where the FUCK is my roommate

So I just found out that it was recently the anniversary of the release of the masterpiece that is A Day at the Races and so I wanted to share a rant I wrote in the middle of the night, sleep deprived listening to the album. A fair warning: I am incredibly enthusiastic and easy to rile up when I’m tired, plus spelling will probably wrong, as well as grammar. So anyways here is me making a fool of myself on the internet. Notice I get louder and louder as time progresses. 

Anyways, enjoy!

A Day at the Races is so good that my brain cannot compute.

Tie your mother down, with that gong opening and guitar solo is like the beginning of an epic movie or something.

You take my breath away? Eerily beautiful and sad. “I get ever so lonely from time to time” stood out to me so much and omg I cry 

Long Away? Is like? Such an Underrated song? I felt like I was leaving home or something and about to go away on a long journey, both excited about where I’m headed yet sad to leave behind everything. But then it’s also like I’m stuck in a place on my way somewhere longing to get where I wanna be but also go back to where I came from? I’m here, somewhere in between? Nowhere to go? How could a 3 minute 30 second song do this to me???? BRIAN HAROLD WILLAM MAY YOU ARE A GENIUS (author’s note: I don’t think that’s his real full name)

Don’t get me fricking started on Millionaire Waltz. It’s fricking beautiful when the opening has Freddie’s piano playing in one ear and John’s bass playing in the other, then they slowly merge together with the opening lyrics? And like that says a lot about their friendship?? Freddie’s bouncy and flowery and energetic piano and Deaky’s chill but complex bass riff?? Merging together in perfect harmony???? Also Freddie is at his peak here I swear. 

“Do you reMEEEEEEEmmmber?” YOURE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE 

“Coooome baaaack toooooo MEEEEEEE” YOURE DOING EVEN BETTER SWEETIE 

BRIAN LEGIT SNAPPED WHEN HE MADE THIS GUITAR SOLO ITS AMAZING!!! AND ROGERS DRUMMING CHANGES THE WHOLE TONE TOTALLY AND ARGWJQKSOSOEKEJSJ then the fricking WALTZ WITH THE MULTIPLE GUITARS AND RICH BASS AND BOUNCING PIANO KEYS AND THE CYMBAAALS the it slows down with Freddie and his voice and tHEN IT GETS THE FUCK BACK UP IM TIRED OF CENSORING MYSELF THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL TRACK THE HARMONIES ARE MY SEXUALITY I SWEAR I FEEEL LIKEEE A MILLIOOOONAAAIRE 

You and I is a BOP! John really has a way with songs that get stuck in your head for fuckING DAYS “JUST YOOOUUU AND IIII LAUGHTER RINGING IN THE DARKNESS PEOPLE DRINKING TO DAYS GOOONEE BYYYYY” im soft i want a love like this OH GOD THE FEELS

Also, “You know I could never see the futile, you know I could never see where life is leading me, but will we be toGETHER FOREEEVER?” “i don’t know” is such a MOOD. Deaky marry me I love you I wanna be your best friend. 

Then the masterpiece that is SOMEBODY TO LOVE is on next. Of COURSE it is. From one FUCKING banger to the next. Do I even need to emphasize how much I fucking love this song????? The HARMONIES, the PIANO, the BASS, GUITAR SOLO, the CYMBALS, the “SOOOOoooommBOOOOddyyy to LOOOooooOoOoVe,” the Roger SCREECH, then, THEN......

“find me somebody to LOOOVE, find me somebody to LOOOOVVEEE, find me somebody to LOOOOOVE, FIND ME SOMEBODY TO LOOOOVE, SOMEBODY SOMEBODY SOMEBODY SOMEBODY” 

“can annyYBOODDYY FIND MEEEE”

“somebody TOoooooOoooOOOO...”

“LooOOOOOOOoooOoooooVEEEEEEEE”

I fucking love this song. 

Alright here we go with White Man. I have actually never heard this song. Brian’s guitar is killing here. WOAH THE DRUM JUST JUMPING IN ON ME LIKE THAT IM SHIVERING I LEGIT GOT CHILLS OH MY THE DRUMS BANgING IN THEBACKGROUND THE GUITAR RIGHT IN MY EAR THE BASS IS TIGHT FREDDIE IS IN PRIME ROCK AND ROLL MODE HERE and boy this song got too real too fast and I am LIVING FOR IT YOURE KILLING IT BOYS THIS IS A BANGER “WHITE MAN WHITE MAN WHITE MAN WHITE MAN” SMASH THOSE CYMBALSSSSS ROGER YAS Freddie you’re voice and Brian’s guitar is just...music to my ears hehehehe lame joke. BOOM that drum ending though WOOH what a rush

YAAAAAS GOOD OLD FASHIONED LOVER BOY “I CAN SERENADE AND GENTLY PLAY ON YOUR HEARTSTRINGS BE A VALENTINO JUST FOR YOUUUUU”

“oooooh LOVE oooooh LOVER BooooOOOOY WHAT YOU DOING TONIGHT hEy BoY” 

This song is amazingggggg every single member is able to shine here. Piano, drums, guitar, bass, and all those extra quirks make this song this is so underrated UGH

“Wheeeeeeen I’m nooottt WiiThhhh YOooUuuu THINK OF ME ALWAYS love youuu LOVE YOUuuuuuu”

BEST SONG EVER UGH WHAT AN UNDERRATED BOP 

Drowse. What. A. Song. Roger has never sounded better in my opinion. I can totally get lost in his voice and the instrumentals in the back. Wow. I just feel so at peace

“It’s a fantastic drowse of the afternoooooon suuuuundays” awww yes life makes sense now

“IT AINT EASY FOR A SMALL TIME BOY IT AINT EASY AT ALL” awww Rog my baby

“THINKING IT RIGHT, DOING IT WRONG” roG ME TOO ME TOO I WANNA GIVE YOU A HUG

I think this is one of my favorite songs. With the quiet chatter as the song fades.....what a chaotic yet serene song I just cannot Roger Taylor you are so much more than a car fucker I’m sorry if I ever doubted you THE WORLD IS BLESSED TO HAVE YOU

Awww the final song. What is this? Teo Torriate? This keyboard is sick! 

Oooh my god Freddie!!! “When I’m goooone no need to wonder if I ever think of yoooooouuu” I ALWAYS THINK OF YOU FREDDIE 

Wow this song is —

I had to stop for a while and really listen to the song as a whole. This song is amazing, especially with the references Freddie makes about how when he’s gone, not to forget him and the lessons we have learned. The final part where it seems like a whole crowd is singing along is like for me as if the whole world is singing along and continuing the legacy of Queen. Plus I’m listening to this at midnight dead tired and hearing Freddie say “Close your pretty eyes and be with me” or something along those lines was an almost spiritual experience.This is such a powerful song it’s like Freddie’s singing about not being sad that he is gone and instead celebrate what we’ve gone through together. “Let the candle always burn, let us never loose the lessons we have learned.” I’m not crying my eyes are just sweating. 

Wow. I’m done. I’ve listened to the whole of A Day at the Races. Wow. I just can’t believe how this album isn’t as well known as some of their others. There’s a track for literally everybody, and a lot of these songs have such deep and meaningful lyrics and melodies. I have just reached another level of peace and enlightenment after this album. Queen, you make living life so much better. If this isn’t Queen at their best then I don’t know if I can handle them at their best.

So here’s the end of my sleep deprived rant. I’m sorry if it’s so long, I guess I’m just really passionate at 1 am. If you guys want me to pull another allnighter, let me know what album I should do next. Thanks guys!

I sounded so high and drunk at the same time. Gawd. High on Queen I guess.
