I want to break free (QUEEN)

To make a start I want to tell you that I love music so I found it quite hard to pick a song to write about it here. I always listen to different songs and I do not have a particular type of music. I always mix styles and have many artists in my play lists. I enjoy listening to music and I do it every time I can. I listen to music when I clean my house, while working and even before I go to sleep. So music is a big company for me and it has become my biggest company since this period of isolation. It is very hard to live alone during this time so music really calms me down and helps me to get over this. But well, getting to the point, I have chosen a song. It is a song from QUEEN. In my opinion this group was the best and it still is. Nowadays I find more and more people who listen to their songs. I like almost every song of theirs but there is one in specific that I have always been fond of. And it is “I want to break free”.

This song has always caught my attention since I was a child. It´s through this song that I got to know the group and the songs they were releasing. I have always liked the style they used to have and the lyrics of their songs. But this one in particular had something that many years later I was able to discover. 

During my adolescence I started to discover several things that helped me to get my identity, helped me to understand who I was and who I wanted to be. And this particular song taught me to value myself, to believe in myself, and to be free of thought and expression. Perhaps it is something that people nowadays take as natural, but a few years ago it was not. Even something as small as being able to dress as you want, back then was an outrage. I shared many moments with this song and Queen taught me many things in general. 

This song helped me to become a better person and accept the others as they are and not just because they were there with me or we shared some stuff. It is a song that allows you to be who you are and deeper than that to be free.

Lyrics:

I want to break free

I want to break free

I want to break free from your lies

You're so self satisfied I don't need you

I've got to break free

God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love

I've fallen in love for the first time

And this time I know it's for real

I've fallen in love, yeah

God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true

I can't get over the way you love me like you do

But I have to be sure

When I walk out that door

Oh how I want to be free, baby

Oh how I want to be free

Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on

I can't get used to, living without, living without

Living without you by my side

I don't want to live alone, hey

God knows, got to make it on my own

So baby can't you see

I've got to break free

I've got to break free

I want to break free, yeah

I want, I want, I want, I want to break

Free
