"Bohemian Rhapsody" belongs to Queen. I have no rights to the song. Or Ranger's Apprentice.
So, since this song is already a ballad, I figured t'would be good for a parody-ballad. I took Will from book one and just wrote a song about the Choosing. Now, THIS SONG WILL NOT MAKE SENSE UNLESS YOU LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL.
I know "Bohemian Rhapsody" will seem super weird when you first listen to it (it did when I did) but just give it a chance, it's actually a great song.
Woah, I'm SO SORRY for not updating for so long! Btw, have you guys all seen "So Call Me Gilan"? It's up on YouTube :D
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a castle
No escape from reality
I'll open my eyes,
Look up to the trees and see
I'm just a poor boy, I wanna be a knight
Because I'm climbing walls, climbing trees,
Way up high, way down low
Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me…..to me.
Daddy, you were a knight
Led battle at Hackham Heath
Were a hero in the war
Daddy, when will my life begin?
I wanna be a hero someday.
Daddy, ooh, didn't mean to be so small
If my growth spurt doesn't happen by tomorrow
I won't be, I won't be a knight in shining armor.
Too late, the time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, battle school, I've got to go
Gotta leave it all behind and face the truth
Daddy, I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Ranger Halt, Ranger Halt, will you tell Baron Arald?
Glaring frowns and silence, very, very fright'ning me!
Battleschool! Ranger Corps.! Battleschool! Ranger Corps.! Battleschool! Ranger Corps. Oh no!
Ranger Corps! I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me.
He's just a poor boy, from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Climbing high, in the dark, will you letme go?
Brouhaha! No, we will not let you go!
Let me go! Brouhaha, we will not let you go!
Let me go! Brouhaha, we will not let you go!
Let me go! We'll not let you go! Aaahhhh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Oh, Baron Arald, Baron Arald, Baron Arald, let me go!
"The Ranger Corps. has an apprenticeship for you, for you, FOR YOU!"
So you think you can take me and Ranger-fy me?
So you think you can train me and leave me to die?
Oh, Arald, can't do this to me, Arald!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here!
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters….to me.
Any way the wind blows!
I really liked the part where Will said "If I don't get my growth spurt by tomorrow" XD
Also, the "sihlouetto of a man" is when Will climbs in the dark and Halt grabs him. Remember Will thought he would get punished? That's where the "will you let me go" part came from. And then I used "Brouhaha" because in book two, Arald and Pauline have a little jibe about it. ^^
I wish I could just poof to you and explain this song, or provide a track with commentary or something, but I can't. Hope this kind of made sense to you.
Still lookin' for song suggestions!
