Queen – I Want It All

Era il 1989 e questo bellissimo brano era contenuti nell’album The Miracle.

Dopo tre anni di assenza dalle scene i Queen tornavano prepotentemente alla ribalta con I Want It All, una delle loro canzoni più belle e intense. Una canzone, però, che Freddie Mercury purtroppo non ebbe mai occasione di cantare dal vivo.

Nonostante sia stata accreditato a tutta la band, come era loro abitudine fare, il brano è stato composto da Brian May, riprendendo – si dice – una frase che spesso gli veniva ripetuta dalla moglie, che lo spronava a prendere delle decisioni.

Testo:

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

Adventure seeker on an empty street

Just an alley creeper, light on his feet

A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt

With the pain and anger can’t see a way out

It ain’t much I’m asking, I heard him say

Gotta find me a future, move out of my way

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

Listen all you people, come gather round

I gotta get me a game plan, gotta shake you to the ground

Just give me what I know is mine

People, do you hear me, just give me the sign

It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth

Here’s to the future for the dreams of youth

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

I’m a man with a one track mind

So much to do in one life time

Not a man for compromise and where’s and why’s and living lies

So I’m living it all, yes, I’m living it all

And I’m giving it all, and I’m giving it all

It ain’t much I’m asking, if you want the truth

Here’s to the future, hear the cry of youth

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all and I want it now

And I want it

Now

I want it

I want it
