John Garcia's video: Queen: The Show Must Go On With Lyrics

@Queen: The Show Must Go On (With Lyrics)
The Show Must Go On es una canción realizada por la banda de Rock británica Queen dentro de su álbum Innuendo lanzado en 1991. Aunque está firmada por el grupo, se cree que fue escrita por Brian May para Freddie Mercury quien se encontraba en sus últimos días debido a que padecía la enfermedad del SIDA. En la canción se habla sobre un inminente final pero que, como dice el título, el espectáculo debe continuar, preparando a los fans para lo que estaba por venir. La canción creó especulaciones entre la prensa sobre si verdaderamente Freddie tenia SIDA, sospecha que se tenía desde finales de los 80. La canción es considerada por muchos como una de las más emotivas y poderosas de Queen. The Show Must Go On fue lanzada como sencillo el 14 de octubre de 1991 en el Reino Unido, 6 semanas antes de la muerte de Freddie. La elección de la cara B resultó un misterio para la época, que dio pie a muchos análisis y especulaciones por parte de los fans, que aún no se han podido confirmar o desmentir. El tema de Brian May Keep Yourself Alive (Mantente vivo), del elepé de debut de 1973, había sido el primer sencillo de Queen, por lo que emparejarlo con The Show Must Go On pudo deberse a que el grupo sabía que sería el último sencillo con Freddie. Aunque totalmente plausible, nunca se ha confirmado. Independientemente a las especulaciones, en efecto, el último sencillo editado con Freddie aún vivo estuvo acompañado de su primer sencillo en la cara opuesta. La fusión de las dos canciones encajaba a la perfección y alcanzó el puesto 16 en las listas del Reino Unido. Después de su fallecimiento, el sencillo volvió a ingresar en los charts británicos alcanzando el puesto . En Estados Unidos, la canción llegó al puesto . Durante el Concierto en Tributo a Freddie Mercury la canción fue interpretada por Elton John, apareciendo en el recopilatorio Greatest Hits III. La canción aparece y forma parte de la banda sonora de la película Moulin Rouge! "The Show Must Go On" is a song by English rock band Queen, featured as the twelfth and final track on their 1991 album Innuendo. It is credited to Queen. The song chronicles the effort of Freddie Mercury continuing to perform despite approaching the end of his life.[1] The title is derived from the phrase "the show must go on", and may be in reaction to the numerous press speculations about lead singer Mercury's critically declining health since the late 1980s. Much of the lyrics and imagery of the song can also be construed to be a reflection on life and imminent death. It is regarded as one of Queen's most emotive, powerful songs by many fans. It was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 14 October 1991 in promotion for the Greatest Hits II album, just six weeks before Mercury died. Following Mercury's death in November 1991, the song re-entered the British charts and spent longer in the top 75 than it did on its original release, eventually reaching a peak of 16. A live version with Elton John on vocals appeared on Queen's Greatest Hits III album. The song was chosen as the favourite funeral song in a survey conducted in Europe. After listening to John Deacon and Roger Taylor playing the chord sequence that later on would be the basis for almost the entire song, Brian May sat down with Freddie Mercury and the two of them decided the theme of the song and wrote some lyrics. May wrote down the rest of the words as well as the melody, and put a bridge with chord sequence inspired by Pachelbel's Canon. Demo versions featured May singing, having to sing some parts in falsetto because they were too high. When Brian May presented the final demo to Mercury, he had doubts that Mercury would be physically capable of singing the song's highly demanding vocal line, due to the extent of his illness at the time. To May's surprise, when the time came to record the vocals, Mercury consumed a measure of vodka and said "I'll fucking do it darling!" then proceeded to nail the vocal line in one take without problems. To this day, Brian May regards this vocal performance as one of Mercury's best. For the record, May sang most of the backing vocals (including the very last line) and played Yamaha DX7 synthesiser as well as guitar. Producer David Richards suggested the key-shift in the third verse.
