In particular, it is valued to me. The sound of closeness in a song is my favorite sound. Like Ratliff said in the book “But the earlier Beatles, through Help!, contained the marvel of closeness between the voices of Paul McCartney and John Lennon. They knew its power; they celebrated it, were celebrated for it, could hardly contain it, may have been frightened by it, may have tried to frighten each other with it.” (Ratliff pg 364) This sound started an uproar and a beautiful new noise.

The beginning of the song all four members of Queen are singing in perfect unison. The outcome of this is something so pure and magical in music.  In the middle of the song, theres a part where they sing "thunder bolts and lightening very very frightening me" This part of the song is also in perfect unison and produces a beautiful sound which made this song one of the most popular songs in the world.]]> 2017-11-12 23:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiestancil/ijy6ik3i70n7/wish/206054671 sophiestancil https://padlet.com/sophiestancil/ijy6ik3i70n7/wish/206055000 2017-11-12 23:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiestancil/ijy6ik3i70n7/wish/206055000 sophiestancil https://padlet.com/sophiestancil/ijy6ik3i70n7/wish/206055069 2017-11-12 23:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sophiestancil/ijy6ik3i70n7/wish/206055069
