最近在聽『The Very Best of Freddie Mercury Solo』這張。
博客來這張CD的簡介文案寫得很好:

『每一支經典的搖滾樂團都有其吸引人的精神與靈魂,在Queen這個經典搖滾樂團中,Freddie Mercury就是扮演著這樣子的角色的人物,他那極具戲劇性的情感唱腔,他那熱情、外放的唱作神采,征服了每一顆愛聽搖滾樂的靈魂,在他不算太長的搖滾人生中,他燃燒自己,照亮搖滾樂,讓搖滾樂發光、發熱,成就了搖滾音樂史上難以複製的聲音傳奇............』

目前我還在聽第一首In My Defence,過不去,卡關了嘛。

Freddie Mercury - In My Defence

這首In MY Defence的詞曲並非出自Freddie之手,前奏下來也沒有出色之處,甚至還有點乏味。

但Freddie畢竟是Freddie,他的歌聲可以勝過一切。幾秒後、來到I'm just a singer with a song.....我便開始熱淚盈眶。我不知道、至少我沒聽過、其他人的聲音能讓我感受到這種充滿了力、且帶著易碎的敏感脆弱、還層疊著更多複雜思緒的自毀式熱情。

一位YoutuBe的網友曾如此留言:『Freddie,Come back!!』
這也是我想要說的話。

In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream

Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die

Oh help me God
Please help me
