Paul Jack Griffiths is watching Queens official video for 1976s epic track titled Somebody To Love ..... @can anybody find me somebody to love ........ Queen with their epic 1976 track Somebody To Love ...... Somebody to Love by Queen was written by Freddie. It debuted on the bands 1976 album A Day at the Races and was also featured on their compilation album Greatest Hits which is the UKs biggest selling album of all time. The song offers listeners something similar to that of Queens earlier hit Bohemian Rhapsody with its complex harmonies and guitar solos, however instead of mimicking a choir the band turned to a gospel choir. It reached no:2 in the UK. This song made it clear to fans that Queen could swing as hard as it could rock, by channeling the spirit of gospel music. Somebody to Love is a soul searching piece that questions gods role in a life without love. Through voice layering techniques Queen was able to create the soulful sound of a 100 voice choir with that of only three voices of Fred, Brian May and Roger Taylor. John did not sing on the albums track. Mercurys fascination and admiration for Aretha Franklin was a major influence for the creation of this song. Queen played Somebody to Love live between 1977 and 1985 and a live performance of the song is recorded on the album Queen Rock Montreal ...... everyday I try and I try and I try but everybody wants to put me down they say Im goin crazy they say I got a lot of water in my brain got no common sense I got nobody left to believe yeah yeah yeah yeah oh Lord somebody, somebody can anybody find me somebody to love got no feel I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat Im ok Im alright aint gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell someday Im gonna be free lord find me somebody to love can anybody find me somebody to love ........
