Oooo, I'm an Aquarian, too!  I feel you can tell if the artist has lived what he's singing about.  One of my favorite bands is Breathe.  I melt when I listen to their music.  My favorite song is Does She Love That Man off of their Peace of Mind cd.  You can hear it in his voice the suffering he must have gone through during that horrid time.

"Does she love that man?  The way that I'm loving her still.   Does she love that man?  For she has broken my will to survive."

I don't think I've ever heard "Goodbye To Love".  I'll have to go download it now.  I'm intrigued.

And to answer your question...Anogete is from the Sioux Native American language.  Anogete was one of the eight supernaturals.  She was depicted as a woman with one side of her face being ugly and the other being beautiful.  She represented duality in the world and in nature.  "Because you sense me but cannot see me, you fear me and think me a perversion.  But truly, it is your fear that perverts, for I am as natural to the fabric of your world as the sun that continues to shine above the dark thunder clouds."  I just found the very concept of Anogete interesting.  Besides, I'm a walking contradiction as well as a Gemini.  Oh boy, do I have two different sides.

I was just listening to The Carpenters on cassette yesterday!  I never knew enough about music to describe what you just did, nor have I sat and pondered those points you made.  I have, however, become completely lost in that song! 

Perfection to me is many works by Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Cat Stevens...see a trend here?  It's not the only type of music that I like, but I think these people are pure geniuses!

I would wither away and die without music in my life.  I listen to ALL kinds, but have a special fondness for Karen Carpenter and Anne Murray as a child.  They taught me to appreciate the beauty of an alto voice.  I was okay with not being able to hit the high notes in choir!
