Queen

    

    Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1971, originally consisting of Freddie Mercury

(lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), John Deacon (bass guitar, guitars, vocals), and Roger

Taylor (drums, vocals).

    The first song I heard of them is ofcourse 'We Will Rock You' It is one of their most famous song

all over the world. I also saw their live video. Their performance at 1985's Live Aid is regarded as

one of the greatest in rock history. They were also regarded as rank six in the top ten rock bands all

the time. To me, Freddie Mercury is music where singing or just talking. He dared to go where

others couldn't or dared to venture. Not one of his songs sounds like another. His vocal range and

delivery are also unbelievable. I will introduce another famous song from him. This song is

'Bohemian Rhapsody'.   Freddie Mercury's vocal is so beautiful and various.

    The song has no chorus, instead consisting of three main parts: a ballad segment ending with a

guitar solo, an operatic passage, and a hard rock section. At the time, it was the most expensive single

ever made and remains one of the most elaborate recordings in popular music history. It is also a

great connection between rock music and opera.

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...
