Queen: Bohemian Rapsody

Bohemian Rapsody

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.




We decided to choose 'Bohemian Rhapsody' because, apart from the fact that it is a classic and the most popular Queen's song, It's also one of the greatest songs ever written.
It was recorded in 1975 and released on the same year by Freddie Mercury, inmediatly it became a hit. The album where it apeared at first was "A Night at the Opera". The music is very original and the way they manage to create so many different voices is awesome. They are only four guys but when you hear their songs, it looks like they were more o less 20 people. It is very interesting when you stop for a while to hear carefully the lyrics.

Nirvana's songs


Tourette’s


Moderate Rock
Moderate Rock
May day, every day, my day

Could've had a heart attack, my heart

We don't know anything, my heart

We all want something fair, my heart


Hey hey hey hey hey!


Out of town, out of sight, is my heart

Queen of lies, today, my heart

One more on the phone, my heart

One more at the door of my heart


Hey hey hey!


Mean heart!

Cold heart!



The title of this song refers to Tourette’s syndrome, which is a disorder characterized by the presence of multiple physical tics involving the entire body, such as kicking and stamping and at least one verbal tic.The verbal tics may also be expressed as the involuntary use of obscene words or socially inappropriate words and phrases or obscene gestures, and i think that Kurt Cobain made this song thinking about those times when we feel like if we were under the influence of this syndrome and we couldn´t control ourselves. This happends often to me, and i love those moments because i feel free and i don’t think about what i’m doing or saying i just do it, and that’s all. When i hear it i get involved in the sunds and i a lose my mind, it drives me crazy, actually.

Lithium

I'm so happy cause today I found my friends.

They're in my head. I'm so ugly. But that's ok.

'Cause so are you.

We've broke our mirrors.


Sunday morning.

Is everyday for all I care.

And I'm not scared.

Light my candlrs.

In a daze cause I've found god.


Yeah I'm so lonely.

And that's ok. I shaved my head.

And I'm not sad.

And just maybe.


I'm to blame for all I've heard. And I'm not sure.

I'm so excited.

I can't wait to meet you there.
And I don't care.

I'm so horny.

But that's ok.

My will is good.


Yeah

I like it. I'm not gonna crack. I miss you.

I'm not gonna crack. I love you. I'm not gonna crack. I kill you.

I'm not gonna crack!






This song reminds me lots of feelings i used to have when i was younger, it represents the anger and the love at the same time.. It makes me think about a time full of confusion and desperation.

Civil War – Guns and Roses

"What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Some men you just can't reach...

So, you get what we had here last week,

which is the way he wants it!Well, he gets it!

N' I don't like it any more than you men."


Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before


Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

The way we've always done before


My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride

For the love of God and our human rights

And all these things are swept aside

By bloody hands time can't deny

And are washed away by your genocide

And history hides the lies of our civil wars


D'you wear a black armband

When they shot the man

Who said "Peace could last forever"

And in my first memories

They shot Kennedy

I went numb when

I learned to see

So I never fell for Vietnam

We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all

That you can't trust freedom

When it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin'

For their promised land


And I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that freshI don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling

Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing

The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed

Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still the wars go on as the years go by

With no love of God or human rights

'Cause all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"We practice selective annihilation of mayors

And government officialsFor example to create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As popular war advances

Peace is closer"


I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich while it buries the poor

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh

And I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

I don't need your civil war

Your power hungry sellin' soldiers

In a human grocery store

Ain't that freshI don't need your civil war

I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war

Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway





We choose this song because it shows us how crazy the world is now. It reflects that men are killing themselves for nothing, without caring other peolple. Although these lyrics tell us about a specific landmark as the Civil War in America, we think that this kind of Civil War is generally happening in the world nowadays.

"Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd


So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


We chose this lyric because it's one of Pink Floyd's popular songs, and it had been written for Syd Barret, a former member of the band who had to left it because of drug problems.

Ac Dc: “Decibel”

Take up all your time, 

Kick up your heels, lookin' fine, 
And you come riding blind, 
You come rollin' back a while, 
Wind blowin' on ya, 
We're gonna move on and on, 
Sweating heat, soak you all, 
Being out will make you crawl all night, 

Decibel, decibel, 

Has you from deep inside, 
You were waving then you smiled, 
Give me rock and roll, 
They're in love, 
Love, in the rain, 
They're in there rocking standing proud, 

Decibel, 
That's the history of rock and roll, 
Decibel, 

Rain is coming on, 
We're gonna ride along, 
A hundred miles in all, 
Getting in night Â'til dawn, 
Spread the joy going on, 
Yeah, hard and long, 
Staring down, with a shock hit the ground, 

Decibel, 
Decibel, 
Decibel, 
You come rolling back a while, 
Decibel, 

Decibel

We chose this because it is our favourite Ac Dc song. It is really energetic, crazy, and it has great guitar parts.                                                                                         By Fede and Toto (Federico and Hector).
