A song that most reminds me of Freddie is
"When You Come Back Down" by Nickel Creek.
Freddie was certainly an Angel and our Prince.

LADY LOVES FREDDIE · 09-18-2001, 02:59 AM

I have been thinking about this topic and theres so many songs Id love to slow dance with him,while I take him in my arms

but Id say, ALONE by the BEE GEES. I love Freddie Prinze and I love the Bee gees and I pick that song because

I feel that our poor Freddie felt alone, and maybie thats why he ended it.Most people to my knowledge, who end it feel empty inside

and even though people did care like his mama God bless her! depression and events in his life I feel may have caused him to feel empty.SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOO very sad

I love you Freddie....we all do! Great topic chicosladyfair!

One song which now reminds me of our Freddie is the song FREDDIES DEAD by the late soul singer Curtis Mayfield who used to be with the IMPRESSIONS. This song was on in 1972 or 73 & was from one of the SUPERFLY movies that was popular & out at that time. I have a 45 single (Little record with a big hole in it) of this. Recently it hit me how some of the words in it pertain to Freddie even tho it isn't written about our Freddie.

There the lines in it: " Everybody's misused him, ripped him off & abused him" "If you want to lead a junkies life remember Freddie's dead"... I'm sure our Freddie was bound to have heard the song back then & I bet he liked it too. I wish he had taken the words to heart...

Songs that remind me of Freddie. Well, me with my kooky sence of humor goes with the 70's Disco as I can imagine him dancing.
One other 70's song is a song by Bread " I would give everything I own". Just the memories of Freddie with is laughter and humor I have of him as I think of that Song.

MariposaLKB · 09-18-2001, 03:51 PM

Great choice, hue_mee! "I would give everything I own, just to have you back again"--wouldn't any of us?!

As for disco, I never did like it much but I have always loved the Bee Gees and I can imagine slow-dancing with Freddie to "How Deep is Your Love" from "Saturday Night Fever"! And one of their earlier songs applies to Freddie's life--"How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?" I could hear Freddie singing those two, or "Words" or "To Love Somebody"--any of their slow, romantic ballads.

EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL by the Main Ingredient would be a good one for him. Not only did he love the Main Ingredient so I'm sure he knew this song but there are some words in the song that pertain to him:

"You say you're thinking about dying? Well before you do anything rash dig this. Everybody plays the fool, sometimes, no exception to the rule, listen baby, maybe factual maybe cruel, I ain't lying everybody plays the fool"....

LADY LOVES FREDDIE · 09-19-2001, 02:13 PM

Ahhhh yes Maraposa,That song by the Bee Gees,(How deep is your love) is indeed one of which I imagine Freddie and I slow dancing to.

Karen64 · 09-19-2001, 08:21 PM

This song is pretty depressing; it was popular several months ago. It's by Papa Roach, called "Last Resort". Some of the lyrics:

Cut my life into pieces,
This is my last resort,
Suffocation,
No breathing,
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding..

Its reminded me of the desperation our dear Freddie must have been feeling toward the end of his life...

I've gotta start listening to happier songs!!

Luckymama58 · 09-20-2001, 06:08 AM

I don't know if this qualifies as a Freddie song, but I like to picture him singing it to me when I listen to it, even though it is sung by another heart throb of mine Jon Bon Jovi (though not as big a one as Freddie!). It is on their Crush album and the song is "Thank you for loving me" The lines I love to imagine mostly is the chorus:
"Thank you, for loving me.
For being my eyes, when I couldn't see.
For parting my lips when I couldn't breathe.
Thank you for loving me."
Man if he did that I know I would be thanking him!

I have been hearing a song on the radio for weeks now that makes me think of Freddie every time it comes on. It is a slow, sad tune.

Artist: Five For Fighting
Album: America Town
Title: Superman

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me

I’m more than a bird...I’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see

It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me

Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It’s not easy to be me.

I was fortunate enough last night to be at the first show of Neil Diamond's world tour, and he sang a couple of songs near the end of the show that I hadn't thought about in years, which Freddie could have written and sung. One was "I Am I Said", which I will just summarize by saying that it is about a New Yorker moving to LA and feeling completely out of place. The other was "Shilo", which I think is addressed to a child's imaginary friend by that person as an adult looking back over the life he has lived--dreaming alone, being distant from his father, and losing his dreams because he loved a woman who didn't understand and left him because of them. Here it is (muchas gracias Luckymama!):

SHILO
Young child with dreams
Dream ev'ry dream on your own
When children play
seems like you end up alone
Papa says he'd love to be with you
If he had the time
So you turn on the only friend you can find
There in your mind

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And we'd play

Young girl with fire
Something said she understood
I wanted to fly
She made me feel like I could

Held my hand out, and I let her take me
Blind as a child
All I saw was the way that she made me smile
She made me smile

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
And you'd stay

Had a dream, and it filled me with wonder
She had other plans
"Got to go, and I know that you'll understand"
I understand

Shilo, when I was young
I used to call your name
When no one else would come
Shilo, you always came
Come today

I have another tune that reminds me of Freddie... It's also sung by Bread........

It's called "If" - I love that song and I remember it came out around that time..... Maybe someone knows the year it came out. This one also reminds me of Freddie.

Whenever I hear it I think of him...........

I was a senior in high school when this song was popular, so it had to have been late 1971 or early 1972.

My goodness, there are so many songs that remind me of Freddie...my tastes change all the time. There is one song that I have that reminds me of him. Let me set the stage...
I live about 8 hours away from Los Angeles. If I was to get in my car it wouldn't be long till I got there. The freeway between here and there is flat, lonely, and littered with truck stops. This song reminds me if I was to get in my car and drive to L.A. to see a certain hot Latin man. It's called "4:30" and it's by Sara Evans.

It's been so long I should be used to this by now...
Loneliness that keeps coming back around...
The moon on my window cast a different light...
On all these memories that keep me up tonight.
Hey, I know just what I need...it's you and in a hurry.
If I got on the road right now I"d see ya at 4:30
I think I have about 16 miles of gasoline left in my car...
There's an all night truck stop, I bet I could get that far...
I can close my eyes and smell coffee in the air...
I'll fill my cup, if you ain't up...I'll soon be there.
Hey, I'm letting go so baby don't you worry...
Wheels on ground, I won't slow down...and I'll see ya at 4:30
I won't allow my mind to talk me out of this...
Past every exit sign cause that's the way it is...
Hey, I know just what I need...it's you and in a hurry...if I got on the road right now...I'd see ya at 4:30
Hey, I'm letting go so baby don't you worry...
Wheels on ground, I won't slow down and I'll see ya at 4:30

By The Way: I recommend to everyone to get Sara Evans new album. It's called "Born To Fly". She used to be a back-up singer for Vince Gill...the girl can sing her butt off and this album is loaded with Freddie songs. Every song on this CD is so good. It's well worth the money.
