What are you listening to?

Sometimes we hear songs that sound better in another performer's version, sometimes there are different reasons that completely change the context of the original song.

In this case I couldn't resist with this surreal version of Quenn's song. "I want to be free" presented to Kim Jong Un and his military apparatus
"I Want To Break Free" is a single by British rock band, released on April 22, 1984. The song was written by bassist John Deacon. The song was released on the album "The Works".

'I Want to Break Free' (Queen) - Moranbong Band and The North Korean Military Chorus.​

Enjoyed this thanks, always liked the military band style renditions with trumpets and stuff. Also found it very funny too for some reason, (to explain the laugh emoji i put). And him on the video at the end especially, hair blowing in the wind LOL 🙂.. And surreal definitely.
 

The man steps out in the moonlight
At the sound of a scream from below.
He thinks he is a warrior
So he picks up his sword and goes.
From the mouth of the monster
He rescues the maiden fair.
But we know she's a demon
Come to lure him to demon's lair.
Through restless foliage and tall trees he leads
To a house in a clearing, a place in her fear she calls home.
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."
And though his body bids him
To enter in with her
There was something in her manner
That his mind could not ignore.
Also it is whispered
In the kingdom far and wide
To beware a little cottage
In the forest in a glade.
For who knows what magic takes place in his world?
So he just thanks her kindly preparing to go on his way.
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like.
Come to my garden
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
You can't resist me
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."
"So glad you could make it
We had everything arranged.
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."
Some men never listen
And others never learn
But why this man did as he did
Only he will ever know.
He knew he was walking
Into a waiting trap
Neatly set up for him
With a bait so richly wrapped.
So he went inside there to take on what he found
But he never escaped them, for who can escape what he desires?
"Come with me, I need you
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."

Right, three last Who tracks then I'll not overdo it. I just cannot understand how good they are, I loved them as a young guy but they fell off my radar. It's 4 virtuosos in one band, incredible. I've bought 4 of their records in the last 24 hours. I hope their music brings you some joy, and most critically some cutting edge. Powerful band with something to say.



 
A dynamic mini set from Miles Davis and his super sharp band. I first listened to this kind of jazz rock back in the late 90s, but it's only in recent years that I can truly appreciate it. The people watching this at the music festival were very lucky indeed.
