TALK ABOUT A SONG YOU ENJOYED LISTENING TO.
You should say:
who sang the song
what the song is about
where and when you heard it
and explain why you enjoy listening to this song
Sample answer:
Well, I am a great music lover. There’re so many beloved songs that I can list out but the most remarkable masterpiece that I’ve ever heard is absolutely “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
It was sung by Queen - a British rock band and is considered as the most recognized song of Queen’s legendary single. I am sure you probably know this song because even 40 years later, it is the most influential and memorable song of our generation.
I actually heard this song through seeing the highly-anticipated film “Bohemian Rhapsody” with my best friend - David a couple of weeks ago and I was instantly immersed in it.
It’s hard to talk about Bohemian Rhapsody without mentioning the master mind behind the song Freddie Mercury. This song is entirely written by him and lasts 6 minutes. It was officially released in the summer of 1975. It immediately stayed 9 consecutive weeks at the top of British charts - an achievement that no British band including the Beatles had ever made before.
You know, no one at that time every thought it would be a big hit. Although many critics claimed it was too long to play on the radio or turned their thumbs down when they initially heard it, the band didn’t surrender to even the slightest bit of uncertainty. I think Freddie Mercury really put all his eggs into one basket in terms of the risks of the song but in the end, it paid off immensely and proves to be the most sophisticated and best written song ever.
What I absolutely love about Bohemian Rhapsody is because of its unique sound and structure. I mean unlike most pop hits that last 3 minutes, it has opera, an opera, right in the middle of the song. There are different musical styles and lyrics such as an a cappella, ballad, opera and hard rock which are put together in one song. This is the definition of a mind-blowing piece of music.
To put the icing on the cake, it was recorded over 3 weeks of intense work. So, it took a lot of commitment, knowledge and a very very deep skillset.
All in all, beyond all the notes, lyrics and performances, what truly makes Bohemian Rhapsody immortal is that it embodies what every musical piece should be: the talents, the drive to push boundaries, and create something that brings us together.
With just this song, Freddie Mercury and Queen became something that very few artists managed to achieve - A legend!
