What is your favourite song in the whole world?

One of the questions on many peoples minds as they go through life is what is their favourite song of all time? Which song effects them most deeply, which song can stand the test of time and always remain in our hearts?

Out of all the music I listen to and (un)fortunatley I listen to just about everything; Britney, N'sync, DJ Shadow, Fort minor, Unkle...etc I have never been effected as deeply as when I listen to "Show must go on" by Queen.

How Freddie had the strength and passion to sing this song with only months before his death is a testament to how powerful this song is...I have to admit the song brings a tear to my eye everytime I hear it.

The feeling of the song seems to be mirthlessly laughing at the inevitable, we are all going to die sometime but all we can do it smile..."fighting the long defeat"...

Though I am sure everyones opinion on this is different I hope you to have listened to this song carefully or are going to in the near future. I hope you can hear the most powerful voice the music world has ever heard...it was all about passion!

Respect to Queen and F.M. Rest in Peace brother!



Show must go on. By Queen, Lyrics by Brian May


Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess i'm learning
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The show must go on!
The show must go on! Yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking!
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The show must go on! Yeah!
The show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The show must go on.

That is very beautiful. I will pray his family and friends. For strength and hope.

My favorite song is 'Amazing Grace.' It tells my life. It cheers me and makes me cry. It helps me remember, and reminds why. Why I have changed, why I rejoice, why I care. Yes, it is my favorite. Have a good day.
