The best Song ever written

 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

 

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, Little high, little low
Any way 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, ooh, 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, ev'rybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh, I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico. 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.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah
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

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows

THANKS FREDDY.REST IN PEACE.YOU ARE UNFORGOTTEN.

Imagine, John Lennon 

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

--------------------------

I also LOVE QUEEN - Living on my own

www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTYNW8UmcQI

Sometimes I feel Im gonna break down and cry (so lonely)

Nowhere to go nothing to do with my time

I get lonely so lonely living on my own

Sometimes I feel Im always walking too fast

And everything is coming down on me down on me

I go crazy oh so crazy living on my own

Dee do de de dee do de de

I dont have no time for no monkey business

Dee do de de dee do de de

I get so lonely lonely lonely lonely yeah

Got to be some good times ahead

Sometimes I feel nobody gives me no warning

Find my head is always up in the clouds in a dreamworld

Its not easy living on my own

Dee do de de dee do de de

I dont have no time for no monkey business

Dee do de de dee do de de

I get so lonely lonely lonely lonely yeah

Got to be some good times ahead

Dee do de de dee do de de

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and you

And i think to myself:

"What a wonderful world!"

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night

And I think to my self:

"What a wonderful world!"

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by

I see friends shaking hands saying "How do you do."

Thay really say: "I love you!"

I hear babies crying I watch them grow

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

And I think to myself:

"What a wonderful world!"

Yes, I think to myself:

"What a wonderful world!"

CANDLE IN THE WIND (Tribute to the late PRINCESS DI)

 

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

You called out to our country

And you whispered to those in pain

Now you belong to heaven

And the stars spell out your name

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

Loveliness we've lost

These empty days without your smile

This torch we'll always carry

For our nation's golden child

And even though we try

The truth brings us to tears

All our words cannot express

The joy you brought us through the years

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And your footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned our long before

Your legend ever will

Goodbye England's rose

May you ever grow in our hearts

You were the grace that placed itself

Where lives were torn apart

Goodbye England's rose

From a country lost without your soul

Who'll miss the wings of your compassion

More than you'll ever know

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the wind

Never fading with the sunset

When the rain set in

And you footsteps will always fall here

Along England's greenest hills

Your candle's burned out long before

Your legend ever will

She

May be the face I can't forget

The trace of pleasure or regret

May be my treasure or the price I have to pay

She

May be the song that summer sings

May be the chill that autumn brings

May be a hundred different things

Within the measure of a day

She

May be the beauty or the beast

May be the famine or the feast

May turn each day into a heaven or a hell

She may be the mirror of my dreams

The smile reflected in a stream

She may not be what she may seem

Inside her shell

She

Who always seems so happy in a crowd

Whose eyes can be so private and so proud

No one's allowed to see them when they cry

She

May be the love that cannot hope to last

May come to me from shadows of the past

That I'll remember till the day I die

She

May be the reason I survive

The why and wherefore I'm alive

The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years

Me

I'll take her laughter and her tears

And make them all my souvenirs

For where she goes I've got to be

The meaning of my life is

She

She, oh she

I remember the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody,outside my friend's houseon a small transistor radio.

 

We, like pretty much everybody else, had never heard anything like it and were blown away by it, thussealing my fate as alifelong Queen fan.

 

I often wondered if "Bismilla"means the same in Farsi, as Farrokh Bulsara (aka Freddie Mercury) was born of Persian parents.

Freddie had one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

 

I love all his songs

 

Who wants to live forever, mother love, Too Much love will kill you,the great pretender, under pressure, the show must go on are my favorite ones.

I agree.  Queen certainly set the bar high when it comes to music.  You don't see many bands that offer the same complex dynamics with life as these guys back then.  I think music is alive, because it certainly influences people, it makes folks feel a certain way--that's why it has life.  Queen also is a good example that greatness is not gender specific, or both combined.  Good choice buddy!

 

I like too many to list.  I am kinda hooked on music, can't work without it.  Very quicly comes in mind; I think about the song HOME, by Michael Bubble'

 

It talks about what I feel when Im away from dreamandsmile, makes me feel like

 "I've been keepin all my letters that I wrote to you,

each one a line or two, to say baby I love you.

I would send them but I know that its just not enough

My words are cold in flight, and you deserve more....than that."

 

Man, I hope I get a bonus when she reads this.

FYI....  In BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY you'll see "Bismillah" repeated a couple of times. It's an Arabic phrase which means "In the name of God" ...

Yup... a very beautiful song written in 1976  from the album :"A Night At The Opera".  Whenever Queen performed this song live, they would go  backstage and played the recording on tape midway through the song and come back in again for the finale.

 

There are, however many many beautiful songs by other singers/groups and I hope QL members would give their best song list in this thread.

 

Let me start the ball rolling then .......

 

Imagine (John Lennon),

Let It Be (Beatles)

I Shall Be Released (Bob Dylan)

Words (Bee Gees)

Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton)

Hero (Mariah Carey)

 

I shall come back to Rock/Heavy Metal anthems later.

Over to you, members.....

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

 

I've paid my dues -

Time after time -

I've done my sentence

But committed no crime -

And bad mistakes

I've made a few

I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -

But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -

We are the champions -

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows

And my curtain calls -

You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it

-

I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses

No pleasure cruise -

I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -

And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions - my friends

And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -

We are the champions -

We are the champions

No time for losers

'Cause we are the champions - of the world
