In G, All Over the World

"Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried." 39, recorded by Queen (Brian May, 1979)

Music. A catchy little tune, a compelling arrangement.

'For so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me."

Quirky sci-fi thing, done in so many Hollywood movies. The guitar licks are impressive, engaging and though based on simple chords demonstrate what an accomplished player can do with the key of G.

Then this one. There were 350,000 Ukraines singing along in a place called Freedom Square. An estimated 20 million people watched on TV.


Gives me goosebumps.
