Marc Martel - I Want To Break Free (Queen cover)

Subscribe to my YouTube channel: Facebook – Twitter – Instagram – Coming from a band myself, I naturally have a higher appreciation for bands whose members are all involved in the creative process. It’s even more impressive when each member is able to crank out multiple radio hits on the merit of their own songwriting. Of course, Queen is one of the leaders of the pack when it comes to that, and even though Freddie and Brian wrote the bulk of their hits, Roger and John are no slouches. “Radio Ga Ga” and “Another One Bites The Dust” come to mind as tunes that haven’t exactly been eclipsed by anything else the band has recorded. This is my first cover of a John Deacon song, and I’ve heard from very reliable sources that the keyboard solo was recorded very early on in the recording process, as John was dead set on not having yet another guitar solo in the song. In honor of that little anecdote, I’ve decided to pull out a different vintage instrument of my own to set the solo apart from others I’ve sung or whistled. It’s an especially great time for us to all start singing this song together, don’t you think?
