I Want To Break Free - Queen

I Want to Break Free by Queen was released in 1984 and was taken from their album called 'The Works.'  Queen were famous for their energetic live shows, particularly from their lead singer Freddie Mercury.  Queen were never afraid to be different and this video is a good example of that as the band are all dressed as women.  This song was suggested by Raul in T7.

Watching The Wheels - John Lennon

John Lennon died 32 years ago yesterday.  He was killed by a fan as he walked into his apartment block in New York.  Watching the Wheels was from his last album and this is a demo.  I think this version shows how beautiful the song is. This song is for the mother who cried yesterday. We all miss John Lennon.

How Soon is Now - The Smiths

How Soon is Now is my favourite Smith's song.  Great lyrics and fantastic music.

I Know It's Over - The Smiths

I Know It's over by The Smiths is a song about the end of a relationship and is from their excellent album 'The Queen is Dead.'

Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want - The Smiths

OMG!  I Love The Smiths and Inés in T6 has requested two songs.  The Smiths were an alternative rock band from Manchester and were active for 5 years in the 1980's.  The Smiths combined beautiful melodies with clever and thoughtful lyrics.  They were particularly popular with students and teenagers who could identify with the message of the songs.  For Morrissey, the lead singer,  being a teenager wasn't a happy experience.
