Oh my goodness! LETS ROCK!
I am really NOT a rock star of any kind. I love to sing and play pop music and songs from musicals. I had classical vocal and piano lessons, so to break away from all that is quite difficult for me, though I wanted to give it a go.
I enjoy listening to rock and really admire those who can carry it off. My boyfriend plays and sings rock music and is great at electric guitar, saxophone and various other instruments. I however, could never get up on stage and do what he does, and though I have performed this song before as an open mic, this week was quite a task for me.
I have very fond memories of listening to Queen with my friend Julia, whilst we were at college. This was almost 40 years ago but I can remember all the lyrics of the tape we constantly played...including all the misheard lyrics. Queen are still one of my favourite bands. There is nobody like dear old Freddie. What a dreadful pity that he died so young. Imagine what he might have been doing now.
I hope you don't think I've murdered what was a perfectly fine song before I got hold of it..but I wanted to rise to the challenge, so I even got some flashing 'rockstar' type lights in my little studio. Sorry if I offend your ears with this one.
I recorded the vocal and keys together then added some drums and bass afterwards....sorry if its a bit of a car crash.
