Gustav Holst - The planets - Venus the bringer of Peace

[15justinbiebersgirl]

its sad that nobody ikes this music anymore. its so beautiful. they just dont know what theyre missing

[OBEYWEEGEE]

@15justinbiebersgirl Says '15justinbiebersgirl' Wow.

[digthepurple]

@SupDocOck Well, it's not quite the 483,743,265 views that Justin Bieber's "Baby" has. The point was that truly beautiful works fly under the radar because we're too swarmed by the "music" that the media shoves in our faces.

[CerebralEntrophy]

@digthepurple Oversimplified. You discount the fact that people who are looking for this video are looking for music and or astrological related subject matter. The people looking at bieber's videos have many more different reasons for viewing his videos. No preteens have the hots for the composer of this piece of music. Nobody hate this composer because their little sister listens to him all the time. No one has been forced to watch ads with this composer' in them. beiber's a different story.

So Mars beat everybody up, now Venus gives out Band-aids and heart surgeries.

[SupDocOck]

@034776 this is why mars the bringer of war has above 500,000 views

you're right, 500,000 is almost zero. it's not half a million or anything.

I am privileged to be going to hear this in the Royal Albert Hall in London this November!

[explosiveholes3]

It is just beautiful music,so complexed,peaceful,and it made me forget my worries,fears,and the chaos going around the world probably the greatest peice of music I have ever heard

[Sutone90]

It's funny how this song is so peaceful and it's about Venus.. But Venus is like a pressure cooker. I would've switched Venus's song with Mars's song lol

[harpiyon]

@Sutone90 the piece is not about the planet Venus, but about Venus the Goddess of Love. that´s the reason why it´s so peaceful.

[WolfLikesLeeksInc]

Ah, Venus also a tilt of two degrees, very cloudy with a thick atmosphere with sulfuric acid. Kind of yellowish brown from what we can see, also moonless. How quiet and desolite.

[LaurelsAppaloosas]

This is a very good recording. My second favorite of the Planets...Jupiter being #1. : )

[cledi1234]

Jupiter is also my favorite! We played it in my high school orchestra.

[hungus5000tron]

i like crank dat soulja boi better. just kidding

[034776]

Works of art like the planets get almost no views on youtube when compared to views acheived by some of the generic mindless music in the charts....

kind of somes up most people

[ChrisTeamProdigy]

Indeed

[Sshelly34213]

@034776 You have to keep in mind that only a small amount of the population actually enjoys that stuff. 1 million record sales in America for example is like 1 % of the population. So no one actually gives a damn about generic pop music at the end of the day. On the other hand everyone has heard the song Jupiter by Holst. Most people are familiar with classical tunes even if they don't know the name.

[iracundo23]

@034776 Agreed

[AshBalfour]

I completely agree, the talents, skills, brilliance and achievements of past generations, are all but lost on the current generation, and will continue to fade into mere memory. As is the case with spelling and grammar. That about SUMS it up.

[69Ira04]

@AshBalfour Sir, I believe I am among the current generation.

Also, every generation says this about its next-in-line.

[idiotbrothers]

omg that literally brought tears to my eyes...
