Hi, this is Kelvin.

Today I have to fix my system and I wanna write something without Pinying input methods so I am reluctant but have to choose Chinglish help me to do that instead. Since I actually have no audience of this blog, there's no need to explain the change.

Okay, you can say I am crazy to assume that there's somebody looking at me everyday, you can say that because that's what in everyone's mind everyday. People care whether being cared but they never cherish those who care them. 

Never mind. Kelvin Ho is just a mad guy... 

Just mentioned Queen as a legendary band in last article, and several versions of the song 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. In the biography of the band I found another song that tells stories. That's 'too much love will kill you'.

The vocal Freddie Murcurry died from AIDS in 1991 at the age of 45 and the band fell apart. The last album of Queen with Freddie Innuendo was released that year. And 4 years later Brian May collected last songs of Queen to release the last album called Made in heaven to commemorate freddie. Brian was the vocal in this album. (my point is always like guitarist is always a guitarist, when he has to sing in a song, neither his voice nor his appearence matters to the performance, but his passion. Haha! I dont mean to humiliate anyone, actually i love Brian May as a guitarist! I am just mentioning myself never being a vocal!)

Okay, my favorite song is this album is too much love will kill you and the point is the lyrics attract me at every word. Is it telling the story of Freddie? If the answer is Yes people would add an "making" into the name of the song (change it to Making too much love will kill you...) , Okey I dont mean to humiliate anyone and I just wrote down my fantasy! 

Shit! Fantasy? Fantastic shit!

I love this song because it's telling my own stories. Things that happened this few months. I am moved by every word in this song and the melody is killing me in my heart. 

which words?

Like

 Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs

 also 

 I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down, ooohh
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose

It will drain the power thats in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You are the victim of your crime
 

and

Yeah, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why 

 IF the song was trying to convey the life of Freddie and at this time I feel the same.

Am I going to die any way?

I feel my body and spirits drying recently. Not the feeling of frustration or pessimism that my lover hated that caused me to feel this. Always I think, spirit collapse comes before physically rotting. But one can never avoid downward trend of his destiny. NONONO, i am not pessimistic and I am clear in my mind 'cos I just get up from bed. I am just feeling that way and indulging myself in.

The question left is, am I going to die? Who can tell me about this?

Brian May: Too much love will kill you. 

Lyrics: 

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are rainin' down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long, ohoo
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growin' up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been lookin' back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down, ooohh
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
Oh there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm about to lose
Oho oh!

Yeah, too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Yeah, too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end...
 

Queen version

 faye version

 High school version

今晚开始重新迷恋的bohemian rhapsody，从第一次听到这首歌的solo，我就开始对brian may刮目相看（他妈的这个词好像是出自三国志的，现代用太tm恶心了） ，并且重复听了n次背了n次歌词。

今天好像无边的痛苦因为我重新装好吉他弦而得以暂时缓解，重新听歌，首先想到这首queen的名曲。

上youku（山寨版youtube）一看，除了mtv版本、Mercury长发concert版、短发concert版，令我惊奇的还有王菲版本，如上图所示。。。

上面zz了三个版本，分别是mercury短发concert版、faye wong版、与high school合唱版。

都不是十分让人兴奋的版本，mercury版唱得太激，个人更加喜欢长发时候的mtv版本，足本10分钟，中间歌剧那段实在很诡异很爽，不过唱live是比较容易激动，还记得Elton John与 axl rose版，他们在那场纪念mercury的演出上面合唱这首，在sir John抒情完之后，axl极速从后台冲出来（穿着一条苏格兰格仔裙），然后开始持麦架打转，太tm性感了我diao，虽然两人水沟油，大揽都扯唔埋合唱亦相当不和谐，但axl哥的表现足够让人回味。

至于王菲，未听过queen原唱可能会对她这个版本很感冒，其实so so，她根本唱不来这首歌，无论是力度或者情感上都不合格，我好失望。。。柔弱的声线唱出mama, (I) just killed a man, put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead, 实在不好，sorry，阿菲；她应该学习最后high school version里面的中学生们，为了表演的干净性去掉上面这句，从my time has come, sends shivers down my spine, bodys aching all the time唱起，那还比较符合她的忧郁气质。。。

痛苦时候听听bohemian Rhapsody，想起daisy的Bourgeois Bohemian一说，有空再深究，睡觉，纾解郁闷去。
