Happy Friday and happy International Day of Charity! It’s also Freddie Mercury’s birthday (he was born in 1946, and would be 79 if he were still alive today). Our community project: scent a Queen song, or honor Freddie Mercury with your fragrance in any other way you see fit.
What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project. And a bonus question: suggest an artist, group or theme for a music community project. For reference, I will post a list of what we’ve done so far in the comments. And remember, you’re ALWAYS welcome to suggest a community project on any theme, and you’re ALWAYS welcome to ignore community projects …nobody cares, and you don’t ever have to apologize or explain if you don’t join in. They’re just for fun.
My inspiration today: Somebody to Love, the Aretha-Franklin-inspired, gospel-tinged 1976 song from the album A Day at the Races. It’s easily my favorite Queen song (of those I know, which admittedly is a fraction of the band’s output). The lyrics are introspective bordering on morose, but the music is soaring, and it always makes me happy when I hear it. I’m in Aftelier Candide…
