http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iikKzQwgBJc&feature=relatedI’m a rocker chick through and through. The ultimate Queen of the band QUEEN! Nothing gets me through a long day like rock. It may be from Jon Bon Jovi, Queen, Rod Stewart, Meatloaf, Nickleback etc. Rock music gives me full blown attitude that says get up and go kick some butt. You can do it! “We are the champions. We’ll keep on fighting till the end. We are the champions of the world!” This is my taking a bow moment and an awe of the daily milestones and achievements. Weird that it saddens me at the same time.
We are born to be “princes of the universe”. If only we believed this, even if it’s just a fraction of this song, we would achieve so much more. We live and think poverty daily, what more if we just for one day believed we are worth more? How much more could we achieve? This is a redemption song for us as an African continent. We could conquer so much and achieve so much. We are royalty, princes of this universe.
When I want what I want when I want it song. “I want it all X3 and I want it now” (my impatient spoilt brat moments sometimes gets the better of me). I suppose we are synonymous with instant gratification. We need to start learning that planting a tree takes years of labour, preparation, nurturance but the fruits are sweeter. We are always in a rat race, yet never sit back and enjoy the achievements before moving onto yet another project check list.
Even when you are feeling down and under, just think the “Show must go on.” Life carries on no matter what. I remember when my Father passed away; I suppose I expected the world to stop and everyone around me to give me a moment of silence to pay their respect. Oh boy was I wrong. So whatever you are going through, remember the “show must go on!” Put on them big girl panties, get over it and move on.
“Fat bottomed girls you make the rocking world go round” (even though Freddie Mercury was gay, he knew we needed some fat bottomed girls to make the world go round – Ode to my sistas who have ATM’s (African Trade Marks – let’s carry ourselves with pride).
We all have been to school athletics and have stomped on those stands and clapped to the beat of our victory song “We will, we will rock you.” Yep, it’s a golden oldie and there you thought you only listen to RnB.
“A crazy little thing called love.” This is one happy-get-up-on-your-feet-and-do-the-swing. Get up and grab that partner onto the dance floor, just let your feet move and follow your rhythm of love.
I have such phenomenal friends. Feel blessed each time I think of what I have been through with them and how we’ve stayed on. Even though I’m lousy at returning calls and visiting. But I have friends I can trust. “Friends will be friends.” Thank you for being my sisters and brothers.
“Bohemian rhapsody” is one of a kind song that has been adapted into different versions by diverse artists. However the original still holds a big place in my heart and makes a lasting impact. Queen still gets royalties in their retirement years.
“Don’t stop me now cos I’m having a good time.” While on leave in Cape Town in April, I had such a great time and realised I could get used to the life of Leisure. (Will have to write about that more, what crazy thoughts came to mind while on holiday).
The centuries long yearning for love could not have come better than in the song “Can anybody find me somebody to love?” Even Sade has a song sharing the same sentiments “Pls send me someone to love.” I guess I identify more with this song right now. At 32 never thought I would be single and still have to go out there and pick my soul mate. Thought this would be sorted by now. I suppose we all have an ideal age and natural progression in life. You go to school, study, fall in love, graduate, get a job, get married, have kids, retire and resign from this world. I guess some of us never abide by the rules:)
I sometimes “Want to break free” and get away from this man made shackles we call jobs. I need to follow whatever path that will bring me closer to my purpose and the life of leisure.
Rock music makes life like a “kinda magic”
Freddie Mercury was not only a vocalist, a lead singer but he was a musical genius a performer and an entertainer. He dressed up, showed up for his audience and dazzled! He gave it his best. He lived his life to the fullest and left a legacy. We still buy his music. “No one but you” One by one, only the good die young... Life goes on without you. new.music.yahoo.com/queen/
