertips
    And we can have forever
    And we can love forever
    Forever is our today
    That close to IEI territory... heavy on meaning searching....


    I always loved Queen and somehow I always identified with Brian May.

    This song is also close to my heart... due to the meaning...

    ACE!

    I'm very excited because my school's jazz ensemble teacher has just agreed with my idea of doing Bohemian Rhapsody jazz/r&b style - it will be gold! Hopefully will be able to record it and then post it for you all to see. =d

    I'm totally obsessed with the latest Snow Patrol album, Eyes Open, in particular the song Open Your Eyes. Dramatic sweeping arrangements, emotive lyrics, a sense of yearning and immediacy.

    I care more about sound then words. The singing can be in an unknown language to me, or simple gibberish, but if done with the right emotion can get the message across better then understandable words sung unconvincingly.

    also, it seems like you'd like this kind of song?

    God no! I mean... I tried to look at it but... WTF? The melodic line is not to my tasting and the message altho it tries to raise awareness is JUST A DEPRESSING FACT! I don't mind seeing ugly facts if in the midst of this ugliness I see beauty, in the midst of hurt and sorrow I see hope and the triumph of GOOD. Think Schindler's List. or... if you want another musical example:

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzoNInZ2ClQ[/youtube]

    I think we IEIs like moving messages BUT they should be about POWER! The Power of ONE! just like this one:
    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOXOImxK0NA[/youtube]

    Now let me try to guess something you might like, based on the "sound matters" principle.
