Dani has the wonderful idea for a contest regarding the son or songs that remind us of Freddie, but I was wondering, what songs would you love to hear Freddie sing?

:music: I would love to hear him sing anything by Enrique or Marc Anthony. I would have also loved for him to sing with Carlos Santana playing in the background! MMMMMM:liplick:

Good call Luckymama! I can picture Freddie singing in one or many of Carlos Santana's projects! He would of been great!!! :guitar:

I would love to hear Freddie sing Hello by Lionel Ritchie. wouldn't you just melt???

I agree with all the suggestions so far, and even though I posted this on another thread, I think it bears repeating. It is a song done by Josh Groban, called "Alejate (Go Away)". I hear Freddie singing this--and playing the beautiful Spanish classical guitar accompaniment--every time I listen to Josh's CD (which is all the time LOL!).

Here it is in Spanish:

Jamás sentí en el alma tanto amor
Y nadie mas que tú, me amó
Por ti reí y lloré, renací, cambie
Lo que tuve di, por tenerte aquí
Ya sé que despedirnos es mejor
Sufriendo pagaré mi error
Ya nada será igual, lo tengo que aceptar
Ya hallar la fuerza en mí para este adios
Aléjate, no puedo más
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mí
Y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adios
Y me resignaré a seguir sin tu calor
Y jamás entederé que fue lo que pasó
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate
No voy a arrepentirme del ayer
Amándote y se, mujer
Por el amor aquel, por serte siempre fiel
Hoy tengo que ser fuerte y aprender

Aléjate, no puedo más
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mí
Y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adios
Y me resignará seguir sin tu calor
Y jamás entederé que fue lo que pasó
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate

Aléjate, no puedo más
Ya no hay manera de volver el tiempo atrás
Olvídate de mí
Y déjame seguir a solas con mi soledad
Aléjate, ya dime adios
Y me resignará seguir sin tu calor
Y jamás entederé que fue lo que pasó
Si nada puedo hacer, aléjate


And the English translation:

I never felt so much love in my soul
And no one but you loved me
Because of you I laughed and cried,
I was reborn, I changed
What I had I gave to keep you here
I know that saying goodbye is best
Suffering, I will pay for my mistake
Nothing will be the same, I have to accept it
And find the strength in me for this goodbye
Go away, I can't bear it anymore
There is no way to go back in time
Forget about me
And let me go on alone with my solitude
Go away, go on and tell me goodbye
And I will resign myself to go on without your love
(Note: the word "calor" literally means "heat"--a great way to describe love IMHO LOL!)
And I will never understand what happened
If there's nothing I can do, go away
I'm not going to repent for yesterday
Loving you and I know, woman
For that love, for always being faithfu
l Today I have to be strong and learn

Go away, I can't bear it anymore
There is no way to go back in time
Forget about me
And let me go on alone with my solitude
Go away, go on and tell me goodbye
And I will resign myself to go on without your love
And I will never understand what happened
If there's nothing I can do, go away

Go away, I can't bear it anymore
There is no way to go back in time
Forget about me
And let me go on alone with my solitude
Go away, go on and tell me goodbye
And I will resign myself to go on without your love
And I will never understand what happened
If there's nothing I can do, go away

In the CAN YOU HEAR THE LAUGHTER movie they showed how Freddie with his MIND, BODY & SOUL group sang the Temptations song JUST MY IMAGINATION RUNNING AWAY WITH ME. Instead of Ira Augstain singing it in the movie, I'd like to hear Freddie do that one.. :)

I agree Joy, Freddie would do wonders for Hello.:D

Welcome to the new person... :)

Bienvenida to Dramaqueen and Cleatus. It's nice to hear from new people come back often!!!
Joy

Hello?
Is it me your looking for?
I can see it in your eyes........

Oh yeah.... ;) :rock: :faint: :lol:

I can also see him sing to us gals........

"Sexual Healing" from Marvin Gaye...

Woooooooooooo :faint:

I can imagine Freddie sing the Nat King Cole Song. "When you fall in love"

Welcome to the new people. I could so see Freddie doing SEXUAL HEALING by Marvin Gaye. :) :) How about OH GIRL by the Chi-Lites? :)

This is another lyric I wrote a while back (see the thread concerning our song tributes for the first one). The idea of this is that Freddie would sing it to someone who found a way to bring him back to life and who then became his wife (it has no music as yet):

Vida Mia

It’s not like I didn’t have
a life before I knew you
I know it was supposed to be the best
Everyone loving me, everything at my feet
Many years and all the world in front of me
It was all I ever wanted, and too much too
all I really wanted was some rest

I took myself away from
everyone and everything
I know now just how wrong my leaving was
Full of fears and anger, loss and silence
All my lies and so much wine spilled in violence
It was not what I had wanted, to be dying
but now I’m alive again, because

You gave me back my life, vida mia
It was almost too late but you found me
Made me strong again when you
Wrapped your love around me
You gave me back my youth
Showed me what is truth
You are my only life now, vida mia

You’ve given me your whole self
To replace the one I lost
You knew just what to do to set me free
Completed by your love, I’ve been renewed
A restless heart and tortured soul found peace in you
You did it all, no thought to the cost

You gave me back my life, vida mia
It was almost too late but you found me
Made me strong again when you
Wrapped your love around me
You gave me back my youth
Showed me what is truth
You are my only life now, vida mia.

Nice........ Nice........ Mariposal! :clap:

That was a great song! I wish Freddie were here to sing it...

Wouldn`t that be wonderful!

Whenever I hear "Everything I own" by Bread, it reminds me of Freddie. :heart:

Me to Bella...I can't believe you said that!! Of course all songs lead to Freddie for me. Not that he's on my mind much...LOL.

I agree about all the songs too Macca!! LOL! I like that pic you have. Was that from, MDR? Anyway that song, EIO, just always reminds me of our Freddie. :)

I have never heard that song, everything I own. I don't think so any way

A little of the song goes, Is there someone you know and your loving them so and taking them all for granted, you may lose them someday, someone takes them away and they don't hear the words you long to say.......I would give everything I own, give up my life my heart my home, I would give everything I own, just to have you back again. I think that was the second verse with the chorus.......If you heard it you would probably know it. :) Congrats to macca, nice song!! :)

sounds beautiful!!! thanks and yes it sounds like Freddie

I'm glad you like the picture Bella..and yes it is from the MDR. There are more posted at Freddie's Cafe.

I'm loving the new pics! :)

I too love that song by bread." Everything I own", it is such a beautiful and tender love song. I had used it in one of my stories for the fan fiction

Hi ladies!:bye:
Back again.:) Well, it seems that we have more space on our cd than we thought, so we want your opinion. Which of these songs or any other song for that matter should be added to the Freddie tribute CD? Please let us know what you want, so we can make the ultimate dream CD!;):D

EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL by the Main Ingrediant

YOU'RE STILL A YOUNG MAN By Tower of Power

NATURAL HIGH By Bloodstone

(they remind me of Freddie)

2 songs used in the CAN YOU HEAR THE LAUGHTER movie

EVERYBODY IS A STAR by Sly & the Family Stone

& JUST MY IMAGINATION by the Temptations

From CATM

LIGHT MY FIRE by Jose Feliciano

I'll be mailing Mariposa and my song out to Macca on Monday.

I love the song by Stevie Wonder called "always" It is so fitting and dreamy!

I think this is going to be one awesome CD I can't wait!!!
Thank you Dani for the contest idea, Macca for making the CD, thanks to all of you who entered the contest, and thank you Freddie for bringing us all together and inspiring us!!

I think I will add the song "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?" by Stevie Nicks. Reminds me so much of Freddie. I think it's a must.
