In Rain Or Shine, You've Stood By Me, Girl
Re-posting and again dedicating to a certain someone here!
A Night at the Opera by that perennial pinnacle of pure awesomeness, Queen, is perhaps my favourite album of all time--it is at very least in my top five. From the exuberantly amazing British-music-hall romp of "Seaside Rendezvous" to the breathtaking and cathartic "Bohemian Rhapsody"; from the scathing "Death on Two Legs" to the the ethereal folk/skiffle of "'39," the album is exemplary, shifting mood and genre with every track yet remaining fluid and beautiful. Even the ostensible filler, like "Good Company," is still wonderful. It showcases a truly unique and truly talented back at very top form. From the opening rolling piano crescendo to the final majestic cymbal crashes, the album is absolutely beautiful--but perhaps even more than that, I think its greatest strength may be what is also one of Queen's greatest strengths: the music is so much fun.
This track, "You're My Best Friend," is undoubtedly one of the simplest but sweetest love songs of the twentieth century. Written by bassist John Deacon for his wife and sung with passion by the ever-divine voice of Freddie Mercury, the song is an exuberant reflection of affection and friendship for a dear love.
It is awesome and adorable and I love it. And I dedicate this entry to a certain beautiful girl who also happens to be a member here. ^^
Ooo, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you; you're all I see
Ooo, you make me live now, honey
Ooo, you make me live
You're the best friend
That I've ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know that my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh, you're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
I've been wandering 'round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine you've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend.
You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one, and I love the things--
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
I'm happy (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Oh, You're my best friend
Ooo, you make me live
Ooo, you're my best friend.
