This week HelenVahdati has given us the words Take/ Taking for #songlyricsunday.
I have chosen Take my Breath Away by Queen. One of their beautiful ballards.
This is one of my favourites from that era 1976. This song is definitely one of their very best. I was 26 years young, married with two children. If I was tired it gave me a lift, it I was sad it helped me, if I was plain stressed it relaxed me! My two older boys grew up on a diet of Queen even when they were in the womb the last lad to a lesser extent but they all know and appreciate Queen.

Great song choice sis!

I do love this song Sis. I went to see Bohemian Rhapsody last week and dispite all the criticism it has received I loved it! 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 08:38:20
I really want to watch it!
Nov 04, 2018 @ 08:46:47
Do it’s wonderful 💜

I chose a Queen song too this week :O) I have to confess it’s the first time I’ve heard this one and I really loved it – beautiful choice x
Nov 04, 2018 @ 08:45:59
I just adore Queen they wrote such wonderful songs. I miss Freddie, you chose a beautiful song too.💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 08:50:49
They did. Between Freddie’s voice, the lyrics and Brian May’s guitar they were close to perfect :O) x
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:46:20
It’s amazing they all were great song writers especially John Decon
Nov 04, 2018 @ 08:59:52
Queen rules this week. Excellent choice. 🙂

Freddie at his melodic best 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:54:32
He had such a unique and lobely voice!
❤️
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:56:06
He did indeed 💜💝
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:17:44
This is a track that doesn’t get a lot of air play. Excellent choice Willow.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:43:34
I really love the Queen Ballards 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 11:38:23
That is two Queen songs in a row I had never heard! Oh dearie!
I guess I only know a handful,,,Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You….I have not heard these beautiful melodic ballads before.

Have you heard “sail away sweet sister” https://youtu.be/bAInsrtLv0o
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:46:06
I am listening to it now on YouTube, but no I don’t recognize it at all. I am guessing there are probably scores of Queen songs I have never heard. Yet the three I mentioned above I know all the lyrics off by heart I have heard them so many times.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 10:50:03
Me too , I have grown up with them, from my teens to my sixties so far 😀

I hadn’t realised ‘Take my breath away’ was that old. I was born in 1976. I love Queen too..
Nov 04, 2018 @ 13:50:15
They are an amazing group they encompass many generations. I saw Bohemian Rhapsody last week and dispite all the bad reviews it was brilliant, I just ignored the inconsistencies it was great 💜💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 14:20:41
I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ve heard some good reviews as well.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 14:29:27
I really enjoyed it so much 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:29:46
When it comes on Netflix I will watch it then.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:42:31
It will be worth the wait 😉
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:45:15
yes im sure I have a while to wait, but will definitely watch it when it is available.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:57:00
Did the homework get done 💜
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:57:46
we still have a biscuit to design..
Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:58:35

Nov 04, 2018 @ 20:59:03

Great choice! I love Queen. Can’t wait to see Bohemian Rhapsody.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 18:08:23
I saw the film last week and absolutely loved it, despite some of the chronology being out just suspend what you know and enjoy 💜💝❤️
Nov 04, 2018 @ 21:06:17
Fantastic music and haunting lyrics. Thank you for the reminder.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:25:27
Just beautiful, thanks for sharing! 🙂 I’m not too familiar with the lesser known Queen songs, so this was a new introduction for me and I’m very happy for it. The piano alone just makes me want to hit replay over and over.
Nov 04, 2018 @ 22:42:33
Thank you, Freddie at his very best . The older Ballard’s are beautiful 💜🌹🌹
