Queen: Lyrics: Research

Queen : You Take My Breath Away :

Oooh oooh take it take it all away

Oooh ooh take my breath away
Oooh ooh yoooo take my breath away

Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only one
You've captured my love stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Ev'ry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go

Don't leave me here all by myself

I get ever so lonely from time to time

I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep TILL I find you
To tell you that you just take my breath away

I will find you anywhere you go

Right until the ends of the earth

I'll get no sleep until I find you

To tell you when I've found you

I love you

Take my breath take my breath ... away

This song could emphasise the true romance and relationship between the two main characters of my Radio play. The fact that the lyrics of this Queen song emphasise a true love for someone who you can't leave is the same situation Billy and Helena have. The 4th verse in the song where it says 'don't leave me here all by myself. I get so lonely from time to time, I will find you anywhere you go. I'll be right behind you' also could reflect when Helena pleads Billy to stay in the camp and he replies back that he will never leave her and that he will always keep her safe.

Queen: The Miracle

Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all

It's a miracle

All God's creations great and small

The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal

That's a miracle

Test tube babies being born

Mothers,fathers dead and gone

It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth

Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Abel

Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel

It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle

The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end
to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for todayIf every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a
miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to
eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracleWe're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle

(wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle

The one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all
waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end
to war)
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today

That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be
friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be
friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be
friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be
friends

This song could reflect the audinces p.o.v and interpretation on how even though even though this couple in this story are so madly in love they need a Miracle to get through the war and make their families stop being enemies.

Queen : Too Much Love Will Kill You

 

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...

This song can easily relate to Billy in my radio play because it shows how love can make you suffer and that in the end it can be too powerful and too full of hope for a human being. It also shows what Billy is reduced to at the end of the play- how he pleads to his father and killed because he loved a Jew.

It could also reflect the life after Billy is killed and what Helena is thinking after he is gone. Plus, it could show Billys narration on how he looks on the past and how even though he loved Helena his life has ended.
