Rami Malek shares Bohemian Rhapsody Awesome and Funny Moments
 

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

A little high, little low

Anyway 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, ooo

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 everybody -

I've got to go

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)

I don't want to die

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

 

I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango

Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me

Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But 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 (never)

Never let you go - let me go

Never let me go - ooo 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 Ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Nothing really matters

Anyone can see

Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...

The meaning of the song was hidden in plain sight after all.

Although... I thought I saw an interview where Freddie denied "Boehemian Rhapsody " as his coming out song? I could be wrong.

 

Queen in the studio rehearsing the News Of The World Album

Quite an insightful look at the band playing. Brian May playing the solo and Freddie Mercury At The Piano And Sound desk mixing tracks.

Freddie Mercury of Queen

Sing On, Sir

When Queen participated in Live Aid in 1985, Mercury delivered what has been hailed as “The Note Heard Around the World”; a sustained note during the a cappella section which perfectly demonstrated Mercury’s incredible vocal talents.

 

 

 

Ricky was a young boy

He had a heart of stone

Lived nine to five and worked his fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school

Came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down

He had no money, oh

No good at home

He walked the streets a soldier

And he fought the world alone and now it's Eighteen and life you got it

 

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's Eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

 

Tequila in his heartbeat

His veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor runnin'

But he never kept it clean

They say he loved adventure

Ricky's the wild one

He married trouble

Had a courtship with a gun

Bang, bang, shoot 'em up

The party never ends

You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend

 

And now it's Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

 

Accidents will happen

They all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind

That child blew a child away

 

Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

Eighteen and life to go, yeah

Oh oh 🎸🤟🏻!!!!

 

 

 

 

Jeff Bezos first named the company as Cadabra, after the magic slogan “Abra-Cadabra”. When he first mentioned this to his lawyer over the phone, his lawyer misheard it as “Cadaver ???” . Bezos knew right then, that the name would not stick.

Bezos had the customer-centric approach to the business, right from the start. So, he had proposed to change the name to “Relentless Inc”, a way of saying that the company would be relentless in its approach to customer satisfaction. In 1994, the company’s then de-facto CTO was Shel Kaphan. He was not very amused by the proposal. So, Bezos continued to look for options for the company name.

In the 1990s, the number of websites were finite, and countable by humans. The websites were sorted alphabetically on the “internet directory” of those days. After a bunch of research, Bezos settled on Amazon Inc for two reasons -

1. Amazon river has the largest collection of flora and fauna in the world. Amazon Inc will represent the largest collection of retail items on the internet
2. Amazon-dot-com will appear in the first pages of the internet directory, making it easier to attract users and customers.

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away.

This year

To save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special.

 

Last Christmas

But the very next day you gave it away.

This year

To save me from tears

Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance

But you still catch my eye.

Tell me, baby,

Do you recognize me?

Well, It's been a year,

It doesn't surprise me (Merry Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying, "I love you,"

I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been.

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again.

 

Last Christmas

I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away.

This year

To save me from tears

Oh, oh, baby.

 

A crowded room,

Friends with tired eyes.

I'm hiding from you

And your soul of ice.

My god I thought you were someone to rely on.

Me?

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart.

A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo.

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again.

Maybe next year

I'll give it to someone

special.

Special...

Someone...

Hard to believe two years have passed .... time flies!!

I was a young passionate teenager in the late 1980's....

These type of ballads made a whole group of youth view "sexy" in a different way than our forefathers.

I guess that is true of almost any generation.

I should have known better
Than to let you go alone
It's times like these
I can't make it on my own
Wasted days, and sleepless nights
An' I can't wait to see you again

I find I spend my time
Waiting on your call
How can I tell you, babe
My back's against the wall
I need you by my side
To tell me it's alright
'Cause I don't think I can take anymore

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

I can't stop the feeling
I've been this way before
But, with you I've found the key
To open any door
I can feel my love for you
Growing stronger day by day
An' I can't wait too see you again
So I can hold you in my arms

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
This must be love
'Cause it's really got a hold on me
A hold on me

Is this love that I'm feeling
Is this the love that I've been searching for

Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for
Is this love or am I dreaming
Is this the love that I've been searching for

Songwriters: David Coverdale

Quote

They only laughed until they cried cuz they really wanted to cry. Innocence lost: love abandoned in youth's foolishness...she in a loveless marriage with security, he homeless, no one waiting, deep into his music; a nomad, wandering. both knew they loved each other and could only toast "what might have been"...Life only gives us one chance at real, abiding devotion; sadly while we are too young to recognize it. Killer sax echoes the poignancy of this lovely gem; the rain is a metaphor for their shredded hearts and tears...

 

 

This actually happened to Dan Fogelberg, he was home for the Holidays, his Mom sent him to the market to pick up some milk. and the rest is history. The lyrics, and everything about this song is beautiful and sad.

Awesome song!

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show

Chorus:
How deep is your love
I really need to learn
Cause were living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
Youre the light in my deepest darkest hour
Youre my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show

Chorus
Repeat and fade

Songwriters: Barry Gibb, Maurice Ernest Gibb, Robin Hugh Gibb

Lyrics:

Anything for you

Though you're not here

Since you said we're through It seems like years

Time keeps dragging on and on

And forever's been and gone

Still I can't figure what went wrong

I'd still do anything for you

I'll play your game

You hurt me through and through

But you can have your way

I can pretend each time I see you

That I don't care and I don't need you

And though you'll never see me cryin'

You know inside I feel like dying

 

Anyone know if Michael Bolton is still making music nowadays? What is he up to?

----------LYRICS--------

Sometimes it's hard

to make things clear

Or know when to face the truth

And I know that the moment is here

I'll open my heart and show you inside

My love has no pride

I feel with you I've got nothing to hide

So open your eyes and see who I am

And not who you want for me to be

I am only myself, myself

 

I don't wanna lose you now

We're gonna get through somehow

I don't wanna lose you now

or ever

 

'Cause baby I've finally found

The courage to stand my ground

But if you want me I'll be around, forever

 

We all make mistakes, we all lose our way

But we stood the test of time and I hope

That's the way it will stay

 

It's all up to you, to tell me to go

'Cause it won't be me to walk away

When you're all that I know

 

And I know that I don't wanna lose you now

We're gonna get through somehow

I don't wanna lose you now or ever

 

'Cause baby I've finally found

The courage to stand my ground

But if you want me I'll be around,

 

forever
