Rolling Stones

The song, Waiting on a friend by the Rolling Stones, is about how being in a relationship isn't the coolest thing "It aint the latest thing" If you're in a relationship, great, but if you're not don't worry about it. Some people think dating is just a game, "Making love and breaking hearts". The artist explains, "I need someone I can cry to" someone who can help with your problems and will always be there. A good friend is all you need, "A smile relieves a heart that grieves".

Song Analysis

My song is We Are The Champions by Queen. Lead singer, Freddie Mercury, at the age of 45 died due to AIDS. It is said that he wrote many of their songs based on his disease. This song is about when he found out he had AIDS, "I've done my sentence but committed no crime". He's been diagnosed with this disease, like a punishment that he has to serve time for. But he committed no crime, he did nothing to deserve getting the disease. However, he didn't sit and sulk about it, "I've had my share of sand kicked in my face- but i've overcome". This song is a positive message because the beggining explains that he's had a bad experience, but he will overcome it and live his life as happy as he can, "No time for losers 'cause we are the champions-of the world-".

For my project im doing positive messages in rock. My family is big on bands like Rolling Stones and Queen so i can think of alot of songs. Also, alot of people in class are doing stuff in country so i figured i would do something different.
