| Queen in 1975 (From L-R: Roger Taylor -drummer; Freddie Mercury - vocals; Brian May - guitars and John Deacon - bass) |
I've always loved the band QUEEN and Freddie Mercury. And Freddie is the greatest showman, performer and singer for me in the entire universe. *hands down*. Close contender would be Michael Jackson. Hihi.
Anyway, aside from the song "Bohemian Rhapsody", the song "It's A Hard Life" (1984) from their album The Works (1984) would definitely be my next favorite QUEEN song of all time. The lyrics is just so beautiful. And the live performance of this song is also my favorite.
Gahd, I'm so obsessed with this band and their songs. They are truly wonderful. It just sucks that I've never got the chance to see him/them live. I wish I've lived in the era where great music exists. Yes I'm talking about 60s-80s music. Well, 90s was the era I grew up with and I can say that the music was fairly good. But if I get to choose what era I wish to live in in terms of music, I'd definitely choose the time The Beatles and Queen made great music for people to listen to. I guess I'm really an old soul. :)
Well, if you haven't heard the song or seen the music video and live performance of this song, let me share it with you, guys. One should be sharing good music to the world. ;)
It's A Hard Life by Queen (official music video)
It's A Hard Life (Live at Rock in Rio I - January 1985)
Queen + Tom Chaplin (It's A Hard Life - Live)
*This gotta be my favorite cover of the song. Well, it's not actually a cover because Tom Chaplin performed this song with Queen*
And here's the lyrics of the song;
IT'S A HARD LIFE
- Queen-
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to any one
You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah, I fell in love
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
Yeah yeah
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
(Ooh) I try to fight back the tears
(Ooh) They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts (yeah) deep inside (oh yeah)
When your love has cut you down to size
This life is tough on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back at myself and say I did it for love (ooh)
Yes I did it for love
For love, oh oh oh I did it for love
