Queen: glam rock, rock progresivo, folk, blues y pop

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen

Queen es una banda británica de rock formada en 1970 en Londres por el cantante Freddie Mercury, el guitarrista Brian May, el baterista Roger Taylor y el bajista John Deacon. Si bien el grupo ha presentado bajas de dos de sus miembros (Mercury, fallecido en 1991, y Deacon, retirado en 1997), los integrantes restantes, May y Taylor, continúan trabajando bajo el nombre Queen, por lo que la banda aún se considera activa.4​

El grupo gozó de un gran éxito en el Reino Unido con álbumes como Sheer Heart Attack (1974) y A Night at the Opera (1975). Este último llamó la atención internacionalmente, en especial por el sencillo "Bohemian Rhapsody", y colocó a Queen en un primer plano de la escena musical. Tuvieron una significativa repercusión en Estados Unidos a finales de los años 1970, ya con un numeroso repertorio de éxitos.5​ A nivel artístico, se ha destacado su diversidad musical, sus arreglos en múltiples capas y sus armonías vocales. Es considerada una banda de gran influencia en el desarrollo del hard rock y el heavy metal, incorporando elementos del glam rock, rock progresivo, folk, blues y pop. Fue una de las primeras agrupaciones musicales en hacer de sus conciertos espectáculos muy vistosos mediante el uso de bombas de humo, flashpots o innovadores sistemas de luces móviles, además de promover la participación del público en los mismos, contribuyendo así al auge del arena rock.6​ La crítica ha señalado el carisma de Freddie Mercury como una parte fundamental de sus presentaciones.7​ A este respecto, habitualmente se han reconocido actuaciones como las del Live Aid en 1985 o el concierto del estadio de Wembley en 1986 como dos de los mejores recitales de rock de la historia.8​9​10​ Aunque el cuarteto normalmente gozó de una gran popularidad y éxito comercial, en su momento una parte de la crítica no les tomó en serio, como por ejemplo cuando en la publicación Rolling Stone se criticó el álbum Jazz llamándolo "fascista".5​

«Bohemian Rhapsody» (en español, «Rapsodia bohemia») es una canción y sencillo de la banda británica de rock Queen. Fue escrita por Freddie Mercury para el álbum de 1975 A Night at the Opera. «Bohemian Rhapsody» presenta una estructura inusual, más similar a una rapsodia clásica que a la música popular.

La canción no posee estribillo y consiste en seis secciones: una introducción a capela, una balada, un solo de guitarra, un segmento operístico, una sección de rock y una coda que retoma el tempo y la tonalidad de la balada introductoria. El solo de guitarra de esta canción ha sido considerado el vigésimo mejor de todos los tiempos en el Reino Unido.1​

Cuando se puso a la venta como sencillo, "Bohemian Rhapsody" se convirtió en un éxito comercial que permaneció en la cima de las listas británicas durante nueve semanas. Alcanzó allí el puesto número uno otra vez en 1991, tras la muerte de Freddie Mercury. En total, alcanzó 2 176 000 ventas, siendo el tercer sencillo más vendido de todos los tiempos en Reino Unido.2​

Queen - I Want To Break Free, 1984





I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break free
I've got to break free
I want to break free, yeah
I want, I want, I want, I want to break free

"A night at the opera", dos discos de vinilo que compendian lo mejor de esta banda.
Encima de ingleses, tremendos maricones pero cantaban muuy bien, sin dudas que sí.

Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Hey
Oh take it
Bite the dust
Kinda dusty!
Hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust oww
Another one bites the dust hey hey
Another one bites the dust eh eh
Oh shoot out
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him when he's down
But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat oh yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust
Oh shoot out, hey hey, all right

John Deacon's bass line was inspired by "Good Times" by the disco group Chic.[14][15] In an interview with NME, Chic co-founder Bernard Edwards stated, "That Queen record came about because that Queen bass player ... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio."[16]

Recording sessions – produced by Reinhold Mack at Musicland Studios in Munich (West Germany) – consisted of Deacon playing almost all instruments: bass guitar, piano, electric guitar, and handclaps. Roger Taylor added a drum loop and Brian May contributed noises with his guitar and an Eventide Harmonizer. There are no synthesisers in the song: all effects are created by piano, electric guitars and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, sound effects were run through the harmonizer for further processing. The effect of the harmonizer can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. In early live performances, Taylor sang lead on the chorus, as opposed to the studio version sung entirely by Mercury. As the song became more well-known, the band could rely on audiences to sing the chorus by themselves. After attending a Queen concert in Los Angeles, Michael Jackson suggested to Freddie Mercury backstage that "Another One Bites the Dust" be released as a single.[17]

At the 1981 American Music Awards on 30 January, "Another One Bites the Dust" won the award for Favorite Pop/Rock Single.[8] The song also garnered Queen a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[9] It lost to Bob Seger's Against the Wind.[9] The music video for "Another One Bites the Dust" was filmed at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.[18] The song also appears in Queen's Greatest Hits album in 1981.

The song was used in a preliminary cut of Rocky III, before being replaced by Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger". "When one of my idols, Brian May, attended one of our shows in Los Angeles in 1984, he brought up that subject," recalled Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan, to whom Sylvester Stallone had supplied a copy of the movie. "I offered to send him a copy of the tape, which I still own."[19]

This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my track's
Take a back seat (ah hum), hitch-hike (ah hum)
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Pero colega!

¿Usted lo querìa para escuchar mùsica o para andar noviendo? :D

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly (radio)
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio (radio)
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Someone still loves you
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

Traducciòn:
Me sentaba solo
y miraba tu luz,
mi única amiga
durante mis noches de adolescencia
y todo lo que tenía que saber
lo escuchaba en mi radio.

Les diste todas esas viejas estrellas
de todos los tiempos,
las guerras de los mundos
invadidos por Marte
Les hiciste reír,
les hiciste llorar ,
nos hiciste sentir
que podíamos volar.

Así que no te conviertas
en un simple ruido de fondo,
en una mala salida para las chicas y chicos
que no saben
o simplemente n


o les importa
y sólo se quejan cuando no estás allí.

(ESTRIBILLO)
Tú tuviste tu tiempo,
tú tuviste el poder
pero todavía está por llegar
tu mejor momento
radio.

Todo lo que escuchamos es
Radio bla bla
Radio blo blo
Radio bla bla
Todo lo que escuchamos es
Radio bla bla
Radio bla bla
Radio ¿qué hay de nuevo?
Radio, ¡aún hay alguien que te ama!

Vemos los espectáculos,
vemos las estrellas
en los videos
durante horas.
Apenas necesitamos
utilizar nuestros oídos
¡Cómo cambia la música a través de los años!

Esperemos que nunca nos dejes vieja amiga
como todas las buenas cosas,
de ti dependemos
Así que quédate por aquí,
porque quizás te echemos de menos
cuando crezcamos cansados
de todo este mundo

(ESTRIBILLO)
