now i'm mad. why? because i just had some of my queen obsession out of my system. i cut my listening time down a bit to get some variation. I'm right now in a listening phase where i constantly listen to Bob Dylan's "Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts". Now i want to get out my "Sheer Heart Attack" album again and sing along. I've learned how to sing more smoothly and strengthened my falsetto for the album closer which is just a magnificent tune.
Caps show usage of falsetto (not belting, just so we're clear)
"It's so EASYYY, but i can't do it, so RISKYYYYY, but i gotta chance it, so FUNNYYYYYY, but there's nothing to laugh about, my MONEYYYYYYY, is all you wanna talk about, i can't SEEEEE, what you WANTTTT, MEEE TOO BEEE, but i'm no foooool, it's in the lap of the gods" (cue epic multitracked refrain)
"There's no BEGINNINGGGG, there's no ENDINGGGGGG, there's no MEANINGGG, in my pretending, BELIEVEEEEE MEEEE, life goes on and on and (intake of breath), forGIVVVVVE MEEEEE, when i ask you where do I BELONNGGGG, YOU SAY I, CAN, NEVER SET YOU FREE, but that's not true, it's in the lap of the gods"
(cue epic multitracked refrain)
One of my favorite tunes.
Sorry for my rambling and even posting here, but Queen IMO is one of the best bands of all time. Brian May's brilliant guitar playing. Freddie's vocals and piano playing. Roger's drumming. John's funky bass and all four's great compositions.
