Radio Paradise (mobile)

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
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, oooooooooo
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, ooooooooooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna 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
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo figaro
Magnifico (oh, oh, oh, oh!)
I'm just a poor boy, 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, never, never, never let me go!)
Will not let you go - let me go, oh, oh, oh, oh -
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 out of here
Ooo, ooo yeah
Ooo yeah
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me,
Any way the wind blows...

I'm a Queen fan from way back, and by way back, we're talking mid-70s, when they started. Been to many, many shows, listened to thousands of hours of Queen music though headphones (Leave It In The Lap Of The Gods was particularly annoying to my mother-headphone drowned out her yelling at me about it), but despite the brilliance of this song and the ground it broke at the time it was made, released, and played endlessly on the radio (which in itself was a huge achievement for a medium that would only allow a 3-minute song), it's time to go deeper into the album, and into the band's past, to find more equally brilliant music. Music that hasn't been played to absolute death. '39 would be a good example of that, but I challenge Bill and Rebecca to look even deeper, into the genius of Queen II and songs like March Of The Black Queen, Fairy Feller's Master Stroke, and Funny How Love Is. Still, I think it's a huge compliment that this song is followed in the playlist with Mozart. [ Reply ]

Personally I think Steve Perry ruined a great band. Gregg Rolie has a very mellow voice. I believe Rolie, and someone correct me if I'm wrong ( I know you will), was the vocal talent on the first three Santana albums. However, I don't find Freddie Mercury in the same class of screechy vocals as Geddy Lee or Steve Perry. Mercury had the best rock vocals of all time...hands down. [ Reply ]
Mojo_LA Apr 05, 2013 - 22:29	I love this song, but I'm equally grateful that I DON'T hear it on Radio Paradise every week! (Not like say Elbow's "Mirror Ball" which is fine, just tired now!) [ Reply ]

I hear you about overplay... but I hadn't listened to it in a long time, was caught off guard in good listening conditions, and it was a blast Now, I wouldn't mind hearing '39 at all myself [ Reply ]
coloradojohn Jan 01, 2013 - 18:55	A friend and I came to tears when this came on during a stoner drive up into the foothills from Boulder, right after I had these new speakers installed in the rear deck of my old '61 Impala...must have been maybe '83, and we were on the Peak to Peak Highway near a sky-blue-shining lake under a gleaming white glacier...the vibrations from the cavernous trunk, the soaring highs bouncing off the glass, the massive power-amp I had hooked up to my new auto-reverse cassette player — not to mention, Freddy's voice and the music of his bandmates — made me pull it over so we could sit and let this mad mod-rock symphony crush us into the next life like a giant freaking tidal wave... FANTASTIC! [ Reply ]

creekgirl Dec 01, 2012 - 10:11	OH NO! You know how sometimes you get a song stuck in your head and it WILL NOT LEAVE but becomes a default setting and you can even hate the song, doesn't matter. It. Keeps. Coming. Back. I will grant that Freddie Mercury had amazing pipes and this is a work of some genius, just as I can admit Gilbert & Sullivan were geniuses, but this is still MUSICAL TORTURE! Arrrggghhhhhhhh.......... [ Reply ]
