Whiling Away the Hours with Queen


I must pass along my thanks to my friend Kathleen who posted a You Tube Video on Facebook last weekend featuring Queen and caused me to go on a Queen listening frenzie.  I enjoyed it so much I wanted to share it with my friends out in the blogsphere.



In case you happen to be from another music listening planet, from wiki:
Queen are a British rock band that formed in 1970. The band originally consisted of lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor. Queen have been described as giving the greatest live performance ever, producing the greatest single in history, and being the best British band of all time. They have released 15 studio albums, five live albums and numerous compilation albums.




You will have to click over to You Tube in order to hear Find Me Someone To Love  because embedding is disabled.  It is simply the best one ever, imo.  I particularly like seeing Freddie Mercury, Brian May Rodger and Taylor John Deacon in their younger days.


The Best Queen Song Ever - Find Me Someone To Love
Can anybody find be somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
(Take a look at yourself)Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have to spend all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief Lord
Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?


I work hard (he works hard) everyday of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end (at the end of the day)
I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down (down) on my knees (knees)
And I start to pray (praise the Lord)
'Til the tears run down from my eyes
Lord somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (please)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?


(He wants help)
Every day - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
(He's)I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah


Ooh
Somebody (somebody)
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
(Anybody find me someone to love)


Got no feel I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat (you just keep losing and losing)
I'm OK I'm alright (he's alright)
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
One day I'm gonna be free Lord


Find me somebody to love find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love find me somebody to love
Somebody somebody somebody somebody somebody
Find me somebody find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me somebody to love
Find me find me find me
Find me somebody to love
Somebody to love
Find me somebody to love...


Another "Best" Song - Love of My Life
Ok, so there is no such thing as a "best" Queen song.  There just are too many.  This one though has a special place in my heart.  Who hasn't loved and lost?  Join me in reminiscing about a lost love while we sing along, Karaoke style, (lyrics provided) with Queen.  In this video Freddie gives a great performance and  allows the audience to sing along for a bit as well, so you won't feel alone as the only one singing out of key!  I particularly like the shirt less Freddie!




Love Of My Life
Love of my life,
You hurt me,
You broken my heart,
Now you leave me


Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me


Love of my life don't leave me,
You've stolen my love you now desert me,


Love of my life can't you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me


You will remember when this is blown over,
And everything's all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there at your side,
To remind how I still love you
I still love you
I still love you


Hurry back hurry back,
Don't take it away from me,
Because you don't know what it means to me


Love of my life,
Love of my life


There are lots of great Queen Videos available on You Tube.  You can (as I did) while away a whole evening listening to them!

  1. Hi Peggy. I love your moon pics from last week, and I wanted to tell you that I really thought a number of your T.O. pics were professional pics, then realized they are all yours! I've been listening to Queen all week too. :-) We must still be in synch. It was great seeing you the other night. Happy Sunday, Kathleen
