Queen

so if you know my all-time favorite band is Queen<3<3 I'm thinking of starting a Queen kind of marathon here:) don't really know yet, because it's Queen and I want it to be really perfect and nothing ells:)thats probably the reason why I haven't put up anything about Queen yet.

so I just start to put up a few random songs from the Queen discography. the reason why i chose this songs is just that on I came across them when listening to some songs one of them just felt right at the moment and it still does and some just is really good...and that's what's music is all about: feeling.

the songs maybe isn't so known but I must start somewhere...

"I was born to love you"



"las Palabras de Amor(The Words of Love)"



"Mad the Swine" so this is an unreleased song from the first Queen album - "Queen" from 1973 but the song was never released on that album instead it was released on the single "headlong" i 1991. so when i came across it i was like: omg a queen song i haven't heard:) and i love it.

this is really old school Queen<3



"Princes Of the Universe" - included in the soundtrack for the movie "Highlander" a song that is not know by people that don't listen to queen really much, but it's Queen all trough<3



Queen 4-ever

"The Spirit Of Radio"

I love song that pays tribute to music and that explains the love for music:)

so the song "The Spirit Of Radio" by Rush was released in 1980 on the album "Permanent Waves".

The song talks about the music industry, in general. It's saying that music can be a wonderful form of expression, and can make life better, when made for the right reasons.

"Begin the day with a friendly voice,
A companion unobtrusive
Plays the song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood."
this first part really talks about how music can make your day if you waking up and hearing the DJ's voice on the radio and then music start playing and you feel so happy. This have happened to me countless times:)

The song is also saying that the music industry can ruin music. It can fill people with the wish to make music solely for money, for profit, and no other reason.
the last line:
"and the words of the profits were written on the studio hall
and echoes with the sounds of salesmen"
it's that this makes many musicians compromise their art, their music, for the money.
"glittering prizes and endless compromises" It's also saying that it doesn't need to be this way, "it's really just a matter of your honesty". It's up to the musicians to make the music for the right reasons.

it's the horrid truth of what music has come down to: money/fame/profit. The song explains music doesn't have to be this way it shouldn't be about this. The chorus...
"Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenna bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free."
that there explains the beauty of music. It's invisible air waves but yet music means so much to people. It shouldn't be about the price of money, but about the passion of music, the love for music, the freedom they get, but mostly how it affects them as a person and their fans...these things are priceless...

"...All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted.
Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question
Of your honesty, yeah, your honesty...."
I think this part is for all those who think capitalism & technology are at fault for any decline in "soul" music might have. Music can have soul regardless of the medium involved, and money can even be made off of it if done with honesty and integrity.

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music,
But glittering prizes and endless compromises
Shatter the illusion of integrity."
This statement describes many many artists in the music industry, they begin with integrity, but then lose it by "selling out".... they have lost their integrity, artists such as Brittany Spears, Ashlee Simpson. They and many more have proven the point that musicians seeking "glittering prizes" will end up with "endless compromises" ultimately end up "shattering" their careers and loosing many of their once adoring fans.

I can just say that this is what music should be about: the freedom, life, emotions and a gift beyond price...

No music, No Life...

Wonderwall

"Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my Wonderwall"

"Wonderwall" by Oasis

I love this song, but it can be really tricky to figure out the lyrics...

first I must point out one thing, that this is a song that can be interpreted in many ways, depending on the person and how the person is feeling at the moment. Noel Gallagher that has written this song, is one of the best song writers I think and he can write a song with such a depth that can go right in to the heart of everyone.

It’s so great when an artist sings with such passion. I think what makes a song great is when it really means a lot to the person that is singing it, if they can make you feel the song they've done they're job. It’s also cool when the artist says something that many people can relate too, but most people wouldn’t have been able to think of in those words themselves.

many people think of this as an love song. I totally agree because the song can mean so many thing.

So this is one way to think of this song. In a large sense it is about not being able to act on your feelings. The girl (probably a friend of the guy) that the song is about means the world to the guy, but he's unable to express his love in fear of what may happen to their friendship if he does. You are afraid to say anything personal, and even more afraid of not say anything.

then there is a other way. Noel Gallagher have said that it's a song about an imaginary friend who’s going to save you from yourself. and if you look at the lyric that fits in perfectly. He wants a person to help him with his problems but he can't find anyone. He has trouble to talk about he's problems and that's why he wants that persons help. "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do, about you now" I think means that because he can't find anyone ells so he can be the only one that can feel anything about the imaginary person is himself.
"And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding"
The person has it hard to help you, and it says that everything that is hard In life will have some bump in the road on the way there.

so what about the definition of the word "wonderwall"?

A wonderwall i think is a person that you can talk to about everything, that understands you like no one ells, one you can share your feelings and thought to and save you from your problems. A person being there through it all. a perfect person being there through it all, and that person is just always going to be there. A very special person that makes you truly happy in your heart, makes you come alive and free and safe, a safe heaven, from the rest of world when you are with that person. And I'm really happy that I have found one of those persons in my life:)

So this is the Original "Wonderwall" and the music video is good to:)



I came across another version of the song. In the original Liam Gallagher is singing and Noel Gallagher is playing guitar. I found a live version on youtube where Noel Gallagher preforms the song by himself. Noel sings with such passion and it's so beautiful I get chills every time I see it... The two version is both really really good but no version can beat the original even thought this version is really good:)
