Che Farrokh Bulsara (vero nome di Freddie Mercury) avesse stoffa da vendere e fosse destinato a qualcosa di più dallo scaricare bagagli all’Aeroporto di Londra-Heathrow lo si può intuire già dalla prima esibizione dal vivo insieme agli Smile. Bohemian Rhapsody è tornato al cinema in versione sing along (karaoke). Per l’occasione potete trovare tutte le canzoni della colonna sonora. Qui sotto video e testo di Keep Yourself Alive.

Video e testo di Keep Yourself Alive

Nel film, durante la prima esibizione degli Smile, Freddie Mercury, che ha sostituito il più amato cantante Tim Staffell, non ottiene all’inizio l’approvazione del pubblico ma quando inizia a cantare la sua energia è travolgente. Qual è il brano con il quale si esibisce? Naturalmente Keep Yourself Alive, che reinterpreta un po’ alla sua maniera (e soprattutto senza aver studiato il testo). Qui sotto video e testo della canzone.

Keep Yourself Alive Lyrics

Take off
I was told a million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Mind you grow a little wiser
Little better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I’d still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile

Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shopping alley way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day

Now they say your folks are telling you
Be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
Stay right where you are

Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, it’ll take you all your time and money
Honey you’ll survive
Ow

Well I’ve loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays

Give me everything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I’ll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal

I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better every day

But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I’d still be where I started
Same as when I started

Keep yourself alive, come on
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, it’ll take you all your time and money honey
You’ll survive

shake
Ow

Keep yourself alive, wow
Keep yourself alive
Oh, it’ll take you all your time and money
To keep me satisfied

Do you think you’re better every day?
No, I just think I’m two steps nearer to my grave

Keep yourself alive, c’mon
Keep yourself alive
Mm, you take your time and take more money

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
C’mon keep yourself alive

All you people keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
C’mon c’mon keep yourself alive

It’ll take you all your time and a money
To keep me satisfied

Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
All you people keep yourself alive

Take you all your time and money honey
You will survive
Keep you satisfied
