“Under Pressure” of Queen&David Bowie

 
    Many people know the song. Actuality, the melody is somewhat foggy for me but, through television advertisement, I quickly learnt about the fact of this brilliant piece. In ads, creator use the word of ‘able’ in commercial music that David Bowie & Queen coworked with this price of music. Its melody and beat are monotonous, but the bass guitar strokes at our hearts. That makes our hearts addicted to this song. However, the lyrics added meanings of ‘hope’ in conjunction with the melody. In addition, the word ‘love’ shows the last step of our miraculous hope. As in other pieces, Queen’s music is uninterested in social conformity and aims to bring a brilliant future.
    Also this song was used as OST in <Happy Feet 2 (2011, animation movie)>. In this remake, with the orchestra and a-cappella, the original version was made even more magnificent.
    I recommend a YouTube search of the video. It will help understanding the power of this song. Frankly speaking, good music makes us happy but excellent music is priceless.
