HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY QUEEN II

My beloved favourite queen album 💖

8th March 1974 - 8th March 2024

Honestly it's such a shame that so few people know most of the songs on this album, so anyone reading this who hasn't listened to Queen II please go listen to it, as a birthday present of sorts to it

Ohhhhh that’s nasty!!!!! I can’t believe she experienced that 😡😡😡

The CMAs and the Grammys. Lemonade losing AOTY and the CMAs backlash did a number on her. She did her research, and it paid off and it shows

I can’t wait for the reactions of the people if Beyonce gets nominations in the country music categories for the Grammy Awards in next year

HOTD CHARACTERS AS ALBUMS:

Alicent Hightower as 30 by Adele.

Now that we are finally here, and I'm starting with my faves.

What is 30 by Adele?

It's her latest album that covers the topic of her divorce and the challenges she faces in the wake of it with the idea of motherhood impacting her decisions and thoughts around this time. Her signature ballads and intertwining of genres are apparent, but the story she invokes is that of trials and a time of change in her life.

So Alicent?

Yes. It's the album I think best fits her arc in season one and prepares for the rest. Let's go through this song by song. But also go listen to the album and think of her because at the end of the day. This is my interpretation.

30 x Alicent.

Strangers By Nature

Now, this first song is the introduction to the album. She's apologising to Lovers from the past, the present, and the ones in the dark. Taking back anything done wrong against them and saying that by the end, they were all strangers by nature to her.

If we are talking about Alicent I think that's were season 1 leaves her. So much is being uncovered about her and her character especially outside of Viserys in Episode 9 I think it's a good song within that context.

No one really knows her now, fully to her entire extent. How she loves, what she does to ensure she's kept aware of situations, what she stillnholds on to is kept guarded and compartmentalised for certain things.

Easy on Me.

This was the biggest hit off the album. It's a song about a dissolving marriage, a song dedicated to her child and childhood, and overall, it is very Alicent.

I think it applies well as a reflection of who she had been. Trying to balance her love for Rhaenyra and her duty to her father and Viserys. The betrayal and anger and disagreements she found herself in.

Say what you will but as the bridge of the song puts it,

"I had good intentions

And the highest hopes

But I know right now

It probably doesn't even show."

If that isn't her, what is?

My Little Love

Now I find Adele just extremely Alicent coded, but the reason I chose this album instead of 21 or 25, for example, is because this album was dedicated to her child.

I refuse to explain this one. Go think of these gay lovers and cry your heart out because it hurts.

But also, it's a song of her explaining everything up until her divorce to her son. Kind of reckoning with the failure she feels and how stuck and stranding it all is.

For Alicent, I think it's the same. By the end, she's reconciling her past with her future. Trying to appease her want for Aegon to be crowned with her love for Rhaenyra and to an extent Viserys. She's also around all her children in episode 9, which is interesting when thinking about the song.

Cry Your Heart Out

Hello, season 2 Alicent. I genuinely think this is the direction it is going to go in because its just tragedy after tragedy for them. Especially when we see her under water and near water so much, baby girl, cry your heart out, it'll clean your face.

Oh My God

Alicole girls. Hi.

This is entirely Criston and Alicent coded for whatever they have going on.

I'm having a hard time doing this because I want you guys to go listen to it. But basically, the song is about this guy who she's with during this time who's her place of refuge with all he conflicting narratives and lies around her.

Also religion.

Can I Get It?

Otto fans, Rhaenyra fans, Alicent fans, and fans of her children. You get to decide who this is about. It's about wanting to be someone's after everything you've done for them, everything you've been through to be at their side. Counting for someone to put you back together after everything is...

I Drink Wine

Hey alcoholism. Genuinely, this is thee Rhaenicent song of the Album. How can someone become so bounded by the choices somebody else makes? And it just goes down from there.

All Night Parking Interlude

I'm going to say Criston. I think they genuinely found a sense of home together.

Woman Like Me:

Hello episode 1 to 10 Rhaenicent. Hello, Viserys Targaryen. It's basically her saying, "How dare you?" Do you know who I am? What is expected? And slaying.

Hold On

Episode 8 Alicent Hightower, the woman you are.

To Be Loved

Season 2 Alicent. "I will choose to lose it's a sacrifice" and "you have no idea the sacrifices made to put you on that throne." That arc is going to play out so well. I'm geeked. An ode to her conversation with Rhaenys as well.

Love is a Game

The effect of Otto Hightower on women recorded by Adele.

Wild, Wild West

Now, this is such a random part of the album, but I do think it's a part of the charm. Unlike Larys Strong, who I hope burns in hell. Anyways, because big pivotal moments happen to her in different places, let's say rats what this is.

Can't be Together

Rhaenyra and Alicent, the tragedy you are. I'm so sorry I wasn't it westeros to save you from this.

Conclusion

Listen to the album Alicent folk. Listen and see if it's your pick. It's certainly mine.

Next up is her counterpart, Rhaenyra.

rating music pls dont hate me #23 | cowboy carter - beyoncé

beyoncé said "fuck it yeehaw" and dropped a country album.

but this is honestly not unexpected, as we can see from the 'renaissance' album released in 2022. cowboy carter is the second installment of her three-act project, the first act being 'renaissance'. just like act i, beyoncé explores decades of history in the country genre, kind of like a reformation. this album features many country stars like dolly parton, willie nelson, and linda martell, but didn't explicitly sang in the tracks, mostly in spoken words during interludes or track intros.

beyoncé's 'cowboy carter' is an amazing tribute to the country legends, especially for linda martell. the guestlist contributes to the album too. boy do i love harmony on country guitar melodies, its kind ethereal yk. the track transition, just like act i, made the whole album.

ok i admit now that country music is good. its just that i never in my lifetime did i expect that i would listen to dolly parton... because of beyoncé at least. anyways dolly p is mother.

best track: ii hands ii heaven - ascension to heaven amen.

tracks that i rec listening: 16 carriages, my rose, bodyguard, daughter, alligator tears, ii most wanted, flamenco, ya ya, desert eagle, riiverdance, tyrant, sweet ★ honey ★ buckiin', amen.

worst track: levii's jeans - bland just like post malone.

overall score 8.5/10 - this is all opinion so pls no hate

listen to it here:

February 21st, 1974, London, UK - Queen Story!

Queen played "Seven Seas of Rhye" (taken from 'Queen II' album, 1974) on "Top of the Pops" replacing David Bowie

🔸"Seven Seas of Rhye"

Written by Freddie Mercury

👉 The song's success enabled Mercury to quit his day job working at a stall in London's Kensington Market.

I love encountering the "I only like their '70s songs" queen fans because they're such a funny flavour of extremely pretentious

the way they talk about it you'd think their entire family was personally murdered by a synthesiser and/or a drum machine

[cyarsk5230]

Remember when Justin Timberlake performed a live duet with Chris Stapleton and there was zero outrage over that because we know the fruck whyte!
