1 per week - Queen + Tom Chaplin, Live at The Princes Trust Rock Gala


Today I'm replacing Ana's post on 1 per week.

This song was performed by Queen and Tom Chaplin from Keane, in honor of The Princes Trust Rock Gala, an annual gala organized by Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.

This song is named It's a Hard Life, appearing firstly on Queen's 10th album "The Works" with songs like Radio Gaga, I Want To Break Free and this one.

It's a Hard Life was written has a continuation of his previous tracklist song Play The Game, was written by the perspective of the lover and his surge of real love. The song is based on an opera called L' Pagliacci from Ruggiero Leoncavallo.

With this video I want to show you the contrast of the eternal Freddie Mercury and Keane's singer Tom Chaplin. No doubts, Freddie Mercury is the best, he is a genius. But in my defense, Tom Chaplin's version sounds so real, so Queen somehow without leaving his own voice and interpretation. Both have amazing and extraordinary voices live and here is the biggest proof.
Mr. Chaplin can reach in unimaginable tones just like Mercury. They are such performers and singers!


"You win, you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love 
Oh yeah I fell in love 
But now you say it's over and I'm falling apart"
