Bohemian Rhapsody.

Goldfinch60



Where does the time go?

Forty five years since that day,

That day when Bohemian Rhapsody

Came into my life,

Forty five years ago today

When it began its creation,

A song that stands out,

Stands out from so many.

I have heard it so many times,

Seen it sang so many times,

Sang it myself,

But still that song is special,

So special.

It will sail into music’s history

And be heard forever,

And when I pass

I will still hear it

As it sails through the ether,

Sails through the ether with me.

Where does the time go.

        I should have stayed in Bohemia in 1066. Would have saved me mucking everything up!

        Once heard, neva forgot ...

        I remember well the very first time I eva heard it too ....

        I also ask the very same question .. and frequently ....

          So do I, I had just been promoted in my job and had to move from Kent to Portsmouth, I was staying in a hotel while house buying sorted. I got to know the staff very well and me and the Assistant Manager were skateboarding along a corridor when this was play - as you do.
          The choir that Iam in have sang this song and it is not easy, once we cracked it the feedback from the audiences was amazing.

          life wouldn't be so precious if it weren't so damn elusive...
          I say keep your preciousness -nature and give us a pause button feature
          and we, will reverse global warming: out of the goodness of our hearts... Deal?!
          a poignant question Andy, that everyone can relate to

          Scarramooche scarramouche can you do the fandango? I dunno why but i always sing the word fandango with a south wales accent... strange but true.
          Time goes down the plug hole every time u pull the plug. So stop washing and stay young.

            Strange isn't it - Bohemian Rhapsody does nothing for me - good write though.

            • Goldfinch60

              Michael, if we all liked the same thing life would be very boring.

              Unsub,

              That surprised me but see my comment to Michael.

              Who are The Pet Shop Boys?

              Well you asked for it , words about SS eh?

              Andy

              • Goldfinch60

                I can understand about SS yes they do have an awesome singer and lyric writer, their music is so wonderful I could listen to it forever, such good works and such wonderful sounds come my way when listening to them.

                greatest song ever written.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Well a very good song that will always be there but there are so many which fall into the category greatest ever,

                  Too many trips around the Sun, most of my favorites have melted into obscurity. Songs from 55-60 or so. But then Music marches on, new songs arise and are favored, and then forgotten. It's a constant cycle. Loved your poem. - Phil A.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thanks Phil, yes music is like life it changes with time but some are outstanding.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Yes Wow! Where has time come was in my thoughts when I heard it said yesterday that it was 45 years old.

                        Thank you Angela, it certainly did change music in its day, so did many bands in the seventies.
