Queen songs that can cheer you up...
| Saif 19.02.2007 12:41 |
I was wondering what Queen songs you guys would recommend listening to when one is down or depressed. I mean nothing of the hard rock type, something that will soothe your mind. The one that instantly springs to mind is "Spread Your Wings", "You're My Best Friend" and "Friends Will Be Friends". Any more? |

Oddly enough, one time I was practically hysterical, listening to "Bohemian Rhapsody" calmed me down. : / Interesting, I'm sure. |

Queen songs: Good Company, Stone Cold Crazy, Don't Stop Me Now, Was It All Worth It and my favourite, '39. Solo songs: Is It Me, Nation Of Haircuts ... all the 'Electric Fire' album! And some others like China Belle, Love Token, Let Your Heart, Nazis, Golden Boy, I Was Born, Driven By You, Resurrection, etc. |
| sparrow 21754 19.02.2007 15:42 |
just about any john deacon song. |

"You And I" always takes me away to that special place. It has such a beautiful meaning, it's so innocent yet so pure. "Music is playing in the darkness and a lantern goes swinging by...Shadows flickering, my heart's jittering...just you and I" Yet another one of those special songs that I hold close to my heart is "Dear Friends." When I first heard this song I immediatly softened up and lost control of my emotions. It's the song I'll often use to sooth my soul after having lost a love. "So dear friends your love has gone, only tears to dwell upon...I dare not say as the wind must blow...so a love is lost, a love is won...go to sleep and dream again, soon your hopes will rise and then from all this gloom life can start anew and there'll be no crying soon." "My Melancholy Blues" is probably one of Freddie's most gentle songs. It's the kind of song that you can just kick back and relax and take a load off of your shoulders. Need I say more? I think you've got the idea. |

Really, there are too many to name. But included would be Don't Try Suicide, Seaside Rendezvous, Spread Your Wings, amd (oddly enough) Long Away. The linge "Take heart, my friend, we love you/though it seems like your alone..." Has always been great at making me feel that there was someone who can help. And that thought cheers me so. Oh, and I agree with the person who said, "Any John Deacon song." So true. DoBSTeR |
| Josh Henson 19.02.2007 18:06 |
Leaving out the heavy songs.... Bring Back That Leroy Brown '39 Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon You and I The Millionaire Waltz Sleeping on the Sidewalk My Melancholy Blues (good one to sing to) Don't Stop Me Now Calling All Girls Staying Power (on Fire At The Bowl) Play The Game All God's People These are all songs I usually sing to in my high falsetto. Usually leaves my throat hurting & feeling good inside. |

Weirdly enough... Some Day one day and white queen cheers me up a bit :) |
| Journeyfan05 19.02.2007 20:56 |
I Want To Break Free: No matter what is going on, this song always makes me smirk a little bit. Freddie just seems so happy and alive when he sings it. It's a song about a person so fed up with crap that he/she just has to break free and get away from it all. It's perfect for a car ride with the windows down and is also a good beat to walk to. I absolutely love this song and it is the reason I fell in love with Queen. John Deacon wrote one helluva song. Keep Yourself Alive: It makes me want to rock out and give the finger to anyone or anything getting in the way of me living my life. Excellent rocker I Was Born to Love You: This is the one of the last Queen related songs I was ever introduced to and it remains a favorite. It doesn't get any radio play and probably will never be featured in a commercial or movie soundtrack but the feelings convey are so honest and are shared with nothing held back. Its another one that forces me to smile whenver I hear it. It also makes me want to get up and dance around wherever I am. I'll always have a special place for this one. most of my others have already been discussed so I wont waste your time. But something else that always cheers me up is the video on youtube that comes up when you search "In My Defence" (i dont like posting links) So check it out for yourself. It is an excellent fan tribute set to the Freddie song. It makes me think of what an extraordinary person Freddie was and how he lived his life with so much passion. Not only does it cheer me up but sometimes I feel like I want to cry but not out of sadness, just because I miss Freddie and the way he inspired me and many others. wonderful Band. We all can agree |

Well, there're some Queen songs that, when I'm feeling down, make me cry, but cheer me up at the same time, you know what I mean? These Are The Days of Our Lives, Save Me, We Are The Champions (I know it's strange!) White Queen (As It Began) It's a Hard Life Old Friends (by Roger Taylor) There Must Be More To Life Than This. And some of them just make me smile. Funny how Love Is Crazy Little Thing Called Love Mr Bad Guy Delilah Seaside Rendezvous Killer Queen Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke I Want To Break Free And Friends Will Be Friends always brings a smile to my face. By the way, I know the list was long, but Queen songs do that to me ;-) |

if you're mad at someone: Death on Two Legs. if you're heartbroken: Save Me, or Too Much Love Will Kill You. if you just need an energy boost: Breakthru or Headlong or Hammer to Fall. |

But with the nose of Wacko seeing :-p i guess he also sniffles some coke...... Cheers O Yeah, my songs: Innuendo, Gimme The Prize (Kurgan's Theme), Was It All Woth It... |

You're My Best Friend Don't Stop Me Now Also I like the way Freddie sings 'A Winter's Tale' because it sounds so appreciative of life! |
| Another queen fanatic 23.02.2007 14:35 |
The entire back to the light album (brian May solo) always cheers me up, I doubt even Brian himself realises the emotional power of his own album. Tie your mother down is a good one too (but then my parents are the ones who tend to put me in a bad mood, a case of I wish my mother was tied down!) No one but you (only the good die young) can be quite moving, its a shame so people forget about that song. |
| Nevermind 23.02.2007 14:49 |
I know this is a strange one but Under Pressure really chears me up, soon as Deaky's bass line comes in I'm really happy. Another strange thing I found that when ever I was ill even with a really bad headache listening to Queen made me feel better. I find that one strange. |
| +daydreamer+ 04.04.2007 21:26 |
Well, one thing I know is, DON'T listen to "Who Wants to Live Forever" if you're already sad. I barely ever listen to it, because it makes me so depressed. hah.. Anyway, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" usually cheers me up. =] |
| Vincent. 04.04.2007 21:29 |
umm...usually Bohemian Rhapsody always puts me in a good mood, or a happy song like You and I orrrr You're My Best Friend. Bicycle Race always makes me smile, too. :) |

Some Roger Taylor penned Queen songs cheer me up. I like the cheesy sound of them and the fun lyrics. Roger writes like he just wants to have as much fun as possible. -Coming soon is by far the best example of it. It really gets me in the mood to party every time I hear it. -I'm in love with my car is another great example. -touch the sky is also a great tune. |
| queen4eva224 08.04.2007 22:29 |
Don't Try So Hard can really make me feel better. and My Melancholy Blues and Dear Friends and Nevermore and Who Needs You and Bring Back that Leroy Brown and Hang on in There and Keep Passing the Open Windows and basically all queen songs out there like freddie said: Queen should be an escape. yup. |

keep passing the open windows got me through a very bad time last year,however just for a quick pick me up anything with a driving beat and bassline gets me feeling good,so things like ... you dont fool me coming soon tie your mother down breakthru dont stop me now staying power in fact i sometimes believe that dont stop me now is to Queen fans what i will survive is to recently dumped women if karaoke is anything to go by |

No question: You're My Best Friend. In my opinion, one of the best songs ever written. Those soaring melodies, combined with the simple lyrics. Love it. I hear it now, and, it can still move me to tears, just from the absolute beauty of it. |

I enjoy listening to Nevermore and March of the Black Queen. Not that Nevermore is very uplifting, but both songs are just so beautiful and well constructed that I end up focusing more on the core of the song and the harmonies than my own problems. |

"I was born to love you" "39" "The Millionarie Waltz" "Somebody to love" "Good Old fashioned lover boy" "Delilah" "Don't stop me now" "Princes of the Universe" "Gimme the Prize" "Let me live" "Made in Heaven" "I want it all" "Breakthru" "Spread your wings" "Lazing on a Sunday afternoon" "Seaside Rendezvous" "You're my best friend" These songs all find a way to make me smile. |
