2015 Valentine's Song Countdown: Your Song by Elton John

There is beauty in simplicity.

There is an art in being able to execute simplicity.

Usually the simpler things are, the harder it actually is.

Because there are not as many distractions, or because there is not as much noise, it is hard to hide flaws.

This song is one of the best love songs out there. By far.

The simplicity in the musical arrangement, and the honest straightforward nature of the lyrics just work.

This song couldn't be pulled off with triple tracked guitars and distortion.

It wouldn't work.

In this instance, less is definitely more.
