Annotated 47-33
FB: A march for equality begins.
Gonna take a mulligan on commenting on this one. It’s been a stressful few days…nothing that’ll be worth remembering in a week, but I’d rather let Best and Freddie share their mood with me tonight than try to impose my mood on them. See y’all tomorrow.
Be well, T – hope things are better for ya soon.
More like a song for peaceful protesters than for warriors going into battle, I think.
It’s surprisingly versatile, it’s used in a fight scene in Shaun of the Dead and in big battle in Hardcore Henry.
Are you talking about “Don’t Stop me now” or are the lyrics in the comic corresponding to an actual song that exists? I didn’t recognize anything.
Auraugu (in panel 3) isn’t tagged.
These music scenes somehow never work for me. When I recognize the song and hear it in my head, it can be different, but reading the words without knowing the melody or rhythm, it sounds in my head like someone was solemnly reciting a poem while watching a concert scene, with the sound turned off. Everything feels so extremely static. Which is weird because other scenes in this comic feel extremely dynamic, even hectic, but the music scenes (with lyrics) just never do.
WAV’s fight scene against the corruptor beast was different, and I think it’s because of the absence of lyrics, because it was a very action-y moment, *and* I had no problem hearing Daft-Punk-ish music the whole time, and it all made sense. Despite the fact that Queen is way closer to my taste than Daft Punk.
I have to agree with you.
I think a way to counter that would be to apply some kind of cadence to the layout of the words, to make the reader go through them at a certain pace. I couldn’t tell you how to read this one out though.
That sounds more like a challenge than a problem.
Time to pull up some music and fine one that fits.
I’m in the exact same boat. Books or graphic novels with printed songs never work for me, even if they’re laid out in stanzas.
I think the closest real Queen song to this one would be Under Pressure. (Which fits quite well, since Best has also been Bowie.)
Hmmm…. or One Vision?
