Sting (Fields of Gold)

i remember asking my brother, who was the family musician, about a cassette tape entitled queen innuendo. i was intrigued because the tape cover featured a clown juggling some balls over a white background (i was just 10 or 11!)

he told me the history of the band, that this was the last album featuring freddy mercury who later died from AIDS.

while "the show must go on" was playing, i was lying on the floor, eyes closed, and just...FEELING the song. i must've played the whole album twice, sometimes screaming along with freddy mercury hehe

this was the most powerful and emotionally-charged album i've ever heard.

show must go on...



innuendo...

you can be anything you want to be
just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be
be free with your tempo
be free, be free
surrender your ego
be free, be free
to yourself
