Who wants to live forever?

One of my fave rock bands is Queen. They were among the greatest at what they do during their heyday.

While listenin to their classic Bohemian Rhapsody, i was reminded again what made the band stand out. Their frontman Freddie Mercury who passed away from Aids. He was somewhat special, with his amazing vocals rocked everyone whenever Queen performed. Yet was not held back by his sexuality. During his last days, he held strong and performed to his hardest. Queen did a few songs for movies like "Iron Eagle" and "highlander" movies. And one song " who wants to live forever" from the highlander movie jus struck me so deeply.


Christopher Lambert as Connor Macleod in Highlander

The words:

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that fills our dreams, yet slips away from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever . . . . . ?
Oh ooo oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo ooh yeah ooh yeah
Who wants to live forever oh oo woah yeah
When love must die

So touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can have forever
Forever is our today

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway ?

Great song from a great band. To think that Freddie sang this when he was goin to die. For all out there whom never listen to Queen, try out this track. Its on the player on my blog.
