I got so overjoyed last night while listening to the radio because for a split second I thought I heard Freddie Mercury. It was a short moment of joy once I realized I was listening to Fun. "Some Nights". Nate Ruess is about the closest thing I have heard to Freddie in a long time. Is he Freddie Mercury, absolutely not, but I can hear Freddie in his voice. Its one of those simple reminders that even though he his gone his influence still runs rampant through the music industry.
I have known about Queen for quite some time but I was always fascinated by Freddie. He just had this presence on stage that no one on this earth could emulate. He was quite the showman but had such a superior voice. He had one of those voices that made you stop and listen. It demanded your attention from the first note to the last. Of course he killed it on all of the power anthems, but what I loved most about his voice was his ability to go from powerful anthem to a beautiful ballad so effortlessly.
I know most of you are thinking, why am I going gaga over this artist/band who was gaining popularity when I wasn't even alive. I am just wanting to allow people to understand that music is timeless especially someone as remarkable as Freddie Mercury and Queen. Their influence is everywhere. Even if artists now a days dont realize it.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I really do wished Freddie were still alive today...who knows how amazing music would be...
