"I'm in love with my car" really spoke to me, but I don't meet a lot of cars in my line of work. What type of cars do you think are the best to date? And how do you approach/talk to them?
As you know, John has stepped out of the public eye after Freddie’s death and I feel like this sub and the main sub (r/queen) should respect his privacy because no one wants to be a creep invading on his private life (I’m looking at you paparazzi)
Queen really were ahead of their time...
How many times do we have to say don’t combine rap and rock
With all due respect, are you tone deaf, darling?
Sure, Freddie didn't sing it, but “Drowse” is Roger Taylor's best song and among the most beautiful songs Queen has performed. It is the only Queen song that has made me cry (along with "White Queen (As It Began)" but that's irrelevant). As a matter of fact, "Drowse" is the most evocative song I've heard. Claiming "Drowse" is subpar to other Queen songs because it was written by Roger Taylor doesn't make you "cool". In fact, you are a repulsive Roger-phobic! You should be thankful - thankful that Roger has composed this beauty.
Be it the genius arrangements (I can listen to the instrumental alone on loop without boring out), poignant / introspective lyrics ("There's all the more reasons for living and dying when you're young and your troubles are all very small"), and more impressively, the seamless octave-low jump between chorus and bridge that brings out the best in two worlds, “Drowse” is a beautiful testament to his skills. Not to mention, Roger mentions our favourite grandpa, Brian May, as an inspiration at the end! Bittersweet.
If you think "Drowse" is boring or dreary, you have clearly not experienced any genuine pain or woe. Alas, some day, one day when you're sick and tired, and you're all on your own, turn on this gem and let all your bottled-up emotions pour out. You're guaranteed to convert to the other side. Guaranteed.
Roger, I repeat, does not receive enough credit as a vocalist, or a composer for that matter. I will not tolerate disrespect towards "Drowse" in any public setting, or private setting either. Alas, if you dislike "Drowse", you are not welcome here.
