Song Lyric Sunday – Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody, By Queen, has one of the most memorable song openings. When you break down the lyrics it becomes clear that it was a song describing Freddie Mercury’s struggle of coming out and how that would affect his deeply religious, but loving parents.

Song Lyric Sunday – The Show Must Go On

The guest prompter for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday is Melanie from Sparks From A Combustible Mind and she has given us Entertainment, Circus and Show. My mind went immediately to my Queen index and sure enough there was the perfect song. The Show Must Go On. It is a wonderful song written towards theContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – The Show Must Go On”

Song Lyric Sunday – Radio Ga Ga – No Nonsense

Our friend Amy Braun, from the blog ailovemusic, has provided the prompt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by Jim Adams, and it’s a good one. She has asked us to find a song with nonsense lyrics. I was stumped at first and then I got to thinking about it and remembered one ofContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Radio Ga Ga – No Nonsense”

Sports songs are what Jim Adams, our host of Song Lyric Sunday, has prompted us with this week. I was excited about this because I am a big sports fan.

Song Lyric Sunday – Killer Queen

Song Lyric Sunday prompts this week are Brutal, Cruel, Frenzy, Savage and Violent suggested by Melanie. I had a tough time with this one and apart from ‘Don’t Be Cruel’ by Elvis Presley I was stuck. Then I remembered an old favorite ‘Killer Queen’ by Queen and thought it fit the category perfectly, but withoutContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Killer Queen”

Song Lyric Sunday – Same But Different

A different kind of prompt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday, hosted by our friend, Jim Adams. He has asked us to compare two songs and discuss the comparison between them. I have chosen two songs, both with the same name, “Somebody to Love”, but with different lyrics and from different decades. Queen’s version wasContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Same But Different”

Song Lyric Sunday – Opera

I find this week’s prompts for Song Lyric Sunday very interesting. Our host, Jim Adams, has given us ‘Musical and Opera’. I had to think, was he asking us to find those words in the title or lyrics as usual, or did he want us to submit our own choices for opera and musical? MyContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday – Opera”

Song Lyric Sunday

This week Jim Adams has prompted us with Boogie/Rock/Rolling Stone for Song Lyric Sunday. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! I have a feeling a lot of old favorites will be shared. Here is my pick from my favorite band from the 70s – We Will Rock You by Queen. I loveContinue reading “Song Lyric Sunday”

Druid Queen

Druid Queen She weaved the mistletoeinto her golden hairSlipping on the long white dress While waiting for the mistTo clear from the morning airHer finger twisted a loose tress At the circle of stonesThe secret order assembled Impatient for the sun to break Waiting in the darknessHer body trembledand her hands began to shake At dawn’s first light The music brokeContinue reading “Druid Queen”
